25 y/o concerned about uneven, hollow eyelids. What are my options? (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Thank you for letting us know about your concern with this situation of your eyelids. It seems that you have some genetic predisposition to have this issue. However, you are too young to do the surgery. You can wait a little bit longer and you will be happier to do the resection of the skin on your upper eyelids nearby your 30s.

Will butt fluctuate as I loose and gain weight after a BBL?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Thank you for your question. After a BBL the fat cells will respond to weight fluctuations like the other fat cells that you have on the rest of your body. Also, weight fluctuations can cause flaccidity of the skin which is something that you don’t want to have after fat transfer.

Did I have Bilateral Breast Hypoplasia with Asymmetry?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Thank you for your question. After looking at your after photos is very obvious that one breast is bigger than the other. It is very important to always ask for the information of the implants that you have. All the implants will have an information card that your doctor have to give you. However, your surgery seems to be very recent. My advice is to wait at least six months to see your results after the swelling settles down.

How long do I have to wait after a TT with MR to start speed skating again?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Thank you for your question Mariarg. After a Tummy Tuck procedure i advise at least 3 months of post op before returning to regular exercise again. Even though you will be feeling great after 3weeks to a month it is best to give the body and the muscles the time to heal properly before challenging them with physical exercise again. I hope this answer helps you .

Weight lifting with implants - above vs under muscle?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
El lugar donde poner los implantes muchas veces es controversial y va a depender mucho de los casos de qué tanto tejido tiene la paciente para cubrir esos implantes y si la paciente tiene un buen tejido mamario que le dé soporte o no a ese implante. Cuando la paciente tiene muy escaso tejido mamario y también tiene un bajo porcentaje de grasa es muy probable que si los implantes se colocan por encima del músculo el resultado no sea tan agradable a la vista ya que podrá notarse la presencia de el implante el resultado no será natural. Hay que tener en cuenta que los pacientes que hacen ejercicios y tienen implantes por debajo del músculo puedes notar qué los implantes tienden a moverse con la contracción muscular y esto en algunos casos es algo que puede molestar. en conclusión entiendo que debes de conversar con tu cirujano sobre la posibilidad de colocar tu implantes por debajo del músculo en una técnica llamada doble plano para poder evitar estos inconvenientes.

Would I need a full tummy tuck or would a panniculectomy be enough to get rid of excess skin? (Photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Obviously you have excess of skin and fat but it seems like you also have loose abdominal muscles. Therefore you need a full tummy tuck with muscle repair. The biggest difference between a tummy tuck and a panniculectomy is that a tummy tuck actually tightens the muscles and removes excess skin and fat, while a panniculectomy focuses more on just eliminating the excess skin and fat, leaving the muscles out of the equation altogether. Have a great day.

I have excess loose skin around my upper and lower abdomen area. What can I do? Would a mini TT work? (photos)

You are a very good candidate for a Tummy Tuck surgery but if you would like to have children in the near future then its is best to wait until after the pregnancies. Best of luck

Do you think I will get good results from a mini TT and lipo to remove vertical scar and pooch? (Photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Thank you for your question and photos, you are a far better candidate for a full Tummy Tuck with lipo in all areas needed. You have quite a lot of excessive skin on the abdomen , above and below the belly button, and if you would like to get rid of the vertical scar we need to remove quite some skin as well. Best of luck

Amazing Doctor

I pride myself on being a big researcher and I did just that when I wanted to finally get my breasts done. I contemplated doing them for over 5 years and after being done having my three babies I made a move. The best decision I took was getting them done with Dr. Caputo. I told myself if I didn’t feel safe and secure with him I would just lose my deposit and it was the complete opposite he was very clear about his expectations and very clear about asymmetry possibilities and such. He was patient, answered all my questions, was honest and his staff was also very kind. Him and his amazing assistant Leidy always kept in touch and constantly checked in on me after the procedure asking me how I was feeling.

I can’t believe this is my body!

Embarking on my surgical journey in 2018 was a meticulous process. After extensive research on doctors in Colombia and the Dominican Republic, safety became my top priority. Dr. Derby Sang Caputo stood out; his impeccable track record, board certification with no incidents, and his reassuring approach addressed all my concerns. His kindness, patience, and professionalism made my first experience in this process seamless. Dr. Derby not only understood my vision but brought it to life. A month post-op, the natural look of my belly button and impressive results have garnered compliments. His exceptional staff, from Leidy's attentive coordination to Keila and Daria's magic hands in post-op care, showcased unparalleled dedication. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Derby, especially if safety and professionalism are paramount in your surgical journey. My experience surpassed expectations, from meticulous research to post-op care. For those considering a similar path, Dr. Derby and his team stand out for their expertise and genuine commitment to their patients' well-being. Updated on 23 Dec 2023: I had my surgery in October so it’s been 2 months. I’m still in my faja that at the beginning of this process I hated and now I can’t imagine being without a faja. I’ve had good and bad days, still getting massages 2x a week. Some days I’m in love with my body, other days I struggle. Still 100% worth it!
