Doctor Q&A

Hello. I do not want any other work done to my nose besides the slight hanging. I had a consultation and we agreed columella reduction was appropriate for my wants. But I am second guessing myself. From the front my nose looks super long until i poke at mu columella to see what it would look like it wasnt drooping there. I avoid taking pictures from eye level because of droop. Its not the entire tip drooping.

Age 30 and just now looking Into a rhinoplasty. It used to be more upturned growing up than it is now and I got bullied a lot. Even though I’ve grown into it a bit, I still get the ‘Button nose’ and ‘fairy nose’ as ‘compliments’. At this point i cant tell if its just a good fit for my face or if i should seriously consider rhinoplasty.

I’m considering rhinoplasty and would really appreciate professional feedback. My goal is refinement rather than a dramatic change. From your perspective, I’d love to know: • Would tip plasty and alarplasty alone be sufficient to improve the overall appearance? What type of tip plasty might be most appropriate in my case? I feel that my nostrils show too much and the lower half of my nose appears too wide. When I smile, my nose also flares and becomes wider. • Does my bridge appear low, and would bridge augmentation be beneficial? Would osteotomies likely be required? • Do you notice any asymmetry or structural issues that could potentially be addressed? I’m mainly looking for better definition and balance, not a completely different nose. Thank you for your insights.

I am unhappy with the look of my nasolabial angle and the flatness of my upper lip. I habe just completed teeth alignment with invisalign and have had filler for projection in my upper lip, albeit a conservative amount. Is this something a rhinoplasty could address?

I had traditional liposuction of the inner/outer thighs, lower butt and knees in 2005 and pleased with my results. In 2008 after childbirth, I had SmartLipo done in the same areas and it created significant skin sagging and dimpling that doesn't improve with exercise. I like the overall shape on my butt but can’t wear bathing suit bottoms or shorts because of the severe dimpling and sagging that is visible. I don’t know if BBL is the right procedure or what is?

I have a procedure coming up in a few days for 360 Lipo, extended tummy tuck & BBL. I have an inverted triangle shape so it will be nice to have some hips however I am so scared of the BBL. Is fat transfer to just hips safer than full transfer to hips & buttocks? Will my results look odd if I ask for just fat transfer to hips as I have a relatively flat bum? How about long term implications of fat transfer as we age? My priority is safety, TIA

I got a BBL about a year ago.... after the first 6 months I started to notice asymmetry. Long story short surgeon is impossible to reach. Its been 2 years and I have worst selfsteem than before my surgery. Before my surgery I just had no butt lol now I have a very deformed one, its like every day is migrating more into my lower hip and i cant do anything to stop it. Its crazy how ever since I got my bbl I dont wear anything thight or short dresses, or bathing suits. I used to go to the beach on a weekly basis now I have tl go sunrise to ensure nobody sees this mounstrosity.... can this be fixed with excersice?

Hello, I am 35 years old, healthy , 5’3 , 123 pounds, I don’t smoke or drink and I am physically active. I ‘ve had silicon implants under the muscle 280ml since 2013 and would like to remove them. I also would like to get a breast lift done and a BBL with lipo 360. However some providers say they do not combine mastopexy with BBL and others do. What are the best options for me? Do all together at once , explant with BBL and wait if I need a lift , or separate the breast procedures and the BBL ?

I am 35 years old, 5ft3 and 160lbs. I broke my neck 8 years ago in a car accident and had a cervical fusion. I had a breast reduction 3 years ago and it took me from a g36 to a d36. I still feel like they are too big and causing me more pain than i need. Would i be a good candidate for another?

I wanna know how small I can go from 38G with breast reduction and lifting, is it gonna be possible to see under my boobs after surgery? And will I need FNG to be C cup? Will I be able to breastfeed? And for armpit fat can I get rid of that fat while breast reduction or liposuction will be needed? Plus I’m 5”3 and 150 pounds. Should I lose weight before surgery?

Black female. My surgeon stated a free nipple graft is required if I want to go down to a D cup, from my current G cup.

After my breasts dropped I noticed wrinkling and sagging where my cleavage should be flat and smooth. I’m guessing the weight of my breasts is causing it and I’m really worried there’s nothing to be done. I went from 38 J to 34 DD though I had hoped to go smaller. This looks really bad in bikinis and low cut tops. please tell me it’s fixable!

Hello. I’m currently an AA cup and hoping to achieve a full B or small C cup. I’m 5’4”, weigh 94 lbs, and have a very petite frame. My question is regarding implant sizing. I was advised to consider 200 cc, but I’m concerned that this may be too small to achieve the result I’m hoping for. At the same time, I don’t want anything that would look overly large or disproportionate on my body. I’d love some guidance on what cc range might realistically help me reach my goal.

I am 46 years old my kids are almost grown and i want to look better. Am i to old for new brest inplants, my husband past away 4 years ago and i want to feel better about my body

Female, 39 years old, 121 pounds, height is 5’6. Skin type is very firm.

