After losing weight, I still had some loose skin hanging around my waist. Dr. Fisher performed a tummy tuck and now my stomach is flat! The recovery was much easier than I expected. I had heard that this was a painful procedure and was nervous but Dr. Fisher and his staff were so helpful and made the entire experience stress free. Thank you Dr. Fisher!!
After having several consultations with other local doctors, I decided on Dr Fisher to do my upper eye lift. I'm so glad I did! I could not be happier with the results. What an improvement, but not so drastic that everyone knows my little secret. I did not want the wide open eye look and got just what I was looking for. Thank you Dr Fisher for giving me exactly what I wanted!!!
My initial impression of this surgeon was phenomenal. During the initial consult he thoroughly explained and gave me all the pros/cons and what results I could expect from my procedure. I presented a somewhat difficult case. I have endured several breast augmentation revisions over the past 13 years due to various complications from surgeries performed by other doctors. In fact, I had consulted with a local surgeon in Memphis who charged me $100 and then said he was sorry but he would not be able to help me! Dr. Fisher came to my rescue and did an extensive surgery including lowering the implant pocket on one side and raising it on the other. We both agreed that we would reduce the size of my implants and change the position from under the muscle to over. Lastly, I went from salines to silicone gels...so a complete overhaul so to speak! I was very relaxed the day of surgery and felt I was in extremely capable hands. The post-op was not nearly as bad as others I had experienced. Now that I am 5 weeks post -op I am really starting to see just how incredible the results are turning out. I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Fisher and it was worth every mile I drove back and forth from Memphis to Nashville! I highly recommend Dr. Fisher and his staff.
I was very insecure about my nose and chin while growing up as a teenager. I had been researching getting plastic surgery from my late teens and by the time I was 22 I felt ready to have it done. I was particularly insecure the way my nose was "humped" and wanted a straight masculine nose with a slightly refined tip. I emphasized to Dr. Fisher I wanted a "straight-straight masculine nose" many times out of fear of having a ski slope nose I have seen done on other males (and females). Dr. Fisher reassured me that he wouldn't "scoop out" my nose as he put it. I still remember thinking the term "scoop" was interesting because typically I think of scooping as something related to ice-cream and not noses. However to reinforce what I wanted I gave Dr. Fisher a visual representation of my expectations (words can only go so far). I brought my macbook into his office and on Photoshop Elements I warped my nose and chin into the desire I wanted. I still remember him joking that he should hire me to do this for other patients. Again, he reassured me that nothing drastic would be done. This made me feel at ease at the time knowing I had a surgeon who seemed to understand what I wanted and that this was going to be a natural non drastic change. I signed my consent forms and agreed to surgery. Dr. Fisher shook my hand, and I thought I had made a good decision. After surgery, when I had my nasal cast removed I was totally confused at what I was looking at. From the frontal view the nasal bones along bridge of my nose seemed to disappear into my face, and most shockingly the tip looked fatter and asymmetrical. From the profile view my nose did not have the straight masculine look I wanted, but instead had a slope that I repeatedly said I did not want. The left side of my nose looked bulbous whereas the right side of my nose seemed more indented after surgery. Dr. Fisher said this was a good result and my old nose was "goofy". I was trying to hold back tears, until I couldn't. I understand a digital computer simulation does not guarantee that exact result, however I feel it gives the surgeon a good idea of where and what to operate on as well as give the surgeon my expectations. However after the surgery my radix area (where my nose meets my forehead) was unchanged in my before picture and after the surgery it was sloped. Additionally there is more columella/nostril show, something I didn't want or expect. Also after surgery Dr. Fisher told me he "fixed" the area where my nose meets my upper lip. We never talked about that before surgery. I remember being 22 just crying thinking he just did whatever he wanted after I went under anesthesia. At another follow up appointment I cried again and told Dr. Fisher I didn't like this look. He sent me to another surgeon to get a second opinion about the outcome of the surgery. After being charged a consultation fee the surgeon basically told me my result depends on what Dr. Fisher and I talked about before surgery. At another appointment he suggested sending me to a clinic to have dermal fillers injected into my nose to help with the sloped appearance. But I was confused why was I going to have temporary dermal fillers put into my nose when I had this surgery to have a permanently straight masculine looking nose. I also feared having it done because I thought what else could happen after having this surgery. I wanted a board certified plastic surgeon for a permanent straight nose, not a nurse or tech to do temporary fillers. So I never got the fillers done. My chin implant seemed to be an improvement from the frontal view however from the profile view my lower lip angle (where the lip meets the chin) looked increased and I do not like this look. I feel the lower lip angle actually makes my chin look weaker in profile. After about a year of having the chin implant in, I felt a popping sensation on the left side of the implant while eating. The left lateral wing of the implant was loose. Several months later while eating dinner the right lateral wing of the chin implant did the same thing. It didn't deviate a lot from my jaw a lot and I was afraid to see Dr. Fisher again so I have lived with it. I had friends who were excited for me about having plastic surgery however afterwards it was clear that the look in their eyes indicated they did not think this looked good and were very eager to change the subject. I didn't need their validation, a mirror told me what I already knew. I was told more directly by a brutally honest immediate family member "this is what you get for having plastic surgery". I was ashamed and embarrassed of both the result of the plastic surgery and the social stigma of having it done and so I suffered in silence, until now. Writing this review has been physically exhausting and emotional. I hate writing this. I wish I was writing to tell you how happy I am with my result and how wonderful Dr. Fisher is. However this is real life, and this is my result.
43 year old with 1 child. Scheduled Breast Augmentation on Sept 4, 2015. Subglandular gel implants, 350cc's. I'm 5'4, 140 pounds. Currently size B/C. I've got a pear shape and am hoping to become more proportionate! I've wanted this since at least my early 20's! Excited to finally be going ahead with it! Updated on 6 Sep 2015: I've wanted breast augmentation for the last 20 years I think. After 5 consults I finally got the nerve up to follow through with it! Why did I wait so long?! My doctor was helpful and I trusted his judgement. I wanted an increase in size but still have a natural look. The recovery has been smooth so far, and I'm doing better than I thought I would be. I was able to go to dinner day of surgery and did a little shopping today. So happy to finally have boobs!!
There are some patients who do not have enough hair in the donor site for a hair transplant so unfortunately, they would not be a candidate for the procedure.
I do not recommend using peroxide on healing tissue after having a hair transplant. It is unlikely that you have caused damage.
If you are losing hair at 18, you should see a hair transplant specialist..At such a young age, you are most likely not a candidate for a transplant at this time. There are several treatments that can help the hair loss until you are able to receive hair restoration after your balding pattern has been established at a later age.
It is normal to lose some of the implanted hair. The follicle will remain in the scalp. It usually takes at least 8 months before you can see results. Contact you physician with your concerns.
I would suggest avoiding sun exposure to your scalp to prevent scarring and damage to the donor and recipient areas. A hat is a great way to protect your scalp and avoid future damage from the sun.
