What Can I Expect From Mole Removal Recovery By Excision?

What Can I Expect From Mole Removal Recovery By Excision?
Sep 12, 2018

Hello VagNik and thank you for your question.I instruct my mole removal patients to keep the surgical site covered for up to 12 weeks post-op. Keeping the area from sun exposure will prevent pigmentation of a healing scar and ultimately result in the least visible outcome. The size and shape of the scar will depend on the technique used to remove the mole. Different surgeons have different techniques so it would be best to follow up with your surgeon for the answers to those quest…

What is the best technique to remove the mole I have by my lips. I’m afraid of being left with an ugly sca

What is the best technique to remove the mole I have by my lips
Sep 12, 2018

Hello MecheMelara,Thank you for your question and photo. I believe that you could achieve a great scar result with surgical excision. Of course, an in-person consultation is needed to be sure. Please visit my mole removal web gallery to view scar results from surgical excision.Good luck!

Should I consider having another consultation with a different PS?

2nd opinion
Aug 21, 2018

Thank you for your question and photos.It is typically recommended that you consult with 3 different board certified plastic surgeons before making your decision. I would highly recommend at least one more for you if you aren’t feeling confident in the first doctors recommendation.It appears to me that you are a good candidate for a full tummy tuck with muscle repair. I do not believe that a mini-tummy tuck will yield optimal results in your case; however, a physical examination is nee…

What procedures would you recommend for my mommy makeover?

What procedures would you recommend for my mommy makeover?
Aug 14, 2018

Thank you for your question and photos.Congratulations on your weight loss! You appear to be a good candidate for a tummy tuck to repair the diastasis recti and stretched skin caused by your pregnancies. I believe you could achieve a perky, round breast with a lift alone, based on the good amount of natural tissue that you appear to have. An implant may also be an option if that’s what you would prefer. A consultation and examination is needed to be sure that these are the best optio…

Is it best to get a mommy makeover or split the procedures up to get the best results?

Is it best to get a mommy makeover or split the procedures up to get the best results?
Aug 8, 2018

Thank you for your question.It is best to do these procedures separately. Most of the risk associated with surgery is due to the amount of time spent under general anesthesia. It is much safer to do (3) three-hour procedures than it is to do (1) nine-hour procedure. Combining them means that your surgeon is likely going to be going faster than they normally would to avoid keeping you under for longer. Separating them allows your surgeon more time spent on each individual procedure w…

Why won’t docs do a tummy tuck until I lose more weight? Can’t lose more than 25 lbs no matter how hard I

Why won’t docs do a tummy tuck until I lose more weight?
Aug 8, 2018

Thank you for your question.
With a BMI over 30, the risk associated with surgery is much higher and the reward is often times not ideal. These are likely the reasons that the doctor(s) you have seen are not comfortable moving forward.
I would suggest seeing a weight loss specialist to help you lose the weight needed to get you there. This type of referral is often times covered by insurance. You can contact your insurance carrier or speak with your primary care doctor to find out if …

10 weeks post tummy tuck and going on holiday

Beach holiday at 10 weeks post tummy tuck
Aug 8, 2018

Thank you for your question.I usually recommend that my patients keep their scars covered for up to 12 weeks to prevent pigmentation from the sun. High waist bikini bottoms should be enough but it wouldn’t hurt to cover your belly button with a Band-aid for added protection. I would also recommend a visit with your surgeon so they may examine you and advise accordingly.Good luck and have fun!

Small flat facial mole – what is best procedure?

Small flat facial mole – what is best procedure?
Jul 25, 2018

Thank you for your question.I would recommend that you have the mole surgically excised and examined by a pathologist to be sure that there is nothing there that you should be concerned about. With surgical excision, the mole is removed down to the root which lessens the risk for recurrence and, in my experience, results in the best scar.

A consultation and examination by a board certified plastic surgeon is best to determine whether this is the best option for you.

Good luck!

What is an ideal circumstance for me to get the best result from a full tummy tuck? Considering a breast l

What is an ideal circumstance for me to get the best result from a full tummy tuck?
Jul 25, 2018

Thank you for your question.The ideal tummy tuck candidate has maintained a stable, healthy weight for at least 6 months and is no more than 10 lbs. from their goal weight. You appear to be a good candidate for a tummy tuck to repair the diastasis recti and stretched skin caused by your pregnancy. With a tummy tuck, a more aesthetic belly button is created and I also do a bit of liposculpting to create more contour and definition of the abdomen.I recommend a consultation and examination by…

How sore will I be after breast augmentation surgery?

How sore will I be after breast augmentation surgery?
Jul 25, 2018

Thank you for your question. Everyone heals differently and has a different pain threshold so there’s no way to know exactly how you’ll be feeling. Typically, at 3 days post-op, you’ll still be sore and unable to do much of anything. I recommend that my patients refrain from doing any activities that elevate their heart rate above a normal resting rate and from doing any lifting for 4-6 weeks after surgery. Definitely follow up with your surgeon before doing anything more than …

Flying at 2 weeks post breast augmentation
Jul 24, 2018

Thank you for your question.Flying at 2 weeks post-op should not be an issue but I definitely recommend being seen and cleared by your surgeon before making the trip.I would strongly recommend that you not carry a 25 lb. bag at 2 weeks post-op. I instruct my patients to refrain from lifting, pushing or pulling any items weighing more than 10 lbs. for at least 4-6 weeks. You can check with your airline to see if any accommodations can be made given your situation.Good luck!

How to treat poorly healed inframammary scars one year post BA?

Poorly healed infra mammary scars
Jul 24, 2018

Thank you for your question.
At this point, it is unlikely that scar cream or silicone sheets will have any effect on your scars. There is a minimally invasive procedure known as Carboxy Therapy that may help improve the appearance of your scars. I have included a link below that explains Carboxy Therapy in detail.
Scar revision may also be an option. I recommend an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether scar revision is a good option for you.
Good luck!

Will my health insurance cover my tummy tuck?

Can a tummy tuck be covered by health insurance?
Jul 24, 2018

Thank you for your question. The tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is not considered a medically necessary surgery so it is not covered by medical insurance. A panniculectomy, which the excision of the skin that hangs over the groin area, can often times be covered by medical insurance when certain criteria is met. I have had patients add a full tummy tuck to an insurance covered panniculectomy. In some cases, doing this can lower the costs of a tummy tuck. I would recommend seeing a boar…