I am recently 40. My submusiclar silicone implants are almost 15 years old. I am winding down breastfeeding my third baby in 7 years, and over the past several months I have become aware of a slight flattening along the underside of my breast closest to the midline. It is more pronounced when my breasts are fuller with milk and softens after emptying. My OBGYN examined my breasts several months ago (knowing my concern) and didn’t seem alarmed. Recently I have read that misshapenness can be a sign of breast cancer, and I’m trying to determine if this sort of shape change could easily be explained by the combination of implants and lactation, or if I need to accelerate my next annual exam and have this reevaluated My plastic surgeon won’t see me until I’m done breastfeeding.

Hello! Looking through lots of Surgeons galleries for mommy makeover. I’ve narrowed it down to a couple surgeons. The first is very reputable and has huge galleries. Lots of amazing results. However, he has enough boxy breast lift w/ implants to make me nervous. It is important to me that everything is round in the front view picture-without angles or squareness. The second surgeon is also reputable but smaller gallery. All his breast pictures are very round! No boxy ones. He has about 50 pics in the gallery (half as mthe other doc). So more consistent results. If I was only doing breasts I’d likely go to him! But the first is a tummy tuck pro! And has gained my trust in that realm. I’d love to go to him ultimately but have a hard time with his semi-frequent boxy look. Can he avoid this look if I tell him it’s important to me? Is there a certain best type that is more at risk for boxy appearance.

Hello, I’m a 37 year old woman who had a kid a year and a half ago. Before pregnancy my boobs were round and perky (C cup) and now they look deflated . I’m wondering If I needed a lift or not, As my nipples are not that low. I would prefer to have just implants, to avoid the scars. I went to a surgeon and he told me I needed a lift, with the “anchor” scar and I don’t like that idea too much. What do you think? Thanks

I'm looking to go quite large, as large as I can go honestly. I don't mind some sagging or drooping but wondering if I could get away with just a crescent lift with implants?

Hi I am getting a breast lift with implants done I am trying to decide on 475 high profile or 500 moderate plus but I was wondering if there was a chance I could go a little bit bigger than 500 like maybe 550cc I would like to know what would my max be

Hi, How long does it take for swelling to resolve after liposuction on front thighs and knee complex? I had outer thigh lipo before and looking into get front thigh and knee lipo now. Outer thigh healed nicely and most of the swelling was gone in 2 months. Will the swelling time be different for these parts? Thanks!

46yo healthy F interested in abdominal lipo with breast lift and transfer. Would like to slim waist and enhance hourglass figure. Is lipo enough? What type if so?

I’m a 27-year-old female with a very petite frame. I’m 5’0” and around 97 lbs on average. I’m Caucasian with a fair complexion. I don’t tan much in the summer, but I also don’t tend to burn easily. I’ve been trying to research cosmetic procedures that could help give my body more shape, specifically something closer to an hourglass figure. Because of my naturally small frame and low body fat, I’m having trouble determining what procedures might actually be appropriate. Almost everywhere I look or people I’ve spoken with immediately suggest liposuction. However, I’m unsure if that makes sense for someone with my body type since I’m already very thin and likely don’t have much excess fat to remove or transfer. I’m not looking for any drastic or dramatic changes to my body. I don’t want to look or feel disproportionate or ridiculous, either. I just want to achieve noticeable curves/definition or shape in general to my figure. Because of my small frame, that is more of a v-shape (shoulders broader that hips+thighs), I often struggle to find clothing that fits in a flattering way, and improving my overall shape even slightly would be a big confidence boost. What procedures would typically be recommended for someone with a very petite frame and low body fat who wants to achieve more of an hourglass shape? Are there options besides liposuction that would be more appropriate or successful?

Almost 2 years ago I had a breast reduction with an anchor scar. Very happy with my results and my scar is basically invisible. However the surgery left me with a fat roll just under my breast that goes around my whole torso into back fat (I will also be getting full back lipo). My PS recommended we use the exciting scar for the incisions to target the upper abdomen area. I’m wondering if this incisions along my anchor scar will somehow alter the roundness of my breasts after the fact and make it bumpy on the bottom? Also, Will going in from the side to avoids the breasts incision reach this problem area that is just over my ribs? I do not want upper abdomen incisions they are visible. Willing to take advice in best entry points to successfully target this area while remaining discreet.

I am 48 years old and need advice on how to reduce or get rid of my hooded eyes. Open to options.

I had incision and curettage surgery on my left upper eyelid at the start of September for a chalazion. The surgeon made three incisions. More than 6 months later, I still have the original lump and also a new one that is larger than the original lump. My eyelid shape is now distorted, constantly inflamed and irritated, and has mechanical ptosis. Every time I blink there is irritation, which feels like it is coming from where the incisions were made. The surgeon who performed the procedure dismissed me at the follow up consultation. I’m really unhappy with how my eyelid feels and looks. I'm struggling with day to day life due to the irritation and it is only getting worse. Can anything be done to fix this? Thank you.

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
