Doctor Q&A

From submitted photos it appears your breast skin surface-to-volume ratio asymmetry is causing asymmetrical breast shape. This can be improved or corrected by a well planned and professionally executed office procedure under local anesthesia.

Most surgeons will be able to tell by your medical history and physical exam if a muscle repair will be beneficial for the outcome of a tummy tuck. The abdominal wall looses some of its elasticity once it has been overextended, like in pregnancies or after a large weight loss. One can also palpate the midline and the edges of the "sixpack" muscles. A rectus diastasis can be identified by physical exam. Some use radiographic imaging, like ultrasound or even CT. If a patient is physically fit,...

We don’t “move fat.” Migration often means the fat was placed in the wrong plane or in unstable tissue. The correction plan might include lipo in those areas and proper grafting to stable gluteal layers. It’s fixable — but safely, strategically, and with imaging.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question Running and other strenuous sports are not recommended for the first month after surgery. You should not engage in activities such as riding roller coasters at Disneyland.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

Hip and knee replacements do not automatically prevent you from having a mommy makeover. However, you will need to wait at least 6 months after surgery to ensure you have fully healed and regained adequate mobility. Full healing is important to safely undergo the mommy makeover procedure and optimize recovery.

We'd be happy to evaluate your current mobility and overall health closer to the planned surgery date to confirm that you’re ready.

I understand you’d like to go as large as possible and prefer to avoid a lift if possible. In some cases, it’s reasonable to start with an augmentation only to see how the breasts settle and whether you’re satisfied with the results.

After about 6 months, once swelling has resolved and the implants have fully settled, you can then decide if a lift (mastopexy) is needed to further improve nipple position or address any residual sagging.

It’s important to note that while larger implant...

Liposuction reshapes fat but does not correct cellulite, which is a skin and connective-tissue issue. In some cases it can even make dimpling more visible. If cellulite is a concern, I combine lipo with treatments like subcision or radiofrequency tightening when appropriate. Learn more on our liposuction page.

It is difficult to tell from the photos, but you may still have residual medial (inner most) fat pad prolapse that makes it appear that you are hollow adjacent to it. If that is the case, additional removal of the medial fat pad may correct the issue. If too much fat has been removed, a good corrective procedure is autologous (your own tissue) fat grafting to that area. You could do hyaluronic acid filler to correct the contour issues, however it is not permanent and can lead to additional...

Being so young you could get away with using fillers in cheeks, jaw line etc. However, if you want a more dramatic change then do a Lateral Deep Plane Facelift. A minilift can help but longevity is an issue.

It's best to wait 3 to 6 months after cessation of breastfeeding before having breast reduction surgery. Even if your milk production has stopped it takes time for your breasts to return to a stable state after breastfeeding. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more. I've included a video on the procedure that I hope you find helpful.
