How much wrinkling and loose skin will remain after umbilical hernia and diastasis repair surgery? (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
It is difficult to comment on your current condition without knowing what you looked like beforehand and what procedures were performed. Currently it appears that you have a significant amount of excess skin that would require a surgical procedure, such as a tummy tuck, to correct. Your best bet would be to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon so that you can be examined and you can discuss your available options. Best wishes on achieving your aesthetic goals.

Can I get Tummy Tuck AND Lipo at same time?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
We routinely perform liposuction of the flanks and hips at the same time as a tummy tuck. This is performed in order to achieve a better body contour in patients who have excess fat in those regions.  Infrequently, some people do not need to have the additional liposuction as their problem is only excess skin. It would be best for your friend to ask her plastic surgeon to see before and after pictures of women with a similar appearance as herself. Further, she may want to seek additional consultations by other board certified plastic surgeons in her area.

Double bubble bilaterally. What should I do? (photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
You are correct about the diagnosis and the fact that this will not improve without a revision. The main aspect of the revision is a release of the inframammary fold that forms a constricting band at the bottom of the breast and deforms the implant. This can definitely be improved, but sometimes it cannot be fully corrected. We would be happy to evaluate you in the office free of charge at your convenience. Best wishes in achieving you goals

Are there any alternatives to tummy tuck to help skin laxity?? (Pre-Child bearing) (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

You are an excellent candidate for a new stretch mark reduction trial that we are performing with a skin tightening machine and a laser. It is the perfect trial for your stretch marks as you are trying to hold off on having surgery until you are done having children.  I agree that definitive surgery is your best option, but you should have that performed only after you are truly done having children. Further, we compensate you for your time for the current trial that we are performing. Also we can discuss long term options as well.

One of my creases is lower than the other and they are not proportionate, can this be fixed when I have a BA done? (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

As mentioned previously, breast asymmetries are routinely addressed during breast augmentation. Although some asymmetry will always be present, major differences in the breast shape and volume can be corrected--including your inframammary fold height disparity. We routinely deal with many breast asymmetries and would be happy to help you achieve your cosmetic goals. We also offer complimentary consultations as well. Best wishes.

Hi Doctor I Want to Know How Much is a Butt Lift ?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

 

We routinely perform fat grafting and buttock augmentation. We do not quote prices over the phone, online, or via email. Simply, many people have misconceptions or are misinformed as to what treatment is ideal for them, and ultimately require different procedures than the one for which they initially presented. Thus, we offer free consultations where we perform a thorough history and physical exam and identify an optimal plan to achieve your aesthetic goals. Best wishes in achieving your aesthetic goals.

Did the Surgeon over Compensate, and Start Too Low, Can This Be Fixed? (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

As mentioned previously, the photographs are not ideal but the breast implants do seem to have dropped too low on your chest wall. There are several possible reasons for this, but this can naturally happen to longstanding implants. Most importantly, this can be corrected. You should speak with your Platic Surgeon and let them know of your concerns so that they can help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Best wishes.

Since It's Recommended Not to Sit After a Bbl, How Are You to a Sit on a Plane if Your Procedure is Done out the Country?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Following a Brazilian Buttock Augmentation, most Plastic Surgeons will recommend avoiding the sitting position or being in any position that focuses pressure on your buttocks (eg, laying on your back) for 10-14 days. This will ensure that you have an optimal outcome following your procedure.  Further you should give yourself 1-2 weeks postoperatively in the region of your surgery. Finally, we perform Brazilian Buttock Lifts in New Jersey as well. That would avoid your current concerns or any other concerns should any postoperative issues should arise. Best wishes on achieving your cosmetic goals.

Mini Tummy Tuck / Fat Transfer in State?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Any surgery has expense and risk; however, that balance changes on where you have your surgery. An American Board of Plastic Surgery certified Plastic Surgeon may be more expensive initially, but more importantly will diminish your risks and help you achieve your goals safely. If you travel abroad, you may have a wonderful surgeon, but that does not mean that the operative facilities are regulated as stringently as ours. Further, should any issue arise, a return trip to see your surgeon may not be feasible. These situations do arise and we see them routinely.  Ultimately, these patients incur a much bigger expense and greater health risks.

