Please help me! Is this necrosis? Will it heal? (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
I would agree that this is necrosis.  To what extent I can't say without an examination.  You should follow the guidance of your Plastic Surgeon and consult with him/her for any concerns.  With necrosis it's a watch and wait scenario.  Good Luck

What is your opinion on a lift? And one is quite larger than the other? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
You look like a great candidate for a breast lift.  Your surgeon may want to reduce the left side a little bit to get your breasts as symmetric as possible.  If you haven't had a consultation yet please make sure it is with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.  Good Luck

Any suggestions on how my asymmetry may be corrected? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Your breast augmentation looks great. Without preop pictures I'm not sure if your breast were asymmetric naturally, which most women are.  At this point you left breast looks slightly larger, which is minimal at best and it could just be swelling from your procedure still. If it is your nipple asymmetry you are worried then you could have a crescent left on your right side to lift up the areolar, but then you will have a scar there. Talk to your Plastic Surgeon about your options.  Good Luck

Sleeping after breast implants. How long will I have to sleep on my back? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Great question.
You should ask your Plastic Surgeon and follow his protocol.  I usually tell my patients to sleep on their back for at least 2 weeks then they can try out their side.  Good Luck

Is this pain after Breast implant removal normal?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Sorry to hear about your pain.
After implant removal it takes time for your capsule to "scar down".  This may be what your pain is coming from.  As the scar tissue forms it can be painful.  Please see your Plastic Surgeon and be evaluated to assure you don't have an infection.

How long does it take for breasts to settle after breast implant removal and lift? (photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
It should take around 6 months for your breasts to settle.  At that point you can talk to you Plastic Surgeon about any concerns you may have. Good Luck

Is my right breast bottoming out? Or will my left breast catch up? (photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
It looks like your right breast may still be swollen or you had some breast asymmetry naturally.  Without your pre-op pictures it is hard for me to comment, but since it has only been 4 weeks you still have some time for things to settle out.  Follow the advise from your Plastic Surgeon.  Good Luck

Did working out on the spin bike three weeks post op set my healing process back to the beginning? It feels like it! (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
I usually tell my patients to wait 4 weeks before any kind of exercise.  The reason is because I want to make sure the incision is totally healed.  When you sweat it can run under you breast causing irritation of the incision and can sometimes cause an infection.  I think you need to take it easy and follow up with your Plastic Surgeon. Good luck

What is a prudent length of time for drains after explant with capsulectomy?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hi and thank you for the question.  The timing of drain removal cannot be accurately predicted before the procedure is performed.  The drainage will be impacted by the amount of dissection that needs to be done to remove your capsule.  Generally, I like to leave drains in place until they are putting out less than 30ml of fluid for three days in a row.  This will decrease the risk of seroma formation.  Hope this helps, good luck with everything.

Is tanning safe after a breast reduction?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hi and thank you for the question.  Tanning in a salon has been proven to increase your risk of skin cancer.  So, even if you are to cover your incisions, it is still important to prevent further skin damage.  Good luck with everything!

He did an incredible job sculpting my body

After, a significant weight loss I was in need of extensive plastic surgery to help remove loose skin. I met with multiple surgeons for initial consults and lastly walked into TPSC, where I quickly knew I had met the surgeon for me, Dr. Kauffman. Besides, the fact that he did an incredible job sculpting my body he demonstrated honesty and directness from the moment of my initial consult. I had extensive cosmetic surgery (tummy tuck, lipo, and inner thigh lift) which has been life changing and with time only improves my appearance. In addition to being such a talented surgeon his entire staff is exceptional from the receptionist to the Nurses. I am extremely grateful for Dr.Kauffman, his entire staff and his partner Dr. Ibrahim.

Breast Augmentation

Huge Boost to Self Esteem.....a Very Positive Experience - Shrewsbury, NJ

When I finally, after years of contemplation, committed to a breast augmentation, I was living in Europe. Despite my restrictive schedule for flying to America to have the surgery, Dr. Kaufman's team amazingly booked everything with ease, allowing ample time for the surgery and follow-up before returning to Europe. They stayed in touch with me before, during and after the surgery. His team shared insight and exuded warmth. I immediately felt comfortable. From the moment I met Dr. Kaufman I knew that I would be more than fine. He is sensitive, professional and caring. He quickly understood my situation and addressed all of my options, weighing pros and cons of each. Dr. Kaufman has a "can do" attitude and made it all seem very easy, which it was. He and his team have been attentive on all follow-up and supportive. I honestly feel like it is a social visit when I come to his offices, which has made the entire experience very pleasant and positive. My self esteem has soared since having my breast augmentation and I am immensely glad I did it.

Avoid a Lifetime of Regret!

Extremely disappointed and distressed with my results, as the areas I asked to be addressed received the least attention. I have daily pain in my left cheek, behind my ears and the back of my head and was told these are "Small problems". My concerns have been ignored and I've been told, "You look great" and with that I must be happy. Beware prospective clients, Beware.

Butched Rhinoplasty - New Jersey

Dr Kaufman preformed rhinoplasty on my nose in 2008. He was supposed to correct the tip (too pointy) and remove a small bump. My nose also leaned to one side and he said he will be able to correct it.  It was an open surgery.  It we well and after about 2-3 months I realized that the enormous swelling i had on the tip is not going down. Apparently it was a huge scar tissue. I also noticed that there is a hole in my septum that made whistle sounds every time I breath, especially at night. That keep me awake. Dr Kaufman set me to a specialist that bluntly asked if I had a cocaine problem.... No, my problem was my plastic surgeon, thank you.   At my 1 year appointment, Dr Kaufman said he will perform a second operation to correct all the issues, at no charge. The scar tissue was reduced a little bit but the majority is still there. The hole in the septum remains. My nose still leanes on to one side and now i have issue breathing. I would like to correct all the issues so I will need a third operation. It would be very complex and expensive.
