Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
What can be done for my terrible breasts?
Breast augmentation, breast lift, tubular breast, large areola
Aug 24, 2016
I am excited for you because I think yo can have a very nice result with reduction of your areola size and breast augmentation.  You may need a lollipop or circumvertical to help with areolar reduction, but even that will give a wonderul result.  I don’t think you need a anchor lift.  Wishing you the best.
Breast Aug in September – Do you think I’ll end up needing a lift?
Breast lift, breast augmentation, sagging breasts
Jul 28, 2016
After looking at your photos, I absolutely suggest a lift with your breast augmentation.  This can be done with a lollipop type incision and the scarring is really not bad.  As a bonus you can reduce the areola size as well, giving a more youthful appearance.  Placing a large implant will not lift the breasts.  The breasts will still fall off the implant and you will be unhappy with the outcome.  Wishing you the very best outcome.
Retouch after lipo – belly button, uneven skin.
tummy tuck, belly button, umbilicus, loose skin, uneven contour, liposuction
Jul 5, 2016
Judging from your picture,  I would lean toward abdominoplasty or tummy tuck.  This tightens skin, contours can be easily smoothed and the umblicus can be fashioned to be more youthful.  Hard to say for sure with just the one picture and no exam, but go see a board certified plastic surgeon with ASPS and ASAPS credentials and experienced and interested in abdominoplasty/ lipoabdominoplasty, and they can give you a more accurate assessement.

Jul 2, 2016
First of all, you obviously have taken great care of yourself , and you are fortunate to have very few if any stretch marks.  What I notice on side view is that your abdominal wall is probably not at flat as you would like.  Because of that, I suggest repairing the muscles (diastasis) all the way down from xiphoid to pubis.  This would give you a flatter, more athletic appearance.  I would simply float the umbilicus and that would make for a better repair as well.  You could get some tigh…
Is this breast implant scar common?
scars and breast augmentation
Jun 25, 2016
Agree with what has been said. The scars appear wider than usual.  Do you have a history of poor scarring?I am sure your plastic surgeon can help you with this.
Should I consider lowering my inframmary fold rather than getting a lift?
lower inframammary fold
Jun 25, 2016
I would suggest careful thought and analysis before doing that in your case.  A lot of negative consequences can result when this is done to avoid what may be the best operation for you.  Be sure to discuss with an ASPS and ASAPS certified plastic surgeon with experience and interest in breast surgery.
I would love to have volume in my breast without a lift. I am not truly interested in achieving a la
breast lift, breast augmentation
Jun 18, 2016
You can achieve a fuller breast superiorly with a small implant.  Lift would be best, but to avoid scars, a small implant could be employed.  Size increase would  be modest and give you upper pole fullness.
Should I have breast implants under the muscle or above?
tubular breasts, breast augmentation, above or below muscle
Jun 3, 2016
This sounds like a challenging situation, but can be addressed.  Your question is a good one.  So much depends on your breast volume, shape and tissue.  Hard to address without photos and exam.  You certainly can place the implants above the muscle but may result in implant palpability and ripples as well as capsular contracture.  In your situation however, it may be the best choice.  Make sure you seek expert opinion from an experienced plastic surgeon qualified by ASPS and ASAPS and who i…
What do you advise for out of town tummy tuck patients? How long should you stay in town?
tummy tuck and out of town, post op monitoring.
May 2, 2016
I usually advise patients to stay in town until I see them the next day.  If they live close say less than two hours I will allow them to go home.  Patients who are out of state or country they need to stay close for about two weeks.
Will Hyaluronidase Correct an Uneven Lip Augmentation Result?
Hyaluronidase
Apr 16, 2016
Hyaluronidase is a protein enzyme that degrades hyaluronic acid and is  what makes the use of fillers such as Juvederm, Voluma and Restylane so appealing.  These hyaluronic acid fillers can be reversed if we don’t like them!  It works almost like an eraser and usually does so within 24 hours.  This gives these fillers a huge advantage over others which cannot be reversed so easily.  That said, it is so much better to add incrementally than subtract and have to start over.  Expense is anoth…
Do I have Pectus Excavatum? If so, should I see a doctor?
pectus excavatum

I will agree with the two previous comments.  Hard to tell based on photos and very mild if any and that should allow you to have a very nice cleavage should you decide on breast augmentation.  Pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum are interesting conditions and there are all kinds of  degrees and variation in between.Best wishes.
After a tummy tuck, will the scar fade?
tummy tuck and scars
Apr 2, 2016
Always a concern with any surgery and particularly with tummy tuck procedures is scar appearance.Scars fade with time thank goodness.  It can take up to a year for this to occur. Keys to minimize scars are tension free closures (progressive tension sutures), taping  post operative (structural), scar gels (chemical), and scar placement (plastic surgery judgement).  To put your mind at ease, ask to see scar placement and examples of tummy tuck results.  Pay close attention to the belly…

It is interesting that the two photographs look quite different.   The photo with more of a tan lends itself to more of a full tummy tuck with a small vertical scar.  The other photo seems more smooth and unfurled, but I still would lean toward a full tummy tuck and vertical scar.   Generally the vertical scars do quite well and almost appear like a stretch mark in time.  I believe just getting that entire area lower on the abdomen and spread a bit will make for a wonderful improvement….
What would be the best and least complicated incision site for breast augmentation?
breast augmentation and incisions
Mar 21, 2016
You are right.  The incision under the breast or at the inframammary crease location is very commonly used and has the least chance of capsular contracture.  The armpit or transaxillary has the very best scar, but hard to change out silicone implants.  The periareolar is also good because of the color change, but carries a slightly higher incidence of capsular contracture.  Any of these is good and you should discuss with your board certified and ASPS and ASAPS qualified breast surgeon….
Is 300cc is going to look too large for my body size?
Breast Augmentation and choosing the right implant and size.
Mar 19, 2016
It seems like next to safety, choosing the right implant and size is always a big decision for the patient.My suggestion:  Consider using a Vectra a very neat 3 dimensional imaging system to help image the breast and show you what different sizes might look on your body.  It is quite accurate and very helpful.  Next consider the shape of the implant.  You are very slender and I bet have a very low body fat, you might consider the shaped implant as an option too.  It gives you a very…
