CLAIM YOUR PROFILEYour pictures show a very nice result with your implants. Understanding that it is quite common to want to change the size of the implant after having the surgery. Going bigger does come with some trade offs. A larger implant does mean more weight to the implant that can cause long term issues with the breast shape and skin tone. Also, if you have a petite frame then the larger implant can make you look top heavy. More cleavage is difficult if your nipples are on the located on the outer portion on the breast since you want to have the implant centered over the nipple. See a board certified plastic surgeon and they can better answer your questions after a physical exam.

Surgery for whatever reason is a very important decision one has to make especially when you having it for something elective. 10 minutes seems to me to a brief amount of time to connect with the surgeon and decide something that you will be living with and not them. My approach is not set a time limit to the consultation and to make sure the potential patient is well informed. The preop visit definitely has some flexibility to it and you may or may not see the surgeon again. Bottom line you need to be comfortable with everything-surgeon and implant size- before you commit to something that you cannot change. Do not let the fact that you have paid for it come into play. You should be able to get refund. Good Luck

Looking at your pictures you do have some contour fullness in this area that could be improved. There a number of options to treat it including Coolsculpting, liposuction and BodyTite. My experience is that this will not be improved with a tummy tuck and can appear worse afterwards. The good news is that BodyTite can address the skin laxity is this area which gives a better result. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who has this technology and will know all your options better. Good luck.

Really the answer to you situation is to get evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience with body contouring. You appear to be in good shape by your pictures and an exam would determine how much of the fullness is volume vs. skin laxity. In my practice I see a fair amount of people like you and we treat them with Coolsculpting, Liposuction and BodyTite with excellent results.

Your pictures are very consistent with problems with the integrity of your abdominal wall. The abdominal wall is what gives the abdomen support and contains the contents of the abdominal cavity. I would get elevated by a general surgeon first and find out if your problem needs a hernia repair. Sometimes it is complex and a plastic surgery reconstructive approach will be needed.

Very good question to ask. This is a very common situation and the answer is really dependent on what your desires are at this time. Most women in your shoes prefer to go ahead with the augmentation and enjoy the benefits. Why wait years to get what you want today? Yes, there could be adjustments made later but it could happen anyway with changes that occur with time to your breasts.

After reviewing your pictures and understanding your concerns more than likely you will need an implant to achieve the volume that you want and reshaping with a lift to reshape the breast and reduce the areolar size. The distance between the breasts is difficult to change but can be improve with the implant pocket. The issue is to keep the nipple centered over the implant to give a natural shape. Find a qualified board certified plastic surgeon who can perform an exam and they can give you your best options.

Your pictures show that your breasts are out of proportion to your frame and you would benefit from a breast reduction. This is a very common situation and can be improved with surgery. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience with this type of surgery. My experience is that most women are very happy afterwards. Good Luck

Reality is that the results are subtle at best and most people want more improvement. A Sculptra vial is not cheap and to treat the buttock area it takes quite a few vials. Also, look who is doing these type of treatments. They are more than likely providers that cannot offer surgical options that will give you a more dramatic improvement.

Diastasis recti is usually the result of pregnancy especially a multiple pregnancy. The separation or weakness is directly repaired with a standard tummy tuck. In some situations the tissue is so damaged that it is reinforced with mesh to prevent it from happening again. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience with this problem and they can evaluate you to determine your options. Good Luck.

