Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Swelling in flanks return post SAFELiposuction. Has the fat returned?
Too soon to tell
May 31, 2017
At three weeks, swelling is usually substantial and typical. I usually tell patient's it will take 6-8 weeks to begin to see your results after SAFELipo. These continue to improve over 6 months or more and some patients appreciate skin contraction from this specialized technique over 1 year.
I did fat grafting to breasts and SAFELipo was used to do this. Was this the right choice?
SAFELipo a great choice
May 31, 2017
SAFELipo is a relatively new way to do liposuction. I began using it over a year ago and have used it in many applications. It has been used extensively in fat grafting. There are many variables to fat grafting, the harvest technique being only one. That being said, I now use it as my harvest technique of choice. I have used it extensively in the breast and have been very pleased with the reduction in donor site bruising and the "take" of the fat in the...
Am I a candidate for eyelid surgery?
Rejuvenation of your eyes
May 31, 2017
You do have some excess skin of your upper lid and some amount of ptosis (drooping of your upper eyelid). Your eyebrow can also contribute to the excess skin of your upper eyelid - think of the brow as a curtain-rod to your eyelid skin. Your lateral brow looks a little low and complete rejuvenation may require some lift here as well. See a board-certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation. You may be a candidate even though you are only 33.
I am having a Breast Reduction which will likely be covered by insurance. I want a TT as well.
Combining TT and breast reduction
Apr 13, 2017
Cosmetic surgeries can be done at the same time that insurance-covered procedures are done. Combining breast reduction with tummy tucks are common. There are different degrees of tummy tucks, so you would want to discuss the risks of the longer surgery with your plastic surgeon. With longer surgeries, you can require an overnight stay, but this is not always necessary with these two procedures. Your plastic surgeon would provide you with a cost that will...
I wear a 38 F. I am 5'6" about 195lbs. I need to have a right mastectomy. Can I have a implant
Getting an F with Implants
Apr 13, 2017
Unfortunately, it is difficult to give you a definite answer. Cup size is very variable and there is little consistency with measurements. The maximum size silicone gel implant available is 800 cc (if your surgeon is not participating in a study looking at larger sized implants). We do recognize that some patients would benefit from larger implants, but the FDA has not approved them yet. Standard saline implants can go a bit larger. Implant volume does not...
