Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
4 Weeks Post - Op Gyno - Is this swelling normal? Its almost as if the glands are still there?
One Month After Gynecomastia Surgery and Still Large
Oct 18, 2018
As you probably know, gynecomastia is a very common problem which can affect as many as one in three males at some point in their lives and can affect their quality of life. There is a range of how much extra breast and fat tissue there is as well as the quality of the overlying skin which will determine the appropriate course of action. Although I don't have your preoperative photos, you were likely a moderate grade gynecomastia patient. Where there is no excessive skin laxity, liposuction...
Having lower back BodyTite lipo and would like to know how long it will be before I can resume
Lower back BodyTite and lipo: how long before lifting light weight again?
Oct 15, 2018
Thanks for this question as it is a very common one since most of us try to maintain an exercise regimen pretty regularly. You are admittedly an avid exerciser and work out more than the average person but the following factors will affect how much "down time" you will have:1. Type of anesthesia: if it's done under local anesthesia (awake), the recuperation is much shorter2. Amount of RF (radiofrequency energy) deposited. Your surgeon will discuss how much energy will be needed depending on ...
If Planning to Do a Bbl out of Town How Long Should I Plan to Stay in Town For?
BBL From Out of Town How Long to Stay
Aug 9, 2017
Depending on the length of the flight (domestic vs international), I recommend that our out of town patients stay for at least a week to ten days. That way, your activity level, recovery, and any other details are restored as closely to normal as the schedule allows. Any questions or issues can be taken care of at that time as well.For BBL done under local anesthesia, patients can safely travel as soon as two days postoperatively because there are no physiologic changes with circulation an...
Will getting lipo on my back for a BBL ruin my tattoo?
BBL and Tattoos
Aug 8, 2017
Many patients undergoing BBL have existing tattoos and other body art adornments. Removing fat and contouring should not significantly change the appearance of tattoos. They actually may provide excellent camouflage for the small access incisions used for the fat harvesting and/or injection as the ink covers the scars.
Weight loss after Brazilian Butt Lift
Weight loss after BBL
May 30, 2017
It is difficult to figure out the source of your weight loss since you started out at a relatively small size before the BBL surgery. I recommend you check with your surgeon to see how your body has changed based on the preoperative photos. You can also see the approximate amount of fat that has taken since you are two years out of surgery.
Abdominal Etching- for the Already Thin Person - Laser or Traditional Lipo?
Hi Def Abdominal Liposuction
May 30, 2017
Your question is appreciated because there may be some confusion regarding high definition liposuction and contouring. While etching creates lines to make the transcriptions of the rectus muscles deeper ('six pack') and leaves fat behind for the 'boxes', careful superficial liposuction can achieve excellent and natural looking results while avoiding the somewhat unnatural appearance that can occur with etching. Whether is achieved either with laser, ultrasound or traditional liposuction, the...
Where can I get Laser Liposuction in New York?
Laser Lipo In NYC
May 22, 2017
When considering laser assisted liposuction, there are many options patients have but there is a large variation in the experience of the surgeons. How many cases has the doctor performed, whether this is a large part of their practice, what type of anesthesia (local) is used, and finally if the surgeon is a trainer. The last part is important because if they are a certified trainer, that means he or she trains other surgeons to do the operation and means that have a certain level of...
If you had c-sections is it safe to have a bbl procedure done?
BBL after C-Section
May 9, 2017
In patients with uncomplicated C-section deliveries, BBL afterwards is not a problem. Your qualified plastic surgeon will make sure that you are a candidate for BBL after he or she sees you in person to make sure that you don't have anything that would rule you out as a candidate.
Where Will I Most Likely Gain Weight After a BBL?
Weight Gain after BBL?
May 9, 2017
Your question encapsulates a few important concepts regarding body contouring. First, the fat removed from the areas will never come back because we do not gain fat cells in number (to any significant degree) after puberty is completed. That means the fat cells removed are gone forever from that area but the remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain but the area overall will gain at a less rapid pace than other areas of the body that haven't been liposuctioned. Second, the fat...
I am going in for a BBL procedure. I have a faster than normal heart rate. Am I at risk?
BBL with Faster than Normal Heart Rate
Apr 26, 2017
Since you have a faster than normal heart rate and are on medication for it, getting medical clearance from your cardiologist will be the first thing to do. You had an operation previously and fortunately, everything went fine so your cardiologist will tell you if you are a candidate for the next BBL procedure.  One option is to do the operation under local anesthesia where with an anesthesiologist you have a physician who is dedicated to monitoring your heart situation continuously but you ...
Liposuction/BBL and Irregular Hearbeat
BBL and Irregular Heartbeat
Apr 26, 2017
No matter what operation you are considering, getting medical clearance from your cardiologist will be the first thing to do. The good news is that many irregular heart rhythms can safely be managed with when all parties involved communicate well and have a plan. An option is to do the operation under local anesthesia. I have done many body contouring procedures with patients who are awake with the addition of an anesthesiologist in the room. That way, you have a physician who is dedicated t...
Wearing jeans at 6 weeks?
Jeans 6 Weeks after BBL?
Apr 26, 2017
It's not so much the type of pants you wear after BBL but the fit-how tight they are. In general, it is preferable to wait about 8 weeks to be on the safe side but if the jeans are loose-fitting, six weeks should be sufficient. Surgeons are particular about the postoperative course, so please check with him or her.
How Long Does Brazilian Butt Lift Results Last?
How Long Do BBL Results Last?
Apr 11, 2017
The fat that survives long term (over three months postop) following a BBL behaves just like fat anywhere else in the body and is permanent. However, there are a lot of factors going on shortly after the operation is done that confuse the situation. First, there is swelling from the operation itself and, second, the amount of fat that survives for the long term is not 100%. Third, mechanical factors during the first several weeks of the operation will also affect how much survives. All t...
How Long Will the Results of Chin Liposuction Last?
Chin Lipo Results
Apr 4, 2017
There are two components to contouring of the chin with liposuction. The first is the fat removal which is permanent because the number of fat cells do not increase significantly after puberty is completed. Instead, the cells get larger or smaller depending on our weight status. If you maintain a steady weight after chin lipo, the absolute number of fat cells is permanently decreased by about two thirds or more depending on how aggressively the fat is removed. However, the remaining fat...
Any High Definition Liposuction Experts in New York or Miami?
HiDef Lipo In NYC
Apr 3, 2017
Many surgeons perform laser and traditional liposuction but not all are experienced with hi-def liposuction which takes more experience and time. Also, hi-def doesn't mean the same thing to both patients and doctors. For example, high definition may be confused with 'etching' where fat is intentionally left behind to give the appearance of muscles as in the abdomen. In my practice in NYC, high definition liposuction is careful liposuction which is aggressive in the areas of normally...
