I found Dr Braithwaite on Real Self. Just looking for docs that do gynecomastia surgery. I went to his website where he has a lot more pics of clients results. I thought his work was pretty good and him and his staff are pretty transparent about pricing. When I got there, it was a very nice consultation. He really takes his time. I asked how much extra it would be to do my double chin at the same time, he said $1000 extra, and ended up reducing the cost to $600. And he did a lot more than just the double chin. He lipo'd the lower half of my face and jawline. I gained some corona weight and started to get a bulldog appearance. I'm very swollen one day after but I can see the difference. I'm already happy with the results. I booked an appointment for my flanks and stomach before I left, for 6 weeks later.
Brian is by far not only the most talented with facial fillers and Botox but he is absolutely amazing at breast augmentations . The best! I have also had Lipo on my belly and arms with brian. Amazing results! Brian is different than the other plastics in that he has an amazing bed side manner. He follows up on all procedures with a phone call to see how you are doing. He's just wonderful. I have been going to brian since 2004. The best in chicago. Thx brian!
I had great results with dr Braithwaite! I had breast augmentation little more then a year before. Dr Braithwaite was very professional, he took time to answer all my questions and I felt very confident with him. I height recommend to meet him for a consultation and you'll see what a good doctor he is.
I have been considering lipo for so long and finally did it. My only regret is not doing it sooner. I consulted with 3 different doctors and read hundreds of reviews online. I decided to go for a consult with dr brian braithwaite after reading 5 star reviews on yelp. He was so nice and made me feel so comfortable. I knew I was going to go with him withing minutes of meeting him. He spent nearly 3 hours with me discussing everything. The day of the procedure I was a little nervous but again he made me feel great. The procedure was pretty painless except for some slight discomfort when I was being numbed. However a small price to pay for removing fat in less than a few hours. His assistant althelia (sp) was amazing. She saw that I was nervous and really calmed me down. His secretary gordana was great too! After the procedure I saw results immediately. I couldn't believe how great I looked. The next day there was a lot of swelling but I read so many reviews I knew to expect this. Now 2 weeks out the swelling has gone down dramatically in my thighs and I Love love love how I look in my jeans. My arms are still a bit swollen so I will update on that later. Please feel free to ask me any questions! Good luck! Don't let bad reviews scare you. It was such a painless process and so worth it.

I am currently a 34 B, but I mainly wear push-up bras because I'm very small. Because I'm a tall girl, I've been concerned about sizing and what I should choose. Initially, I wanted a very subtle change that would just add a little more to my top and would feel a little more proportional. At that time, I was thinking of about 286 cc implants because I wanted a modest change. After doing a bit of research, I noticed that a lot of taller women go up bigger in size and can still have a very natural look, so I spoke with my doctor and ended up deciding on 371 cc mentor implants. I am 4 days away from my surgery, which is scheduled for January 16th. I would like my breasts to be as natural looking as possible and soft. I hope to be a large C cup when completed or a small D. The only thing that scares me would be the thought of having a huge gap in between my breasts. I am hoping for the best. Updated on 12 Jan 2015: I just want a nice, but modest chest size . Nothing outrageous or obnoxious.
While recovering from an abdominoplasty or a TRAM breast reconstruction, the pubic area and genitals can remain swollen for some time, due to their dependent positions. If retained fluid is the cause of this pubic swelling, the edema will resolve in time and no exercises will speed up this process. Massage and support garments may help control and reduce swelling, but sufficient time to heal is essential. If you are many months out from the procedure, this prominence is likely excess fatty tissue and liposuction would help to improve it. Your reconstructive surgeon can certainly address this issue; it is very common to revise certain areas after the breast mound has been created. Without photos, your description does not sound like a hernia or abdominal wall laxity issue. I hope this information helps.
Yes, a 400 cc augmentation with or without a lift is quite large on a smaller person like yourself. This size increase may also affect your comfort while running. It's very difficult to discuss cup sizes without photos or an exam, but you would certainly gain at least 2 cup sizes with 400 cc implants. I recommend you spend more time with sizers in a surgeon's office before signing up.
Intra-abdominal fat cannot be removed by either liposuction or tummy tuck. Only subcutaneous fat can be removed with these procedures. Subcutaneous fat can be pinched when you tighten your abdominal muscles, intra-abdominal fat cannot. This simple exam determines who is a good candidate for these abdominal procedures. A patient with a distended abdomen due to large amounts of intra-abdominal fat will not have a good result from either liposuction or a tummy tuck. Ideally, patients should be at or near their ideal body weight to avoid disappointing results. Hope this helps.
Don't get liposuction in the face of any ongoing HS infection! This would be an unnecessary risk for a soft tissue infection. As for recovery and garment use, garments seem to control swelling and most patients feel less vulnerable when their tender areas are covered. Garments do not change the final result. In your situation, simplicity is key. I would recommend a mere binder for the abdomen and flanks and a sports bra for the bra region. Either can be removed as needed if discomfort or irritation arises. The groin should be left alone.
Redundant skin after liposuction is a concern when the skin elasticity is poor. Stretch marks are a major contributor to poor skin elasticity and recoil. Advanced age doesn't help either. Your surgeon likely has concerns about your skin quality and should be able to state why he or she is so concerned. Do you have loose, redundant skin in the upper abdomen now, in the "full" state? Is the belly button readily visible? Truly redundant skin with poor elasticity almost always needs to be removed and tightened. Losing more weight first would be ideal because your surgeon can comment on the skin changes arising from that deflation. Hope this helps.
