I would want to know what your fears are about "breaking" the nose, which we call lateral osteotomies. I do think that it is possible with the fairly minimal dorsal hump that you have, but the top of the nose would end up looking more square. I think your concerns are very common, but I think it is better to frame the question as, what do you really want as your final outcome? Plastic surgery is generally not the place to compromise, and there has to be a certain amount of trust in the process and the relationship in order to get the "best" results.

The great thing about plastic surgery is it becomes a balance between art and communcation, so you get get different answers from different surgeons. You will have to trust your own gut when it comes to the surgery that is right for you. Looking at all the answers, one option to consider is to have an augmentation without lift and expect that you may need to do a lift later if you feel that the implants were not enough to give you the lift and projection you desire. We all understand that a lift creates more incisions and scars in order to get the shape that is needed, however you are the one that has to walk in your shoes and be happy with your choices. Best of luck.

The right implant looks ok. However the left implant or pocket looks too large, and I am concerned there is extra fluid in the left pocket. I think the implants you received were too large for your frame, at least initially, which caused a weakness in your left inframammary fold. So I would include a reduction in your implant size if a revision is to be done. A capsule repair might do the trick, but it may not, and I would be prepared to either do a mesh or allograft suspension if the capsule repair doesn't work. I would want to know what revisions were done, but a third revision is likely not to work well unless the 1st two revisions were grossly inadequate.

Yes you could be a good candidate for liposuction of the knees, which is not an uncommon request. Best of luck!

Based on your photo and brief question, I believe decent results can be obtained by performing a BBL and lipo without a tummy tuck. That being said, based on your skin and stretch marks, I would estimate small chance of having to do a tummy tuck eventually based on the inability of your skin to shrink enough. It really is based on your expectations, which affects the answer I would give you.

I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder. While we as plastic surgeons specialize in beauty, it is much more about what your own personal goals are, are they realistic, and can they be achieved successfully. Each treatment is personalized and customized for every individual that I meet and at least one full consultation is needed to have that dialogue. To answer your question specifically simply based on photos and your concerns will be limited, but I do believe you can achieve the results you desire by removing implants and having a breast lift. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. I believe what is more important than the choice of suture used is the trust you have in your surgeon, which should have come through a thorough consultation and robust discussion of what to expect. I personally may change the choice of suture based on the situation since I treat every single patient with a customized and personalized approach. What may be a good solution for one person may not be the best for another. As far as tragal incisions, I believe both methods are valid and have good outcomes. I would look at B&A photos of your surgeon and have a discussion about what you like and don't like. Only then will you have the best outcome for you.

Dr. Vasquez is amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable and did an amazing job with my fillers and Botox (looks very natural and I'm so happy!). His staff is great too. Very friendly, helpful and kind. I would highly recommend Dr. Vasquez and his team for all of your cosmetic/skin care needs. His office is very professional but also warm and welcoming.
Caring, engaged and highly skilled. I love the results of my treatment. I wasn’t sure what I wanted, but knew I wanted to look my best. Dr Vasquez made his recommendations and then gave me several options. I love the results.
10/10 he did an amazing job and I was left with no pain after my breast reduction as well as my back pain relief, very informative and answers all questions descriptively. Good manners and the office is nice !
Dr. Vazquez is a gem. I don’t think my experience could have been any better. For starters, he seemed to be a natural at immediately ridding me of my anxiety about the procedure because he is a great listener. He aimed to fully understand me. Even when we had different opinions about post op breast size, he communicated his concerns in a respectful way, letting me know he does have my b(r)e(a)st interest in mind. Haha, i would easily recommend Dr. Vazquez to anyone!
Dec. 2016 I made the decision to have breast augmentation surgery with Dr. Vasquez. From Day 1, I knew I was in good hands. Vasquez and his staff were wonderful start to finish. 4 weeks later I feel great and couldn't be happier with the results!
Aimee the aesthetician did an amazing job. She was professional and kind. She also took the time to explain what I had done and gave me aftercare instructions to go home with. I would definitely come back.
I called the office on my 17year wedding anniversary, to set up a appointment for a consultation. I brought my husband with me to the appointment. After my consultation, my husband said I like Dr. Vasquez I believe he will take good care of you. After pushing my date back a couple of times, I set a date. The day of surgery I was very scared until Dr Vasquez came in the room. Dr Vasquez explained everything to me and made sure I was comfortable. Im 3 months out now and Im extremely blessed that I finally had my Tummy Tuck. Its been 30 years since I was able to see my toes standing straight. Every time I see Dr Vasquez I restrain myself from giving him a big hug. Thank you Dr. Vasquez to you and your staff.
This was my first time getting fillers of any sort and I could not be any more pleased with the results. I did not experience any bruising and very, very little swelling. In fact, the injection site on my left is the only area that swelled and that was because it was a little tougher to get the needle in.
I had been considering a breast reduction for a number of years but hadn't had the courage to follow through with the procedure until recently. I was concerned about down-time from work, scarring, recovery, the procedure itself, cost and whether my body image goal could be attained through weight loss as opposed to surgery. At 5'4", 130 lbs, size 6 with DD breasts, I realized that my breasts were not going to go anywhere no matter how healthy I ate or how much I exercised. In May 2016, I finally mustered up the courage to at least go to a consultation. Dr. Vasquez and his office manager Lisa are the consummate professionals. I felt so comfortable and at ease in the office that I decided it was time to take the plunge. I had the surgery approximately a month after my initial consultation and I could not be any more pleased with the result. Aside from a minor wound issue, everything went perfectly. I am now a 36B and I sleep better than I ever did before. Prior to my surgery, I liked running -- I now love it as it is 10x more comfortable without the weight pulling at my chest. My only disappointment is that I didn't have the surgery sooner.
He was my first and only experience with plastic surgery, and I am SO happy that I chose him. This was 8years ago, and I can confidently say that my breast augmentation was the best decision I ever made for my own self esteem. Besides that, I've had ZERO complications, they look even BETTER and more natural as I age (and have had three babies since the procedure, and they look WAY better than most post-partum Mommies!), and I even fell once randomly on ice 5years after the surgery and he saw me no cost, no problem, just to be sure all was well.
