Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I've had 3 pregnancies and 1 c-section. Do I need a tummy tuck or lipo 360 for a flat tummy?
Prioritize your goals
Jul 25, 2021
If you really want a BBL, you will need the fat from multiple areas to accomplish the fullness you desire. I would recommend having liposuction of the torso any transferring the fat to your buttocks.
Then undergo the tummy tuck and breast augmentation as a secondary procedure. Liposuction alone will not give you the flat tummy you want. The abdominoplasty will be needed.
Should I also add lipo to the flanks to accentuate my waist?
Treat your entire torso
Mar 4, 2021
Although tummy tuck surgery will often provide excellent contour improvement to the abdomen, you should seriously consider treating your flanks with extension to your hips and lower back to harmoniously improve your entire torso. Your silhouette has multiple views. You should improve all the views.
Breast Augmentation Recovery: What Can I Expect?
Recovery from Breast Augmentation
Feb 8, 2021
Recovery from breast augmentation is very straightforward. You should not have significant pain however you may notice chest tightness as you adjust to the implants in position. You should be able to return to routine activities within days, however I prefer patients do not return to full exercise routines for several weeks to permit resolution of surgical swelling. It is surprising how quickly you adjust to your new appearance. Within weeks patients have mentioned they feel as though they...
Need a total mommy makeover?
Staged procedures
Mar 31, 2020
It appears based upon the photos submitted that you have had significant weight loss. Although you would benefit from breast lift surgery, you arms require the most attention. Your would require a full brachioplasty (arm lift) based upon the photos, which requires an incision down the inner aspect of your arm from arm pit to elbow. These scars may be visible in short sleeves. Both the breast procedure and the brachioplasty can be performed simultaneously. This is dependent upon...
Is 65 too old to expect lasting results with breast lift, arm/thigh lift and tummy tuck?
Is 65 too old?
Mar 31, 2020
Age is not the primary consideration when it comes to breast enhancement and body contour procedures. The most important consideration is health status. If you are healthy, without significant medical conditions, a non-smoker and without . significant sun damage, you can expect very good and long lasting results. Based upon your list of desired procedures, I would list recommend a thorough examination by your physician. Explain to your physician your plan and goals. Consult with a Board...
Do I need an extended tummy tuck, circumferential tummy tuck or FDL tummy tuck with breast l
Tummy tuck with breast lift
Mar 31, 2020
Thank you for your inquiry. Your photographic views are somewhat limited, however it appears that an FDL tummy tuck is not warranted. Combination lipoabdominoplasty would certainly improve your torso contour with the liposuction extending circumferentially. The breast lift can be performed at the same time as the body procedures however this adds time to your procedure. Your health status should be optimized prior to any procedure. This is especially true of longer procedures. Based upon...
Is it true that I am too young for a pre-op blood test at 29?
Pre-Op blood work
Mar 27, 2020
Pre-operative evaluations are based upon your medical history and physical examination. If you have other medical conditions, laboratory tests are usually ordered. At 29 and without any significant medical history routine blood work may not be necessary. In my practice if you are undergoing general anesthesia we usually request a CBC complete blood count to evaluate both potential anemia and platelet count.
I am 5’ 3” and I weigh 207lbs. I’m wondering if I could qualify for mommy makeover?
Mommy makeover
Mar 27, 2020
I would strongly recommend you consider weight loss prior to any surgical intervention. Getting closer to your ideal body weight would make your recovery faster and the surgical results more successful. Remember mommy makeover procedures are not weight loss surgery, they are body contour procedures. You will lose very little weight from this surgery.
How long is the usual time to take off work after a mommy makeover?
Time off after a mommy makeover
Mar 27, 2020
The amount of time off required after this type of procedure is somewhat dependent upon what you do. If you have a "desk job", the usual minimal amount of time I recommend you plan for your recovery is 2 weeks. If your level of activity is higher and you are required to be more physically active this may increase to 4 weeks and even longer depending upon the extent pf the procedures and your overall health and physical condition. Being close to ideal body weight, improving your nutritional...
Am I a candidate for a BBL and tummy tuck after massive weight loss?
Surgery after weight loss
Mar 27, 2020
First, congratulations on your success. Your weight loss is truly remarkable. You are an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery. In most instances breast lift is part of the reduction procedure. This may be covered by insurance however you may want to call your insurance company regarding their requirements and guidelines.
Most of what you desire for the body contour procedures involves removal of excess and redundant skin. A circumferential abdominoplasty or body lift would...
Can you explain the difference between the consultation and the pre-op appointment and what
Consultation vs Pre-Op visit
Mar 12, 2020
I think this is a great question. I believe the consultation is an opportunity for the patient and surgeon to meet, get to know a little about each other and decide if this relationship is a good fit. I am a big believer in “gut feelings “. This is the time to honestly discuss your medical and surgical history. Ask about the options for your desired results. Does the surgeon listen to you? Are you comfortable with the responses to your questions? Does the surgeon explain what can and...
I'm 38. Would I be a candidate for Tummy tuck and BBL?
Tummy tuck and BBL
Mar 4, 2020
If you blood pressure is controlled, hypertension should not limit your ability to undergo surgical procedures. I would not perform the BBL and tummy tuck at the same time. I would probably perform the BBL first as some of the fat from your abdomen may be used for the BBL. Following a BBL you will not be able to lie on your back (pressure on backside) for a period of time to allow the fat to survive in the new location. After the BBL is healed I would then perform the tummy tuck...
Follow-up: Is CO2 an effective treatment for old acne scarring?
CO2 laser for acne scars
Mar 3, 2020
Acne scarring is a very difficult problem that may require multiple treatments and different modalities to obtain the best results. That being said, I have had significant success with the CO2 laser for acne scars. The treatment must be aggressive based upon the nature of the scars. This results in more prolonged downtime for your recovery. Also "ice pick" scars are much more difficult to improve due to the depth of the scar. Even with an aggressive CO2 laser treatment, more than one...
Am I a good candidate for a doughnut lift as I don't like the lollipop scar?
Best breast lift procedure
Mar 3, 2020
Based upon the photos provided, a circumareolar mastopexy or "donut lift" would not provide the result I believe you desire. The circumareolar lift will only provide a maximum of 2 cm (less than an inch) of lift. Some type of vertical scar must be added to obtain the best result. Fortunately, the vertical scar can heal very well when performed correctly.
Do I need a revision for extra skin? I’m 8 weeks post op and feel like this isn’t just swell
Way too early to consider revision
Mar 3, 2020
This is way too early in your post operative recovery to consider any type of revision. Although it is very difficult to be patient, there is some visible swelling present that will change. Also this early after surgery, revisional surgery would be limited due to swelling and scar tissue formation at the surgical site. I recommend your wait and discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
