Doctor Q&A

33y/o female. 125 lbs, height 5'6.5 I had breast implants done Febuary 2025. I consulted several surgeons. Some said I needed a lift, while most said I did not, as my aerola was flush with my breast fold. Some said it was my decision, as I was on the border, or had low ptsosis. I opted not to get the lift, as I wanted larger implants, and dr said larger implants will give me the lift I need. I ended up getting 550 cc high profile round silk surface plus MOTIVA. I am not completely in love with the results. I wanted more wide implants, with more "side breast" width. I find them to be too projected, and too narrow. My natural breasts were more wide, and I feel like the side of my breasts now have excess skin on the sides, as they could have been more filled out. I also do not like where the breast is sitting on my chest wall. I find they are sitting too low, not in a sense that they are sagging, but the implant itself feels like it is placed low on the chest wall. Is this fixable? I dont want to have another surgery if I am being too picky, and this is just my natural anatomy. My question being, are my concerns justified in having another surgery? I was thinking about doing same cc - 450 -550 cc but with a different proflie, either low or moderate so I get more base diameter. It is hard to find clothes and bras because they are so narrow and projected. I also want them to sit higer on my chest wall.

I am a 40 year old woman interested in having fuller, slightly larger and perkier breast. I am 5’2” and weight 150lbs. My current cup size is really an A cup but I purchased B cup to support the side tissue. As a teen my PCP told I may have tuberous breast. They have always been strangely shaped, droopy and small. Gaining losing weight has made the situation worse. I am ready to finally correct this problem. My question is, what needs to be done? Implant and lift? Where should the implant be placed? I definitely want to avoid the waterfall/snoopy effect I have seen in my research.

I had fibroid surgery in Oct 2022 and had a c section cut. That left me w a pooch. I never had a pooch. June 2024. I had a hysterectomy and again still have that pooch. I’m 5’7 190 lbs. My Dr said yes lm a good candidate and I can get a tummy tuck and lipo to flanks and back. do I need to lose more weight will I grt a flat tummy After the tummy tuck?

I have always wanted a nose job but do not want your typical ”ski slope” rhinoplasty. I feel that it would not match my proportions. Instead, I want to keep my natural ethnic style nose, just smaller and revised. I will attach a photo I did to “mimc” this look and need a professionals opinion if this is a common end result!

As someone who loves the size of my nose, i love my small hump and don’t want it sremoved, would I be a good canidate to just a tip lift ? since I was younger the main thing that I always wanted to change about nose was the direction of my tip But I don’t want to commit to a full rhino plasty nor do i want to go under. I have been seeking surgeons who may offer just a tip lift under local. i feel like when I lift my tip of my nose in the mirror I look more feminine and softer. Image A is my current nose and image B is my edited “morph” nose of the change i am seeking. It seems most doctors want to really push for full rhinoplastys for the smallest tweaks.

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?

Hello. My question is should I do TT or BBL first. I’ve had a few consultations and I’m getting different answers from each provider. I’m being told that I don’t have much fat to work with so being suggested BBL first (so they can harvest the fat). Then others are telling me to do TT first, wait 6 months and then address the bbl. I’m conflicted because if I’m being told I don’t have a lot of fat, then if I do TT first, how would I have an optimal BBL surgery. Lookimg for some educated opinions as I really want to have optimal results with both surgeries being done separately. Thank you.

I’m 23 and weigh 110 pounds at 5’3 for height. Am I currently too skinny to get a bbl or if I could get one currently, would the results even be noticeable? Should I gain more weight?

After having 3 kids via csection, I’m looking to get my body back I am willing to travel but need advice on which procedures I need. Do I need lipo 360 or will a tummy tuck and lipo of the flanks be enough to give me a good hourglass shape and flat abdomen? I know combining both theres a limit of removing much less fat. Also terrified of doing a bbl but want to avoid looking “rectangle” is avoiding one possible?

Hi — I’m 31, I’ve never smoked, I’m very physically active, and I don’t have any health conditions or allergies. I don’t have kids and I’m not planning to. I’m currently around a 30DD and I’m wondering if it’s possible to reduce down to a small B cup. My breasts have bothered me since I was about 15, and I’m considering a reduction mainly for comfort — especially for the gym and for how clothes fit. Is a breast reduction possible at my current size, and is that kind of size change realistic?

I had a breast implant revision ans switched out my for 575 gummy implants. I notive that my implants move alot is this normal Im 7 months post op and feel like they move so much not my saline implants.

Hi I’m seriou considering A breast augmentation but I’m very worried to have a foreign body in my body. Will I trigger any autoimmune diseases? I don’t have a family history of autoimmune other than rheumatoid arthritis. Im worried about breast implant illness or cancers. What are your thoughts from your prior patients?

