Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Can any one please explain benefits/disadvantages to this internal bra method?
Internal Bra Suture Surgical Technique is used to Customize the Implant Pocket to the Specific Diameter of the Implant Chosen
Mar 1, 2019
Internal Bra Suture
Surgical Technique is used to Customize the Implant Pocket to the Specific
Diameter of the Implant Chosen for a Natural Breast Shape with Projection and
Cleavage
I create an
underwire bra conformation with sutures along the natural lateral breast fold
and the inframammary fold. Imagine a tailor creating a Dolce and
Gabbana-type corset design along the outer breast and long the normal under
fold of the breast. This will hold the chosen implant on the top...
I want a mommy makeover to fix my tummy and breasts, would I need implants and a lift?
You are an excellent candidate for breast augmentation, breast lift, full abdominoplasty and liposuction of hips and flanks
Mar 1, 2019
You have succeeded in losing and maintaining a healthy weight which is half the battle. The remainder remains in the hands of the most qualified plastic surgeon of your choice. I feel you are an excellent candidate for breast augmentation, breast lift, full abdominoplasty and liposuction of hips and flanks if you are in good health and are also a good candidate for general anesthesia. I have extensive experience and if you would desire a consultation,...
Full back lipo or back lift?
Liposuction, Laser Liposuction (Smartlipo) is a good option, may need >1 session
Oct 21, 2016
I would advise laser-assisted liposuction, also termed Smartlipo as this can be used to target the fat and also tighten the skin, especially in the areas of the multiple folds of the lateral and posterior back.

In my 28 years of experience in plastic surgery and 6 year experience with laser-assisted lipoplasty, I have found that if I combine skin tightening laser settings, as well as the settings to target destruction of the fat cells, I can get good results, especially in the back...

I'm confused if I should get blepharoplasty or filler?
You may be a good candidate and happy with a lower blepharoplasty-I would recommend a transconjunctival approach
Mar 16, 2015
You may be a good candidate and happy with a lower blepharoplasty-I would recommend a transconjunctival approach, which is an approach that uses no external scar. It is not unusual, the hereditary "bags" that you describe and appear to be present on the photos. It is hard to judge just from the photos.I would love to have a look at your cheeks and the projection of your cheek bones.If you have truly the "bags" or excessive fat protrusions of the lower eyelid--associated...
Suggestions about choosing cohesive, profile and texture in Mentor and Allergan?
You have the potential for a great result from Allergan Natrelle cohesive silicone gel breast implants
Mar 7, 2015
You have the potential for a great result from Allergan Natrelle cohesive silicone gel breast implants.In my surgical experience, patients with your characteristics, are good candidates for silicone gel implants placed under the pectorals major muscle. To be certain, however of the validity of any surgical decision, a complete consultation, exam and breast measurements are necessary, so my statements may need modification, after this occurs.The Allergan Natrelle (Style 15) round,...
Revision options? Am I too unrealistic to want "Barbie" boobs?
There is the potential for a great result from Breast Implant Revision w/ Realistic Expectation & Meticulous Surgical Planning
Mar 1, 2015
I think you have the potential for a great result from Breast Implant Revision w/ Realistic Expectation & Meticulous Surgical Planning.I have reviewed your photos. The best decisions are made from a thorough physical exam and breast measurements. This would be necessary before making a definitive surgical plan. Also, pictures of breasts that you "dream of" would be helpful in order to determine if your "goals" are realistic and if, as a surgeon, a surgical plan can be...
Is it possible to correct constricted breasts without changing the nipple?
Constricted Breasts-release breast tissue, reposition of the IMF, release of herniated NA tissue & silicone gel breast implants
Feb 28, 2015
Constricted Breasts-recommend release breast tissue, reposition of the IMF, release of herniated NA tissue and silicone gel breast implantsI have had extensive experience with constricted breasts and revisional breast surgeries involving contracted breasts and capsular contractures of breast implants the present similar anatomical dilemmas as the constricted breast deformity. From your photos, not only do you have constricted breast, but you also have nipple/areola that are laterally...
Am I a good candidate for a full tummy tuck?
Full abdominoplasty may be a good option-you may need another consultation-the exam is imperative to discuss choices
Feb 26, 2015
Full abdominoplasty may be a good option-you may need another consultation-the exam is imperative to discuss choicesI have reviewed your photos and solely from the photos, it appears that you have a lot of excess skin. I do not have a side view to see if there is an apron of skin, but it is appears minimal from the photo where you are bending forward. You do not appear to have a lot (if any) excess fat. Therefore, liposuction may not be of benefit, as the major...
Blepharoplasty: To pinch or not to pinch?
Eyelid surgery-lower lid puffiness, dark color lower lid, some skin excess upper lid, more cheek fullness would help final look
Feb 25, 2015
Eyelid surgery-lower lid puffiness, dark color lower lid, some skin excess upper lid, more cheek fullness would help final lookI appreciate your comments. I am basing my answer on your comments and also your photos, but I highly recommend a full plastic surgery consultation. Based on the above data, I would recommend you have a lower eyelid transconjunctival approach--contouring the fat pads so there is a normal and natural contour and not the puffy appearance that currently...
Can you give me some advice on sizing for a breast augmentation on small frame?
Yes! Breast augmentation can be tailored to your frame--communication of your desired size to your surgeon is key
Feb 24, 2015
Breast augmentation can be tailored to your frame--communication of your desired size to your chosen surgeon is key.I think that communication is key at the time of your consultation with a plastic surgeon.I perform a thorough history, which means we discuss your desires, the"health" of your breasts and any changes that may have occurred, as life proceeds-puberty changes, weight changes, pregnancy changes and so forth. It is good for you to perhaps bring some photos of breast that look like...
Is smart lipo a good idea for upper inner thighs?
Smartlipo (laser-assisted liposuction) is a definite option for contouring of the upper thighs in my experience
Feb 24, 2015
Smartlipo (laser-assisted liposuction using 1440 nm wavelength) is good for upper thighs in my experience.I feel it is a good choice and a reasonable option for you.The Smartlipo laser, with my technique, utilizes heat to melt the fat and also skin tightening can be performed at the same time. Since the fat is emulsified, it permits me to then use a small cannula to harvest the fat by suction techniques-after the laser liposuction step is completed. The inner thigh is a...
I'm 28 yrs old. What are my options for upper eyelid skin?
You are a good candidate for an upper eyelid lift--age is not a determining factor-anatomy is

