Doctor Q&A

A year ago I had breast augmentation my original bra size with 34 a I went to a medium 34 c. I went with a 365 cc after doing research and finding out that that was a medium to large increase. Could my muscle mass have something to do with them appearing smaller? also i am 5’7 120lbs

Hi I’m considering a breast augmentation, I primarily have very little tissue to start with and an A cup. I Imost likely will be going with a dual plane placement. I also have asymmetrical breast in size so I will need to compensate for about 20 cc between the right and left side. I have considered both saline vs silicone. Most doctors prefer silicone. I do fear a silent rupture and I’m very claustrophobic in MRIs which is the reason I considered saline (due to the fact of obvious deflation if ruptured). I have noticed most doctors discourage using saline due to its feel and rippling. Are there people out there who are still choosing saline? Is BII more prevalent in salines? Are high definition ultrasounds sufficient to detect silen ruptures in silicone?

36 yr old female, im 5'0 and 162 lbs my goal weight is 140lbs. ive lost 36lbs (previously was 198lbs) I have a lot of visceral fat i believe. Would getting down to 140 be best before i get a tummy tuck? Or should i lose more weight?

Hello there, iam looking to get a rhinoplasty to make my nose straighter. Would i benefit from one?

Which type of procedure will suit me most? Alar reduction, tip rhinoplasty? Also is my nose kinda asymmetrical?

HI, I know alot of surgeons do a tt same time as bbl, but if you have the time to recover, isn't it logistically safer and better to do them separate to allow for better healing. When sitting on bbl pillow, aren't you putting pressure on lower thighs and cutting off some circulation to buttock?

I'm 38, have had 5 pregnancies (1 c/s), and have lost about 100 lbs. This has resulted in significant skin sagging everywhere, and loss of volume in my butt. I'm 5'4" and about 120 lbs. I initially was thinking of getting a BBL, followed by a separate tummy tuck - the main reason being concerns about recovery (how to sleep when you can't lay on your tummy OR your butt?). It also seemed logical to me that you would want to have some fat in your abdomen to harvest for the BBL, so I was planning to do the BBL first. But when looking at patients with similar body types after significant weight loss, it seems like lower body lifts are being recommended. I'm fairly certain my butt is too saggy to "re-inflate" from BBL fat transfer alone, and that no matter what, some kind of traditional "lift" will be necessary for my butt, due to all the loose skin. Would I be a candidate for a lower body lift? Can a lower body lift be combined with BBL? The loss of butt volume is my priority concern (TT would be secondary), and it seems like a lift alone would help tighten up the skin, but would not help with butt volume. What procedure(s) might help give me the results I am looking for?

I’m a 35-year-old and I had a pregnancy when I was 16 and through the years I’ve been gaining and losing weight and I feel very uncomfortable with my body specially, my breast after I had my baby my breast got saggy and has been bothering me for years. Do I really need a tummy tucktuck? I’m planning on losing more weight. It’s been hard. It’s not easy anymore. I do want my back and waist to look slimmer and I’ve seen that some surgeons make the belly look with muscle and pretty. I don’t think I need a BBL but maybe a lift would be OK cause I do have good volume in my butt. I am very worried about the tummy tuck scar. I’ve seen some are pretty bad and I’ve seen some doctors make i the scar look thin. I do have a scarf from a myomectomy from 2024. I’m curious to see how much will it cost me in what I need in my body. Thank you.

How effective is this procedure please

I got my breast augmentation in 2018 in Medellin Colombia by Juan Diego Mejia Jimenez. i got 425 ccs gummy implant placed under the muscle. Ive been pregnant twice since my surgery in 2018 My first pregnancy i had no complications, my secong pregnancy my nipples started leaking clear fluids. At first the leaking would come and go but now there’s more fluid. The fluid is clear/slightly yellow and it makes my nipple stick to my bras and pulls the skin off the areola. What should i do? I got my breast augmentation outside of my country and to my knowledge , the surgeon who performed on me no longer does breast augmentations.

I want to schedule a facelift but I have high blood platelets.…587,000. Had had blood tested several times over a period of 6 months and still high. I have been referred to a hematologist. I don’t suppose I can have the surgery until I know what is going on. What do you say?

Hi, I am a 36 year old female and for some time now I have noticed the right side of my face appears to be ‘lazy’ and wondering what could be causing this or if it is just part of the aging process? The left side of my face is still quite youthful and tight even though I have always slept on my left side. It is particularly noticeable when I smile and you will see in the photos my right eyelid is lazy and my right lip and cheek droop down which causes a puckering of the skin around my mouth on that side. Wondering what surgical options could help with this? Or should I wait until my 40’s and have it corrected once I am ready for a full facelift? Thank you

In 2021 I have my large intestine removed and reversed , I now have a jpouch I wanted to know can I still have a lipo

The right eyebrow and cheek constantly feel like they’re flexing and working hard to keep my eyelid with extra skin open. I’ve always had this extra skin but it’s gotten worse over the last 4-5 years. To the point where I experience chronic sleepiness soon after waking up that makes it hard to function daily. Photo one is my usual facial stance (tight, flexing) and Photo two is a relaxed position.

hello, I have an eyelid that lies lower than the other. I know that things such as spacer grafts exist for correcting it, but I am also wondering if it is possible to do the opposite and rather than bringing the one eyelid up bring the higher eyelid lower, such as a lateral canthoplasty?

Dear all, I am getting married next year and of course I’d like to look my best self! I got an eyelid surgery 3 years ago because I had uneven eyelids. Now, I am left with scars longer than my eye lid fold and a very round eyeshape. Before they used to be more almond. overall, I am quite disappointed in the final results I will be visiting Vietnam this year and was thinking about getting a revision done. My question would be: is It possible to remove the scars with eyelid revision? I was thinking to only have the outer eyelid fold worked on to minimize risk that it will become worse and change the shape of my eye. After my first surgery i am very scared of undergoing this surgery again with even worse Results, but I am also not happy with the current state. :( Perhaps there is a non-invasive method that could work for me too? Thank you so much I will be looking forward to your answers!

Iam so lost and self conscious what is best eyelid surgery should i get to make my eyes look better should i even consider orbital rim reduction upper blephroplasty what can i do ?

31 year old female, newly postpartum and breastfeeding. I asked here before if a temporal brow lift would correct my hooded eyes. Now I’m wondering if just a bleph would be sufficient as I read it can be done under local anesthesia where I am breastfeeding. I have found over the last 4 years my eyes have increasingly become more hooded where I look sad , tired and makeup doesn’t look right. I’m not sure if it’s my brow falling from my brow bone or if excess skin.…. Possibly a mixture of both. my right eye had a uveal melanoma which was treated with brachytherapy over a year ago which is why it looks retracted. That eye also seems to have more excess skin since the treatment. Any recommendations for a treatment plan from surgeons including lasers etc is greatly appreciated. I’m getting married May 2027 and want to look my best.
