Doctor Q&A

Hi there! I would love to get an inquire about my actual situation. I have had pregnancy before, and I always had breast smaller and I’m looking forward to get a breast augmentation soon but my main concern is that my areolas are too big. Although I dont mind them at all, I dont want to reduce them but is it still possible to get a breast augmentation without lift or areolas reduction in my case? I just want larger breast with implants and not looking forward to reduce my nipples .

I’ve had my implants for over five years, and recently I’ve started hearing a sloshing, water-like sound when I move. Everything else seems normalthey look and feel fine, but the noise is worrying me. What could be causing this?

Hello! I'd really like my boobs to look good again as they are not where I want them. Docs, I'd like your evaluation and what procedure options. Thank you very much.

have always been petite at 5’3” and around 112 pounds. About a year and a half ago, I had breast augmentation. I started as a large A to small B cup and chose 285cc implants placed over the muscle to reach a C cup. Since then, I feel like the implants have dropped. I have very little cleavage, and even when I wear a deep V or low cut top, my chest still looks flat. I am trying to understand whether this is due to my natural body frame, the implant size, or the placement. I am wondering if something went wrong with the placement or if this outcome is typical for my build.

Can I still have a tummy tuck with this kind of scar. I had a Ramstedt's operation (or pyloromyotomy) when I was baby 3 months old , so scar is 40 years old now, would there be any complications?

My doctor says my tummy tuck surgery will be challenging due to scar tissue from 2 past liposuctions done 20 years ago, that I may not get as smooth or as tight a result. I am 70 years old, no pregnancies, fit, BMI 21. I don't know if I should have muscle tightening. Have not read anything about past lipo presenting problems and would like to understand this better. Am I not a good candidate? Don't PS's deal with this all the time? Pics are w/tummy pulled in & tummy relaxed.

I’m 5’6”, 120lbs, workout 5-6 days a week, am toned but have a little loose skin around my belly button due to 3 pregnancies. I have had an umbilical hernia repair that needs to be repaired again, diastasis recti, and have had a partial hysterectomy. I have constant low back pain from “holding in my core” all day, every day. And wondered if a tummy tuck, hernia repair, & muscle repair would help strengthen/tighten my core and give some low back relief?

I am 15 months post surgery from a full tummy tuck with muscle repair due to stomach muscles loose/diastis recti after 4 pregnancies. I haven't start any exercises until 3 weeks ago when I hired a personal trainer to assist me with working out 3 times a week. My tummy was flat and contoured before my work out. I just decided to work out to stay healthy and tone other parts of the body. I had not gained weight during my recovery to present. My weight on the day of the tummy tuck surgery was 180lbs and right now I flactuate between 160lbs and 163lbs. However, I have started to notice that my stomach doesn't have that inner tight pulled together feeling anymore as I progressed through my work out routine and I have noticed my tummy is slightly protruding and not as contoured. It also feels very sore and sharp pricking sensations after work out. Also during workout I feel like my stomach muscles are stretching, like I'm undoing the work my surgeon did. Is it possible that by working I am actually hurting my tummy tuck results even though I started working out 15 months post surgery? Also do you think wearing a compression garment or waist trainer can help? I hust don't want to damage the results of my tummy tuck in the name of exercise. Please help.

I am a relatively thin stature/ built person ( 5’4 120 lbs ) and was wondering if it’s even possible for me to get a bbl?

Seeking help. I feel I have a nice shape but since having my son I do have a little bit of an apron belly. I feel like my butt is still there but at this point, my tuummy sticks out more than my butt. Suggestions? (I want more children within the next few years hopefully.)

Will weight loss and a butt lift/bbl help fix my uneven saggy bum? I hate it so much I just want it to be round and shapely. I dont even mind if it’s fat, but it’s just so uneven. Why is it uneven? Can i fix fhis with exercise???

Hello, I am 20 years old. I have wanted to have a lower hairline my whole life. I am taking a year out of university so before I felt it is a good time to do the hair transplant because I can stay at home and take a break from wigs . Also I am looking to have a bbl later in the year but I have to research more before I decide. I found out that it is recommended to do the brow lift before the hair transplant. Do you agree? I wanted to ask again if it is better to do my blepharoplasty and brow lift before or after my hairline surgery. So now I'm looking to do the brow lift and blepharoplasty in February and the bbl in around May, and the hair transplant in a year . Would that be enough time with the anesthesia and how best should I sleep? As I understand with the bbl it is best to sleep on front and with the brow lift it is best to sleep on your back. Or are these surgeries just incompatible and need more time apart? Thank you so much. I would love to hear your advice.

