Both men and women value having a toned, tight, sexy midsection. Genetics, pregnancy, extra weight and other factors can make it more difficult to achieve the flat, contoured tummy that is so desirable in the beach-loving lifestyle of Fort Lauderdale and Broward County. We offer tummy tuck surgery to give you a defined, attractive abdomen. A flatter, tighter, more youthful abdomen, elimination or reduction of “stretch marks” and excess tummy skin resulting from childbirth or rapid weight loss, firming up of a sagging abdominal profile which resulted from longtime poor posture and/or age-related factors: These are some of the leading reasons patients cite for desiring a tummy tuck procedure in Florida.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Exercise after breast augmentation?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Recommendations for exercise limitations following breast augmentation vary from surgeon to surgeon and also depending on the specific technique. Generally speaking, if a partial submuscular or dual plane approach is utilized, the restriction will be longer (4-6 weeks) as vigorous chest muscle exercises can displace the implants undesirably. If the implants are placed above the muscle this problem is much less likely and therefore restrictions can be less.

We do perform gender confirming breast surgery on adults including breast augmentation for transgender women and breast reduction for transgender men. We definitely prefer an evaluation with a gender affirming medical and/or mental health specialist before proceeding with surgery. We do offer free virtual consultations.

Thanks for your photos. You have a common situation at 11 years postop augmentation/lift. Your implants have remained somewhat high under the pectoralis muscle and your breasts have descended creating a "waterfall descent" appearance. A revision surgery to lower your implant pocket (change implants definitely and size if you wish) and raise your breasts with a secondary lift will bring your breast tissue and implants back into a more harmonious appearance. The minor "dent" at your lower breast can be fixed at the same time.

Thanks for the photos. At 6 months postop your implants should have already "dropped" into the proper position yet it does appear that they are remaining a bit high under the muscle with your breast below in a "waterfall" appearance. You should consult with your plastic surgeon and may opt for a revision surgery which may require a more effective lift/mastopexy as with a vertical or lollipop scar approach to position your nipple/areolar higher to better match your implant position. At the same time you can slightly reduce your areolar diameter and revise your scars to improve their appearance.

It is not unusual to have some minor asymmetries in your ears both before and after otoplasty. If it bothers you enough you should consult with your plastic surgeon and decide together if a minor revision surgery is makes sense and is desirable.

Not uncommon to have slight "bumps" after hyaluronic lip fillers. You can try massage, or squeezing out the excess with a needle or the hylauronidase enzyme. This is ideally done within the first few days/weeks although it still can be performed later. If the result is unsatisfactory (creates a low spot and undesirable contour) you can always have more injected.

En bloc capsulectomy means complete removal of the "capsule" aka scar tissue surrounding your implants along with the implant inside as one unit and preferably all intact. The term has been misused and promoted by some patients and physicians that are inappropriately attaching it's necessity for women with all sorts of breast implant issues (Breast Implant Associated Illness "BIAI"). A total or subtotal capsulectomy is sufficient in the vast majority of women who are ready to have their implants removed for various reasons.

Best options for breast lift scar removal?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Thank you for sharing your photos. Glad you are happy with your lift results. Unfortunately scarring is inevitable and yours don't appear too bad. Assuming that you have already pursued the optimal early scar treatments including silicone topical gel/sheeting/tape along with pressure and you have waited 1 year (natural scar changes can occur over several years) the options now are minimally invasive (ie microneedling, various lasers or scar camouflage tattooing) or more invasive as with surgical scar revision. Whichever means you choose it is best to consult with a plastic surgeon to review all of your options and the risks of each treatment. The bad news is that scars cannot be "erased" but the good news is if you wait even longer you will likely see further spontaneous improvement.

When placed under the muscle, the upper part of the implant is covered by muscle but the lower part is covered by the breast gland. A complete submuscular approach is not used as is not conducive to a full/natural lower breast shape. The muscle and overlying breast soft tissues and skin conform to the shape of the underlying implant, a process that takes a few months for full "settling".

I’m Very Happy

Dr Levens was just amazing. I had waited for a long time to have a tummy tuck and when I met with Dr. Levens, we talked about what I wanted in terms of my results and what he could deliver. He was very honest and he listened to what I was asking for. I could not be happier with the outcome of my procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Levens.

Exceptional Care and Life-Changing Results with Dr. Levens

I recently had the privilege of working with Dr. Levens for a revision of a breast lift with saline implants originally done in my mid-40s. Now in my mid-60s, a significant weight loss, worsening spinal curvature, and a chest wall defect, had left my breasts drooped, shifted to the left, and surrounded by layers of loose skin. Despite my unique and complex presentation, Dr. Levens embraced the challenge with skill and confidence. From my first consultation, I was struck by how comfortable I felt with Dr. Levens and his extraordinary staff. Their communication was professional yet friendly, and they took great care to make me feel understood and respected. I left each visit confident that my special needs were in capable hands. The initial surgery went smoothly, achieving the first critical goal of repositioning my breasts back to midline. My recovery was uneventful, but it became clear that the new implants (which were the same size as the ones that were being replaced), were just too large for my new, smaller frame. Dr. Levens and I agreed to wait until I healed fully before moving forward with a follow-up surgery. Now, just five days post-op from that second procedure, I am thrilled with the results. Dr. Levens reduced the implants by a full cup size and skillfully removed the excess skin. For the first time in years, I feel “right-sized” and the girls are lined up in the "right place." It’s an incredible feeling to be comfortable and confident in my body shape again. Admittedly, it was hard to be patient throughout this process when instant results would have been ideal. However, Dr. Levens’ clear communication and thoughtful guidance made the wait manageable and, ultimately, worthwhile. If you are considering plastic surgery, especially for a complex case, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Levens. His expertise, compassion, and commitment to patient satisfaction are unparalled.

