CLAIM YOUR PROFILEHello abonilla and thank you for your question. I rarely keep my mommy makeover patients overnight but it's something that should be discussed with your plastic surgeon.

Hello tdomingo6 and thank you for your question. Implant selection is based on your desired shape and size along with your breast and chest measurements. I think pictures speak for themselves. Bring several photos of "wish" breasts (on women with your frame) to your consultation. In addition, you could look for a surgeon with 3D imaging. This allows you and your doctor to get an estimate of what implant profile will fit your frame to give you the results you desire. Good luck!

Hello Dhathri and thank you for your question. Swelling with a tummy tuck can take several months to resolve. It's likely your abdomen will continue to flatten some with time but if you remain concerned you should followup with your plastic surgeon to address your concerns.

Hello edines23 and thank you for your question. Asymmetry this early in the healing process is expected. It usually takes several months for your skin to stretch to accommodate the new implant. It can be difficult to be patient but with a little time your shape and symmetry will continue to improve.

Hello Hopefulmommyof3 and thank you for your question. The yellow that you are seeing on your breast is likely bruising from your surgery that is starting to heal. After a bruise the hemoglobin and blood cells begin to break down and a sequence of colors develop. The yellow color is a sign the healing process is in it's final stage and should resolve within a few days.

Hello vickc08 and thank you for your question. It is possible to reduce the size of your areola and raise the nipple position slightly with a periareolar mastopexy (incision around the areola only). This type of lift will only lift the nipple position slightly so it is best to discuss your goals with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.

Hello testlwms and thank you for your question and photos. Your photos show incisions that are in the normal healing process. I recommend following the instructions your plastic surgeon gave you. Good luck!

Hello idlefit and thank you for your question. Your pictures show a common concern after many twin pregnancies. During pregnancy the growing uterus causes the abdominal muscles to separate- a condition called diastasis recti. Once these muscles are separated they can no longer do their job of supporting your back and organs. This is what leads to the round appearance of your abdomen. A tummy tuck can repair the separated muscles and remove any loose skin you may have giving your abdomen a much flatter appearance. I recommend consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. Good luck!

Hello Jesse2013,
Thank you for your question and photos. It appears you have a contracted right breast with the breast tissue falling over the implant and a less severe left breast contracture/ptosis. I would not suggest placing large implants (I consider 500cc to 600cc large) as they will continue to place traction and pressure on your breast tissue and skin for years to come. Unfortunately, I think your best option is a lift and procedure to address your contracture. Revision surgery can be complicated so please see a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Hello break,
Thank you for your question and photos. It is a bit confusing, but silicone gel (gummy bear) implants are used for breast surgery only. The FDA approved implants for butt augmentation are a soft, but solid implant and are not referred to as gummy bear. You are correct that placing fat over top and putting the implants behind the muscle instead of the fascia will likely "soften" the feel. Please visit your local board-certifiede plastic surgeon for further advice.

Documenting the beginning stages of my recovery post chin filler & chin/neck lipo. I'm almost 42 yrs old, weight has been stable for 20yrs (within 7-10lbs). So far happy with results! Will continue to heal, need to wait until about 3-4months until final profile is known. Dr. Moyer is awesome! Updated on 29 Dec 2020: Will start Morpheus8 skin tightening in two weeks. And researching filler to temple, tear troughs & to necklace lines. Will then assess if I got any skin tightening from x3 treatments of Morpheus8. If still not happy may do jawline filler and/or maybe PDO thread lift. Who knows..../ Updated on 30 Jan 2022: Going to seek out a PDO thread lift! Very excited!
I am so lucky to have had Dr. Moyer as my plastic surgeon for my facelift and necklift. Prior to surgery, Dr. Moyer explained everything to me, in words I could easily understand. He never talked down to me. Dr. Moyer kept my expectations reasonable. However, the results of his skilled hands are nothing less than incredible. Dr. Moyer is not only a skilled plastic surgeon, he is an artist. I am three months out, and the results keep getting better and better. Family and friends tell me I look 20 years younger, and just fantastic. Dr. Moyer's staff is also wonderful. Ashley, his PA; Sami, his RN; and Sara, his administrative assistant, who keeps everything working smoothly for all. Dr. Moyer and his staff treat patients like family!
I am so over the moon with Dr. Moyer and his staff. His bedside manner is so amazing, he's kind and so easy to talk to! I went from a small b and had two babies so i was super deflated in my chest area. We went with 535-545 cc under the muscle smooth silicone. I am 6 weeks post op now and already so happy! My right implant is taking a little longer to drop than the left one so I have to wear a bandeau to push it down. Otherwise, I can now hold my babies again and resume exercise and fill activity! If you live in the Black Hills area, there's really no need to drive out of town. Dr. Moyer is an incredible doctor and I'm so happy I chose him!
I had saline implants done 15 years ago. I am leaner than I was then, and was starting to have some rippling. I went from a nearly A to a 32DD. I had my saline implants exchanged for gummy implants, and went just a bit bigger. I could not be happier with both the results and with the doctor and his entire staff.
The results I have from my tummy tuck are amazing. The competence of Dr. Moyer and his staff put me at ease and this made the whole experience a breeze. Dr Moyer explained what he could and could not do with the procedure and this made the decision making process easy. Post op Dr Moyer and his staff were available for any questions I had. The medications Dr. Moyer used during surgery made the pain level quite tolerable and within 4 days I was off of pain medications.
I was comfortable with Dr. Moyer from the first consultation. He explained step by step and his crew was excellent from beginning to end. I was never happy with the breasts I had. I am very pleased with the end results of breast implants.
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Moyer and his staff. It’s intimidating and embarrassing to bare your body (that you are unhappy with) to a stranger, however this team was so professional, kind and immediately put me at ease. I ALWAYS felt like my thoughts and questions were HEARD, and the answers were explained fully and respectfully. I am so far very pleased with my results, even though I am still early in the healing process. I had an Abdominoplasty with liposuction an muscle repair, 100 pound weight loss, maintained for 6 years.
Dr. Moyer and his staff were incredible in meeting all my needs. From scheduling around my busy travel schedule, to his wonderful bedside manner. I had saline breast augmentation surgery over 10 years ago and they had to be replaced. I wanted them to look as natural as possible. Dr. Moyer worked with me and I decided to go with gel implants. The surgery was so much easier than the first time (I was off my meds after the first day). I feel so much better about myself and I love my new look! I would highly recommend Dr. Moyer :)
I cannot even begin to tell you how pleased I am with the treatment that I received from Dr. Hunter Moyer and his staff (especially Jessie and Yana). The process from beginning to end has been nothing but positive. All of my questions (and there were a LOT) were answered personally by either Dr. Moyer and/or his wonderful staff. I had several procedures done (abdominoplasty, breast lift and augmentation, liposuction of flanks and inner thighs) and even being only two weeks into the recovery process, I can tell you that not only is Dr. Moyer a genius in his craft, but I am absolutely 100% pleased with his work. The final story will take about 3-6 months as I continue through the healing process, but I already know that I will be happy for years to come!
Seriously don't look anywhere else. Dr Moyer and his staff are absolutely amazing. They call to check on you out of the blue, make you feel extremely comfortable, and answer the 500 questions you have. Best experience I could ask for.
