ANSWER
Your photograph is very limited. However, there are 2 problems that stand out. One is the vertical distance between your hairline and eyebrows is too great. You would benefit from a brow lift to lower the hairline. The second problem is the distance between your lip and nose is too great. The lip lift I recommend is an eccentric lip lift, not a bullhorn lip lift. This does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. This takes 1 hour to perform under local anesthesia and costs $4,000. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

At size 34, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. 400 cc will take you up 4 cup sizes. 400 cc implants weigh 1 lb. each. Remember implants are not lifetime devices. Since you are so thin the implants cannot go in front of the muscle so they will have to be placed behind the muscle to avoid the appearance of "stuck on balls". Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Your nose is crooked and you have a bony prominence or cartilage. This needs to be revised and the tip needs to be corrected with an open rhinoplasty. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

ANSWER
I recommend a breast lift using the Bellesoma. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief and long term stability. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired.

You need to be cleared by your cardiologist for your chronic disease. Also, if you have incontinence then it needs to be evaluated. Tightening the muscle could make the situation worse. Once you have been cleared for surgery then a tummy tuck can be done. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

ANSWER
You do not appear to have enough skin for a full tummy tuck. If you did a full tummy tuck then the scar would be riding very high and be highly visible. You may have enough skin for a mini tummy tuck, which is the central area. The other problem you have is the contour irregularities of the abdominal wall. This can be corrected by tightening the skin using the mini tummy tuck or using a liposuction cannula or Vaser. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

ANSWER
This is not a Festoon, this is excess fat. You would benefit from a lower blepharoplasty with fat transposition. You may also benefit from an upper blepharoplasty as well. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

ANSWER
Your breasts do not appear tuberous. Fat transfer can be done if the fat is taken from the inner thigh or lower abdomen. Fat transfer is usually good for approximately 1/2 a cup size and can be repeated. The problem you have is that you have very small volume breasts. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

ANSWER
Breasts have 2 components: breast fat and breast parenchyma. Losing 10-15 lbs. may or may not have any significance. Unfortunately, you have not provided any photographs or told us your bra size. The most important factor after explant is the need for a breast lift. The technique I recommend is explantation and breast lift using the Bellesoma. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
