QUESTIONS ANSWERED

From your photos I cannot tell if you have an open roof deformity. Your skin is moderately thick in that region and you may still have some swelling. Typically it is easier to palpate an open roof deformity in someone with moderate skin thickness than it is to see it. Also an open roof deformity does not necessarily widen your nose, so again an exam is necessary. Please discuss with your surgeon or seek a second opinion. Good luck!

How long is a rhinoplasty consultation?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
This really depends on the complexity of your rhinoplasty, your questions, and the surgeon's questions. For most cases, this takes about 15-30 min, but if more time is needed then that is ok. You should feel like you have all of your questions and concerns addressed by the time of the visit. Sometimes a second visit is necessary to further discuss goals and expectations of surgery.

You mentioned rhinoplasty, but did you also undergo a septoplasty or functional aspect to improve breathing? If not then the surgery should not affect your ability to breathe and the difficulty could be caused by something else, such as congestions, masses, prior deviation of the septum, concha bullosa, etc. You need to be examined to find out. Please seek a consultation of a nose specialist in your area for further info. Good luck! -David Mattos

100% disagree. Your breast ptosis is pretty significant, and it needs a more significant lift than a donut mastopexy, or you will be left dissatisfied. Additionally, outside of very small breast lifts, a donut hole mastopexy can negatively impact the shape of your breasts, whereas circumvertical and wise pattern mastopexies typically do not impact the shape in a bad way. Consider a second opinion with another surgeon you trust, has good results, and is board certified in plastic surgery.

1 in 19,000 is extremely unlikely! I would not worry about it. Additionally, breast lift surgery does not require paralyzing drugs, and therefore if you were in any way light under anesthesia your body would move and the anesthesia team would put you deeper under anesthesia to make sure you're not awake or uncomfortable. And to be clear, even when patients move slightly under anesthesia, it does not mean they are awake, simply a marker that the anesthesia is started to wear off and needs to be redosed. Talk to your anesthesiologist about your concerns. Good luck!

A lot of surgeons use local anesthesia when able to because it makes the procedure more affordable for the patient. In my practice, I prefer to do most of these under general anesthesia for comfort also, unless the breast lift alone is very small, only involves the areola, and perhaps a small area around that. Otherwise the patient may be uncomfortable. If your surgeon is hesitant to use general anesthesia, I would recommend meeting with another surgeon for a second opinion. Good luck!

Those are all great questions. The good news is that you do not have to do anything. It is not harmful, and bottoming out to some extent after surgery is always expected. Some people bottom out more, and some of it has to do with tissue quality. If you're thinking of getting pregnant, I would not recommend surgery before pregnancy, as pregnancy is highly likely to impact your outcome. Once you have your kids and finish breastfeeding (if you choose to go that route), then you should meet with a plastic surgeon to consider your options. That way the result will last much longer. Good luck!

In need of a breast lift revision? (photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
I agree this is not an ideal outcome, but it can only be compared to your preoperative photos to have a better idea. Otherwise we're comparing them in a vacuum. Your breast tissue has limited volume, so no matter how great the lift is, it may still look a bit deflated. If that is what bothers you, you may benefit from an implant. If you're just bothered by the loose skin and not the volume, then a breast lift revision may be worthwhile for you. I recommend sharing your concerns with your plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Unfortunately, these two issues (breasts and hernia) are unrelated and I would not suggest having a breast lift if you're hoping that it will help with your hernia. If your hernia is causing trouble I would recommend hernia repair. If the breast ptosis or size bother you, then I would recommend first doing a breast lift or breast reduction.

You have small breasts. I do not see a tuberous breast. They fit your body and body type. If you wanted them to be larger you could always get breast implants, but I would not do that simply because someone told you they're not "attractive." Only do it if you are bothered by their size. Ask a plastic surgeon for advice if you're considering an implant. good luck!

The Best Surgeon Ever

I had an incredible encounter with Dr. Mattos! Everything went well from start to finish, and I got fantastic results. Everything was ready and in record time. I only needed to show up. I've desired this operation for more than 5 years, and after speaking with a friend of mine she recommended him. I looked more into his IG and came upon Dr. Mattos. I knew right away that I wanted him to perform my surgery. My insurance covered me in two weeks, and I went to surgery a month later. I am really appreciative of Dr. Mattos and his team. I am so grateful for Dr. Mattos' genuine concern for his patients! I will never stop praising his efforts and generosity to everyone.

Everything was seamless from beginning to end

I had the most amazing experience with Dr. Mattos! Everything was seamless from beginning to end and my results are amazing. All I had to do was show up, everything was taken care of and in record timing. I have wanted this surgery for over 3 years and after consulting with 2 surgeons, I did more research and found Dr. Mattos. I immediately knew he was the one I wanted to do my surgery. Within two weeks, I was covered by my insurance and a month later I had my surgery. I am so grateful to Dr. Mattos and his staff. Dr. Mattos truly cares for his patients and I appreciate that so much! I will always rave about his work and kindness to anyone that will listen!

Painless rhinoplasty to fix deviated septum and breathing issues

Dr. Mattos is a gem. Day 1 after rhinoplasty has been painless. I had a severe deviated septum with breathing issues, and he was able to alter my nose shape along with treating the health concerns I had. I am so grateful to have gotten my surgery done by such a caring individual who does his best to look after his patients. Thank you again Dr. Mattos, you’ll always be remembered.
