I Need Suggestions on How to Communicate a Major Concern with my Doctor.

Communicating with your Doctor
Oct 6, 2011

You should definitely see another Plastic Surgeon for a second opinion. It also would be helpful if you could bring photographs of yourself from before the first surgery and before the second surgery so the surgeon can see what your baseline anatomy looked like. The bottom line is, this either represents some underlying natural asymmetry that you have always had, or there is an issue from your first surgery that needs to be addressed. A second opinion should help to sort…

Liquid Facelift

The “Liquid Facelift”
Oct 5, 2011

The term "Liquid Facelift" refers to the use of injectable fillers to rejuvenate the face by adding volume. It is a relatively simple procedure compared to a full surgical facelift. There are risks to all procedures, but, in general, a minimally invasive procedure such as this will have less associated risks than a more aggressive surgical procedure. Whether this type of procedure is an appropriate option for you will depend on your own anatomy. Some…

How Much is a Face Lift Compared to a Lifestyle Lift ?

The “Cost” of Facelift Surgery
Oct 5, 2011

We often see questions regarding the cost of one procedure versus another. The problem is that what is being compared is often apples to oranges. A larger procedure will inevitably cost more, but will also, in general, produce more significant results. There are many variables to consider when contemplating an elective surgery. Cost is certainly one of the variables, but should not be the main focus. The experience and training of the surgeon, the exact…

How Do Breast Implants over the Muscle Protect Against Cancer?

Risk of breast cancer with implants
Oct 5, 2011

Breast implants, no matter how they are placed, or if they are saline or gel, do not increase the risk for breast cancer. They also do not, in any way, decrease the risk of breast cancer. Placing the implant under the muscle rather than above the muscle does make surveillance studies, such as mammograms, a bit more reliable.

Belly Button Swelling After Exercising, 1 Months Post-Op Tummy Tuck, Normal?

Post Tummy Tuck Swelling
Oct 5, 2011

It is normal to have some swelling after a tummy tuck. The majority of the swelling is usually gone by 8 weeks post-op, but it will often take 6 months for all of the swelling to subside. A more sudden change in abdominal swelling could indicate a fluid collection that will need to be drained. If the increased swelling doesn't subside within a few days, you should see your Plastic Surgeon.

Breast Implant Scars

Breast Implant Scars
Jan 5, 2011

Unavoidably, an incision is needed to place a breast implant, which will result in a scar. These scars can be placed in one of three places – at the breast crease (inframammary), the lower areola (periareolar), or in the armpit (transaxillary). Which one is best will depend on the anatomy of each patient, as well as the experience and comfort level of the surgeon. Regardless of which approach is used, the scars typically become nearly imperceptible. None of them…

Help! I Can’t Decide on a Size, and my Surgery is on Friday.

Implant sizing
Jan 5, 2011

I find it helpful during a consultation to have patients place implant sizers in a bra to get an idea of what a particular implant will look like. You didn't mention if you had the opportunity to do this at any of your consultations. One thing to keep in mind with this, however, is that the implant will ultimately look a bit smaller (by about 5-10%) once it has completely settled, as compared to preoperative sizing. Therefore, if a patient likes the look of a 275cc…

SMAS Facelift Incision?

The SMAS Facelift
Jan 5, 2011

There are many variations of the surgical "facelift". The incision placement you describe is very common, and implies a "short-scar" facelift. The more standard incision continues up behind the ear, then extends out into the scalp behind the ear. Which technique is used depends upon each patient's individual anatomy, as well as the surgeon's experience and comfort level. You can find excellent surgeons that will have differing views on…

After Rhinoplasty my Nose Looks Even Bigger Than Before and a Hump is Now Present?

Post-op rhinoplasty concerns
Dec 30, 2010

It is much too soon after rhinoplasty to feel that what you see now is the final result. If you notice a bump that wasn't there before, in all likelihood this represents swelling. It is highly unlikely that your surgeon would have done something to make your bone appear larger. Talk with your surgeon in follow-ups and he or she can evaluate your concerns. Please be patient. Things should improve significantly over the next month, although it can take a…

Lower Transjunctival Blepharoplasty and Fat Transfer – How Long Will my Cheeks Be Hard and Swollen?

Swelling after blepharoplasty and fat injections
Dec 30, 2010

Swelling after a lower lid blepharoplasty and fat injections is completely normal and expected. At 7 days, most patients will still have at least some degree of swelling. Keep your follow-ups with your doctor, and try to keep your head slightly elevated, avoid strenuous activity, and it should steadily improve. It can take several weeks for the majority of the swelling to subside.

Untether Skin from Muscle to Fix Bumps/pitting Caused by Lipo?

Repair of irregularities from liposuction
Dec 28, 2010

Fat injections are helpful in the correction of irregularities from liposuction. If there is scar contracture causing a tethering effect on the skin, then release of this tethering is needed in addition to lipotransfer. The type of localized release of the skin needed for this is not likely to result in worsening of skin looseness or sag.

Breast Uneven and Very Depressing

Breast asymmetry after augmentation
Sep 28, 2010

Breast asymmetry is very common. Your surgeon tried to even out this asymmetry by filling the left implant with more volume, which is the appropriate thing to do. I'm sure that on the operating table, the breasts appeared very symmetrical. Your stress with your current asymmetry is understandable, and it's difficult to be patient, but you need to let the implants settle. This type of early post-operative appearance is common. Your left breast was…

What Type of Mini Lift is Safer and More Effective?

Types of mini facelifts
Sep 28, 2010

You have seen this stated over and over again on this website, but I'll join in the chorus – Please beware of the branded, marketed mini facelift procedures. They tend to have a very low rate of patient satisfaction. This is not because mini facelifts are not effective. If they are utilized for the correct patient (the appropriate type of anatomy and the appropriate expectations) and if it is performed with technical expertise, the mini facelift can be an…

Does a Breast Lift Always Result in Dramatically Smaller Breasts?

Breast lift with or without reduction
Sep 28, 2010

When performing a mastopexy (breast lift) on someone with very large breasts, I feel that it is necessary to perform some reduction of the breast volume as well in order to optimally shape the breasts. In patients with relatively small breasts, I usually do not need to remove any glandular breast tissue, and often the breasts appear a bit larger than they did before surgery, simply because we are lifting the tissue and, in essence, bringing it together which makes the breast…

Muscle Repair with Lower Body Lift?

Muscle repair in body lifts
Sep 28, 2010

When performing a body lift, an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is a crucial part of the procedure. The abdominal muscles are sewn together at the midline when performing most tummy tucks, and this is the muscle repair that is being described also in the body lift. When doing other procedures that may be part of the body lift, such as an inner thigh lift, we will suspend the skin/soft tissue to a deeper fascial layer (a layer of strong tissue just superficial to the…
