Question

Is hourglass shape TT possible w/out mesh?
s hourglass shape TT possible w/out mesh?
Aug 31, 2022
Absolutely. In most cases the fat that is beneath the skin and on top of the muscles if removed circumferentially with high-def lipo not only give the significant hourglass and also half of the definition of a Brazilian butt lift
What type of liposuction should I get to address ankles, calfs and knee reduction?
You Are a Candidate!
May 24, 2022
Thank you so much for your question. Ankles are a very difficult 3 dimensional liposuction challenge with the bone tendons and nerves and vessel’s. I have been doing ankles for over 30 years and if it is fat that is your problem, you are an excellent candidate for micro Lipo suction surgery. We would use very small cannulas with multiple directions without extra heat like visor or laser and it will require attention to compression for 3 months after. We will be preforming this procedure…
When can I stop dressing my incisions?
Contact Your Surgeon
Jan 23, 2019
Thank you for the question!  At my practice if there is no longer any drainage and the incisions are closed I would  tell the patient to continue with Hippafix tapes we provide, for up to 6 weeks. These tapes relieve the tension on the incisions and in our hands create the most minimal visible scar. My best advice to you would be to connect with your surgeon for the incision aftercare he recommends.
Is it a bad sign if patient coordinators keep calling you after a consult?
I believe that you can use this information
Jan 16, 2019
I believe that you can tell a great deal about a practice by your phone and email interactions.  Someone who is too busy to call back probably will be too busy or not take the time to do the best job they can do.  A very aggressive Patient CC may indicate that it is more about the money, but not necessarly. When an aggressive patient CC calls, they should be finding more out about you and what your needs and limitations are, and not just try to get you booked.  Our staff works very hard at…
Am I a candidate for a reverse tummy tuck? Or will I need a reconstructive surgeon?
Yes, from the photos i see I believe you need Lipo and a lower abdominoplasty called a Lipo- Abdominoplasty
Jan 16, 2019
You have a great amount of extra fat and loose skin.  In my hands a standard Abdominoplasty only adresses part of the problem.  I recommend an extensive circumferential LipoAbdominoplasty with a lower skin excision with probable relocation of your belly button.  My Instagram account at Clinique_Sculpture has live videos of this procedure that we perform under Awake Anesthesia
Brazilian butt lift or implants?
Brazilian butt lift or implants? No question Brazillian butt lift is better, safer, more natural and easier to control
Aug 4, 2017
I have practiced plastic surgery now for over thirty years.  I have seen the horendous results from buttocks implants, including infections, hypertrophic scars, difficulty walking, assymmetry and mal- placement, and acutally falling out.  I have been doing fat transfer since 1988 and have extensive experience with butt augmentation utilizing autologous fat.  This can all be done under awake anesthesia. Hyberbaric Oxygen Therapy has helped us get a much greater percentage of take and less sc…
What’s the difference between revision and round 2 BBL?
What’s the difference between revision and round 2 BBL?
Apr 29, 2017
There is a perspective difference between the two. I have performed many many BBL revisions mostly by other doctors where for a variety of reasons the result was not satisfactory not just too small. The revisions had complaints such as of fat too high in the buttocks, assymetery between the two sides, surface irregularities, transferred fat outside the border of the desired buttocks shape, and sagging butts. Round 2 for me would normally be a well shaped butt but less than the desired vo…

What is the right compression after lipo?
Mar 16, 2017
This question will be answered differently by ever lipo surgeon.  In my experience with lipo and especially large volume lipo, it is important to have intermittent compression.  For my patients starting with no compression for the first 24-48 hours, I have them wear it on for an hour and off for an hour and off at night.  When the compression is on, it needs to be tight enough to get some or most of the swelling out of the area.  The off time lets swelling return, but with fresh oxygen, pla…

Yes, I recommend a breast fat transfer or breast augmentation for me? I’m 29, 5’1″, 123 lbs. depenting on how large your desire
Mar 14, 2017
Fat transfer is definitely a possibility for you if you only desire to increase about 1 cup size or about double the amount of your breast tissue.  Getting enough fat to accomplish that will be very challenging, but since I have bee taking up to 90% of someones fat circumferentially from the inferior breast crease to the pubis, I have been very successful.  You will be some lifting, but it may not be as much as you might desire.  Additional lifting can be accomplished with the BodyTite® InM…

Irregular Contours after a Mommy Makeover
Mar 14, 2017
Your photos show many irregularities after your brachioplasty and your abdominoplasty with some additional excess skin.  In very large excisions, I myself have some irregularities like this but not very often, and would require a touch-up that I will charge for the operating room but not my time.  I your have had a very large change with large excisions, this amount of irregularity is more likely. I use the InMode® BodyTite® which is RF energy in an internal probe after my arm procedures and…
Boyfriend bumping me in butt every day (10 days post-op), will it affect final result?
Care after a Brazillian Butt Lift
Mar 14, 2017
Half of a BBL is strategically removing the fat above and above and to the sides of the buttocks itself.  This gives the hourglass figure that most women desire.  The other half is the increase in volume from transferring the fat into the buttocks.  In my experience of performing this procedure for almost thirty years, the fat is very robust and difficult but not impossible to injure.  I allow my patients to sit carefully, since you are really sitting on the sitting bones (Ischium) rat…
Will I lose weight after having the BBL procedure done?
The Answers about loosing weight before and after Brazillian Buttocks Lifts (BL)
Jan 30, 2017
This is question raises many issues surrounding  lipo and fat transfer during Brazilian butt lifts (BBL).   First of all, I would like a patient at their ideal body weight or the weight they expect to be for a considerable time in the future after their BBL. I also strongly believe that someone should not attempt to gain weight before a Brazilian butt lift procedure, even if you don’t have much fat to transfer.  When you re-loose the fat, you will also loose any of the additional from the b…
Would I be a candidate for cheek enhancement?
Would I be a candidate for cheek enhancement?
Jul 13, 2016
Cheek enhancement is something that can be done as a minimally invasive procedure.  I prefer fillers such as Bellafill that is essentially permanent, or using your own fat for natural fat transfer to the face.  The cheek enhancement is done in combination with treating hollows under and above the eye, in the hollow at the temples with extension into the hairline that can produce a remarkable chance.  The lower face augmentation is usually done at the same time.  In my hands, fat is the mos…
What should I do in order to make my face even again? (phtoso)
What should I do in order to make my face even again?
Jul 13, 2016
With the advent of fat transfer almost thirty years ago now, we finally were given a tool to reconstruct some of these volume problems without major surgery.  My first fat transfer to the face was in 1988 and I published an presented a paper about it using your natural fat with laser volume assessment to improve a bilateral defect from too much buccal fat removed from a facelift.  We found you have to double the amount of fat that is needed to fill the defect in order to end up with the d…
Any suggestions on surgeries to make me look better from the side?
Any suggestions on surgeries to make me look better from the side?
Jul 13, 2016
There are many things that can be done to enhance the profile and a consultation with an experienced facial plastic surgeon would give you the best answer.  However, neck liposculpture and/or malar “cheekbone” enhancement can give remarkable results.  The volume for the augmentation can be done with your own tissue which is called facial fat transfer, or it can be done with semi permanent fillers that totally resorb over 3-6 months, or Bellafill, which I prefer can give an almost permanent r…
