The technique that I use for breast augmentation is routinely fast recovery.  You can go back to work in 2-3 days and resume all normal activities within 2-3 weeks.  The technique involves submuscular placement of the implants.  There is generally minimal bleeding from this procedure.  We use self dissolving sutures so there are no sutures to be removed.  There is minimal swelling or pain afterwards.

You have a history of having cysts removed from your breasts three times.  I assume that it is always in the same location and not three separate cysts.  It sounds like the complete wall of the cysts were not properly excised at least the first two times and that is why they recurred.  Hopefully, the third time the complete cyst and its wall was excised and that is why you have had no problems for the past three to five years.  With that history, I think it is safe to have breast implants if you are not having any active infection going on with your breasts.   Usually I perform the implants in a submuscular plane which is away and deeper than the level of your cysts.  It should be safe.

From the appearance of your left breast only, I feel that you would benefit from a lift and implants.  I think you need the nipple areaola complex to be repositioned slightly higher and that can be achieved with a vertical ellipse mastopexy.  You may not need a horizontal component to the breast lift.  I would recommend implants in the range of 300-350 cc depending on the breast size you wish to achieve and your body size.

It appears from your pictures that you have good skin tone but just a protuberant mid abdomen.  I recommend exercises to tighten your abdominal muscles, such as sit ups.  I think you may benefit from liposuction to the mid abdomen.  However, I do not feel that a tummy tuck is necessary for you at this time.

Cigarette smoking is harmful for surgery because the smoke inhaled during smoking causes constriction of the arterioles which supply blood and oxygen to the tissues, especially the skin necessary for healing after surgery.  Although it takes time for the effects of smoking to dissipate, the longer before the surgery that you can stop smoking the better.  I think that if you completely stop one week before tummy tuck surgery, it would be safe to proceed with your surgery.  But if you can allow more time, it would be better and safer.

It is possible to perform liposuction on the stomach area after lapbands surgery.  You should let your plastic surgeon know beforehand so that he/she is aware of the port and can avoid damage to it during the procedure.

You need to be examined by a doctor to see what is the cause for your swollen lymph node.  It can be due to inflammatory causes, infection, but can also be a sign of a malignancy.  This needs to be checked out.  I would recommend checking out the cause for your swollen lymph before having your breast augmentation surgery.

You are 53 now and I assume finished with child bearing.  Actually, provided you are otherwise healthy, you are at the perfect age for a tummy tuck, which is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from your abdomen and tighten the abdominal muscles.  I suggest that you consult a board certified plastic surgeon for a professional opinion.

It appears that you have large, pendulous breast, a condition called macromastia.  I think that you would benefit from a surgical procedure called bilateral reduction mammoplasty, which can be performed for you by a plastic surgeon.  I would start with a consultation with a plastic surgeon who can evaluate you, examine you, take pictures, and help you obtain coverage or financing if needed.

I think an examination by a plastic surgeon would be necessary to properly answer your question.  Some possible solutions that may be considered are fat transfer from another part of your body, soft tissue fillers, such as juvederm restylane, or bellafil, or you may benefit from a face lift.

Patience is the key

To be perfectly honest, I was frightened at my appearance after surgery and even few days after. You will look like you’ve been in a wreck or someone’s beat you up. First day home , I took a sneak peek and my lid started bleeding. Yes, panic, but it’s normal unless excessive. Upon post visit after 4 days , told Dr. and secretary was scared I’d gotten Ptosis from it because kids looked sleepy. They both said to give it more time and that I’m swelling. Now it’s been almost two weeks and I’ve had compliments on my lids and how one can’t really see the incision. I’m starting to see my eyes appear more natural and less sleepy look from the swelling. Yes, I would recommend Dr. Tang. His prices are reasonable , does awesome job on not having stitches look visible in short time and confident and expert in what to expect. What I mean by this is the fact I was having doubts because some drooping , but he said my lids need more time and he’s absolutely right. I am starting see the difference and see that patience ( this only been less than two weeks) with this surgery or any other is a necessity. Dr. Tang will definitely get a thumbs up and referrals from me.

Breast Augmentation

Love My New Breast

I recently had an breast augmentation done with Dr. Tang at CyFair Plastic Surgery. I must tell you my whole ENTIRE experience was awesome from the consult to the actual procedure! His staff was also excellent in offering helpful information. My recovery was not difficult at all I had very little pain. Without any hesitation if I had to do it all over again I'd only chose Dr.Tang. His work gave me exactly what I wanted a natural look. I absolutely love my new breast. I recommend anyone to go see Dr.James Tang!

Revision Rhinoplasty

Crenglish

Emergency Rhino Revision

I went to Dr. Tang for rhinoplasty 5 years ago, and had to recently return for a revision. I suffer an unfortunate accident, in the middle of the night, and needed emergency reconstruction. I called Dr. Tang's office first thing that morning, and not only did he answer the call personally, but he told me to come in right away! When I got to his office I was distraught. But Dr. Tang jumped straight into action! Even though he doesn't usually perform surgery on Mondays, he immediately called a nurse for assistance, had me prepped, and performed the revision right then and there! Dr. Tang is so kind that he took what I had in my pocket and didn't bother me about the balance owed. He saw the genuine relief on my face, patted my shoulder and told me to take care. Not only is Dr. Tang a wonderful surgeon, he is a compassionate philanthropist. Thank you Dr. Tang.

Done Lapped Disease - Houston, TX

Great experience with the best of care. I had an umbilical hernia repaired at birth that left an ugly scar above my naval as well as 2 C-sections with 9 and 10 pound babies, needless to say I had a muffin top also known as Done lapped disease (my belly done lapped over my belt). I couldn't have asked for better results. Take a look!

55 Single After 20 Plus Years, New Life! - Cypress, TX

Dr. Tang did a great job on my procedure. Results are amazing. The first time I saw my flat stomach I literally cried. The first day was pretty painful but after that with the pain medication it was very tolerable. I was able to start exercising after about 7 weeks and just feel so much more confident. It has been almost 8 months now and still can't believe its me when I look in the mirror. Will definitely go back to Dr. Tang should I decide to do any other procedures and would recommend him 100%.
