I received Microneedling / Vampire facial in September 2018 by a well known plastic surgical group on Long Island NY, LIPSG. I was treating 2 scars on my cheeks with microneedling and PRP. The PA Lauren Montmayor used the deepest needle setting 2.5mm. I had the procedure done twice. My result was more scarring, more lines, more wrinkles and absolutely awful orange peel texture.

I am currently 7 hours out and on meds. I haven't written intil now bc i honestly had so much anxiety about the prospect of going under for 5 hours I thought logging about it would make it worse. What i had done: tummy tuck (with short scar technique) breast lift (no inplant) and lipo of the flanks. I chose not to do implants because i just didn't want anything placed in me.

Every surgeon is different when it comes to post-operative care, so it is important to ask these questions. It is certainly reasonable to undergo a cosmetic procedure without the use of opioids if you are concerned. With my patients, I use a long-acting nerve block called Exparel which tricks the body into thinking you didn't have surgery for up to 72 hours. Most of my patients are able to get by with just using extra strength Tylenol. If something of additional strength is needed, medications such as Tramadol can be prescribed. I recommend speaking with your plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns.

With breast augmentations in patients who are very active like yourself, I recommend placing the implants above the muscles. This will reduce the implant shifting into the axillary region as well as the pectoral muscle animation. I recommend speaking with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Based on the photos provided, I believe that liposuction to your flanks would give you the snatched, hour-glass figure you are describing. I recommend speaking with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

With any breast implant procedure, you can expect discomfort and swelling intermittently within the first year. New activities such as upper body workouts, laying on your stomach, and even coughing can cause a short period of additional discomfort as the pectoral muscles are working with the added tension of the implant depending on if the location is above or below the muscle. If you are experiencing extreme discomfort, I recommend speaking with your plastic surgeon about your concerns.

With the coverage of a panniculectomy, you would need to cover any additional surgical time, cost, etc. I recommend speaking with your plastic surgeon to discuss your options and cost.
