In general, once a woman loses fat from her face, it is difficult to gain it back despite weight gain. It is not uncommon to have filler placed to regain that youthful look
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
It really varies from person to person. In general most patients undergoing a facelift have lost volume from their faces and do benefit from fillers or fat in the cheek area. I would do the facelift and reevaluate after several months. If you need more volume it is easy to do at that point
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
I would try a little botox to treat the hypertrophy of the muscle under your eye along with filler placed on the bone to add volume to the tear trough area

Due to your preexisting breast ptosis, I think you will need a mastopexy to get the best result. I think you will do well with an implant (submuscular) plus a lift. The degree of lift will depend upon size and shape of the chosen implant
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
From the photos alone, it is difficult to say if an implant alone will be enough. It also depends upon the shape and size of the implant. Once you have been examined and picked an implant it will be easier to predict if you need a lift. I would not be surprises if you ended up with a lift of some sort
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
There are a lot of concerns with this combination of illnesses and medications. I would have a talk with your doctors about the risks of surgery in this situation
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
I would recommend an implant (250-350 probably) plus a lift. I think this will give you the look you are seeking
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
yes, all of what you ask can be accomplished. A lift alone will provide a short term solution, but over time you will lose upper pole volume and you will likely be unhappy. I recommend a lift with a small implant and reduction of your areolas at the same time
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
It is safe to have Botox even with a thyroid condition. There is no interaction with the thyroid gland as the botox is injected into the muscle which is superficial to the thyroid

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Russo. He is so kind and amazing to work with. He was very informative and explained the whole process! His whole office is very friendly and welcoming. I would recommend him to everyone!!
I saw Brittani today for my first visit. She's AMAZING!!! She explained everything before she started and really listened to what I wanted, as well as making recommendations. She's a true professional and very lovely. I will definitely go back. Victoria is also so very sweet. Classy place.
From start to finish, I have been nothing but impressed with the entire staff there. I had a tummy tuck with lipo on my flanks and I could not be happier with my results. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, communicative and much more. If you want excellent results with wonderful customer service, go to Dr. Russo!
I found Dr Russo and his staff to be warm welcoming and professional . They are very knowledgeable and top of their field . I had an upper lower Bleph with “forehead “ package . I couldn’t be happier with the results and Dr Russo was just as invested in outcome myself! I would highly recommend Dr Russo ! Updated on 7 May 2021: Professional , kind and an artist. Office staff was a kind and through as Dr Russo . His office space Is clean and modern . I love my results and would not hesitate to refer to him all that I know!
After 2 children i went from a barely b to a hardly a. I was sick of not filling in a bathingsuit or dress. I was sick of padding and sagging and just feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. I finally tool the plunge. I look forward to sharing updates once I can see them fully unbandanged! Updated on 28 Oct 2020: Healing update. Starting to drop. Scars are a bit itchy but everyday im feeling a bit stronger Really excited about the way I fill out a top and looking forward theum to heal fully!! So happy I went forward with it all. I was most scared about how the kids would handle it but they have been very careful around my boo boo ...
Amazing, easy , my breasts look beautiful!! They communicated so well with all the pandemic going on .. they made me feel safe and it wasn’t as painful as I thought... scars are barely noticeable! Perfect size!

Dr. Russo did an amazing job, and I would recommend him to anyone. His staff is so welcoming, and he is kind and understanding (while also being honest!!!!) I absolutely love my chin lipo results, and I would definitely go back there if I get anything else done. Updated on 10 Feb 2021: I’m about one year post op now, and I swear the results just keep getting better. I was able to lose 35 pounds, as I finally got my confidence back!! This was seriously the best thing I’ve ever done, and this is the team to do it!
I came to Dr. Russo after I had a few coworkers and friends refer me to him. I've had other consults in Seattle and in NYC, but something set him apart. That something was that he was upfront about everything. It wasn't just me walking in and seeing if I was a good consult, it was going over sizing, cost, recovery, EVERYTHING. He was dedicated to making sure all my questions were answered and fears were at ease before I put a single dollar towards my surgery. Yes, the first week after my surgery was rough, my skin was stretched a bit to fit the implants. Probably the worst pain I've ever felt, but I would do it again if i had. I would go through all of that again because Russo and his team are kind, professional. and put out AMAZING results. I recommend him to everyone, he's changed my confidence and how I view myself. Thank you isn't enough, he gave me something no one else could.
I have been getting Botox and fillers for over 10 years. After a recent unfortunate experience at another office, A friend of mine recommended I go to Dr Russo. He was comforting, listened to my concerns and took great care to explain how he was going to fix what I had done elsewhere. The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable, and treated me as if I had been their client for years. Dr. Russo followed thru with his plan and I am more than ecstatic about the results! I have already made an appointment to go back in three weeks to try a new procedure. I will definitely recommend his services to everyone. Heck, I think he injects magic into his patients because I feel and look amazing! Noel McKinnon
