CLAIM YOUR PROFILENow that your weight is stable and at a point that you are happy, it's a great time to have surgery. Make sure you are also fit from a nutritional and physical endurance standpoint. Tummy tuck is a very powerful surgery and as long as you find a safe surgeon, I think it is good for your long term health. It's a big surgery however, so be very careful about how many additional procedures you add. Based on your photos, it looks like removal of skin around your entire waist, front and back, combined with a breast lift is the best set of options. Breast implants make breasts larger (and rounder) but do not lift and tighten the tissues. You can always add implants after your lift, but you really need a lift to get the toned results you are probably looking for after so much weight loss. Best wishes! No matter what you do you have a lovely figure. Congratulations!

It is important for any patient to know that asymmetry is normal and completely unavoidable. A 30 cc difference in your breast implants should be very subtle unless your body has other symmetry issues, which it probably does. The shape of your rib cage, the strength of your muscle, the amount of surgical inflammation, and the amount of loose skin or fat on one side versus the other are only part of the reason why one side might be different. If you look for asymmetry you can always find it. It might help you to try very hard not to focus on your symmetry for another couple months (I know it's hard). You might find that your mind and body adjust and you may start to feel much more comfortable. Best wishes!

Breast reduction surgery has significant health benefits for anyone who suffers due to their breast size. However, acquiring insurance coverage is very complicated, most likely to purposely limit the amount of payments toward this surgery. First, you need to contact your insurance carrier. They will tell you this is a covered benefit, however there are always limitations to the coverage. As long as you are talking to the right (experienced/knowledgeable) person they should be able to give you a list of requirements, such as doctor's letter, years of PT, documented weight loss, amount of tissue required, covered facilities, covered physicians, amount of coverage, etc. Additionally, you should find out how much it will cost you even with your insurance benefit. The vast majority of my patients self pay for breast reduction because after all of these calculations, it's not worth it to them.

I have found that bra bands after surgery help reduce some of the bruising and swelling in the first 3 days after breast augmentation for most people. When the band is situated on the top half of the breast, it also gives some compression to the muscle if you have submuscular implants. Compression/pressure encourages relaxation of the muscle for both improved comfort and aesthetics. Some people have continued muscle spasm for weeks, others have minimal so each person has a different experience. If you are already happy with the shape and position of your implants and you are past the initial swelling phase of surgery, I bet your surgeon won't require you to continue to wear it. They are uncomfortable!

Well performed facelift surgery is one of the best most natural looking solutions for smoothing skin and supporting lower eyelids. From the limited views of your face, you could benefit from more volume. It's possible the best option for you is to have your prior fat grafting made more even with an additional session of fat or possibly other fillers? Best wishes!

Labiaplasty is an extremely rewarding surgery for all women who suffer from irritation of inner labia which hang below the outer labia. The clitoral hood will appear imbalanced/unnatural if it is not also trimmed. The problem exists for women whose clitoris will become too exposed if too much tissue is removed. There is a limit to skin removal because a natural balanced appearance is typically as important as removal of the symptomatic hanging tissue. Surgeons who are not comfortable removing clitoral hood, may not be experienced enough to offer you a good outcome.

Based on your photos and complaints, I expect you will be extremely happy with a labiaplasty. Do some research so you can ask the right questions in order to chose your surgeon carefully. Best wishes!!

Your photo shows stretched out muscles and extra skin which is exactly what can be treated best with tummy tuck. However you want more children and you are young. This isn't the answer you might be hoping for, but I recommend setting some fitness goals with professional help, and I bet you can be very happy with an improvement that will be life changing and a lot less risky and expensive - not to mention healthy for your future pregnancies. It will also help you get the most out of a tummy tuck in the future if you still need it.

Plastic surgeons typically have very excellent tissue handling skill and are a great resource if you require removal of implanted devices or other foreign objects during your scheduled surgery. The important issue is to ensure that you have full approval of the physician who inserted the device and communication between that physician and your surgeon prior to the planned removal. There may also be an added cost as this will increase the time of your surgery.

It is very good of you to question whether your injury will affect your surgery. In order to have the most safe recovery/result, it is important to be in optimal health. Changing your medications (especially hormones), having other surgeries, or coming down with an infection prior to surgery should prompt a conversation with your surgeon as these things could conflict with the safety of your healing from any surgery, but especially a big surgery such as mommy makeover. A bruise on an area which is not involved in the surgery, and which does not affect your ability to walk is probably not significant.