Perfectly symmetrical and natural appearing breasts

Dr. Levens surpasses all others in his field. I have known him for over 17 years since he performed my initial breast augmentation with saline implants. He did a fantastic job with my initial breast augmentation creating perfectly symmetrical and natural appearing breasts. Recently, I elected to exchange my saline implants for silicone implants with a lift and once again Dr. Levens performed remarkably. The process both preoperatively and postoperatively was seamless in large part due to his experience, the care and comfort of his staff, and Dr. Levens congenial bedside manner. Dr. Levens was always available to answer any questions or to allay any concerns throughout my recovery. I highly recommend that you consult Dr. Levens for any plastic surgery needs. Dr. Levens’ skill set is unparalleled to any other surgeon I have ever encountered.

Delivered results that exceeded my expectations

After experiencing several disappointing encounters with other plastic surgeons, I was fortunate enough to find Dr. Levens. He completely restored my trust and confidence in plastic surgery. Dr. Levens is truly remarkable—a compassionate and dedicated physician unlike any other I have met. His bedside manner is not only impeccable but also deeply reassuring. Unlike my previous experiences, where I felt rushed and unimportant, Dr. Levens took the time to listen, understand my concerns, and address them with genuine care. I never felt like just another patient; instead, I felt truly valued. What sets Dr. Levens apart is his unwavering commitment to his patients. He was always accessible, both during and after my procedure, providing me with such peace of mind during a time that could have otherwise been stressful. His level of care, attention to detail, and expertise delivered results that exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Levens to anyone seeking not only exceptional surgical skill but also a doctor who truly cares. His office staff, like him, is warm, friendly, and professional, creating a comforting environment from start to finish.

Absolutely love my results - would highly recommend him to anyone

Before I went to Dr. Levens, I had a few other consults and nobody made me feel quite as comfortable as Dr. Levens. That coupled with how great his work is made it a no brainer to ultimately go with him for my breast lift + augmentation. From the very beginning he and his staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable and left no question unanswered. After I had my surgery I never had any issue getting ahold of Dr. Levens and he is ALWAYS so quick to answer any question that I may have through his private portal. I absolutely LOVE my results and would highly recommend anyone looking to get any sort of plastic surgery done to at least schedule a consult, you will not be disappointed.

They Had Me at Hello

Recently moved to the area and was looking for a surgeon I could trust and have confidence in their abilities. Dr. Levens was my first consultation-after meeting with him and his staff I didn’t need to look further. Being a retired physician I was extremely impressed with his manner and the office staff were incredibly supportive. My procedure was done without a hitch and I love the results. Looking to book some ancillary treatments like Morpheus8. The office provides services for many options. I’m going to be a lifelong client!

I Love my Results !!

Dr. Levens is an amazing surgeon. He is very thorough and knowledgeable about the procedures. I got a breast augmentation and I couldn’t be any happier with my results so far. He followed up with me after my procedure on his app sending me exercises and products I need for healing. Levens is down to Earth and extremely welcoming as well as his staff. I definitely recommend him to anyone! As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.

Friends and family tell me I look 10-15 years younger

For me, it is rare to find a physician whose office staff matches the care, compassion and patience provided by that physician. With Dr. David Levens, I hit the jackpot! I am as fond of and grateful to his staff as I am to him. Dr. Levens performed a breast reduction on my daughter in 2014, and his care was not forgotten by either of us. Her results were beautiful, and her confidence soared. So, when I wanted to know more about upper and lower blepharoplasty for me, and whether I was a candidate for this procedure, I consulted with Dr. Levens. He explained the procedure in detail, as well as the results he hoped to achieve. I say without reservation that he exceeded every expectation I had. Friends and family tell me I look 10-15 years younger, and that I look more rested. Every time I look into a mirror, I am truly astounded at how fresh and smooth my eyes appear. Admittedly, I was nervous about elective surgery. I called the office one day prior to confirming the surgery date, and stopped by to discuss my concerns. Chris, Diane and Amy could not have been more comforting. Each woman sat with me and assured me the procedure was safe and painless, and that I would wonder afterwards why I didn’t get it done sooner. There was no pressure, only kindness. They were right! I experienced no pain at all during recovery. Follow-up care is easily managed at home. Dr. Levens contacted me on both days over the weekend after my surgery to check on my progress. He allayed my concerns as I expressed them to him. I was - and still am - very well cared for. If you are thinking about blepharoplasty - or any cosmetic procedure with Dr. Levens - do not delay! You are worth it, and I assure you, with Dr. Levens and his staff, you are in the very best hands.