As a practice in New Jersey, we may represent more of a value than practices located in NYC despite our close proximity to New York.  Best wishes in achieving your aesthetic goals.

Is It Worth Replacing Implants with Capsular Contracture? (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Correction of a capsular contracture is not a medical necessity. However, most women with this appearance will complain of firmness and to a lesser extent, some will complain of pain. These are the reasons for which we revise breast augmentations with capsular contractures. At the time of surgery, we would remove your implants and place new, significantly improved silicone implants. If your implants had been placed above the pectoralis muscle, then we would place the new implants below the muscle, as this decreases the risk of recurrence if the capsular contracture. There are other measures which can reduce the risk of capsular contracture and are performed as needed by many of us, including fat grafting and/or placement of an animal or human dermal graft. The next best step is to seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and review your options following a proper consultation. Best wishes on achieving your goals.

Tummy Tuck

2 years later and I am still a fan and a patient of Dr. Z and the entire staff. They are a wonderful and caring group and provide excellent care. They answered all my questions and I had many, they explained each step of my surgery and after care at length. I was extremely satisfied with my results.

When People Ask How Do I Look So Good for my Age, I Say my Secret Weapon is Dr. Zapiach :) - Paramus, NJ

I can't say enough about Dr. Zapiach - his incredible knowledge, talents, technique, bedside manners, caring and every other accolade I could possibly give him, he so deserves. What I appreciate the most is the lengths he goes through to make sure the results are optimum. With something as simple as botox, he measures to make sure the eyebrows are both semetrical, that he doesn't hit a vein, let alone that you're not in pain (he uses a numbing gel and ice). I love this doctor. I first went to Dr. Zapiach about 4 years ago, and I've been so pleased with everything he's done since. When I go for my brow lift, he'll be the one for that procedure, and whatever else I or my family may need. I trust him completely. All I can add is that I hope he never changes his caring, authentic ways. His office staff is awesome as well. Great place to say the least. Thanks Dr. Zapiach and staff. You're truly unmatched by anyone else (given all the prior places I've gone to, I ought to know!). See you soon.

CONSULTATION REVIEW - Facial Mole and Marks - Paramus, NJ

I went to see Dr Zapiach for a face mole consultation, small marks on my face, and an injectable consultation. Possible skin resurfacing, lasers. I also had a small chicken pox scar on my left cheek that I wanted to see what could be done to remove it. I also wanted to find out if fillers could help me in the forehead area.

Fantastic Physician - Paramus, NJ

Dr. Z is a fantastic surgeon with amazing bedside manner. He spent more than enough time with me throughout the consult and never rushed me. he is easy to talk to and super accessible. my entire procedure was pain free. his choice of anesthesiologist was awesome as well. I'm very happy with my results and would be absolutely comfortable with having dr z operate on any of my family members. I recommend him wholeheartedly! great office and staff too.

Full Face Ultherapy - Paramus, NJ

I had my ulthera treatment on august 1. I had the therapy because I did not want a surgical face lift. I researched Ultherapy and thought it was something I could tolerate and afford. I will say the procedure is not pain free. I took a small does of narcotic & painkiller before the treatment. I do no think any kind of injectable anesthetic is necessary. However,I know we all have different pain thresholds. Let me say the pain is short lived only during the treatment, There is no pain after the treatment. i only had a little soreness in areas close to bone. I do see some smoothing out on my neck. Others have said they see some lift along my jawline. I will wait the 2-3 months for my final assesment. I do have marionette lines and deep nasal folds I will be going back for fillers. I believe the complete & immediate fix for a lifted face is a face lift. I am not willing to have a surgery. i believe you need more than one non-surgical treatment to achieve a similar result. Non-surgical treatment offer less noticeable changes and much less downtime.I had my ulthera treatment on august 1. I had the therapy because I did not want a surgical face lift.
