Answer Snippet
I would like a tummy tuck. What do you suggest?
Tummy Tuck Plus size
Aug 2, 2018
I think that you could be a candidate for a tummy tuck even at this weight etc. You have to be honest with yourself however and determined if you’re comfortable at this size. If this is the weight that you essentially are and have been for the last five or 10 years then I have no problem being aggressive and helping you with these issues. My plus size patients have been some of my happiest overall. You certainly need to make sure your health is optimal as you are at a...
Need a revision, is a lollipop lift enough? 7 months post-op
Problems with Benelli
Aug 2, 2018
Yes it looks like you’re probably not gonna get the results you were hoping for. This is a very difficult defect to correct. Unfortunately, I do feel that you will probably need a revision. Make sure that your doctor is familiar with this defect and that he is a board-certified plastic surgeon. I don’t know that a vertical approach is the answer completely even though I think that is probably going to be required in your situation. It’s more of the internal worki...
What procedure would I need to lift the skin below my eyebrows?
Beautiful Eyes
Aug 2, 2018
You actually have beautiful eyes with a nice round almond shape. Yes there does appear to be a little excess skin in your upper eyelids however this may be related to fluid shifts in your body etc. I would opt for non-surgical intervention at this point and concentrate on the nice shape and size of your eyes and facial features. A little Botox around your brow will raise it just a little bit and maybe that will satisfy your needs at this point. They’ll be plenty of time for surgery as you a...
Can I have a brow/forehead lift at 22?
Brow issues
Aug 2, 2018
I have done brow surgery on people as young as you however it’s very unusual. I would try other areas or considerations initially. If the muscle activity in your brow is causing your headaches which is possible then Botox may give you some relief and or insight. I do not think that having your eyebrows really high is aesthetically ideal even though that commonly is the thought process. The most beautiful models in the world have a nice low brow position which is c...
Do I need a belly button revision? I’m 8 weeks post op. My belly button scar is super obvious. (Photo
BB scar
Jul 29, 2018
Have a discussion with your PS about what an ideal B.B. is to you. I prefer a slit like one but you are correct in the obvious scar takes away from the results. Scars are still obvious at 8 weeks so be patient. Your surgeon may need to shorten the stalk which will pull the scar down and out of view.
Subpectoral to Subglandular to Help Double Bubble?
Dual Plane
Jul 25, 2018
I know you are concerned and hopefully this will improve with time. A partial submuscalar implant is the key to most larger augmentation. Do not ever do heavy pectorals work in the gym as this will worsen the issue. Wait at least 6 months than reevaluate the animation issues, fold position, and even implant size to determine if your results are reasonable.
Breast augmentation with tubular breasts: how do they look and will they drop to be nicely shaped bre
Tubular Breasts
Jul 25, 2018
This is certainly a tough problem for patients and Plastic surgeons to fix. Perfection is usually not the goal but sometimes we can get pretty close. It’s difficult to say without knowing what your surgeon did in regards to internal tissue scoring, etc, but at this point, you look about right. Be patient, and stay off social media while in recovery. You’ll drive yourself crazy and will get mixed opinions which you don’t need at this point. Hang in there.
I want new implants as the ones I have are too firm, should I get another surgery replacing them? Whi
Shaped Implant Issues
Jul 25, 2018
When the shaped texted implant first appeared in the US, many of us believed the hype and used them often. We have come to learn that they are a bit to firm and unnatural as well. Other problems we see is that they can flip over and lead to major distortions. Not to mention potential problems with textured implants and ALCL. Smooth round gels are the best!
8 weeks post op and I have developed lower abdominal bulge. Is this normal?
Seroma headache
Jul 25, 2018
Seroma‘s or fluid collections are very common after a tummy tuck, even after eight weeks. You may need to have your plastic surgeon drain this to hasten the process. If you are out and about you need to wear tight compression garments to help this eradicate on its own which it will. The fact that your lower abdomen is still numb makes it feel more swollen as well. It takes quite a while to feel like you are at your best with this procedure but this will still be one of your f...
Since CoolSculpting Freezes Fat to Kill It, Why Not Just Repeatedly Apply Ice Bags?
Skinny Eskimos?
Aug 7, 2017
If it sounds to good to be true......Many of us old school Plastic Surgeons are hesitant concerning external energy devices hot or cold. These come and go and patients eventually realize it takes a combination of excercise, good eating habits, and understanding ones genetics. Limited liposuction by whatever means is tried and predictable if performed by a board certified Plastic Surgeon. If freezing was the answer, those who live in those climates would be thin
Do I need a lift along with implants? 36A, 5.6", 140pds and deflated.
Lift Alone?
Aug 6, 2017
A consult is the obvious answer and make sure it's a board certified plastic surgeon with experience. Many factors need to be considered including your skin quality, future pregnancies, chest wall characteristics and cost. A moderate/large implant partially submuscular will correct most of your issues really but the areola will be stretched. If you desire a smaller increase in size, a vertical lift may be better.
Will a crescent lift or donut lift be sufficient if I'm not looking for perky?
Donuts are for Eating
Aug 6, 2017
After years of trying to make a limited mastopexy work, most of us have come to the realization that it rarely is as effective as we'd like and often times leaves an ugly wide scar. I would either opt for the implants alone or go vertical. Implants alone will be amazing in a partial submuscular position even though you will still have ptosis. If the vertical is done well, the result should be spectacular and the scars minimal. Can't say I've ever had a patient who complained...

Extended Brachiplasty
Aug 6, 2017
You are to be congratulated on your weight loss and lifestyle changes. Keep it up. Loose skin in my opinion like yours needs to be surgically removed. Anything less may compromise your ability to have skin removal later. The procedure you described will not effect the skin below that on your lateral breast/chest unfortunately. I often will include that in a brachioplasty but in most offices that's an extra charge. Make sure you discuss this with your doctor.
Alloderm left behind after extenders removed due to chronic inflammation
Radiation/Alloderm
Aug 6, 2017
Radiation is the real culprit here even though I would have taken out the majority of the Alloderm as well if not all. Alloderm has to incorporate and become part of your native tissue, which is compromised by any number of factors including radiation. I would recommend against pain management and work with PT and excercise. You will be a candidate for reconstruction again if your cancer remains stable. Hang in there☺️
Can You Use Decongestants Before Surgery?
Beware of the D
Aug 4, 2017
Any medication with pseudifed in it could have detrimental effects on blood supply and healing with a MM. This medication causes vasoconstriction which slows blood flow to tissues that are tight or stretched as in TT and mastopexy. I've seen this in several patients that thought it wasn't important to mention pre-op and ended up with tissue loss, etc
