Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Tummy tuck scar revision. Can it be done at the clinic under local anesthesia?
Tummy tuck scar
Nov 4, 2017
Limited scar revisions can be done under local anesthesia but the more extensive the revision the greater the likelihood your surgeon may recommend a general anesthetic. Again depending on how much a “bit of skin” might be impacts whether or not a local anesthetic might suffice. Typically revisional scars are better but whether or not it might be a more beautiful scar is indeed in the eye of the beholder.
Augmentation without lift possible?
Augment without lift?
Nov 4, 2017
Many might say your best option would be an augment in conjunction with an immediate breast lift but as you’re content with a little droop I would be happy to do a simple breast augment alone utilizing a submuscular dual plane technique. Your nipple will still be low as it is now but you will get added volume. Should the position of your nipple bother you postoperatively there is no reason a lift could not be performed at a later date.
Is 25CC going to make a big difference in breast size, like will that make me go up a whole size?
Difference with 25cc
Nov 4, 2017
Adding 25 cc to a breast augment would create at best a very minimal difference in the overall size of your breasts. You haven’t given us any specifics re your height/weight/current breast size so determining how much volume in you would create a cup size difference in not possible. In generalities I tell patients I would suggest adding approximately 100cc to make a cup size difference but this too is variable depending on a variety of individual patient factors.
What is the difference between dual plane and under muscle placement of breast implants?
Dual plane
Nov 4, 2017
Both techniques place the implant under the muscle. With a dual plane technique your surgeon will also release a variable degree of the breast tissue overlying the muscle itself. This will allow for greater filling of the lower pole of your breast and is especially useful in patients with mild to moderate ptosis or droop of their native breast tissue.
Would macaine have the same effect as Exparel for a tummy tuck and a breast augmentation?
Marcaine/Exparel
Nov 4, 2017
The primary clinical difference between Marcaine and Exparel is their respective length of action. Marcaine may provide an anesthetic effect up to 12 hours vs Exparel up to 72-96 hours. I use Exparel on all my abdominoplasties to help minimize the pain from the tightening of the abdominal wall musculature.
For a tummy tuck is it better to use Marcaine alone or Marcaine with adrenaline?
Abdominoplasty – Marcaine +/- epinephrine
Nov 4, 2017
I typically use marcaine with epinephrine on abdominoplasty skin incisions and Exparel on the surface of the abdominal wall muscles. I prefer marcaine with epinephrine because the epinephrine constricts blood vessels minimizing the blood loss associated with the skin incisions and it has the ability to prolong the anesthetic effect into the postoperative period. Exparel may provide an anesthetic effect on the muscles minimizing pain in this area for up to 96 hours.
Is it safe to be under GA for 5 hours for multiple procedures, tummy tuck, lipo, hernia and breast augm
GA 5 Hours Safe?
Nov 4, 2017
From the information provided I would believe you should be able to undergo a 5 hour procedure safely. Obviously your board certified plastic surgeon and anesthesia provider should do a careful preoperative assessment and if indicated ask the appropriate specialists to provide preoperative clearances.
I’m 56 year old woman. I had abdominal hernia surgery on January. Could I have a mommy makeover surgery
Mommy Makeover after hernia repair
Nov 4, 2017
Assuming your hernia surgery was successful there is no reason why you could not have a “mommy makeover”. I would suggest that you get to a body weight you are comfortable with prior to proceeding with any surgical intervention. Your board certified plastic surgeon should encourage you to do the same as his/her goal will be to make you look as good as possible at the weight you are when the procedure is performed.
Breastlift with reduction or without reduction?
Breast lift vs reduction
Oct 4, 2017
Definitely lose whatever weight you desire before any surgical intervention. Your wishes while potentially achievable in the short term with a lift alone probably won’t last long – they will soon bottom out and lose their high perky look. With a reduction the result may last longer but now you’ll be smaller than you wish. You need an in depth conversation with your board certified plastic surgeon to ascertain what can be accomplished and whether or not your wishes can be…
May someone help me understand what’s going on with my breast after a lift?
Breast lift
Sep 3, 2017
Three weeks is early but I would suggest discussing your concerns with your surgeon. The two pockets made for your implants may be somewhat different accounting for the difference when you lay on your back. If felt necessary by your surgeon, there may be some nonsurgical options to enhance the chances of getting the result you are looking to achieve. Without the privilege to personally examine you, my best guess re the orange color of your skin on one side is simply some…
I had 15u of Botox done between browns in mid July. Already on August 31 my muscles work as before… W
Glabella Botox
Sep 3, 2017
Your treating physician may have been overly cautious with you as this was your first time using Botox but 15U is a small dose for the forehead and therefore wore off more quickly than you expected. I typically use 25U to treat the glabellar region for most patients. When doing so, I usually put a small additional amount of Botox just below the lateral brow – this gives the effect of a subtle but apparent brow lift.
I have a small BCC on my ear flap. Mohs treatment is advised. At age 74 would it be best to do this or
Ear Mohs
Sep 1, 2017
Mohs would give you the best chance to have this lesion removed in one setting. If there are very distinct margins showing the edge of the lesion then a direct excision by a non-Mohs surgeon might suffice but there always is the chance additional surgery might be needed. I work in close collaboration with our local Mohs surgeons and offer advanced closure options for those patients that may need my expertise.
I had Mohs surgery on my nose tip one year ago. Can I still have a skin graft?
Delayed skin graft
Sep 1, 2017
There are a variety of options to address the results of allowing your Mohs defect to heal by secondary intention. It is now basically a scar that you wished looked better. Without the privilege of seeing your current defect, I would encourage you to see a board certified plastic surgery to discuss which option might be best for you. There are options – good luck.
Botox five days ago, when eyebrows raised very spock-like and one higher than other.
Spock eyebrows
Sep 1, 2017
I always counsel patients re “Spock eyebrows” prior to forehead injections. While rare, they are also very easy to correct. They occur because there is still function of the frontalis muscle laterally. This is the muscle that raises your eyebrows. A small additional dose to this area of the muscle easily corrects this problem. I would encourage waiting 2 weeks from your initial injection to allow the full results to become apparent before any additional treatments.
Can Botox be used to lower eyebrows?
Lowering eyebrows
Sep 1, 2017
Botox can certainly be used to lower your eyebrows. Injections of the appropriate amount can safely lower your eyebrow(s). Please be sure to see someone well trained re neurotoxin injections whether a dermatologist as recommended by others (who happen to be dermatologists) or a plastic surgeon.
