Doctor Q&A

Thanks for your question! 6 weeks before surgery should be fine. If you are nervous, take a couple of extra weeks. Best of luck to you!

Thank you for your question.
You are a good candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction. Losing weight beforehand can help but isn’t always necessary.
The surgery will improve your abdominal contour and tighten muscles, though a perfectly flat stomach may not be guaranteed.
A consultation will clarify the best plan for you.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question.
Based on your description and photos, you may be a suitable candidate for a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck which is ideal for patients with excess skin both vertically and horizontally. This approach would help correct the “B-shaped” abdomen and provide a more contoured appearance.
However, if you prefer a less extensive procedure, a 270 tummy tuck can also be considered, which focuses on the lower abdomen.
A consultation will help determine the best approach for you...

The photos are limited for a definitive assessment, but based on your description, this concern typically falls within the scope of liposuction.
In slim patients who maintain a stable weight, a central indentation creating an upper and lower fullness is usually related to localized fat distribution rather than overall body weight.
If the issue is primarily localized fat, liposuction can help smooth the contour and reduce the separation between the upper and lower abdomen.
A proper...

Hello, as mentioned by previous surgeon colleagues, you are the correct candidate for liposuction with tummy tuck. However, if the tummy tuck scar is scarring you or you do not want this big procedure below is the advise.
Liposuction + Bodytite (inmode) + Morpheus 8.
you will get fairly good results but it wont be jaw dropping as you have lot of skin laxity which has to be addressed by tuck.
We routinely do Liposuction with Bodytite with Morpheus 8 at Centre for Cosmetic Surgery, Mumbai,...

I do not see any reason why you should not have rhinoplasty providing that you are in a good health? In person consultation with another plastic surgeon in your area may be your next option. Good luck.

The photos provided are not adequate for a reliable evaluation. Clear, well-lit frontal and side views are necessary to assess the nasal bones, dorsum contour and possible open roof deformity.
A vertical indentation between the nasal bones can be related to several factors, including dorsal irregularity, incomplete bone closure or asymmetrical healing. Whether localized rasping is sufficient depends entirely on the underlying structure.
If the issue is limited to a minor bony irregularity,...

Thank you for your question.
Based on your description and photos, you appear to be a suitable candidate for a BBL if there is enough donor fat for transfer to enhance gluteal volume and overall body contour.
For your breasts, you could benefit from a breasts implants revision to improve symmetry and shape.
A consultation would allow for a detailed plan tailored to your goals.
I hope this helps.

Hello, thank you for the question, Yes you can have very nice results with a BBL specially with all these techniques that we have available now, like the Ultrasound Guided BBL, witch after harvesting the fat that you have available in your body, i can, with the direct vision, used exactly in the areas needed to improve your results.

Congratulations on your weight loss! You look like an excellent candidate for a breast reduction. Given the overall size of your breast you may want to consider a free nipple graft to mitigate postoperative healing issues. In terms of your outcome, everyone will have fullness in the upper pole immediately after surgery from swelling. In most patients this fades and long-term maintenance of this usually requires an implant. That being said you have very full breasts and may have an enduring...

Hi there! You are a great candidate for a deep-plane Facelift with fat grafting based on your photos. This procedure would involve tightening the muscles of the neck that are causing the "neck cords", lifting and trimming away excess skin to refine the jawline (addressing jowls) and repositioning the facial tissues to a more youthful contour. Fat grafting will also suit you well to restore the areas of volume loss such as your temples, mid-cheek, nasolabial folds and pre-jowl sulcus. Hope...

You are correct to question the recommendation for Botox before a facelift procedure, but the WHY should be asked of your surgeon. Where will the Botox be injected? What are the target muscles and desired result? How can the results be evaluated early after surgery if they are superimposed on Botox effect? Will Botox influence assessment of facial nerve activity during the procedure? We often include Botox after Lightscalpel 4020 CO2 laser resurfacing to smooth facial skin and prevent...

From your photos you would be a very good candidate for a facelift and forehead lift. This should do a very nice job in removing the wrinkles and skin looseness over the neck, jawline, cheeks and forehead. A plastic surgeon that is proficient in facelift procedures should be able to give you a very nice result.

Thank you for your question. The answer to this question and those like it is absolutely no surgery at 28. Additionally, you do not have indications that energy devices or thread-lifts would help. A great diet, a comprehensive work out plan, adequate sleep, and minimizing stress would be far more beneficial for you.

Obviously pain and pain syndromes like yours are not well-known and studied in medicine. Therefore, I don't think anyone can definitively say whether you will get permanent long-lasting pain after any of these procedures related to your conditions. I can say that I have operated on people with those neuralgias before and as long as we kept them on their standard medications, they were absolutely fine and had no exacerbation of symptoms. However, that is completely anecdotal.

Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very...

Thank you for your question.
Based on your description, you may be a suitable candidate for targeted liposuction to reduce the stubborn fat over your rib flare area. In some cases, combining this with skin-tightening technologies like J-Plasma can help improve contour and achieve a smoother appearance.
A consultation would help determine the best approach for your goals.
I hope this helps.
