Your nipples are located below your breast fold. For this reason, a lift would be recommended for you.

Thanks for your question. I can usually diagnose Diastasis recti on physical exam and that can determine if you will need muscle repair or not. Based on your pictures, it does not seem like you suffer from Diastasis recti. However, if you have had pregnancies and children, it can be common to have mild Diastasis recti. Furthermore, it seems as though you do not have a significant amount of skin laxity or loose skin, therefore you could also benefit from a mini tummy tuck.

Great question—most of your result happens in the first 6–8 weeks. You control a lot of it with prep, surgeon choice, and how you protect the grafts while they “re-plug in.”
Before surgery (sets the stage) • Stable weight for ~3–6 months; avoid crash diets after surgery. • Absolutely no nicotine/vaping 4 weeks before and at least 6 weeks after—nicotine chokes the tiny vessels your fat needs to survive. • Control diabetes/thyroid/iron issues; high-protein diet (about 1.2–1.6 g/kg/...

Hello! Thank you for your questio.
As far as I can understand from your question We recommend that you do not wear glasses for 3 months after surgery. It is important to consult with the surgeon who performed your surgery about this matter, as each surgeon has their own procedure.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

Thrifty204085,Does your mommy makeover include a breast implant or mesh? I would be especially cautious in those situations not to let bacteria in your blood stream seed your implants causing recurrent infections and ultimately the loss of the foreign bodies. You will need to be cleared by your dentists as infection free prior to surgery. The mouth is full of bacteria. When the mouth is instrumented during a dental procedure such as root canal, there is transient escape of bacteria through...

Thanks for your question! Seeing that you are two years out, there isn't a lot you can do at this point unfortunately. I'm sorry! Best of luck!

Hi madisonvvvl! Thank you for your question.

Unfortunately, grams of tissue removed and implant volume in cc don’t directly match — 400 g of breast tissue isn’t the same as a 400 cc implant. Natural tissue has different density and distribution, and implants project differently, giving a distinct shape and feel.

The exact size of implant required will depend on your remaining tissue, skin elasticity, and chest width. During consultation, your surgeon can use 3D imaging or sizers to find ...

Thanks for your question. Based on your photos, it looks like you may have a combination of skin laxity (loose skin) and some excess subcutaneous fat (pinchable fat). The crease on your abdomen can be a consequence from both of those things. I believe you would be a great candidate for a combination of liposuction and a tummy tuck. The fat that we obtain with liposuction can definitely be transferred to your breasts. Don't hesitate to contact us and schedule a virtual consultation.

Morpheus8 and similar energy devices must be used with extreme caution. These devices, especially when used on the face, will melt the fat and cause damage to tissues and deep structures. A lower blepharoplasty will correct dark circles and under-eye puffiness.

A deep plane facelift will not affected your prior silicone injections in your nasolabial folds and lips, as these areas are not in the area of dissection. Your result from your previous injections should be maintained. This is also true for your neck lift, ie, your neck lift won’t affect your injections. I have not heard of an “endocrine lift” in any plastic surgery journal or at any meeting. This is likely a marketing ploy created by a surgeon trying to create the impression, they ...
