Revison Surgery W/ Strattice 5 Wks Post Op, Your Opinion? (photo)

History: reduction at 16 yrs, BA+lift at 21,& revision w/ strattice at 28. Pics are pre-revision, 3 wks post op, & 5 wks post op. I love my PS and I think there is a huge improvement from where I started but I still am unhappy w the shape of my breasts. I'm also unhappy w the asymmetry. Is this just my genetics? Or do u have any suggestions I can talk to him about for improvement? I almost like them better when they were swollen @ 3 wks bc they look fuller. Implants are orig high profile saline

The post operative course with Strattice is a little different then without it as the final shape is not evident for a while (few months). I would not do anything at this point but address your concerns with your plastic surgeon now and as healing continues. I think your doc did a great job with fold elevation. The asymmetries may go away with time. I have had to do some minor adjustments on a few of my difficult Strattice cases so after they heal you can discuss some tweaking with your doc.

Droopy Eyelid After Strabismus Surgery, Do I Need Surgery?

I had strabismus surgery on only my left eye 4 weeks ago. The alignment is fine now, but what I didn't expect is that now my eyelid droops. My eyelid feels like there is a weight on it that prevents me from lifting the lid all the way up. I did not have this problem before. Is this likely permanent? Would a blepharoplasty fix this? I had a previous strabismus surgery 25 years ago, and DID NOT have droopy eyelids afterwards.

When strabismus surgery is done a retractor is used.  If you have a slight weakness in the levator muscle it can be increased.  This may result in a slight drooping or ptosis.  It is a very rare occurence but can occur.  The treatment if that is the case is a levator repair.  This corrects the ptosis.  Discuss this with your opthalmologist to see if this is the case and would help you.  Good luck, Dr. Schuster in Boca Raton.

Which Breast Lifting Technique Would Be Most Suitable? (photo)

I have consulted a board certified PS & am in process of scheduling the surgery. Dr. has said for perkiest look go for a full lift w/ augmentation, and for a more natural look go with a donut lift w/ augmentation. Below are photos of the look I'm after & my own breasts. I know "perky" and "natural" have different definitions depending on each person. Which lifting would bring mine to the same position and shape? I know all breasts are different, I am simply going for that "style" in the pics

The most important thing for you is to give you the shape and size you want while minimizing scarring.  Without examining you that may be hard.  You appear to have mild ptosis.  If that is the case I would prefer to do a periareolar lift and implants.  You don't need large implants and they will help to lift the nipple areolar complex.

If you feel that they are still too low and want them higher you can always have a vertical lift done, probably under local.  I think you are a good candidate for periareolar lift with implants, but again, alot depends on the actual exam and your numbers (measurements).  Good luck, Dr. Schuster from Boca Raton