You are a good candidate for an upper eyelid lift--age is not a determining factor-anatomy is!I think what you are asking is reasonable and realistic. From the oblique view, you do have a curtain of upper eyelid skin that is sitting close to your lashes. A very well-planned upper blepharoplasty could make a nice and natural difference. I often combine this with a light fractional laser peel and this makes the skin that remains (the eyelid lifts removes skin within the...

Revisional Surgery to downsize can be tricky, and truly needs consultation, photos & breast measurements to give exact answers
Feb 17, 2015
I have done many cases similar to what you describe.

I always do a complete history (a copy of your implant card with exact style, size, manufacturer), an good exam, the old operative note, and then current breast measurements and photo analysis is what I would need to make a great operative plan for you. In...
BWD and implant diameter difference? And cc range?
Love the look you want, but would not be so concerned about the EXACT diameter-communicating "VISUAL RESULT" you forsee is key

Love the look you want, but would not be so concerned about the EXACT diameter-communicating "VISUAL RESULT" you forsee is key!I use highly cohesive silicone gel shaped implants and round cohesive silicone gel implants, like you are considering.My recommendation to each patient is based on a thorough consultation with a discussion of desires for size and shape, review of any photography the patient may want to share with me and then a complete exam, photographs, breast measurements and a...
Possible Options?
Breast Augmentation alone or Breast Augmentation with Lift are best options
Feb 3, 2015
Hello! I have reviewed your photographs. I prefer to see the shoulders so that I can determine the "length" of your breasts, which is critical to deciding if you would benefit from a breast augmentation alone or a breast augmentation with a breast lift. I also feel the best opinion is based on breast measurements, so my opinion would need to be substantiated by an exam and measurements with professional photographs at the time of your consultation. I think you could benefit...