Hello, so i had a closed rhinoplasty with a surgeon and i am now 2.5 years post the surgery. I have thick nasal skin also. I am concerned because I’ve had this swelling on the sides of my bridge (and some on the tip) and I am not sure if it’s normal after all this time. I tried sharing my concerns with my surgeon but he didn’t want to discuss it and was very dismissive. I would love to just get a peace of mind that I haven’t been botched and that this swelling will go down in time.

In what situations would a columellar strut–only tip support be performed as a standalone procedure under local or IV sedation?

I have been interested in a Rhinoplasty for a while. I spoke to a surgeon and he said that with my narrow nose, I risk having a Michael Jackson type result when I'm finished. My goal is to get rid of the dorsal hump. But I don't know if the risk is worth it and no one has been able to give me an idea of what I could expect as a successful result.

is it normal for a surgeon during a rhinoplasty to trim the anterior septal angel and not just lower the bridge of the nose? I am attaching a picture and drawing the area I saw a surgeon trimming the front part also of the septum in a video and the septum was not deviated. This does not create a problem for tip support? the first picture is the original and the second picture is how the surgeon trims the septum and the lower part as well.

I'm 37 years old, breast fed my two babies, and am 5'6", around 150-155lbs (my comfortable weight) and 34DD. Between breast feeding and pregnancy weight fluctuations, I'm left wanting a tummy tuck and breast lift to address sagging, deflated breasts and excess skin on my stomach, however I have hEDS. Does anyone have experience performing the procedure(s) on a patient with connective tissue disorders? I'm curious to know about expected wound healing and scars. Thank you!

I did a consult with a Dr that wants to do breast lift, 360 tummy tuck/body lift, lipo, and bbl all in one surgery. I did a consult with a 2nd doctor that said it’s too much in one surgery. Which one is correct? I want the best results possible but i am scared that the recovery will be too hard.

I would like to schedule a mommy makeover for beginning of March. Can I set this up in timeframe? Healing time before work?

I have recently gotten my nipples pierced, and i would like to get a breast reduction in 3-5years time. i know the piercing would have to be taken out during the procedure but what about after surgery can they be put back in? nipple piercings close really quick even if fully healed and i’ve looked online and everywhere says something different. i would just like to know if i’ll still have my piercings by the end of it or will i have to get them repierced?

I’m currently a 34B (UK sizing) and wanting breast implants that are either 34DD or 34E. However I am wondering if this would affect my sternum tattoo.

Will implants under twilight improve my breast appearance? I don't want to get a lift under general anesthesia, do I have to? My boobs are saggy. I'm 35 with 2 kids over 5 years old.

Surgery was 1 year ago With fat transfer to area. How do I fix this?! Overall, the under eye itself looks so much better. But my eyes are uneven and I’m very self conscious now. Is there a way to lower the lid?

I have this issue with my eyelids for years now. I do remember they did not always look this way. Which side is normal? Why are they like this? Is it just swelling? I’m not really sure what doctor to go see first as well or if I just go straight to a surgeon. Any insight would be so helpful thank you in advance. I just feel like a monster and this is my biggest insecurity

I am 55 years old and unfortunately experienced significant facial fat loss after undergoing RF treatments a few years ago. This has left me with flat cheeks and visible dents, as well as a pulled or uneven smile caused by a dent above the smile line. In January 2025, I had hyaluronic acid filler placed (½ syringe on each side), which did help, but only to a limited extent. While I did notice some improvement, my cheeks are still quite flat and the dent affecting my smile remains. The filler seem to have now gone. I’m feeling unsure about what treatment options might work best in my situation and would really appreciate advice on how RF-related fat loss and smile distortion can be addressed safely and effectively. Thank you very much for your time and guidance.

I plan to get a neck and fact lift at some point. I know everyone suggests doing it all at once, but for discretion and life it would in some ways make more sense to do it in stages. Is this a terrible idea? I just don't have a life where I can disappear for a month or go out in public and have questions.
