Thank you for your question about lip filler and alcohol consumption. Consuming alcohol immediately before or after injections can increase swelling and bruising. It does not dissolve or reduce the actual filler that was placed. That said, alcohol can affect your body’s healing response, so most providers—including myself—recommend minimizing alcohol for at least 24 hours to optimize your comfort and recovery. To be sure, see two or more experienced aesthetic providers for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have filler. Hope that helps.

Thank you for your question about breast implants. Selecting the most appropriate breast implant size for breast augmentation is a personal decision that ultimately you have to make. An in-person consultation with implant sizing is best. It depends on your height, weight and breast base width diameter. To know what might be right for you, see two or more experienced, board-certified Plastic Surgeons for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have breast implant surgery, and to determine appropriate sizing based on your goals. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question about Morpheus. In general, taking ibuprofen a few days before a treatment like Morpheus8 can increase the chance of temporary bruising or swelling, but it typically doesn’t affect long-term results. The most important step is to let your provider know about any recent medications so they can advise you based on your individual situation. Hope that helps!

Thank you for your question about recovery from a tummy tuck. For specific questions like this and about your recovery in general, it is best to speak directly with your doctor or doctor’s representative – such as his or her nurse, or the physician on call for the practice. You will likely get many differing opinions from members of the RealSelf Community, but they have not personally seen or examined you. Nobody should know you or your unique set of circumstances better than your doctor. If you feel you are not being listened to or you are doubting your doctor’s recommendations, then it is certainly within your rights to seek a second opinion and get the advice from another board certified physician. This should be done through an in-person consultation with a thorough evaluation, including a review of your history, review of all prior treatment and with a physical examination. Obviously, if you think that you are having a medical emergency or other serious problem, you should call 911 and/or go to your nearest emergency room. Best Wishes.

ANSWER
Thank you for your question! Often times implant firmness can be a result of a capsular contracture. It can also cause the implant to be higher and/or a different shape. A capsular contracture occurs when the scar tissue surrounding the implant becomes hard and contracts. This can be painless or painful. Capsular contractures have are often times believed to be caused from genetics, a hematoma/seroma, or an infection/Biofilm. An implant removal and capsulectomy is necessary to address a capsular contracture. The capsulectomy removes the hard, contracted scar tissue surrounding the implant. To be sure, see two or more experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have Implant Removal with Capsulectomy. I hope this is helpful.
