Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, it is impossible to give an accurate recommendation without an in person consultation. From your description, liposuction of this area might be an option, but I would recommend consulting with your original surgeon to discuss options to give you the best results. Best of luck to you!

Thank you for your question. It is very early on in your healing process to determine your final results regarding your swelling. In my experience, nasal swelling can take as much as 6 months to a year to fully resolve. I would recommend staying the course and waiting the appropriate amount of time recommended by your surgeon. Best of luck to you!

Thank you for your questions. I also like to use Exparel for my tummy tuck patients with large muscle repairs. I find that most of these patients however, do still require some sort of oral pain medication in addition to the exparel. I would recommend consulting with your surgeon to discuss your pain management plan post surgery. Best of luck to you!

ANSWER
Thank you for your question! Although every surgeon has a different protocol, I advise my patients to remain in a supportive, wire free bra as often as possible for the first few months post op. I find my patients get better long term results when they wear a bra more frequently. I would recommend following up with your surgeon to see what he/she suggests for you! Best of luck.

ANSWER
Thank you for your question. Although every plastic surgeon has a different protocol, I also leave drains in until they have decreased output to less than 25-30ml in a 24hr period. Typically, this takes anywhere from 5-10 days, but occasionally it does take longer. I would continue with the plan your surgeon has and follow up with him. Best of luck to you!

ANSWER
Hi there and thank you for your questions. I usually recommend that my patients try to get as close to their goal weight before surgery as possible. Large weight loss post tummy tuck and breast surgery can potentially result in more excess skin, that might require more surgery in the future. Ultimately, I recommend consulting with a local board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Thank you and best of luck!
