Will the left drop to match the right side and how long does it usually take to drop?
Breast asymmetry after revision reconstruction
Mar 10, 2017
Mar 10, 2017
Sometimes healing from a surgical procedure can be as tedious as “watching the paint dry”. It is not uncommon to have mild asymmetry after a unilateral breast procedure or a procedure where more “work” was done on one side. Be patient and try not to pass judgement on your result for six months after surgery, because it can take that long (and sometimes longer) for the human body to heal and for asymmetries to even out. In the meantime, keep the line of communication with your plastic…
It is possible to do a full tummy tuck and have no drains?
Tummy tuck without drains
Mar 10, 2017
Mar 10, 2017
Yes, it is possible to do an abdominoplasty (full tummy tuck) without using drains. There are different ways of doing this procedure and some of these techniques do not make use of drains. Please consider visiting with at least two to three board certified plastic surgeons in your area to get a better understanding of the different procedures available to you and whether you would be a good candidate for a tummy tuck without drains.
Will using the sauna affect my breast fat transfer results?
Sauna use after breast augmentation with fat transfer
Mar 10, 2017
Mar 10, 2017
I recommend you ask your plastic surgeon as he/she will have their preferences. In my practice, I would ask you to refrain from using a sauna, steam room, bath, hot tub, pool, ocean or lake for three weeks after a breast augmentation with fat transfer. I wish you the best with your upcoming procedure!
Do fat transfer breast augmentation candidates need to have a certain BMI?
Fat transfer to the breast and BMI
Mar 10, 2017
Mar 10, 2017
Fat transfer, whether to the breast or to other areas, is dependent on the quality of the graft, the area to be grafted and the skill of the surgeon doing the grafting. In my practice, BMI does not determine whether you are a good candidate for fat transfer to the breasts. Your overall health, your understanding of the procedure and your compliance with pre and postoperative instructions are more likely to predict a successful outcome. I encourage you to visit with at least three board…
Fat transfer to breast with breast lift?
Breast lift with fat transfer
Mar 10, 2017
Mar 10, 2017
Thank you for your question and for the photos provided. I would recommend first a breast lift and then considering fat transfer to the breasts as a separate procedure for added volume and cleavage (if needed). It is quite possible the breast lift alone will restore the breast shape and “fullness” you desire. I encourage you to visit with two to three board certified plastic surgeons in your area to discuss your options and review before and after photographs.
Is it common to have numbness or tingling feeling in right hand after Breast reduction?
Numbness and tingling in the hand after breast reduction
Jun 2, 2015
Jun 2, 2015
Although it’s not common to have numbness and tingling in the hand after a breast reduction procedure, it is certainly possible. Tingling in the fingers of one hand may be caused by a stretch injury to your median nerve as a result of the position of your body during the procedure and the fact that you were in the same position for a long period of time. These are potential risks of having surgery which were hopefully explained to you before surgery. Symptoms should improve and you should…

may be a very good candidate for a medically necessary breast

discuss your concerns with your primary care
physician and to have your symptoms documented in your medical record. It is also important for your family physician to document the fact that you have completed your growth.

Constipation that won’t subside with normal remedies! Please help!
Constipation with pain medications
Jun 2, 2015
Jun 2, 2015
I am sorry to hear about the difficulties you are experiencing with your recovery! Constipation is a common side effect of narcotic pain medications. It sounds like you are taking the right steps to correct the problem. Drink plenty of water with your stool softeners and please contact your plastic surgeon’s office for additional advice in regard to suppositories and other over the counter and prescription remedies to ease your discomfort. Best of luck!

Why does weight matter?
Jun 2, 2015
Jun 2, 2015
Obesity increases the risk of complications of many cosmetic surgery procedures. I recommend you be within twenty pounds of your ideal weight. I also suggest you complete any desired weight loss prior to surgery. Reducing your weight will optimize the result of your surgery, reduce your risks of complications, and may affect what surgery you choose. Although patients with excess weight can benefit from an abdominoplasty procedure (aka tummy tuck) because it may give them the confidence boost…
What type of procedure would work best to improve the appearance of my abdomen?
Procedures for abdominal contouring
Jun 2, 2015
Jun 2, 2015
Thank you for your question and for providing photographs. Rest assured, you have many options available to you to improve the appearance of your abdomen. However, without a formal consultation and exam, it’s not possible to give you a tailored plan to suit your needs and desires. I recommend you research board certified plastic surgeons in your area who are well known for body contouring procedures. Plan on visiting with at least three plastic surgeons to learn about all of your…

Should a breast lift procedure be added to a tummy tuck and breast augmentation with fat transfer?
Apr 6, 2015
Apr 6, 2015
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, without a personal consultation and a physical exam it’s not possible to give you detailed advice. Fat transfer to the breasts, when done by an experienced surgeon, can sculpt your breasts to a more natural and proportionate shape by adding volume to areas where volume is needed. Fat transfer alone can provide you with a small degree of lift as well, but without an exam I am unable to tell you whether this will be enough for you to achieve…