This is a procedure I've wanted for 17 years, since the birth of my youngest, after 4 kids and 3 C-sections I was more than ready. I did some research and decided on Dr. Keen. She and her staff were friendly, their facilities beautiful, the operation went smoothly and I am recovering well. They texted me several times to check on me and encouraged me to reach out at any time. Although I'm very swollen still (only 9 days post-op) I am thrilled with the results. I highly recommend her!!!!
I have always been small-chested but got a taste of what larger, fuller breasts would feel like while nursing my daughter. After nursing, they of course returned to their small size... not sure what was more deflated - my breasts or my spirit. I want only a very subtle boost so I can fill out my bras and bikinis, and stop worrying about whether or not my padding is adjusted properly. I'm very active and think I would have a difficult time going big. I've found this site to be incredibly helpful while researching a BA, though I've found very few reviews around smaller implants. Hoping that my experience may be helpful to others as well! Updated on 18 Aug 2020: Here are a few before photos. Really struggled mentally with all of this. I haven’t told my parents since I know they would never understand, and my sister broke down in tears when I told her I was considering it. I’ve had to remind myself so many times that it’s my body and my decision. Updated on 18 Aug 2020: Surgery day was 8/14/20. All went well! I checked in, changed, and met with the nurse, anesthesiologist, and my ps. They were all so warm and friendly, and made me feel at ease for the big day. I was awake before I knew it and didn’t seem to have any adverse reactions to the general. No pain, just pressure. Working on light stretches. Updated on 3 Sep 2020: Feeling better and better every day. My nipples are incredibly sensitive still (which I love!) though, I have heard that will go away as the implants settle in. I still have the surgical tape on since my surgeon and nurses said I should just wait until the strips fall off on their own. I’m eager to see what the incisions look like. I still can’t get used to seeing myself in the mirror... I’m loving how they’re looking so far! Updated on 6 Sep 2020: Just passed the 3 week point and I couldn’t be happier with my results so far. I still have a bit of sensitivity in my nipples, but it’s subsiding bit by bit every day. All of my clothes and bras that I had before still fit... I’m simply filling them out now and don’t need the padding that I used to require. Updated on 13 Sep 2020: It’s been just over 4 weeks since my BA and I kept the surgical strips on as long as possible. Just seeing the incisions for the first time and am tickled with the results since I can barely see a line. I think I expected much worse. I can’t say enough wonderful things about my surgeon. I’m thrilled with my overall results! Updated on 19 Sep 2020: It’s been just over five weeks and I’m feeling great. Had my one month post op appointment this week and my doc had no concerns about my progress. I’m really happy with how they’re looking. The incisions are healing nicely as well. They still feel a bit big to me, but again, I think I’m just not used to having anything (I also realize I went with one of the smallest implant sizes available for my body dimensions.) It’s subtle enough that people have no idea which is exactly what I wanted. Yet, I feel such a boost of confidence!!
Dr. Angela Keen and staff are amazing. I had a few procedures done in the past with Dr. Keen and followed up with skin care. I worked with Sarah Mayo, their master aesthetician. She performed the IPL treatment on my face and I had amazing results. Dr. Keen's office is inviting and positive. Look forward to working with them again!
I can’t imagine trusting anyone else to perform my facelift. Dr. Keen has a very distinguished academic and surgical background, yet she is incredibly warm and approachable. Dr. Keen’s whole staff is truly invested in providing outstanding care.
I've been going to Sarah for over a year now for facials, sebaceous hyperplacia treatments, and eyebrow microblading and just added laser for facial capillaries to the list on my last visit. Sarah is great, she takes her time with you and is as gentle as she can be :-) Her facials are amazing, she leave you feeling like a relaxed bowl of jello :-) This lady knows her stuff and I trust her completely. The staff there is great as well, they take good care of you.
This was my 3rd visit to see Lu Ann at Dr. Angela Keen's office and it won't be my last. She's a pro and knows her stuff. Bonus: she's funny as hell and will have you laughing through the pain :-) I'm happy with the results and trust her to do what she sees needs doing when I go in. My results last about a year. The office staff is awesome as well, they take good care of you.
I had an amazing treatment experience with Dr. Keans aesthetic nurse injector Lu Anne Landau. The consult was thorough and the results were impeccable! I highly recommend that anyone who wants to look younger, come consult with Lu Anne Thanks Lu Anne!
Dr Keen and her entire staff is incredible. I recently had a facelift performed by her. So happy with the results and with the entire process from start to finish. From my initial consultation, to the surgery itself to my aftercare all of my concerns, expectations and needs were addressed and met. They have my unconditional recommendation!
Angela Keen changed my life! My breast reduction surgery was life changing , I am so happy . Dr. Keen is so friendly and really helped me feel confident in my decision . Her office staff Is wonderful and i was treated so well from the consult to the post op. They answered all my questions when I called and were so nice and sweet about it . On the day of my surgery I was so nervous but Dr. Keen helped me feel calm and gave me the boost I needed. My results are amazing, I have never felt or looked better. I am so happy I found her and would highly recommend Dr. Keen !
Dr. Keen isn't pushy. She is kind and rational. Her entire staff is wonderful- responsive, helpful, and empathetic. I cannot say enough good things. I am beyond thrilled with my results! Not having to wear a bra and feeling confident in whatever swimsuit I choose is something I have always wanted.
