Hi, Implant placement is almost always preferred below the muscle. It is likely that the surgeon that you choose will tell you the same. Best of Luck, Ari Hoschander, MD

Hi,  We use crisalix 3D imaging and find it to be very accurate in most patients who do not have much breast sagging (aka ptosis). In your case crisalix 3D imaging should be pretty accurate. But it’s important to note that this also depends on the skill of your surgeon. 

The single most used incision for breast augmentation currently is the inframammary fold incision. It dwarfs the other incisions combined. The reason for this is that there appears to be the lowest risk of capsular contracture and the best potential for excellent implant placement.

Unfortunately, stretch marks have more to do with your skin quality and your genetics. Larger implants and more weight will also contribute. Try to stick to a smaller implant if possible. Ari Hoschander, MD, FACS

Your nose looks great! Looking at your preop and your postop photos, your surgery was quite successful. Any perceived fullness at the dorsum of your nose will likely improve with time. Swelling can remain for up to a year. 

This is definitely one of the more interesting questions I will answer... Of course there is risk to your nose if you are boxing!! ;)  But what I think you are asking is "is there any increased risk to breaking your nose after a rhinoplasty?"  The answer to this question is that after a year after a rhinoplasty, in which the bones were broken and re-positioned, the healing process has completed. Ie. the bones are pretty much as stable as they are ever going to be. That said, the bones after being broken and set will never have 100% of the strength they had before the rhinoplasty and, as such, will always be more prone to breaking again.  So best advice is... Dont get hit in the nose regardless of whether you had a rhinoplasty or not!! As always, its best to see your plastic surgeon in person to give you specific details regarding your postoperative care.

Thank you for your question. Some bruising after breast augmentation can be normal. The question that needs to be answered is whether there is any ongoing bleeding or collection of blood in the breast pocket. It does not seem that this is the case based on your photos. However, the only way to really rule that out is with an in-person exam by your plastic surgeon.

Breast implants are considered very safe and this has been backed up by many medical studies and research.Perhaps what you are referring to is free silicone injections into various parts of the body. This is often performed by non-doctors and in non-safe locations. This practice should be abandoned and not performed because there are many complications with it- too lengthy a discussion for this forum.As always, it is best to consult in person with a plastic surgeon.

Juvederm and Restylane are fine to use in the cheeks but many injectors prefer to use the thicker products for cheeks- Voluma (a Juvederm product) or Perlane (a Restylane product) or Radiesse (a completely different product).As always, it is best to consult in person with a plastic surgeon.

A consultation with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon will hopefully answer all your questions. In general, reshaping a nose to match the rest of the face is the goal for rhinoplasty surgery. Lengthening, shortening, widening and narrowing and various other changes all possible in the right candidate. Definitely make an appointment to see a plastic surgeon in your area.Best of Luck!‘This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.
