Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Areolar Breast Lift, is this a possibility for me?
Peri-areolar lift
Feb 5, 2017
Peri-areolar lift, in my practice is used to treat tubular type breasts or breasts with relatively minor ptosis. The risk of areolar spread in these patients can be countered with a Gortex cogwheel closure.
I would not offer this method for the photo presented. We are always cognizant of the patient's desire to limit scars, but we must balance this with a plan that can produce a realistic result. To idealize the aesthetics of these breasts, the areola should be...
I had a lift and implants, anchor incisions and I want to have the high projection im
Implant style changes
Feb 5, 2017
I would be concerned that simply changing the devise style may not provide the change you desire. Remember that the differences in projection size for size are measure in millimeters.
I would ask you to consider another option...fat grafting. With a supplemental fat graft, volume can be added directly to the area of concern without manipulating the implant and risking infection. At least three months should pass before you consider any revisional work.
What kind of thigh procedure was performed? My scars are on the outer side of my thig
Outer thigh lift?
Feb 5, 2017
I am not familiar with the "outer thigh lift". Most thigh reduction procedures feature an excision of skin and fat from the inner thigh. Inherent risks of this surgery include fluid collections, wound healing problems, and blood clots.
I try to stay away from the nodal bed on the groin to avoid fluid collections. I suppose that the key theme in thigh reduction into decrease the circumference of the thigh. Although the soft tissue of the lateral thigh...
Horndeski Method? No scars, why aren't more doctors using this method?
Breast lift Education
Feb 5, 2017
"Sustained result" is the "holy grail" of breast lift. Truth be known...there is no surgical intervention for breast lift that produces an unfailing result over time. Gravity and time, simply cannot be overcome. There is also no "scarless" method of breast lift.
I suggest that you find a board-certified plastic surgeon with aesthetic breast experience who is going to give you an honest education regarding surgical breast lift and how it applies to your specific...
Is it normal to feel the ripples of implants on the out side of one breast but not th
Early asymmetry
Feb 5, 2017
At three weeks out, it's hard to say. What I am looking for at this point is normal healing. That is...no redness, fluid collections, or wound issues.
Even fourth generation silicone implants can have a ripple. Palpation of the implant is more dependent on the quality of the breast soft tissue envelope then the devise. The thinner the breast envelope and the larger the implant...the more it is palpable and visible.
Many remedies have been offered for thin...
7 months post breast implant removal: How to fix asymmetrical breasts?
Asymmetry after Implant removal
Feb 5, 2017
My go to technique for these asymmetries is fat grafting.
In this technique, fat is removed from the abdomen or hips, washed, and injected into a topographical map placed before surgery. Fat grafting allows correction to very specific areas which is not possible with implants. Occasionally and in significant deformities, more than one session is required.
Do I have tubular breast? Do I need surgery? What's wrong with my breast
Breast evaluation
Feb 5, 2017
There is nothing wrong with your breasts. You have some asymmetry, and most women do. You do not have tubular breasts. This is a condition where the base width of the breast is narrow, and breast tissue tends to herniate into a large areolar complex.
If you consult with a boarded plastic surgeon, techniques available to you would include fat grafting and breast implants.
How much does it cost to get a breast implant revision to go bigger?
Size increase
Feb 5, 2017
If I am increasing my own patient, I discount the price of an augmentation. If I am increasing a new patient, it is the cost of an augmentation.
Unhappy with tummy tuck results. How much does a revision typically cost?
Abdominal Aesthetics
Feb 5, 2017
Before and after photos would be helpful. However, If you have a subcutaneous fat layer which can be lipo-suctioned, that might be helpful. Some folks do have a significant amount of intra-abdominal fat. This fat is not treatable by liposuction. It is, however, the most metabolically active fat, and responds well to weight loss.
Minor "dog ears" can be excised. Flank fat rolls are their own issue. They can be stubborn and...
How can plastic surgery fix the deep frown lines and the lines around my lips and und
Perioral wrinkling
Feb 5, 2017
These lines emanate from both volume loss and skin laxity. I would suggest a double pronged solution with fillers...(Hyaluronic acids - autologous fat)...and skin resurfacing...(Chemical peels-LASER resurfacing). If you LASER resurface, you should consider your entire face and neck to avoid a patchwork. I think that a neck and facelift would help restore a more youthful architecture to your face.
I would not suggest everything at once. I like to layer the...
3 years post-op: How do I know if I have capsular contracture?
Capsular Contracture
Feb 5, 2017
If you have no asymmetrical firmness, technically, you have no contracture. Mastodynia, (breast pain), is not necessarily always directly attributable to breast implant contracture. So it is impossible to predict if "hardening " is going to take place.
None surgical management of breast implant contractures include,principally, massage. Some pharmaceuticals like Singulaire have been touted to improve contracture but no solid scientific data exists for this...
How do I fix the saggiest boobs on earth?
Long time saggy breasts
Jan 31, 2017
Don't loose heart. There are safe and reproducible techniques to improve the shape of your breasts. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon who has a special interest in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery.
Saggy skin with tissue expanders after nipple-sparing mastectomy?
Sagging over my tissue expander
Jan 31, 2017
Be sure to keep your surgeon in the loop with this issue. It appears that you have a fluid collection around the implant. If that is the case, an aspiration or seroma catheter placement may be indicated.
Breast augmentation with 3 scar tissues every year and huge areolas. I just want my o
Reduction after augmentation
Jan 31, 2017
I would suggest a decrease in implant size using "pop-corn capsulorraphy technique" to shrink the capsule. I would add a bidirectional mastopexy. Your areola should be supported by a cogwheel gortex circumareolar suture technique. You will need drains with the smaller implants to control seroma, but I do believe that you can return to smaller pretty breasts.
Would a lift be needed to add a cup size or 2 with augmentation so my nipples don't s
Ptotic breasts and augmentation
Jan 31, 2017
It appears from your photos that you have a combination of ptosis and pseudoptosis.
WIthout attention to the breast and skin envelope, you risk a waterfall deformity over your augmentation implant---"snoopy's nose deformity". Many time best aesthetic results are achieved by adding volume to the areas where it is lacking (superior breast) and removing it from areas where it is too great (inferior breast). This can be accomplished with breast tissue excision at the time of an...
