Doctor Q&A

Hi, I’ve had 3 different consults and only 1 surgeon suggested over the muscle, the other two suggested dual plane. I am leaning towards dual since it has been suggested twice and because I don’t think I have enough breast tissue for OTM. However these are my concerns. 1. dual plane - i am wanting to eventually go back to doing shoulder presses and pull ups, but worried of the implant moving 2. Over the muscle - I just don’t think I enough breast tissue to make the implant look natural, worried of rippling Either option I would be doing Motiva approx 285cc. I’m approx 11.5cm width and about a 12a/b. Would love some advice as I’m quite stuck.

I am 30 years old and have one child via C-section. I have lost 71 lbs since giving birth and currently weight 175 lbs. I have some abdominal separation (diastasis) and a little loose skin. However, I have very prominent hip dips. I have received two quotes from two different doctors for a tummy tuck and BBL done at the same time. My question is, should I combine the surgeries? How safe is it combining this surgery?

My nose isn’t crooked. My nostrils are large, from the front it’s somewhat bulbous. I just want a more feminine looking nose that’s not too invasive.

I am 31 year old male, current weight 180lbs and I have lost 30lbs recently and prior weight loss of 50lbs about 10 Years ago. I’ve lost volume in my butt and it’s become somewhat loose and squishy, I have been thinking about surgery for my abdomen and chest for many years but now I am considering this also. I’m not looking for a major change but I’m thinking a little more volume is what I’m looking for. Would this be recommended doing with some abdomen and chest work? What would be the best route for my abdomen and chest? I am in Arizona and have not had any consultations.

For some reason I keep feeling a electricity running through my legs up to butt and becoming swollen I have new fat should I be worried, because I am. My Dr. canceled my appointment before I could go to my 1 year follow up, the girl that called said I didn't need to ask any more questions. It feels kind of like a laser going up my let. If anyone answers it would be helpful.

Recently lost 70+ lbs 5ft 157lbs now and I’m wanting to get a bbl but unsure if I should get a tummy tuck or bbl first? Some surgeons advised I do tummy tuck first then lipo with bbl but wouldnt that make me have loose skin on my stomach?

Hi, Please give your honest opinion on when I should safely fly (3.5 hour flight) after mummy make over (abdominoplasty, liposuction and breast reduction). I have booked my surgery (in Istanbul) and current plan is to fly home 7 days later but I am concerned that this is too soon and could risk complications. Thank you, Melina

What does "fellow" mean on a American boards of cosmetic surgery diploma? Does it mean they are board certified? Less certified? More certified? I'm freaking out my mommy makeover is coming so fast I should know these things right?

I am struggling to explain what I am wanting during my consultations. I am currently a DD and would prefer to be a C cup. However, I would also like fullness in the upper breast and don’t want to have to rely on a bra for cleavage. So, I want to be approximately a C—but I don’t want the deflated upper-pole appearance I see in many reductions. I want noticeable upper-pole fullness and projection, while still having a natural breast position and contour. I don’t want them sitting excessively high or looking large or obviously implanted. Is this even a possibility? Many consults have told me that a lift with implants defeats the purpose and I 100% understand that too. I am 49 yo, healthy female. Please help!

Hi there! 26 year old female. I love the facial slimming I get from masseter Botox, but I’ve developed increasing jowls, marionette lines, and a more hollow/indented appearance above my jaw. I’m wondering whether there is a way to maintain masseter slimming without worsening these changes. My treatment history: * First treatment: 40 units total — I loved the result. * 4.5 months later: Just 20 units total because I was worried about jowling, but this didn’t noticeably reduce my masseters. * 2 months later: 40 units total + Nefertiti lift along the jawline — this is when I began noticing jowling and marionette lines. * 3 months later: 40 units total + another Nefertiti lift along the jawline — afterward, the jowling and marionette lines became significantly worse. Now my face looks considerably more gaunt, followed by a noticeable indentation/hollow area and then a bulkier, sagging lower face around my jaw. Before these treatments, my cheeks looked much fuller and I did not have these jowls or prominent marionette lines. I love the narrower face I originally achieved with masseter Botox, but I don’t want the hollow cheeks, jowls, and marionette lines. Is there a way to continue maintaining small masseters without causing this sagging? And if not, what can I do to fix this while continuing Masseter Botox? I’d prefer more long-term, reliable solutions rather than temporary ones like filler (for example)

I am a 43-year-old active woman (crossfit 5 times a week) and other activities. Over the last year, I have noticed a dramatic change in my cheeks and nasolabial folds. I have tried injections but they seemed to have lasted less than 6 months and cost me a small fortune. Would love your thoughts on what my best solution would be. Fat grafting? PDO threads (although I'd like something long term), facelift etc.

Hi! I have originally thought 310 cc. Doing Natrelle soft touch, moderate profile. Stats: 5’2, 105 lbs, 14 breast width diameter, breastfed 3 babies. Currently a deflated 32A if that. No volume on the top..pretty flat, slight volume on the bottom. Wondering now with my BWD if I should be doing a 330 or 345? Any advice! TIA

I had a breast reduction over a year ago through insurance and about 400 grams was removed from each breast. I terribly miss the size and regret the reduction. If i get 425 cc implants will they be the same size as before? do grams of fat and cc of implants correlate in that way?

I have teardrop silicone breast implants. Around June 2026, I noticed that my left breast had become significantly firmerand seemed rounder and more projected than it had previously been. I was concerned that I might be developing capsular contracture. What has confused me is that a few weeks later, my right breast seemed to do essentially the same thing, and the change in the right breast felt very sudden, almost overnight. I’ve attached comparison photos from July 26 and September 15. Both sets of photos were taken after I had already noticed the initial change, so the July photos are not true “before” photos, I do have an appointment for breast imaging, I'm just curious what else it could be? As it doesn't seem like it fits the definition of CC.

Hi, I had my implants replaced 14 years ago. They look weird now and I’m wondering if something is wrong? Occasionally, I will have pain in my left breast. I get regular mammograms and do breast self exams so I know I’m OK in that regard. Any ideas what might be wrong with the implants? Should they be replaced ?

I had lost 28 pounds of weight back in 2014-2016 over 2 years but the lower belly fat just wouldn't budge..need an opinion on whether I'll have loose skin after liposuction or not. Please guide me and also if there's any non surgical way to tighten skin without the adverse side effects such as fat/ skin necrosis.
