Question

Answer Snippet
Are my wish results plausible with what I'm starting out with?
Can be
Jun 1, 2017
Cleavage is usually dependent on anatomy and surgical technique. Your anatomy suggests that cleavage is potentially achievable. Part of the limitations are because of where your muscle insertion is on the sternum which can't be seen on the photo and partially it is dependent on the surgical technique and how the surgeon treats the muscles.
The caution in trying to hard to get cleavage is the risk of developing symmastia. You can look up symmastia on this site.
Good luck

Muscle repair
May 18, 2017
Post operative results are difficult at 1 month.
Your results are also dependent on your starting point.
I would suggest resubmitting this question with pre-operative photos.
I had liposuction 2 months ago, Now I have scar tissue in my leg, this is painful and hard. How can
scarring after lipo
May 18, 2017
First make sure your surgeons is aware of how concerned you are about the problem, even insist that he look at it, if he hasn't
Patient's usually don't like hearing "just give it time it will get better", even when it is true. 2 months is fairly early but there are treatments that may help. Some treatments include therapy with ultra sound, deep massage and a home program of heat and massage. Be sure and keep your surgeon informed of what you are doing.
My Dr says wear underwire bra right against the incision beneath my breast. Shouldn't I just wear a
Post-op Instructions
May 18, 2017
Physicians will usually explain why they have instructed a patient to do something, if the patient asks. A call to his nurse to get the inquiry started would be best.
Most surgeons give postop instructions that have worked for them and their patients, but they should answer questions when they arise.
Good luck
I'm 5'2 220lbs how much weight should I lose to be a good candidate for lipo and tummy tuck?
There are 2 answers
Apr 11, 2017
The more recent recommendation for weight affects on surgical risks are based on a patient's BMI or body mass index. Your BMI, 5' 2" and 220 pounds, is 40. A BMI of 30 or below would give a patient a near normal surgical risk. A BMI of 35 doubles nearly all a patient's risks, and a BMI of 40 give a patient 4 times the normal surgical risk of a BMI of 30. To get your BMI down to 35 you would need to lose 30 pounds, down to 190; and, you would need...
Smoking before and after tummy tuck?
Reduce complications
Apr 11, 2017
All types of smoking, including marijuana and vapor products are pulmonary and lung irritants that significantly affect your anesthetic risks. Many types of smoke affect surgical risks also. You have stopped early enough for you May surgery.
No physician is going to tell you it is ever OK to resume smoking until you appear to be completely healed. As for marijuana that depends upon which state you live in.
Do I need a breast lift or could I do a nipple lift with implants?
Can't always avoid scars
Apr 11, 2017
Women usually avoid breast lifts because of the scars on the breasts. With the appearance of your breast shape and nipple position you are going to need a breast lift. Most patients choose an implant if they wish a size increase or additional upper fullness that cannot be created by a breast lift alone.
This is a difficult procedure and you should look for a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a diplomat of The American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Am I a good candidate for lipo and BBL someone told me I need a tummy tuck?
It's about what you want
Apr 11, 2017
I agree you are a candidate for liposuction and fat transfer BBL. You will get good results from those procedures.
Abdominoplasty is a significantly bigger procedure and should be done if the excess skin bothers you or if you have significant muscle weakness. Also discuss with your surgeon any change in risks when doing the abdominal suction at the same time as the abdominoplasty.
Good luck with your surgery
Determining by the picture, do I need a full tummy tuck or a mini tummy tuck?
Tummy tuck?
Jan 24, 2017
From a skin only perspective, either will likely give you and improvement. Your pictures do suggest some diastasis, separation of the muscles that could be adding to the bulge you show. If you wish the muscle layer tightened, particularly in the upper abdomen, that would best be done with a full tummy tuck.
Will this wound from my spitting stitches close up and heal normally? How long will it take?
Normal healing
Jan 19, 2017
You didn't mention whether you had an implant or not. Assuming you did not have an implant normal healing will occur over another 8 weeks or so. The wound appears almost completely granulated. You will soon notice the wound will appear to shrink and become covered with new skin cells. When it is healed it will be pink and a little firm, but will improve over a year or so. Barring other factors, these heal reasonably well and only a few will bother a patient...
Do I have tuberous breasts? If not, could I realistically achieve breasts like the ones in the photo
Nipple vs Upper Fullness
Jan 19, 2017
Everyone has mentioned constricted beasts, this means the distance from the nipple to the fold of the breast is short. When the implant stretches the breast skin, there is less skin under the nipple to stretch. This will leave the nipple a little lower on the breast mound unless an adjustment is made to the lower part and fold of the breast. But in adjusting the pocket to put the nipple higher on the mound the implant must be lower and that will give you...
Why do I have a crease below my belly button after my tummy tuck?
Very early
Jan 16, 2017
I would not be concerned yet. Early results very a great deal. Swelling and fluid steadily increase over the first few days and take weeks to months to be absorbed. The area just above the incision will swell more and take longer to go away that other areas.

If you had a large amount of fatty tissue in the upper abdomen, this fullness may be from that area. Abdominoplasties are not expected to treat this fullness. Without your preop pictures it is difficult to...

What size cup will I be after 465 cc?
No real standards
Jan 16, 2017
Your question about cup size is one of the most common we are asked.

If you have already seen a plastic surgeon and that was the implant selected...and he couldn't answer your question, get the bra you want to wear and ask to try the implant with that bra and see how it fills the cup. If you haven't seen a surgeon yet, it is still a viable idea to take a bra with you when you are sized.

As others have mentioned implants that are the same volume can be different in width,...

Questions about the upper Tummy, can't do Lipo? Thank you
Options
Jan 12, 2017
I see you have already had a number of good opinions.

I would only add 2 thoughts. First, Liposuction at the same time as abdominoplasty is an option for many patients, patient selection is important. Combining the procedures does requires understanding and acceptance of the increased risks.

Secondly, a number of patients seeking abdominoplasty are candidates for pre-op Coolsculpting to deal with the fat non-surgically before the abdominoplasy.

Breast Augmentation
Timing is the issure
Jan 10, 2017
Regardless of how far out you are, I would recommend that you call your surgeon. If you are doing too much too soon you need to find out your restrictions. If you are several weeks/months out you should see if he wishes to see you.

As mentioned different surgeons have different restrictions. I tell my patients, 10 pounds for 10 days, 20 pounds for 4 weeks. Also, if it hurts don't do it, avoid direct trauma and "bouncing" for 6 weeks. After their...
