Why did my breast lift not work?

Breast lift may bottom out because.... many factors
Sep 17, 2018

A breast lift with augmentation can be one of the most challenging procedures (both for the patient to undergo and for the surgeon to achieve the desired results). There are many factors at play that may effect the results. Initial stretchability of the skin (having children can impact this, but so can fluctuations in weight and/or initial shape of the breasts), size of the implant, how tight skin is pulled effecting tension on the scars, amount of breast...

Am I too thin for a breast augmentation?

perfect breast size
May 23, 2018

There are many factors to help determine the prefect breast size. One is the type of breast implant. The anatomically shaped or more form stable implants can be a nice option for very thin women, like yourself, who desire breast augmentation. These type of implants may mitigate the risks of showing the implants or looking too obvious. I encourage you to visit a board certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience with breast augmentation surgery. Good luck.

Follow-up: Would 600cc be good for my frame? Or can I go a bit bigger?

600cc Implants?
May 3, 2018

It is difficult to recommend an implant from photos and height and weight measurements alone. Typically, when sizing a patient for the ideal size many variables are taken into consideration: Objective measurements of the breast, desired amounts of projection based on photos and drawings, quality of the skin (i.e. has there been much stretch on the tissue, is there drooping, etc.), as well as how the patient appears with different sized implants from a sizing system in place...

3 weeks after breast augmentation: do I have a double bubble?

Breast Augmentation early healing
May 3, 2018

While I cannot pull up your picture, I can encourage you based on your time frame from surgery. Often it takes a month up to 3 or 6 months to see the final results from breast surgery. I agree with the other physicians who answered your question that during the initial period it is best to "wait and see" and allow proper time for healing to take place. Even if there is less than perfect results, the time for re-operation would not be in the initial healing phase. While it...

Is it common for surgeons to use sizers in the OR during a BA procedure?

Breast Augmentation and Sizers use
May 3, 2018

Using sizers during surgery seems to be a personal decision by the surgeon. It is neither right nor wrong. I commonly will use sizers as the last piece of the puzzle to determine the perfect size for the patient. I also use objective measurements, patient desires and skin characteristics of the individual patient. The sizer helps demonstrate the tissue characteristics of individual breast once an implant is in place and allows for subtle...

I had a tummy tuck, with muscle repair, 4 years ago. The area around my belly button is protr

Area around belly button protruding after Tummy Tuck
Jul 10, 2016

I agree with the others that this would require a physical examination to determine exactly what is causing this. It does sound like a possible umbilical hernia which an opening in the strength layer of your abdominal wall near your belly button. When your intestines poke out through the opening, the bulge is experienced. Pain may also be experienced during this as well. Typically, a simple repair could be undertaken to fix this.

Numb Foot After Botox Injection - Normal?

Numbness after botox

Botox affects the muscles, not typically the sensory nerves. Numbness would be an unusual side effect and may not be related at all. Return to your injector for more specific treatment.

How long, on average, does it take to heal after a mommy makeover?

Healing Time After Mommy Makeover
Mar 2, 2016

Depending upon the specific combination of surgeries you choose, it can take between a few days to a few weeks. For most of my patients who choose a Breast lift with Augmentation, a Tummy Tuck with Liposuction the healing time is close to 2-3 weeks. After 48 hours, I encourage my patients to shower...which goes a LONG way towards helping them feel like themselves again. By the first week, they are close to resuming most normal activity and by two weeks they are well on their way to feeling...

Can Liposuction and Tummy Tuck Be Done at the Same Time?

Tummy Tuck and Liposuction Combo
Mar 1, 2016

Very often patients want to combine liposuction with a tummy tuck. This can be done, but on a limited basis and it has everything to do with blood flow. Liposuction can be pretty safely added to the flanks/hips areas to reduce the overhand of fat near the sides (the "muffin top"). However, liposuction in the front of the abdomen is not recommended because of potential problems to the blood flow here. This is the area that is brought downwards in a tummy tuck after the excess is removed. If...

What are my options of having lipo with a TT?

Pinch Test needed
Mar 1, 2016

To decide between liposuction or a tummy tuck, I perform a physical exam which includes the "pinch test" where we pinch an inch near your belly. I try to gather up the loose skin and fat between your belly button and surpa-pubic area (just above the pubic hair line). That will help us determine if you area a candidate for a tummy tuck.

How Long Does It Usually Take to Wake Up from General Anesthesia if Going for a Mommy Makeove

Waking from anesthesia
Feb 29, 2016

This is an area where many moms worry: waking up from the surgery. Anesthesia is very well controlled and will be timed right to allow you to gradually awaken right after surgery. You will be groggy and may sleep the rest of the day, but that will be in the comfort of your own bed or in your room at the hospital if your surgeon decided to keep you overnight.

Should I consider Lipo or Tummy tuck? And if I were to get pregnant in the future would that

Readiness for a tummy tuck
Feb 29, 2016

A tummy tuck can remove the stretched out skin and fat below the belly button and leave a flatter smoother stomach without as many stretch marks. For excellent results, I encourage my patients to be within 10% of their ideal body weight. Sometimes, this is often difficult to obtain with diet and exercise. In that case, fair to good results, not excellent results, can be expected. A tummy tuck is limited in the fat that can be removed. It has to be "external fat" above the muscle layer....

Advice for Exercise After Breast Augmentation?

Returning to your exercise routine after breast augmentation
Feb 29, 2016

I encourage my breast augmentation patients to return to activities of daily living as soon as possible after surgery. However, this does NOT necessarily mean exercise. I usually will allow my patients to return to aerobic activity within 2-3 weeks from surgery, without any chest exercises (NO push-ups, bench presses or even Yoga that involves chest work...think downward dog). Chest work-outs can be resumed approximately 4-6 weeks after surgery. The reasoning behind this is the need to...

How Do You Massage Breasts After Breast Augmentation?

Implant massages
Feb 29, 2016

Massages recommended for implants are implant and surgeon specific. In my practice, I encourage light exercises for the form stable (gummy bear implants) in the form of a gentle jumping jack motion...arms over head. I also encourage a "reaching back" motion to loosen up the muscle. For round gel and saline implants, I teach my patients to push up and in on the implant in order to displace them in the breast cavity that was created during surgery. An easy way to visualize this is to take the...
