Answer Snippet
Can I Tighten my Loose Abdominal Skin Without Surgery?
Abdominal skin tightening- BodyTite should be considered
Sep 28, 2017
Congratulations on your impressive weight loss. I understand it can be disappointing to have loose skin as a result.
Based on the picture you presented, I think you are a candidate for either a mini tunny tuck or a newer treatment called BodyTite.
Tummy tucks area a more invasive surgical procedure to remove excess skin from the abdomen. A mini tummy tuck is the same however the skin removed is only from the lower part of the tummy so the belly button does not have to be...
How much does Kybella cost per treatment and how many treatments?
Kybella cost
Sep 28, 2017
Kybella is a good treatment for fat in the neck. The pictures you provided are helpful however a full profile view would be even better. Combining the pictures with an in person evaluation is best of course.
Kybella treatments should be individualized based on your exam and a plan formulated. Fuller necks may need 4 vials per treatments and 3-4 treatments but smaller necks like yours can typically be treated with much less product and thus a lower cost.
I would suspect that you may need...
Tummy Tuck Recovery
Tummy Tuck recovery time
Sep 28, 2017
Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty recovery time can vary greatly.
In my practice at Marietta Plastic Surgery in Atlanta I use several techniques to try and limit the down time including a long acting pain block using Exparel and a drainless technique.
Post op care usually involves a light binder for compression and I utilize scar therapy to help the incision not be a concern long term.
Most people take about 10-14 days off work and about 6 weeks away from exercise. Getting up and...
How Long is the Recovery Period for Full Tummy Tuck?
Tummy Tuck recovery time
Sep 28, 2017
Thank you for your question:about how long does it take to stand up straight after a fuller tummy tuck.
In general: 5 weeks to stand upright after a "full tummy tuck' is longer than I would expect. However it does not mean you are not going to have a good result. I imagine your lower back may be a little tired and uncomfortable as a result.
Tummy tucks or abdominoplasty surgery typically means someone has the excess abdominal skin removed from the belly button to the lower...
Is there a problem with my TT or muscle repair?
Tummy tuck post op fullness
Mar 26, 2016
Thank you for your question. Congratulations on your new shape.Your photos are appreciated but are difficult to evaluate without your before pictures and an in person exam.In general, the upper abdomen may have a little more fullness after a tummy tuck due to several causes.Checking with your surgeon is best as they know the specific issues they may have encountered with your procedure.Michael McNeel, MD
I wear a 36D bra. Can't decide what size implant would look good for my height and lbs. 600-70
600-700cc implants
Mar 26, 2016
Thank you for your question and photo.The selection of implants requires more information than you have provided in your question. Nothing is better than an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. A session of implant sizing in my office is done with every consultation and some also get a special 3D type photo showing your body with the implant and lift!In general using a 600-700cc implant on your size body will most likely give you a very large breast/cup size. I...

Breast Implants and Rippling
Mar 22, 2016
Thank you for your question regarding implant placement and breast rippling.Breast implant rippling occurs in some women due to not having enough tissue over the implant to hide these implant related imperfections.So putting the implant behind the muscle does add more tissue over the implant and in most situations leads to less rippling.There are other factors that can increase the risk of rippling after breast augmentation such as:•the use of saline implants•using an implant that is too...
I am an A cup (34). I'm wanting to be a small C after my surgery, I was thinking around 290cc
Breast implant size to be a C cup?
Mar 22, 2016
Thanks for your question. Deciding what implant volume will make a person a certain cup size is a complex question that really can not be determined based on the information you provided.In my practice I use a combination of your chest measurements, your present breast volume and a trial of sizers that is done in my office with me during your consult to determine the correct volume for your height and weight!I can also confirm your selection with a3D camera image so you can see your after...
Is a free nipple graft necessary?
Breast reduction and free nipple grafting
Mar 22, 2016
Thank you for your question.My take is that you are a D-DD now and want to be a B cup.In my experience, free nipple grafting is not needed very often with breast reduction surgery. Without photos I can not say for sure in your case but plastic surgeons have several techniques to preserve nipple blood flow in this type of surgery.If you were advised you need a free nipple graft with your breast reduction you may want to get a second opinion to make sure you are one of the rare people who need...
Would I be eligible for liposuction, mini tummy tuck or tummy tuck?
Lipo or tummy tuck
Mar 22, 2016
Your question is very common. Thank you for asking it so others can learn from your example.Based on your photos- it appears that you would do best with a combination of a lower tummy tuck with Lipo to the upper abdomen and flanks and lower back region.This procedure would address your excess lower abdominal skin as well as the excess fatty fullness to the upper abdomen, love handles and bra line area. I do this procedure without drains and my patients love this option.As an Atlanta...
How big does a seroma need to be before it can be drained?
Seroma after tummy tuck
Oct 18, 2015
Sorry to hear of your difficulty after your tummy tuck. A seroma is a collection of fluid under the skin that can accumulate after a procedure. If a patient gets a seroma after an abdominoplasty, I prefer to drain them, no matter the size. Typically if a seroma can be identified, it can be drained. Sometimes this may be done every 3-4 days.The benefit of draining an abdominal seroma after an abdominoplasty is that the seroma can cause a long term fullness that can limit your results.The...
I'm about 14lbs from my goal weigh. Should I get a tummy tuck?
Weight loss prior to abdominoplasty?
Sep 10, 2015
Thanks for your question. It is a common one.No online advice can replace an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. With that being said there is only one perfect answer to your question. It is always best to be at your ideal weight prior to elective surgery. This is not always a reality. I see women every week with this same question. I usually suggest the following:1. If you can safely get to a goal ideal weight prior to surgery, it is helpful as your muscles...
Will I have to get a mammogram before I have breast reduction surgery? It wasn't mentioned dur
Mammogram prior to breast reduction?
Sep 10, 2015
Mammograms are not something women look forward to!that being said, they are an important aspect of women's breast health care.i suggest women consider getting a mammogram prior to elective breast surgery if they are 30 years old or older.Most suggestions for routine mammograms are to begin between 35-40. This is because the density of the breast tissue is more favorable about this age. The reason I suggest a mammogram from the age of 30 or older when considering elective breast surgery...
Stomach is bloated and fat over 1 week post-op.
Bloated stomach after Breast Augmentation
Aug 30, 2015
Your concern is a common one after breast augmentation and many other procedures as well. It is good that you are having normal bowel movements. Pain medication and constipation can certainly occur after surgery.There can be several other reasons for your stomach fullness.This typically means that the bloating is related to edema or excess fluid in your system. This is usually related to the IV fluids you received during surgery. I find that it takes about 7-14 days for many women to cycle...

How to get breast fullness without implants
Aug 30, 2015
Your concerns about implants are common. The good news is that an extensive amount of research has been done regarding silicone and saline implants and any adverse issues are not life threatening. However implants do not usually last a lifetime and they will need revisionary surgery. So if you are set on not using an implant, even a saline implant, then you may want to consider a breast lift. A breast lift can typically be done without reducing much if any of your breast tissue, just...
