Brachioplasty for patient that did not have massive weight loss?

Brachioplasty and Smart Lipo
Jan 15, 2018

So far, every device sold to plastic surgeons which claims to tighten skin is lacking good evidence of its efficacy. Photographs may be tempting as evidence, but they can be deceiving. Objective, precise, longitudinal studies which involve serial measurements of marked skin are our only hope of saving people their hard-earned money for effective rejuvenation. There is great economic pressure for companies to market, and sell devices before their efficacy is established. Also, many patients...

Are all patients candidates for a drainless tummy tuck?

Drainless Tummy Tuck
Jan 15, 2018

I started doing drainless abdominoplasty about 8 years ago, after hearing Dr. Harlan Pollock's lecture on the subject. Whenever I asked my old patients about the worst thing about abdominoplasty, I expected to hear about pain, tightness, disability. I never did. I heard, "The drains. I hated those tubes" I have since learned that drains are a good way to treat an established fluid collection. However, they are not effective in preventing fluid collections. Maybe at one time, that was a...

I would like to do fat transfer to enlarge breast, please advise if this effective and would i

Fat Transfer to Breasts
Jan 15, 2018

Fat transfer to the breast tissues has a promising future. Most of us plastic surgeons who do fat grafting or transfer procedures agree that we are continuing to learn at a rapid rate. Currently, most breasts tolerate grafting amounts of 200-250 cc per side. That is a modest augmentation, and smaller than many women want. However, for those who will be satisfied with that volume increase, or who will return for a second grafting procedure if they want more, it is a wonderful way to get...

Is it safe to have multiple surgeries at once?

Multiple operations
Dec 29, 2017

I'm with the group that counsels dividing your procedures into face and body. If a patient of mine asks for what I believe will tax my energy level, or endurance, I ask her, " which one do you want me to do last?" When she asks why, I reply that I am human and may do a poorer job on the last part because I may be tired, or out of ideas. This is my way of telling her that I am human, and that I am aware of my limitations. Doing multiple operations always results in, at least, an additive...

Brachioplasty: extended or CoolSculpting, which is better?

Coolsculpting or Brachioplasty?
Dec 29, 2017

For my patients who are near their ideal body weight, and have a little excess fat, and fairly youthful, tight skin, Coolsculpting works well. My weight loss patients, by definition, have an excess of skin versus fat because they did well losing the fat and not so well tightening the skin. Therefore, a brachioplasty removing the extra skin in the arms and down the armpit to the inframammary fold at the lower side of the breast would be best. In fact, my weight loss patients often enjoy...

Arm lift, tummy tuck. What should I do first? Help

Arm lift and abdominoplasty
Dec 29, 2017

I usually ask my patients to prioritize their problem areas so that we can focus on number one. In that way, we do not, for any reason, operate on number two first. That outcome, however good, leaves the patient with their number one problem. So first, decide which is worse in your mind: your arms, or your abdomen. Focus on ridding yourself of the number one problem and you will have a joyous experience. A patient who, understandably, wants to combine as many procedures as possible must...

Neuropathic pain in armpit from brachioplasty

Nerve pain after brachioplasty
Dec 29, 2017

Many, if not most patients, have some weird shooting, or nerve pains after brachioplasty. Some, I treat with Neurontin nightly for about ten days. In 25 years of doing this operation, I have had three patients with more severe neuropathic pain. It was always on one side or the other. I treated each with a mixture of Xylocaine and a mild steroid called Kenalog after the patient and I made our best guess as to where a tiny sensory nerve may have been entrapped by the wound closure, usually...

Is an arm lift and lipo too early at six weeks post lower body lift and medial thigh lift?

Timing between operations
Dec 29, 2017

I tell my patients who are on their body contouring journey after weight loss that for 30 days after an operation, the body is "hypercoagulable". It has been through a traumatic event, so is primed to restart the clotting process to avoid further blood loss. This puts the patient at some increased risk for deep venous thrombosis, and pulmonary embolus, a blood clot travelling to the lungs. In the case of multiple operations needed to save life, or limb, this additional risk is taken into...

Suitability for lip lift?

Lip Lift Candidate
Sep 8, 2017

Your photos look, to me, like you would be a good candidate for a lip lift. The other features of your face seem to call for a shorter upper lip. Find a good surgeon by word-of-mouth and review sources that you trust. As in all facial work, subtlety triumphs over obvious. A good subtle lip lift can be a stunner of a little procedure, but remember underdone can be corrected much more easily than can overdone be.

Is a lip lift needed, or would fat injections work?

Lip Choices
Sep 8, 2017

I believe that the Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane provide an excellent opportunity to try filling your lip without permanent downside consequences. Fat grafting is permanent, as a lip lift would be. I would want to test the artistic expertise of my plastic surgeon first using a " pencil with an eraser". If it turned out well, then he could use an " indelible marker".

Are faster vs slower Coolsculpting results and metabolism speed related?

Coolsculpting and metabolism
Sep 8, 2017

Your question is very interesting. It is tempting to say that your metabolism is unrelated to the speed of fat reduction after Coolsculpting. However, the device works by causing apoptosis of fat cells by cooling them to a level intolerable to their metabolism. If the cells die by a drastic reduction in their individual metabolisms, then could a person's metabolic rate affect the rate and intensity of fat cell death? While it makes sense to me, I have not been able to find any studies which...

Wondering if by the looks of the photos of my breast if they'd be considered "tubular." What a

Tubular or not?
Sep 6, 2017

Whether someone's left brain calls one of your breasts tubular or not, you are going to need your plastic surgeon's right brain, the less verbal and more artistic one, to get you a reasonable result. You will be a challenge, for sure. An expectation of improvement is certainly reasonable, symmetry is not. Having said that, some of my toughest cases have been my most satisfied, not because their result was so stunning, but because what they had been living with before was so distressing.

Is a TT really needed in my case? Couldn't I just get full body lipo with main focus on my fro

Tummy tuck or lipo?
Sep 6, 2017

You look like you have a significant amount of abdominal muscle weakness from separation during pregnancy or weight gain. Only an tummy tuck with muscle tightening will address this problem. Your liposuction will be best suited as a source of material for grafting to your buttocks. Getting everything done at once is always tempting, but the recovery time can be extended and the complication rate higher with combination surgery, especially when liposuction is done. I like the notion of the...

Which pain medication is best after facelift/fat transfer?

Facelift pain
Sep 6, 2017

I have found that my patients have little physical pain after facial procedures. I give prescriptions for a mild narcotic, but suggest breaking the tablets in half to try a smaller amount first.

Breast implant slipped off to side, out of position? Can it be fixed?

lateral displacement of breast implant
Sep 6, 2017

With the degree of asymmetry that you had preoperatively, you represent a challenge. Sometimes, differences in breast size are due to chest wall asymmetry instead of, or in addition to, gland size. As others have said, some degree of waiting is warranted. One side may improve, the other side may migrate laterally, as well. Let it heal over a few month's time before you and your surgeon come up with a plan. Internal sutures to strengthen the pocket, artificial tissue support, and fat grafting...
