QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Hi. You may have developed a (late) fluid collection around the implant called a seroma. This can be established by a sonar / ultrasound. There are many causes of fluid collection around implants and it is important to find out more about it, so my suggestion is to see your plastic surgeon as soon as logistically possible so that further review can take place. If it is fluid, then some of that fluid will be drained off for lab analysis.

Hi. Late seromas are never normal and need to be investigated fully. If logistically possible, fluid should be tapped off under ultrasound guidance and sent for full analysis. Do you know what "make" of implants you have in place and whether or not they have a textured surface? If there is no resolution within a couple of weeks, I suggest you have a plastic surgeon review your case.

Hi. Each doctor will offer the approach with which they feel most comfortable. I do all my labiaplasty surgeries under local anaesthetic and light oral sedation and it works perfectly well in my hands.

Hi, Liposuction may work. A full examination by a board certified doctor will be needed to ascertain that this is fat vs bone and that there is no hernia in the area.

Based on the pics provided - I would not use an implant at all. I might consider using an "auto-augmentation" but lifting some of the lower pole tissue up higher and fixing it to the chest wall - so all your own tissue and no implants at all. I think you need to be realistic in your expectation of a result - your boobs are not going to be "perky" forever regardless of what is done.

I think you would benefit from a rhinoplasty. I don't think the outcome would negatively impact on your chin - it de[ends on what is done to the nose in part.

The answer is "yes" - no problem. It is perfectly safe whilst on herceptin. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist

The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that it is usually best to dissolve the filler pre operatively when possible.

Good question! They can be combined, but in my experience, the swelling that follows can impact on the healing of the labiaplasty, so when done together, I tend to be very conservative with both procedures. In an ideal setting, I prefer to do them separately. Labiaplasty is reducing and shaping the inner labia minor and "puffing" I assume, is fat grafting to the outer labia.

A "cephalic trim" will reduce volume in the tip and tilt the tip upwards slightly, even without sutures. That said, in my experience, that is rarely enough in a so called "ethnic" rhinoplasty, so sutures are always placed as well, alongside various support batons.

Very happy with the results - he has a good eye for aesthetics

I had several procedures done by Dr Paul. Many say he is the best, I wasn’t too convinced until I saw the result. He has a good eye for aesthetics and good judgment what is enough and avoiding over-done. The cuts are strategically placed to achieve minimum scaring. You can place your trust with him. I am very happy.

Wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Paul Skoll to anyone

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Paul Skoll to anyone considering Labiaplasty. His expertise, attention to detail, and genuine care for his patients make him a standout in the field. I have no doubt that anyone who chooses him as their surgeon will be in the best possible hands.

Sensational - the outcome is better than I could have dreamed

I was very happy with the whole process from first consultation to excellent outcome. Dr Skoll communicated all the necessary information in an accessible way, he gave time for questions and followed up after the surgery. The actual surgery was handled with meticulous attention and the outcome is better than I could have dreamed.

Breast Augmentation

Subtle and natural looking breasts

I had a breast augmentation with Dr Skoll recently and choosing him as my plastic surgeon was the best decision I could have made. I had been to 4 other well- known surgeons before seeing him, yet none of them felt right & I was unable to place my trust into any of them for a number of reasons. I saw Dr Skoll’s reviews on here & knew before I’d even met him that he sounded like the perfect doctor for me. I definitely was not wrong! Prior to the operation he answered my neverending questions with patience, was always easy to get hold of directly (unlike all the other doctors that would take days or even weeks to contact and who you could only reach via their secretary). This was definitely a huge deciding factor for me in using him as he takes a personal caring attitude towards his patients, a step beyond what is required. The fact that he uses no drains for augmentations, allows you to try on sizes beforehand, shows dozens of his previous before and after work, & explains his minimally invasive technique in extreme depth which leaves zero bruising, were all huge positives. He is also a perfectionist who wants to work with the patient to achieve the result they want and I felt very comforted in knowing I wouldn’t step out of the operating theatre regretting everything! After the surgery and during my unusually difficult recovery, he was there for me every step of the way 24/7, even on the weekend, and I cannot imagine being able to get through what I did with any other surgeon. I am now left with the perfect result which I have desired for years- subtle and natural looking breasts even for over the muscle implants (AA to a B cup which is completely proportionate to my body) & a renewed sense of confidence. I am so glad I chose to place my trust in Dr Skoll- he really is in a class of his own!

His technique was very minimally invasive, couldn’t be more pleased

I had an exceptional experience from start to finish. Dr Skoll took a lot of time to thoroughly explain and answer all our questions. The hospital used was very modern and clean, much nicer than Canadian hospitals. His technique was very minimally invasive, couldn’t be more please with the results. Would 100 percent recommend and use dr Skoll in the future.

Beautiful, subtle results - I couldn't be happier!

I have been considering a breast augmentation since my early 20s and now in my forties, with my children almost teens, I decided to go ahead with the procedure and I couldn't be happier I chose Dr Skoll and of course the results! I have spoken to a number of well-known Cape Town Plastic surgeons and I found his attention to detail, insight and experience was just in a class of its own! I've had not one complication and a textbook healing process. He is methodical in his approach from first appointment to last follow-up and I'd highly recommend him for anyone considering any reconstructive and/or plastic surgery.

Liposuction

Liposuction of love handles went smoothly & only mild post-op pain

I had a wonderful experience with Dr Skoll and Mandy (Assistant to Dr Skoll). Communication via email was prompt, clear and concise. After the initial consultation, I received the best possible treatment options and was encouraged to make my own informed decision. I chose to have liposuction of the love handles only - The operation went very smoothly - only mild post-operative pain (which can easily be controlled with simple pain meds). I'm extremely satisfied with the result.

Rhinoplasty

He gave me a beautiful looking nose but also it's fully functional

Dr Skoll is a kind, genuine man and a master in his field. Not only did he give e a beautiful looking nose but also fully functional after many years of breathing difficulties. I am thrilled with my results. Dr Skoll was precise to explain the procedure and made me feel at ease. I was comforted by the fact that I could have direct contact with him, especially after surgery. a wonderful doctor with a great sense of humour too. I cannot praise and thank him enough. Also a big thank you to Mandy, the lovely receptionist as well as the anaesthetist and hospital staff who were all fantastic.

Dr Skoll made me feel incredibly comfortable

Dr Skoll made me feel incredibly comfortable from the first consultation. When I left the consultation my mind was already made up that I wanted my procedure done by Dr Skoll. He made sure that I was fully informed and was very transparent regarding the procedure and the after care. Exceptional communication as well, Dr Skoll responded promptly to any questions or concerns I had. I had an incredible recovery period (I thought it would have been a tough recovery) and was up after 3 days with ofcourse some restricted movement. Overall I am incredibly happy with the entire experience and thrilled beyond measure with the outcome and results of my new breasts. Thank you Dr Skoll!

10/10 Results and an Incredible Experience All Round.

An incredible experience from my first consultation right through till the last post-op appointment. Results of the procedure were 10/10 and I am so happy. I felt very comfortable in the hands of Dr Skoll. Hats off to him and Mandy for being so professional and went the extra mile by accommodating me with my busy schedule.