I had congenital symmastia prior to surgery (absolutely no separation, one boob). I am 5’5 and 125 lbs. I wore a 34c bra before surgery, though I could not fill it out and I had quite the gap. I met wit 3 doctors and decided to move forward with symmastia repair with liposuction and added a small implant. I wanted to maintain the same bra size, clothes and look like i got nothing done. I truly wanted petite breasts. I got Motiva 230 cc moderate profile implants, round smooth silk with the internal mesh Galaflex under the muscle —along with symmastia repair with liposuction. Since the surgery last year, I feel my implants look and feel so much bigger than I want. The cleavage seems very heavy and obnoxious. I’ve also had to size up in my clothes and tops (which I did NOT want). I feel like my breasts are just too big, which is the opposite of what I wanted. I truly thought I selected the right implant size and profile. I also feel there is less separation and I am worried the symmastia is back. My breasts are touching at the top. My questions: - did I select too large of an implant given my issues? I truly thought 230cc was on the small side. - would replacing and going smaller (150 cc) help? - can symmastia reoccur and did my tissues just grow back together? I am feeling so discouraged that they look so large and that they are so close together :(

I have one breast implant that has started flipping. What would be my options in dealing with this?

I’m 20 years old and thinking of doing liposuction to my abdomen and flanks. I have a BMI of 19, regularly workout, but have small stubborn pockets of fat on my belly. Is 20 an okay age to do it? I have heard many women’s body’s keep maturing until their Mid 20s so I’m not sure if i should wait, or if im too slim at the moment.

I am a 35 F 157 lbs. I lost 100 lbs over 2 years ago and i got a tummy tuck in 2023. I love my stomach but now i have some areas i am insecure about. I want to know what woukd be the best procedure to fix these areas. The back fat, the dog ears that was left from the tummy tuck, the fat pocket on top of my buttocks and the lack of lower glutes. I would like to just have a normal buttocks because i am petite in height and my butt doesnt fit my frame.

I had an upper blepharoplasty years ago and since then my eyes have looked very crepey and lax on the platform lid , my skin looks very wrinkly I’m only 31 and heartbroken about this. I can close my eyes but they feel tight but not skin wise it’s like the underlying structure is tight, I went to have a consultation And the dr told me my crease has been attached to the levator across the entire lid and told me I have no options to fix it. I believe someone can help and I’m not expecting my kids to look like they did prior but I’m sure some type of revision can fix.

I can’t decide if I need a lower bleph, a fat repositioning, a fat transfer, or just some simple filler, or a combination of those treatments. Bleph: I worry getting a bleph will only make my tear trough look worse since I’m removing volume in that area. I also worry that a bleph will make my eyes look very sunken and hollow. I personally like my eye bags and think they look plump and healthy. Filler: my injector says she would use a cannula and a very thin small amount of filler to smooth the transitional area. But of course, everyone SLAMS filler, especially in the eye area, so this makes me worry about migration or looks unnatural and even more puffy. Fat repositioning: this might be a good option, but I can’t find any before and after photos online that show me how it approved a deep tear trough. Fat transfer: I would consider this as well, but worry about my body absorbing the fat unevenly or just the unpredictability of fat. I don’t wanna pay a lot of money for something that has “we will see” results. I have had consultations with 2 surgeons for this and a nurse injector. All 3 suggest different things, OF COURSE. So it’s so confusing!! The first surgeon I saw was an eyeball surgeon, specializing in eyes and face. She suggested a fat repositioning surgery, but she is 4 states away and wanted 12 thousand dollars, and she didn’t have any before and after pictures of people who had this done that had a similar issue as me, so I didn’t pull the trigger. The second s

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

I have been thinking about upper eyelid surgery but then I am wondering whether it will be enough to open my eyes? I have very obvious extra skin on my eyelashes and a having a lower set brow does not bother me personally, as long my eyes are not covered by the skin. Can I do well just with the eyelid surgery (which is faster and less costly)?

I'm almost 72, and I understand that a midlift is appropriate for much younger women, but I had a lowerlift in 2018, which I think is still doing well. Could i be a candidate for a midlift?

I am interested in getting a facelift, unsure about the best type/ option. I am very unhappy with my nasolabial folds and jowls. I would also like my nose repaired. I had surgery done in 2006 for a deviated septum, but was injured after the surgery, which caused some curving of my septum tissue (see picture). I’m concerned about using only filler for the folds. I want something that looks a little bit more natural. Perhaps that transfer is a better alternative?

I am interested in your recommendations about rejuvenating my look by 10 years.
