Can internal bra be done with pre installed stratus?
It depends
Oct 15, 2019
Hello Realselfer!
Thank you for sharing your question, it is a pleasure for me to answer and hope this helps.

Implant malposition is usually due to several factors that can affect the displacement at the long term. Prosthesis weight, quality of tissues, smoking, asymmetry and surgical technique are a few of the issues that can affect the implant. So, considerations at the time of evaluation and preparation for surgery is implant size (going smaller or bigger), the quality of tissue and...

Why does the muscle under my arm hurts so bad? More than the cut and implants it self?
Can be muscle stretch.
Oct 10, 2019
Hello Realselfer
Thank you for sharing your question, it a pleasure for me to answer and hope this helps.

Depending on the type of augmentation mammoplasty that you had, it can cause some muscle spasms. This is specially more common when the implant is placed under the muscle. The muscle is moved forward to a higher location than the chest causing the muscle to be at a greater length. This is usually temporary, self-limited and rare after six months.

Finally, please make sure that...

Is it safe for me to get a tummy tuck after Laparoscopic Surgery?
It should be generally safe with some exceptions.
Oct 1, 2019
Thank you for sharing your question and photos. It is a pleasure for me to answer and hope this helps.
Just based on what I can see in the photos, you are a good candidate for either liposuction or tummy tuck in order to get rid of the excess loose skin and tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. However, you want to wait at least 3-6 months for all the bruising and swelling to resolve. This helps during dissection at the time of surgery and prevents any complications due to the ongoing...
Would you suggest tummy tuck and lipo or just tummy tuck after 3 c-sections?
Yes it looks like it
Oct 1, 2019
Thank you for sharing your question and photos. It is a pleasure for me to answer and hope this helps.

Just base on what I can see in the photos, you are a good candidate for both, liposuction in order to get the hour glass shape that enhances your curves as well as a tummy tuck in order to get rid of the excess loose skin and tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall.

Finally, please make sure that you seek evaluation by a board-certified plastic surgeon. This will ensure that...

I Have 1000cc`s Saline over Filled with 850 Implant Bag, How Can I Proceed To Meet My Expectations? (
The areolas have stretched out as well.
Sep 10, 2019
Hello Realselfer!
Thank you for sharing your question, it a pleasure for me to answer and hope this helps.

Just looking at the pictures it looks to me like with time, this have not work out well for you. Like you already know there are multiple problems that have developed over time. The skin has stretched due to the weight of the implants, they have migrated laterally, the cleavage is too wide and the areolar skin (the dark skin around the nipple) have enlarged too much. Sometimes a more...

Should I get a capsulectomy and a new implant after second capsular contracture? Should I remove both
Looks like something else.
Sep 10, 2019
Hello Realselfer!
Thank you for sharing your question, it a pleasure for me to answer and hope this helps.

Just looking at the pictures it looks to me like it is something else. The right breast actually looks like it is in the right position with the nipple seating right on top of the breast mound. Furthermore, if you look at the photo of your scar, the right one is actually at the level of the inframammary fold or crease where it should be. The left is riding a little higher in your...

What's your professional opinion on what procedure would be a good choice?
From the photos, it's complicated.
Sep 4, 2019
Hello Realselfer!
Thank you for sharing your question, it a pleasure for me to answer and hope this helps.

Looking at the photos it seems that you are a great candidate for a tummy tuck and BBL as well. This will help you get rid of excess loose skin, tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall, narrow the waist and improve the contour/look. From the photos, I think that a BBL will improve the contour of your buttocks, enhance the projection and will also better define the hips which...

I feel like I need an extended tummy tuck but I don't think I need a breast lift though?
It's complicated
Sep 4, 2019
Hello Realselfer!
Thank you for sharing your question, it a pleasure for me to answer and hope this helps.

Looking at the photos it seems that you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck. This will help you get rid of excess loose skin, tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall and improve the contour and look of the waist line. From the photos, I do not think that an extension is needed. Something that happens with significant amount of weight loss like yours, is that some skin remains loose...

What procedure would I benefit from? And what order should I have them done?
Great candidate!
Sep 4, 2019
You seem to be a perfect candidate for an explant and breast lift. This procedure will reposition the breast tissue where it supposed to be, get rid of the excess loose skin and improve the overall contour of your breasts. Also a tummy tuck will get rid of most of the excess loose abdominal skin with stretch marks, tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall and improve the contour of the waist line. As other providers have mentioned, using liposuction as an added...
Can my ears look normal again before my wedding in October?
It depends
Feb 10, 2019
Hi there, thanks for sharing your concern and photo. Gauged lobes are a popular trend over the past several years and like tattoos sometimes the clients change their minds about them. I would have to agree with the previous even answers given. However this is a problem that can be fixed. I previously worked in the military and a significant amount of the new recruits came in with stretched out lobes. As they progress along the ranks it did not seem professional...
What is the average price for ear shaping?
Otoplasty pricing
Jan 16, 2019
Hi there, thanks for the interesting question and for sharing your concern.
Re-shaping of the ears, range in this area between $5-6K. AS everything it depends on the level of complexity. Asymmetry, as you describe, makes things even more challenging, but not more expensive necessarily. In my practice, I have encountered significant cases of congenital malformation of the ear, that have required a combination of innovative techniques. Keep in mid that some degree of asymmetry may remain...
How long will it take for the raised tissue on the side of the eyes to fade after blepharoplasty?
About 6 weeks
Nov 18, 2018
Once tissue is injured it has to undergo the normal healing process. It is usually fast on the beginning and then it continues slowly for several months. The first 6 weeks are remarkable but you would see changes 6 months out and up to a year.
How can I get this keloid on my ear all the way removed?
Adequate early results.
Nov 12, 2018
So, it seems to me by the photo that you posted, that you have very adequate early results. After the body is injured it requires time to rebuild and remold the area that have been injured. If you ever sustained an abrasion after falling while riding a bike as a child, you may have noticed that it took several weeks for it to almost disappear. This is the case as well with surgery. Multiple layers have to heal and the wound will not look anything it it looks immediately or a few weeks after...
