Sometimes when you do a mastopexy and somebody has very a large areola it is hard to get all of the pigment out and therefore it ends up in your vertical scar. After the tissue soften you can go back secondarily and resect this to try to dress up and otherwise nice result. Good luck,Dr. T

While you are on the younger side of folks that get facelifts the surgery would help with your loose neck skin and elevate you cheeks back in to a more upright position. Seek consulatation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to get more details about how this would be done.Good luck,Dr. T

ANSWER
If your doctor is avoiding you then I would ask around and find out who does the most body contouring in your area and get an appointment to get a second opinion. As plastic surgeons we all see patient whose results don't meet the physician or the patients expectations. The problem with seeing another surgeon for a revision your costs will be more, but if your original doc is avoiding you this may be your only option.Good luck,Dr. Tucker
Asked By: Barihappydeb
ANSWER
Early in my career I used permanent stitches to plicate the muscle on abdominoplasty's. I did see a rare occasion where somebody got a suture granuloma around 1 of the permanent stitches that needed to be removed. This did not affect her muscle repair. Later in life I switched to absorbable sutures to avoid the suture granuloma problem. After the area has healed he should not have any problem as the muscle is fused together as the healing process goes on. The sutures then resorb and I have not seen a recurrence of a diastases since switching to the absorbable sutures. Good luck,Dr. T

ANSWER
With the degree of laxity on your neck and jowl area facelift is probably your only option. Facelift will not do anything with your lip lines but at the same time as the facelift you could has with the laser resurfacing of your upper lip. He would also benefit from lower lid blepharoplasty with fat redraping into the fold under her eyelid bag. This could all be done at the same time. I like to complement you on your photographs you did a great job of capturing what needed to be seen to evaluate this. Good luck on your journey, Dr. Tucker

There is a chance that one of the skin tightening devises may give you some improvement. There are several out there like RF microneedling and Emsculpt Neo, both of which are non invasive. With the degree of laxity of your skin you will probably need an abdominoplasty to get a nice result. Good luck on your journey,Dr. T
Asked By: Annaeliza
ANSWER
With an examination it would be easier to tell if its a size issue or a placement issue. It appears as if your right inframammary fold is higher than the left and if this was changed it could fix the asymetry without a size change. You should discuss this with your surgeon and see what the best options are. You may also have a capsular contracture on the right that is pushing this implant higher.Good luck,Dr. Tucker

ANSWER
Looking at your results I feel as if you got a nice result. While everyone has some minimal asymmetry you were so close that I do not know that doing any kind of revision would be beneficial. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Tucker

ANSWER
It appears as if you still have laxity of the skin despite the liposuction and the mini tuck. Performing a full abdominoplasty with some liposuction of your hips that are full would probably correct most of the problems that you are having. I would seek out a plastic surgeon who is board certified and has a lot of experience in body contouring. Check with nurses and hairdresser's in your area who tend to know who the best surgeons are.

ANSWER
It is hard to tell from this photograph what needs to be done. I would seek a consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon to find her best options. There are several laser sick and be used on scars that may soften it. There is also the possibility he may need a scar revision. Good luck with getting this worked out. Sincerely, Dr. Tucker
