If I decide to have another baby will it ruin the look of my breast augmentation?
Changes of a breast augmentation after pregnancy
Jul 29, 2022
Not necessarily and it often results in a more natural look. Many patients have a child after a breast augmentation and the shape of the breast afterwards will depend upon how much the breast changes with pregnancy and weight gain and how long nursing occurred. Pregnancy and nursing typically enlarges the breast and stretch the skin which may create stretch marks and decrease the elasticity of the skin. The breast tissue itself often atrophies (shrinks) to a smaller volume after pregnancy...
4 years post op - can feel implant towards lower part of the breast - can almost pop it in and out (sort
Implant shell palpability
Jul 29, 2022
What you describe is common which is the implant shell that could be folding on itself with time. The upper part of the breast implant is typically covered by the pectoral muscle and upper pole breast tissue compared to the lower pole where the implant which is mostly covered with breast tissue or nearby chest skin that is now part of the breast. The tissue is thinner here which can also thin even more with time making the implant more palpable. This is especially true near the old breast...
Should I have a Brow Lift or Bleph for my sagging eyelids?
Browlift vs. eyelid lift
Mar 7, 2018
Hello Molly HN, If you want a higher crease and excess skin removed, you might consider "Westernization" of the upper lid where the crease fold can be relocated with sutures and excess skin can be removed if you want to see more eyelid skin. Removing too much skin in Asians may result in an unnatural ethnic look. You have nice folds now, though slightly asymmetrical, and if you lift your brows and like the look of the upper eyelids, you might consider altering the brow height...
Can swelling hide supratip break?
Supratip break
Mar 7, 2018
Yes, swelling tends to be more evident towards the tip of the nose after rhinoplasty. A supratip break is appreciated at the time of the surgery when the skin is redraped. However, post operatively the break is obscured with the swelling and may take 6-12 months to appreciate the break. However, if the tip falls and looses its projection, then the break may not be apparent since the bridge is flatter or the supratip area might even looked too pronounced as in a...
Why do the sides of my nose tip pop out after a tip rhinoplasty?
Bulbous and pinched tip
Mar 7, 2018
The nasal tip shape is dependent upon the skin thickness, underlying fibrofatty tissue, and the cartilage that supports the tip. The shape and amount of the lower alar cartilage influences the width of the tip (bulbous, boxy, pinched tip) and the balance between shape and breathing is important. The width of the tip can be controlled by excising excess, repositioning, suturing the cartilage, and sometimes grafting to alter the width of the tip in relationship to the...
Is it possible to change the shape and location of the double eyelid crease for a 19 year old male?
Double Eyelid Surgery
Mar 7, 2018
The answer is "yes". Asymmetry of the upper lids is common and it is possible to change one or both eyelid crease levels. We often do "Westernization" or double eyelid surgery particularly in the Asian (or non-Asian) patient who desire a fold where one is absent. Sutures are used to anchor the lid crease at the desired level. It can be used to change the level of the folds of both eyes if desired. Sometimes excess skin is also removed if more eyelid show is desired. ...
I am almost 3 months post BA and when I lay down my implants go into my armpits. Is this normal?
I am almost 3 months post BA and when I lay down my implants go into my armpits. Is this normal?
Oct 15, 2017
Thank you for submitting your question. Some movement, lateralization, and increased distance between the breast implants is a common occurrence after breast augmentation. Different positions will change the look. Once the implant is placed under the breast tissue or deeper under the pectoralis muscle, a capsule (scar tissue) will form around the implant. This takes several months to form. If the capsule is sufficiently thick, then the implant will move around just a...
What can I do about my droopy eye as a result of Botox on my forehead? My brows have also dropped making
Droopy eyelids after Botox injections
Oct 14, 2017
Thank you for submitting your question and I'm sorry to hear about one of the known side effects of Botox injections. Botox injections between the eyebrows treat the hyperactive corrugator muscle that cause the "eleven" lines and procerus muscles that cause the horizontal crease. Sometimes the Botox drifts too deep or bleeding carries the Botox molecules away from the intended site of action and into the levator muscle which acts as the "window shade" of the eyelid...
Would it make a difference in medial cleavage to choose high profile implants vs. ultra high profile impl
Would it make a difference in medical cleavage to choose high profile implants vs. ultra high profile implants?
Oct 14, 2017
Thank you for submitting your question. Cleavage, projection, upper pole fullness, and side breast are important in determining the shape of the breasts. Many measurements are taken on the breast including the base width of your breast and distance between the nipples. Implants are generally centered under the nipple-areolar complex and wider implants create more cleavage and side breast. I determine the maximum width of an implant that I can fit in the breast (usually under...
