Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

What I love most about being a plastic surgeon is the significant difference you can make in someone’s life. It’s not just about restoring form and function; in many ways, you give people their life back. Plastic surgery not only changes the way that others see you, but the way you see yourself.

15 Q&A

Q: 5 weeks post-op, my breasts are much too high/close and looks like snoopy deformity. Will they change at all? (Photos)
Answered by Dr. LovelaceJune 4, 2019

A: Congratulations on your surgery.  You are looking great at this point in your recovery.  It is still early, and I think that your implants will continue to get better with time.  Be patient, and I think you will have a great result.

Q: Is this an infection? Is Neosporin the best ointment to be used on incisions, especially. for sensitive skin? (Photos)
Answered by Dr. LovelaceJanuary 29, 2019

A: Thank you so much for the pictures and question.  This is something that is seen with breast reductions.  It is usually related to poor blood flow, but you can't tell everything from the photos.  This is seen at the T junction because blood flow has to get to those tips of skin, and tension from the weight of your breasts further disrupts the blood flow.  Make sure that you have close follow up with your surgeon, and follow their wound care instructions for your particular situation.  I usually have my patients wash this area with only soap and water, NO peroxide/alcohol.  Sometimes they need dressing changes, and sometimes just some Bacitracin.  It depends on how it looks in person.  Make sure to discuss this with your surgeon.  These heal, but they do take some time to heal, and can get larger before they get smaller.  Usually, they heal, and don't change the cosmetic result much.  Congratulations on your breast reduction.

Q: Will wrinkles and dents smooth out after time after breast reduction? (photos)
Answered by Dr. LovelaceJanuary 28, 2019

A: Thanks for the question and photos.  It looks like you are still very early after breast reduction, and most of these things get better with time.  If you are concerned, make an appointment with your surgeon for evaluation.

Q: What causes side boobs? I have wide but flat breasts now. I am concerned I’ll get side boobs!
Answered by Dr. LovelaceJanuary 28, 2019

A: Thanks for the question.  It is hard to tell without pictures or a physical exam.  My best advice would be to make a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for their advice.  Also, if you haven't done so, it would be good to try on implants in the size that you desire to see how they look in your clothes.

Q: Do I have keloid scars after breast augmentaiton? (Photo)
Answered by Dr. LovelaceSeptember 18, 2018

A: It is hard to tell from the pictures, but I do think that this is early keloid formation.  The best thing for you to do is to make an appointment with your board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation.  They may be able to do some steroid injections to help the scar flatten a little, and if this doesn't work, you may need a scar revision.  Thank you for the question.