I had a fantastic experience doing a 360 tummy tuck A.K.A lower body lift with muscle repair, and breast lift with Dr. Hall. After losing 85 lbs I had so much loose skin and I knew Dr Hall understood what I needed and gave me an incredible outcome. I knew exactly what to expect and felt well prepared going into surgery. The pain was minimal, the patient care from his entire team is out of this world. This staff cares about their patients and it shows!
I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Hall two weeks ago, and I truly could not be happier with my decision. From my first consult, I felt safe and like I was in the best hands possible. Their entire staff is incredibly helpful and know what they’re doing. I wasn’t very educated going into my first consultation, and Dr. Hall explained everything very thoroughly, gave me more than enough information, and made me feel 100% safe! After my surgery, I couldn’t have been happier with the results! I’ve wanted to up my cup size since I was in high school and I’m very picky about how I wanted them to look, and I can’t honestly say I could absolutely not be happier!!! Dr. hall is an incredible surgeon. During recovery, I was texting his staff about every little worry I had, and they responded promptly every single time and helped me through it! I couldn’t recommend choosing Hall Plastic Surgery enough!!!
Choosing to do plastic surgery is both exciting and scary. I wanted to be realistic with my expectations and yet I wanted to select the procedure that would achieve the best outcome. During the decision process, Dr. Hall was detailed, informative, and well versed in comparing various options from non surgical to surgical solutions. I never felt pressured to go one way or the other. He wanted to be sure I got the result that I was looking for. And so it was important to him that I understand both the limits and possibilities for various procedures available. I chose to do a tummy tuck, and am beyond pleased with the outcome. I do think he is as happy about the results as I am myself ! thank you !!!!!!
This procedure helped me feel more confident in my attempts to turn back the aging process after years of sun damage and squinting! Buy buy crows feet and deep wrinkles! I highly Recommend this practice to anyone looking to build self-esteem And self-confidence. I am Very confident in my overall experience !
I'm glad to finally have the right size and shaped implants. The implants I had were too wide for my small frame. Dr Hall measured me several times and discussed the width of each type of implant and the pros and cons of each one. He decided to have several implants in the room at surgery to try on and make sure they met my goals. FYI, I was especially difficult as my natural breasts are very lopsided. I am no longer lopsided and my implants are in correct position and in their new pockets that he had to basically recreate, as well as patch a hole one implant created in my natural tissue. Perfect. Recovery was pretty easy and fast. I was working at my home office desk after a few days.
They are awesome! Dr. Hall did my botox the first time, and ever since then, I've been hooked! Sandy does my fillers and I never have any swelling or bruises (which speaks volumes because I've always had issues in the past with swelling and heavy bruising when I got my injections done elsewhere). I don't know how they do it, but they always seem to make time available to squeeze me in the same day, or the very next day which is amazing!
I have had urine leakage issues since before I ever had children. After 2 kids it was even worse. Anytime I sneezed, coughed or even tried to jog, I would have some leakage. I was researching options and read about Femilift. My favorite rejuvenation center (Hall Plastic Surgery and Rejuvenation Center) had their 9 yr anniversary event and unveiled the Femilift. I signed up for the next day to go in. After the first treatment- could already tell a difference. I started sneezing one day and ran to the rest room- but NO LEAKAGE! This is not a painful procedure at all. There are three sessions: a month apart. It is like having a Pap smear. A little sting and that's all. I did not have any negative side effects. Very satisfied and grateful for Dr. Jeff Hall and Tricia Hall!
I couldn't be more pleased! From my initial consultation with Dr. Hall, which was very informative and I got all my questions answered, to my post op appointments... I have been extremely pleased! My breast augmentation exceeded my expectations and I'm 100% pleased with the process and outcome! The staff are equally as amazing!! Very friendly and always willing to go above and beyond. I will definitely be back for any future procedures I may want/need!
I think this procedure has done the most to improve my body. The results were absolutely fabulous. I had loose skin from having children and weight loss. I was really nervous about this procedure because I knew it was a big one. However, as it turned out it was nearly as severe as I thought. I told Dr. Hall before I went in that I wanted him to pull me really tight and he did a great job. There was very little pain associated with this. I'm would describe it as extremely uncomfortable because you skin is pulled really tight and the tape over the scars is very tight. I would recommend to eat foods that do not cause swelling afterwards because you really need to keep the swelling down to help with the discomfort. I spent the first night in the hospital and I felt the tape was too tight so I had the nurse call Dr. Hall in the middle of the night. I'm sure he loved that but he was so nice and helpful. He just said it was normal and I wasn't used to feeling that tight and that he would visit me first thing in the morning , which he did. I love the results. I can wear so many things that I could not before. The scars are minimal and covered by a bathing suit. I was back to work in 1 1/2 weeks, but still taking it easy. Also, I think I wrote this review before and it was removed. I don't know why self help would do that. It is difficult to find a good plastic surgeon that isn't going to mess you up. I have been to several in Houston that was supposedly the best and they weren't. Dr. Hall had to fix some of their mistakes.
Just wanted to let everyone know that against other surgeons suggestions (they of course, suggest a full TT), I went forward with a mini-TT because I trusted in my own surgeon's opinion.... It looks fabulous. Muscle repair was done and a bit of skin was eliminated.... And I still have my "natural" looking belly button. And best of all, my recovery was SIMPLE. 4 days out and I'm almost back to normal again... whooo hooo!! Updated on 28 Dec 2014: now, i'm planning for me next revision... i went from 270 cc, saline, to 450 cc, silicone.. i'm still the same bra size that i was before and not happy. should i stay with saline or silicone? do my boobs even look "right"? what size do i ask for if i want to be in D cup... i was and still in a 34C at this time! ugh... Updated on 6 Jan 2015: I have a little swelling but still, much better and flatter! Updated on 4 Feb 2015: I was so caught between mini and full..... had muscle revision and skin removed. I like the fact that my belly button was left alone and recover time was very quick! :) Stretch marks are minimal
