Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Looking For Honest Insight. Is This The Best I Can Hope For After Implant Replacement and Lift? (
Breast implant revision, breast lift revision
Jul 26, 2014
Your concerns are valid and legitimate. The answer is that you don't have to settle for this. There is a clear difference in the size, and shape and symmetry and scar quality.So, I would recommend that you consider returning to your surgeon and discussing revision options.There will be many strategies that different surgeons will recommend, but this result can be improved.
I had resurfx yesterday and regret it. It left laser track marks and blister on muyface/chest. Is
Resurfx
Jul 10, 2014
Resurfx is a safe treatment that works well for pitted scars, and overall resurfacing. It does appear to cause small impression on the skin in a pattern and some areas will look more than the others. All of this should improve in the next few days. Sometimes you may get a blister, but these too will heal soon.Going over scars 2-3 times or passes is not uncommon.
Will it be difficult to complete a lift revision?
Breast lift with implants
Jul 1, 2014
I understand your concern. It is too early in the process to think about a revision. I am assuming that your surgeon is closely following your progress. I urge you keep in close touch with your surgeon and give your breasts enough time to settle. In most cases atleast 3 to 6 months. If after that there are issues and concerns, certainly a revision can be entertained and done successfully.Good Luck
Big A cup / small B cup and want to be a D cup after having 1 child. Do I need a Breast Lift? (ph
Breast lift with implants
Jul 1, 2014
You look like you have breasts of two different sizes and shapes. Getting shape, size and symmetry correct is important. You would do well with breast surgery, but in order to get the shape, size and symmetry right, you would need lift/reduction with implants. What I mean by lift/reduction, is that the side that is bigger can be made smaller by removing some breast tissue to match the size of the smaller one and then place the same or very close to the same size implants on...
How much does Acculift cost?
facelift, facial rejuvenation
Jun 29, 2014
Acculift, lunchtime lift, and many other so called quick operations are not usually effective. Most of the time, facial rejuvenation required a good understanding of skin excess, volume loss and general skin health. As such a comprehensive approach is the way to go in most cases.A well done procedure of the face that improves the look cannot be done in 30 minutes. I believe most serious surgeons would agree with that. This is true for the cheeks, jowls, neck, brow or most parts...
My lower mouth is asymmetrical. The left side has more tissue and sags. Can it be leveled? (photo
facelift, necklift
Jun 29, 2014
You would need a thorough examination at rest and when you are animating or moving your face, smiling etc.This is a difficult question to answer without a face to face consultation, appropriate photos and possibly videos.So, please seek a consultation.
6 months post op of Breast Lift with Implants, I have this scar opening. Should I be concern? (ph
Breast implants and revision, breast surgery revision
Jun 16, 2014
Based on the one view of the photo, it looks like a small, clean wound. these types of wound can and will heal with good wound care.however, it is somewhat unusual that it happened 6 months out. Sometimes sutures can spit out or cause such problems long after surgery. You have to make sure that it is a contained limited problem without any communication to the implant inside.So I would recommend that you make an appointment with your surgeon and have it evaluated.In the meantime,...
I'm 58 yr old female with fallen jowls, hooded eyes, sunken cheeks, and wrinkles. What treatment
Facelift, blepharoplasty
Jun 16, 2014
Yes, there is a lot to do and can be done to enhance the appearance for the positive. The jowls, the wrinkles, the hooding of the eyes, the sunken cheeks and other age related changes can be improved with surgery and other modalities.However, I highly recommend that it be done when a patient is in a good place emotionally, socially, financially and of course in good physical health.Doing such surgery in a depressed state of mind is not going to make one feel better. I wish you well in...
Would over filled saline give me round look and upper pole fullness?
Breast implant revision
Jun 11, 2014
Heavier implants will cause sagging eventually. The upper pole fullness will be short lived. I am assuming that with a nice bra you can have the cleavage and the upper pole fullness look that you desire.However, going with a larger implant will not in the long term make you happy.You will cause more stretching of the skin and more sagging and if you need revision in the future, and have discomfort etc. the surgery will need skin removal and other maneuvers to rectify the problem.In...

Facelift, SMAS lift
Jun 11, 2014
It sounds like you have some type of problem with your facial nerve. If it is from swelling, it should return soon (maybe around 3-5 months), but if it is from other causes, such as actual injury with it being cut, burnt, etc. then it may take a very long time. In very rare cases, it may not come back.Look at the rest of your face. Are you able to raise your brow, are you able to blow your cheeks, wrinkle your nose and also show your teeth. These are some of the other functions...
What treatment would be best to rejuvenate my skin?
Skin Rejuvenation
Jun 10, 2014
A comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation is always thebest option. This involves having in office procedures such as fractionatedlaser resurfacing, photodynamic therapy (IPL) and/or mid depth rejuvenatingpeels combined with a personalized skin care routine that includes productscontaining Retinols, hydroquinone, alpha-hydroxy acids, peptides, antioxidants andadequate sun protection. These treatments and products will worksynergistically in your skin promoting cellular exfoliation,...
Will ResurFX help remove fine lines and make me look younger?
ResurFX fine lines
Jun 10, 2014
ResurFx will help improve the fine lines. The treatment is usually a series of treatment. Results are not seen for several months.
Will ResurFX help treat facial redness?
ResurFx redness
Jun 10, 2014
ResurFx is not specifically used for redness of the face. You need to be evaluated to determine the reason for the redness. There are certain conditions that can cause the redness. Depending on the cause there are several treatment options.

I have 510 cc implants and I'm 5'8". How many cc do I need to get a full look?
Breast Implant Revision,
Jun 5, 2014
Generally speaking, implant size should be determined by measuring the dimensions of the breast. Once you do so, you can choose from the sizes that fit the dimensions of the breast. You can certainly go a bit bigger or a bit smaller and also can choose from the various profiles, such as a ultrahigh, high, moderate plus, moderate profile which give you different projections.I generally try and steer patients away from speaking of volume of cc's. It does matter to know how many...
