Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I have a deformed BBL, can it be fixed without going under the knife again?
Corrective Treatment for a Deformed BBL
May 3, 2020
Thank you for your question. In general it can be very stressful for patients to undergo revisions of a cosmetic surgery. It would be helpful to look at pre-operative photographs to see if there was skin laxity and sagging of these contours before the BBL. Also more photos but most importantly a physical exam by a board certified Plastic surgeon is important to be able to better judge the soft tissue fullness and contours to decide what might be the most appropriate treatment. Sometimes...
Do I need a lift or just an augmentation?
Do I need a lift or just an augmentation?
Jul 18, 2019
Thanks for your question Leslie.
First of all, congratulations on your weight loss! As you have seen, weight loss can affect your breasts significantly. If you are still in the process of losing weight, I would reach my goal weight before having surgery to be sure that more weight loss will not affect your final result.
From the limited photos that you provided, it looks like your nipple-areolar complexes, (NACs), are above the inframammary crease but there does appear to be some...
Right breast is A Left is C, will BCBS help with asymmetrical breast when this severe?
Breast Asymmetry (Right breast A cup, Left Breast C Cup)- will BCBS help with the cost of correction?
Jul 18, 2019
Thank you for this question. It is sometimes difficult for patients to work through insurance companies because when patients call them, they will frequently tell patients that the procedure is covered if it is medically necessary so try and this can be misleading. Unfortunately in this situation, since you are not having a functional issue or congenital defect such as Poland's syndrome, the difference is viewed as cosmetic in nature and usually is not covered by insurance. I can understand...
Can a back massage with her stepping on my back rupture my silicone 385cc implants?
Tips for massage
Sep 30, 2018
It is never advised to have someone step on your back which will put that much pressure on your implants. If padded underneath the surface you're laying on they may not rupture, but no guarantees. I strongly urge you not to do this.
What do you recommend for a breast augmentation at 53 years young?
53 years YOUNG
Sep 30, 2018
As long as you are in good health, you can undergo any cosmetic procedure. As a pre op screen, you should perform blood tests and EKG. This is standard for anyone over 50 years of age.
Regarding your breasts, you have to be examined to determine how much breast tissue you have to evaluate if you need a lift with any implants.
How long after breast augmentation can I resume household chores?
9 days post op
Sep 30, 2018
In general patients should not lift anything heavier than 5 lbs for 4 weeks. It all depends on what type of chores you are doing.
You should try to increase range of motion within the first day or two after surgery because the sooner you start moving, the better you will feel without pushing too hard. Please see your surgeon to make sure they agree.
Tightness under bust after tummy tuck. Can doing gentle back bends disturb anything at this p
Contact your doctor
Sep 30, 2018
I recommend you see the original surgeon for advice on your pain and/or activity level. Your doctor will know best how the surgery was performed, and can likely give you best solution.
What should I do about my big belly?
Advice for tummy tuck
Sep 30, 2018
The best candidate for a tummy tuck is when the rest of your body is at an ideal weight. Tummy Tuck is best for loose skin, and can also be combined with liposuction for full body contouring.
I feel like I look older than I am. What can I do?
Facial Aging at age 26
Jan 27, 2017
You are very attractive and not appropriate for a facelift. All of us have different facial lines and degrees of deepening of their nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corner of the mouth) and marionette lines (lines from the corner of the mouth to the jowl). Sometimes they are a little deeper even at an early age. The nice thing about that is the rest of the facial soft tissue usually is firm and youthful. If you are concerned with the appearance of your lower face you can consider...
Do I qualify for apron removal and how can i get private insurance to cover?
Body Contouring after Gastric Bypass Surgery
Jan 26, 2017
Congratulations on your weight loss! It is unfortunate but insurance companies will pay for the gastric by-pass procedure but rarely pay for the panniculectomy afterwards. Most insurance companies do not have this procedure as a benefit and if they do the redundant skin just about needs to be hanging down to the lower thighs. Of course in those situations there also has to be medical necessity established. It sounds like you do have medical issues but if your insurance company does not feel...
Is it safe to have a tummy-tuck w/MR and a BBL simultaneously or is it best to get each surge
Is it safe to perform a Brazilian Buttock Lift (BBL)with a Simultaneous Tummy Tuck
Dec 14, 2016
Thanks for your question as I frequently get asked this about these procedures. It is best to perform them separately, as complication rates can be higher with the combination and it can be extremely uncomfortable during the recovery. In essence with the BBL we will ask you to stay off your buttocks for at least three weeks and with the tummy tuck you usually have to stay off your abdomen for several weeks. So you do not have a good position to rest in.

I would recommend performing the...

Certified surgeon for liposuction on flanks in my area?
Liposuction in the Flanks
Nov 16, 2016
Thanks for your question. Liposuction can be a good answer to the "muffin top" so many people have as it frequently is difficult to reduce the contour of this area. It also depends on how much elasticity your skin has as opposed to skin laxity to determine how well the skin will shrink down to conform to the new contour after the liposuction is completed. Surgery is usually performed as an outpatient, most commonly in our office-based surgical centers. Decreasing the fatty deposits in this...
Can I safely be a C cup after reduction?
Safely Being a "C" cup after a Breast Reduction
Oct 25, 2016
Thanks for your question as it is a good one. Yes you can safely have a full "C" cup after a reduction from a "DD" cup. It is a commonly requested cup size and should allow good resolution of your pre-op symptoms while still maintaining a natural looking breast size. However there are many factors that determine what type of cup size you will have after a reduction. One of the most important ones is the requirement that your insurance company will place on you and your surgeon to have a...
Who/where are the tummy tuck surgeons that work with bladder suspension surgeons ?
Who/Where are the Tummy Tuck Surgeons who work with bladder suspension surgeons?
Dec 8, 2015
Thanks for the question. In general Plastic Surgeons are trained to perform Tummy Tucks and during their training have likely worked with either a Gynecologist or Urologist to do this type of combined procedure. As a rule Plastic Surgeons would not be trained to perform a bladder suspension surgery unless they obtained additional Fellowship or residency training in this field. A Tummy Tuck alone can be performed as an outpatient without an overnight stay in a facility, but this type of...
Will saline implants give the same look and results as a silicone implant?
Will saline implants give the same look and results as a silicone implant?
Nov 28, 2015
Both saline and silicone gel implants can give a nice appearance and overall result for breast augmentation. Sometimes depending on your natural breast tissues and desired outcome one might be better than the other, For instance silicone gel implants can give a softer look and feel sometimes but then saline implants may allow the surgeon to better provide balance between different breast sizes easier as saline implants have a range of volume over which they can be filled as opposed to...
