Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Is my belly button going to heal okay? 2 weeks post TT w/ lipo.
wound issues
Jan 10, 2019
Some wound healing around the belly button is not uncommon and often heals well.  Remember, your belly button started as a open wound soon after you were born.  If healing/scarring issues occur, revisions are usually minor procedures
Can I get a tummy tuck with a BMI of 33? 5’8 220 lbs
Is a BMI too high for a tummy tuck
Jan 10, 2019
BMI is a helpful too to gage complication risk but a complete exam is more important.  If you carry your weight in your buttocks and thighs and have little intra – abdominal fat and thin skin around your waist then you may be a good candidate.
Are there non-narcotic options for post-recovery pain: I’m in the early stages of consider doing a
Post op pain control
Aug 14, 2018
While you may be able to get by with no post op narcotics there are no guarantees.  We inject a long acting local anesthetic at the time of the procedure that will last about 3 days.  Post op care with NSAIDS and muscle relaxers may also lessen the need for narcotics.
Tips for Aiding Tummy Tuck and Breast Reduction Recovery?
Tips for recovery.
Oct 18, 2010
Along with the normal pre-op instructions, I think it is very important to go into surgery well hydrated. That may mean avoiding alcohol and caffeine prior to surgery. It also means that you shouldn't go on a long run (or other big workout) the day before surgery. Drink lots of water in the week leading to surgery. If you maintain good hydration you may experience less nausea and headaches and will just feel better.
How Soon Can I Do a “Mommy Makeover” if I’m Overweight Now?
When to perform a mommy makeover
Oct 18, 2010
I thing it is best to get to a stable weight first.  What that will be depends on many factors.  It may not be your pre-pregnancy weight.  It is also good to establish your exercise and eating habits prior to surgery.  Sometimes that means waiting until your child is a bit older as the stress/time needed caring for younger children may make it difficult to lose weight.
Can Someone with Lupus Undergo Tummy Tuck?
Lupus and tummy tucks
Oct 18, 2010
I have performed tummy tucks on patients with lupus and have had no troubles.  You have to have clearance from your private MD first.
MACS Facelift Scar Healing Time?
Healing after a MACS lift
Oct 15, 2010
The problem may either be hairs growing back through the incision (which will help conceal the scar in the long run) or a reaction to dissoluble sutures.  It will get better with time.
Sunken Chest After Male Breast Reduction
Sunken breast
Oct 15, 2010
I is a bit early to worry.  I would continue compression and massage the area.  If it does not improve then fat grafting may help.
Could Facial Liposuction Help with my Cheeks?
Liposuction of the cheeks.
Oct 15, 2010
Fuller cheeks often give a youthful look to the face.  As we age we often loose facial fat and this contributes to an aged look.  I would be very hesitant to try to remove fat from your cheeks.
Five Days Smoke Free Before Body Lift?
Smoking and body lifts
Oct 15, 2010
I think you should postpone your surgery for at least 3 weeks from when you stopped smoking.  Even with that, depending on multiple factors, you may be at some increased risk of wound healing issues for some time.
Insurance Coverage for Body Lifts for Non-cosmetic Purpose?
Insurance for body lifts
Oct 15, 2010
While insurance will often cover the removal of skin because of chronic yeast infections and skin breakdowns it typically won't a complete body lift.  I have seen no evidence that excess circumferential skin causes back pain.
How Long is Recovery for a Tummy Tuck and Brazilian Butt Lift Combo?
return to work
Oct 15, 2010
The ability for you to return to work will likely depend on the tummy tuck.  It is possible to return in your time frame but you will be tired and sore.
Breast Surgery – when Can It Be Redone?
Unhappy with size.
Oct 15, 2010
I usually recommend waiting 3-6 months or more to change the size of the implants.  I think it is important to get back to the things that you like to do first.  Sometimes when patients (who at first want to be larger) become active again they realize that their size is just right.  Also as clothes change throughout the year patients become happy with the size they originally picked.
One Breast Implant Taking Longer to Drop
Higher right implant.
Oct 15, 2010
It is natural to be worried.  Usually, though, implants take much longer to achieve their final results.  Be patient, continue massage, and follow up with you Doc.  It will likely get much better.
Breast Implant Scars
Scars after breast implants.
Oct 15, 2010
The scars after breast implants are rarely noticeable.  If placed under the breast they usually sit just above the crease so that if your bathing suit top rides up a bit it will still be covered.
