Is suntanning harmful to your incision scars after BA?
Tanning after surgery
May 9, 2016
Thank you for your question.  In general, tanning isn't a great idea because of how unhealthy it is for your skin.  Yes, having a tan is nice in the short term but it also leads to higher rates of skin cancer as well as dry, leathery skin down the road.However, if you have to go tanning, please be sure to cover your incisions.  For the next few months the skin where your incisions are is going to be much more sensitive to the sun/tanning booths.  If they are exposed to the sun, the inc...
BA 4 days post op , are my implants to high?
Postop from breast augmentation
May 9, 2016
Thank you for your question- this is a very common concern immediately after a breast augmentation.  They are sitting high and there is a definite difference in the amount of swelling.  The good news is that this is ok.  The swelling will resolve over time (it generally takes a week or two) and the implants will slowly start to drop.  This happens because your tissues gradually stretch and become accustomed to having the implants there.I don't think you need to be worried about this, but if ...
How much and how long the recovery?
Breast augmentation revision
May 9, 2016
Thank you for your question and I'm sorry that you're unhappy with your results.  From your pictures I can definitely see what your concerns are.  Without performing a physical exam it's difficult to tell if you have a capsular contracture or some other cause of the asymmetry.  A revision may be partly covered by your initial surgeon, especially if you have a capsular contracture.  Removal and replacement of the implants may also be needed in order to get the more natural, symmetric look you...
Will breast aug make me look fatter 5'4 150 pounds
Will a breast augmentation make you look fatter
May 9, 2016
Thank you for your question.  This is a relatively common concern- women would like to undergo a breast augmentation but they're worried that this will make it look like they've gained weight.  And in my experience, this is usually not the case.  In order to prevent this from happening, as well as to ensure that you get the results you're looking for, it is important to make sure that you and your surgeon choose the right implant.Choosing the right implant can be very stressful
for some pa...
When will the chest tightness go away?
Tightness after breast augmentation
May 9, 2016
Thank you for your question and congrats on your surgery!  The hardest part of the recovery is over.  Now it's just waiting for your tissues to stretch a little and heal.  It is pretty common to have different rates of healing or different sensations on your right vs. left side after a breast augmentation.  So I'd expect the tightness in your left breast to slowly resolve over the next few weeks and the implant itself should also settle down a bit to match your right side better.Give it a l...
Can I have surgery while on prednisone? I want to have full back and side Lipo, a Tummy tuck and a BBL
Surgery on prednisone
May 9, 2016
Thank you for your question.  In general, plastic surgeons are hesitant to perform surgery on people who are taking high dose steroids because it can inhibit wound healing, and the last thing we want to have happen is to have a wound not heal.However, some recent studies showed that prednisone dosing less than 40mg/day doesn't have a dramatic effect on healing.  So just based on this, it is very possible to have the surgeries that you're looking for.Also, Vitamin A has been shown to c...
Is this Normal? Is this fixable? Will it get better?
Contour issues after BBL
May 9, 2016
Thank you for your question and I can definitely see the area that's bothering you.  When we perform liposuction, we're removing the fat cells from that area.  And when you gain weight, since there's no fat cells to fill up with fat, the weight is gained in other areas.  This means that the area just about your pubic area will gain weight faster than your belly will.There are a couple solutions to this.  Losing weight might help because it would help to flatten that area out and would mak...
Hernia and tummy tuck
Hernia and tummy tuck
May 9, 2016
Thank you for your question.  And the good news is yes, a plastic surgeon should be able to repair your hernias and perform a tummy tuck at the same time.  And the hernias would be covered under your insurance.  Hernia repair and tummy tucks are two procedures that often go hand in hand.  With the incision for the tummy tuck you are able to see the hernia perfectly, which will ensure that you have a strong, effective repair.Good luck!Dr. Seth
Tummy Tuck verses FDL Tummy Tuck?
Fleur de Lis tummy tuck
May 9, 2016
Thank you for your question and congratulations on your weight loss.  Without doing a physical exam it is difficult to say with 100% confidence what would be the best option for you, but based on your pictures it looks like you still have some laxity in your skin in both vertical and horizontal dimensions.  This can sometimes be remedied with a fleur de lis tummy tuck.  The fleur de lis procedure tightens in the vertical dimension by taking out a horizontally oriented piece of skin, but it...
BA transaxillary submuscular pocket or swelling?
Postop asymmetry
May 5, 2016
Thank you for your question.  It is early in your healing process so based on your pictures it looks like this could be either a swelling difference, a pocket difference, or possibly a bit of both.If it is a pocket problem, this can likely be resolved without any surgeries- massaging the implant downwards and inwards will help to stretch this area and improve the symmetry.  But before you start this, be sure to ask your surgeon about it to make sure that he/she can direct you in the proper w...
Do I have capsular contracture?
Capsular contracture?
May 5, 2016
Thank you for your question.  Without doing a physical exam it's going to be difficult to say with 100% certainty whether or not you have a capsular contracture.  But based on the pictures, it looks like your left breast is slightly higher.  If this breast is also becoming firmer, this is a sign of a capsular contracture.  If it is a capsular contracture, this may continue to get firmer, or it may stop and remain as it is.  Massage can sometimes help with these, but massage isn't reco...
Questions on if you can go tanning inside after breast augmentation 2 months post op?
Postoperative tanning
May 5, 2016
Thank you for your question.  I'll give you the general doctor answer first- tanning is never a great idea and it increases the risk of melanoma and multiple other skin cancers.  It also causes premature aging of the skin.After a surgery, the main concern is healing.  Making sure that the incision heals well so it's well hidden is very important.  Newly healing incisions (within the first 2-3 months) are very sensitive to UV rays.  The rays can cause the incisions to become darkened, and ...
3 weeks post op. 260cc implants over muscle, uplift and enlargement. Worried about bleeding. Any sugge
Postoperative wound care
May 5, 2016
Thank you for your question.  An augmentation combined with a lift often takes a little longer to heal than just an augmentation or just a lift due to the pressure of the implant on the tightened skin.  This can result in a slight amount of leakage from the incision as it heals.Based on your pictures, it looks like you're healing slowly, but you're healing.  It doesn't look like there's any signs of infection or anything else of concern.  The yellow fluid is serum that your body is using to ...
What's going on with my left breast after augmentation?
Postop asymmetry
May 5, 2016
Thank you for your question. Based on your pictures it looks like your left sided implant has settled/dropped a little more than your right side.  Without doing a physical exam it is difficult to tell exactly how significant the asymmetries are or if they will improve with a little more time. But it isn't uncommon to
have some slight asymmetries as you go through the healing process, especially
if there were asymmetries before your surgery.
However, I would be sure to schedule an ...
Can I get a bbl if I have braces ?
Braces and a BBL
Apr 15, 2016
Thank you for your question. I don't think that having braces would get in the way of you having a procedure done, so I think you should go ahead and go full metal mouth. Congratulations on your transformation, and good luck!Dr. Seth
