ANSWER
Dear Foozball With your anatomy, a full tuck with a long scar, repair of muscle and a long not short horizontal scar will get you into a 2 piece. Dont push for short scar as no one sees it and its covered by underwear, swimsuite. Instead push for a low horizontal scar. YOU will do amazing!!
Asked By: Tasteful4799
ANSWER
Dear TastefulI believe in your case a physical exam is crucial because determining the degree of skin laxity is a very important part of assessing the quality of your outcome. In your case, the issue would also be what would you wear or do that you don’t do now... hence, is the improvement in quality of life worth undergoing surgery? I expect a full tummy tuck will noticeably improve the upper abdomen but with the trade off of a lower abdominal scar. Look for an experienced and well trained plastic surgeon, see more than one consult so you can make a well informed decision.
Asked By: brooklyn1977
ANSWER
Dear Brooklyn1977Thank you for sharing your photographs. You are a great candidate for a tummy tuck to remove excess abdominal skin and stretch marks as well as tightening your abdominal muscles. Combining that with liposuction will give you a tremendous improvement in shape and contour. Look for an experienced and well trained surgeon who is certified by the American board of Plastic surgery. See more than one consult and make an informed decision.
Asked By: tinacali
ANSWER
Dear Tina In many cases, it has taken time for the elevens to develop and there is underlying volume loss. The neuromodulator helps with motion but won’t replenish the lost volume. Assuming your injections were done properly and with the right dosage, adding volume in the form of a filler in the lines can be a tremendous help in giving you a smoother and softer look. Look for an experienced and knowledgeable injector to help you achieve your desired look . Sincerely Afshin Parhiscar MD FACS
Asked By: Genius2789
ANSWER
Dear Genius2789 In my view, the best way to make that decision is to compare the elasticity of the right and left breast. if they are reasonably similar, then an augmentation will go well. An examination by an experienced plastic surgeon will be very helpful in assessing the risk of how well the burn side will expand.Sincerely.Afshin Parhiscar MD FACS
Asked By: Tworthy8049
ANSWER
Dear TworthyThe risks associated with rhinoplasty not only depend on the nose itself and the surgeon but also on the goals of the patient. For example in your case, reducing your dorsal hump and narrowing your tip via a closed rhinoplasty would be easy. adjusting for the alar base asymmetry in vertical height, very challenging. Overall, based on what I can assess from photographs, you are a candidate that will do very well with your rhinoplasty. Take your time to determine your actual goals. I find digital imaging extremely helpful and I would recommend you use that to better appreciate your possible outcomes and aesthetic. Look for an experienced surgeon, certified by the american board of plastic surgery of facial plastic surgery. see more than one consult and make an educated decision.

ANSWER
Dear BrendaBreast implants can take time to settle and form their pockets. You are in the early phase of that process. In most cases, 70 to 80 percent of that process takes as long as 3 months. be patient. it will get better ...In my practice, I would recommend breast massage at this stage to help expand your implant pocket.
Asked By: sarahclarke1
ANSWER
Dear CupcakeceriIt sounds like you are going through the expected course of recovery from a rhinoplasty. As the swelling of the upper two thirds is reduced, the lower third will proportionately look larger. That is normal. the lower third swelling will go down in the next few weeks. It takes nearly one year for most noses to settle to final shape after rhinoplasty.
Asked By: Lyn in OR
ANSWER
Dear LynYour crease may change by becoming less deep or completely going away but it is unlikely to tear or give you any problems. If you have a scar that looks like a crease, then it might need to be addressed directly.
Asked By: viviooo
ANSWER
Dear vivioooDeprojecting the nasal tip is one of the aspects of rhinoplasty that is challenging and has to be considered carefully. In general, based on the limited view available, some deprojection can be achieved by reversing the maneuvers that narrowed and raised your tip. releasing the domes and some of the tip support is a start. The details would depend on your exam and what was done at your first rhinoplasty. Before committing to a revision make sure you and your surgeon know what your goals are and what are the likelihoods of achieving those goals with low risk.
