I want implants, is a lift needed or will I get a bit of lift or volume with only implants? (p
Breast Lift with Implants
Jul 26, 2018
Thank you for your question and pictures. From your pictures, I feel that you would benefit from a breast lift with implants. A breast lift will remove the loose skin, and lift the nipple and breast tissue, so that your breast is perkier. The implant will give you more fullness and better proportion. 
Is it true that silicone implants look smaller than saline? Replacing 275cc Mentor mod saline
Breast Implant Size
Feb 28, 2018
Thanks for your question. The volume of a silicone implant includes the shell and the fill so a 300cc implant would be a total volume of 300cc. A saline implant only considers the size of the fill so a 300 cc saline implant would have a total volume of 300cc plus 30cc for the shell.The Ideal Breast Implant Volume includes the shell, so again a 300cc implant would be 300cc. Another factor is the profile of your current implants. Both base diameter and projection need to be assessed.As you a...
Should I get lipo now or wait until I have children?
Liposuction Before Pregnancy
Jan 22, 2018
Thanks for your question. Liposuction is a safe procedure to perform and is fine to do before having kids. Liposuction permanently removes fat cells and shapes your abdomen. If you maintain your weight, you will maintain your shape. Pregnancy can change your shape as it stretches out your skin and alters your tummy muscles. While I would suggest you wait to have a tummy tuck until after kids, liposuction now is fine to do.
Is arm liposuction good if you only have a small amount of fat to remove?
Arm Liposuction
Jan 9, 2018
Thanks for your question regarding arm liposuction.  It depends not only on the amount of fat that you have but your skin tone as well. If you have good skin tone and a small amount of fat, then liposuction of your arms should give you a nice result.
Which option is best for me, breast lift with or without implants?
Breast Surgery After Weight loss
Jan 9, 2018
Thank you for your question and pictures. Congratulations on your weight loss. The answer really depends on what your final goal is. If you want to remove the loose skin, then a breast lift would be a good option for you. You will be smaller, since as you stated, your breasts are mostly skin. If you want more fullness above the nipple and more cleavage, then either a breast augmentation or a breast augmentation with a lift would would. If you select a small implant, then you will probably...
Can I get some skin removed and lipo before bypass surgery?
Cosmetic Surgery After Weight Loss
Jan 6, 2018
Thank you for your Question and pictures. Congratulations on you weight loss. While you are certainly a good candidate for liposuction, tummy tuck and arm lift, I think you should wait until after your bypass. If you have the procedures now and then lose a significant amount of weight afterwards, you will probably have to have all of the procedures redone as you will have more excess skin. Get to the weight you can comfortably maintain, then have the procedures done. You should have very g...
A little over 3 months post-op from TT with MR and no lipo. Doctor says this is my final resul
Tummy Tuck Post Op
Dec 9, 2017
Thanks for your question and pictures. You are still healing. I tell my patients to wait about 6 months for a final result. I see your areas of concerns on your pictures. Did you have your diastasis recti repaired or liposuction with the procedure? Give it a few more months and then express your concerns to your doctor. You can certainly get a second opinion to see your options as well.
Diastasis recti. Is the only way to fix it with a tummy tuck?
Tummy Tuck After Kids
Dec 9, 2017
Thanks for your questions and pictures. The diastasis you have is from the pregnancies. The abdominal muscles have a band connecting them. With pregnancy that band stretches and creates a space between the 2 abdominal muscles. So it's not that your muscles are not in good shape, they are in the wrong position. One of the components in a tummy tuck is to bring the two muscles back together with permanent sutures. This will make your tummy flatter. I have had patients have an improvement in ...
Mini or full tummy tuck?
Mini Tummy Tuck or Full Tummy Tuck
Nov 1, 2017
Thank you for your question and pictures. In my practice, a mini tummy tuck includes liposuction of the abdomen, tightening the abdominal muscles below the belly button, and removing loose skin below the belly button.A full tummy tuck includes liposuction of the abdomen, repair of the abdominal muscle separation from the breast bone to the pubic bone, sculpting of the waistline, removal of loose skin, and repositioning the belly button.While it is best to have a consultation and discuss your...
Are my breasts a bad candidate for an augmentation?
Breast Augmentation
Oct 23, 2017
Thank you for your question and picture. I think you are a good candidate for breast augmentation. It will give you more fullness, better shape and help with the size difference between your breasts. You are correct that you have a wide breast bone and that the implants will not sit together as much as if you had a narrower breast bone, but you will still have more cleavage and a better shape.
I’m 5’4 and steady at 185. I’m 24 years old with two kids. Wondering if I am now a better cand
Tummy Tuck Procedure
Oct 10, 2017
Thanks for your question and pictures. Based on your photographs, I think you would be a great candidate for a tummy tuck. Liposuction would sculpt your waistline, while the abdominoplasty will flatten your abdomen, remove excess skin, and reposition your belly button. Make sure when you get a price for your tummy tuck that it includes fees for anesthesia, the surgeon and facility fees.
Liposuction on loose skin, is it a possibility?
Liposuction of the Abdomen
Sep 27, 2017
Thank you for your question and picture. Based on your picture, I feel that liposuction would improve your contour, but you will still have the excess skin. If you want the excess skin removed as well you should consider a tummy tuck.
Can you have more than 1 procedure at the same time? Breast lift, reduc., lipo., & aug., doubl
Mommy Makeover Procedures.
Sep 16, 2017
Thank you for your question. Depending on what procedures you want to have, it is possible to perform some at the same time. However, some procedures are more involved and may need to be performed separately, for patient safety. It is best to discuss what procedures you want to have with your plastic surgeon to see what is the best plan for your to have the minimal amount of recovery while maintaining maximal patient safety.
When should I seek consultations for my procedure? Is it too early?
Breast Augmentation Consult
Aug 22, 2017
Thank you for your question. It is certainly a good time to get a consultation. That will give you plenty of time to interview several Plastic Surgeons and see whom you feel most comfortable with.
Am unhappy with my breast augmentation results what can I do? I'm 6 months post op.
Uneven Breasts After Breast Augmentation
Aug 22, 2017
Thank you for your question and pictures. Based on your pictures, I think that you may have developed a breast capsular contraction on the left side that is causing the asymmetry. It is best to contact your original surgeon with your concerns. If you are still unhappy, you can certainly get a consult with another Plastic Surgeon to see what options you have.
