Can I Have a Second Tummy Tuck After Hysterectomy?

5 yrs. ago I had a TT and then #yrs after that unfortunately i had a hysterectomy where they had to cut thru my scar because my ovaries where imbedded in scar tissue due to endometriosis. is it possible to have a second tummy tuck or a mini ?

It is possible to redo a Tummy Tuck if there is enough skin and tissue to pull closed.  In my San Antonio office, I sometimes see women who are not happy with their Tummy Tucks years after surgery done elsewhere.  Often times, we can make things better with a mini-abdominoplasty.

Are my Breast Implants Way Too Far Apart? I'm 1 Month PO. (photo)

It's been one month since my breast augmentation procedure. I'm happy with the size and shape, though I would consider going slightly larger. Part of the reason I would consider going larger is in the hope that the gap between my breasts would be minimised. Changing sizes would cost a great deal of money, which I'm hesitant to go through with. Are there any alternatives? Do you think they are too far apart? Any honest advice would be greatly appreciated.

From your photo, it is difficult to assess them given that your arms are up.  I would continue to allow your implants to settle and for your skin to stretch.  From your photo, I think that your implants will be very well positioned.

Be patient and continue to follow with your PS

I Am Very Short Waisted and Need Help with Excess Fat Around Tummy and Thighs, Good Options?

Can't exercise much do to med issues, and meds which also caused weight gain. I really need to drop 38 lbs. All the fat is on my tummy and my thighs. Mostly inner part. My butt is ok, mostly. I need this done. If only for movement.

Liposuction is a good way to lose isolated pockets of fat, but not as a way to lose weight.  For patients that are overweight in San Antonio, I often recommend a medically supervised weight loss program.

Some patients have found CoolSculpting a good non-invasive way to get things kick started.  With this technique you probably will not see a huge change, but it is easy enough to do and will take about 2 hours of your time (1 hour each thigh).
