Dear Terrific. Your pictures are a little confusing. It seems that the middle one is your current condition and the other 2 are your goal ? In any event, it appears that you have moderate ptosis (droopiness) , so you need a lift procedure in order to give you a youthful and attractive breasts. The anchor lift is not necessary in your case and a mini lift (donut lift) will be sufficient to achieve your goal without vertical and horizontal scars Always consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly , check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice cleavage, nice projection, nice scars and have a natural look.

Dear New Yorker, I agree with you. Sub areola incision is the best approach for breasts augmentation surgery for many reasons. I have been using that technique for 38 years on over 3000 patients and used exclusively saline implants. From observing your picture it appears that you have quite large areola. You can benefit from areola reduction using the mini lift (donut) technique if it is a concern for you. You are welcomed to contact my office if you can't find a surgeon in your area who specializes in sub areola incision for breasts augmentation surgery. Always consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after photo of breasts augmentation revision in the photo gallery to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice scar, nice cleavage, nice projection, full upper pole and natural looking.

Dear Virginian, Thanks for posting your picture. From observing your picture Your breasts appear C cup with ptosis (droopiness) level 3. Also , the right nipple is closer to the midline than the left one and that can be corrected in order to achieve symmetry. I have been in practice for 38 years and what I have noticed through the years is that women at your age do not like large breasts. A fair number of my patients who got large breasts in their youth , request reduction at older age. so, I would think that just a full lift (key hole) will satisfy you. However , if you would like larger breasts that can be done with implants. The full lift procedure gives you nice projection, fuller upper pole and tighter lower pole that exposes the sub mammary crease. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous and follow the above mentioned description plus nice scars.

Dear Dreamygal, Thanks for posting your pictures, though seeing the before pictures would be helpful. From observing your pictures you appear to be asymmetrical in regard to breasts size. Right breast is noticeably larger than left breast by maybe half size. You will have to be measured to ascertain that you are 32 D cup size, because the different photos reveal different impressions. If indeed you are 32 D cup size and you want to be symmetrical 32DD you will have to change the implants to 475 cc on the right and 525 cc on the left. In regard to the wide cleavage, it is not because of your anatomy, but rather because the medial muscle was not dissected enough towards the midline. So you will need medial capsulotomy (scar release) to get nice cleavage and you will need also superior capsulotomy to accommodate the larger implants and get nice upper slope. To achieve it the best approach is via sub areola incision. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice cleavage, symmetrical, nice projection and natural looking.

Dear Australian, Thanks for posting your relaxed and tightened butt pictures. The reason for the butt deformity in the tightened position is that your implants are placed intra muscular. When you tighten your Gluts , the implants are displaced medially , creating the deformity that you dislike. My recommendation is to replace the oval implants with round implants and place them in the sub fascial ( on top of the muscle) level. That will prevent the deformity when you squeeze your butt. I would also recommend a moderately bigger implants, possibly 480 cc, which will give you more fullness at the upper butt area, Always consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who perform lots of butt implants surgery in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly , check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with one incision, nice projection, round hips and natural look.

Dear Mineiro, Thanks for posting your before and after pictures. It would have been helpful to see your side view of the after pictures. From observing your pictures I do not see bottoming out, but rather capsule contracture of the left breast, (wider left cleavage) which coincide with your symptoms of pain. As far as the swelling, if you look at the before picture, you can see that the left breast is noticeably bigger than the right one, which gave you the impression of swelling, but it is just size asymmetry. The solution to your concerns is left breast capsulotomy (scar release) which will soften the breast, reduce, or even remove the pain and improve on your cleavage. Always consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most important, check the before and after pictures of redo breasts augmentation in the photo gallery to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice cleavage, nice projection, symmetrical and natural looking.

Dear MinnieMoo25, Thanks for posting you before and after pictures, though it would have been helpful to have pictures without nipple cover, before picture of side view and after pictures with arms down. In any event, from the posted pictures the following is noticed: 1. Wide cleavage and upper pole capsule contracture. 2. Asymmetrical right breast sub mammary crease. It is lower than left crease and has double bubble deformity The corrective procedure are medial and superior capsulotomy (scar release) and right breast inferior Capsulorrhaphy (internal bra). Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures of redo breasts augmentation in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice cleavage, nice projection, nice upper pole slope, symmetrical and natural looking.

Dear Ovirivahine, Thanks for your question, which I think is an important one. In my practice I recommend to my patients who had implant surgery of any kind - Breasts, Butt, Calf etc who are planning to have procedures like deep dental cleaning, dental extraction, colonoscopy etc to take antibiotics the night before, the morning of and 12 hours later. The theory behind it is that these procedures send bacteria into the blood stream and these bacteria sometimes can land on the implant causing Biofilm and capsule contracture. I ask these patients to call my office if their doctor refuses to prescribe them the antibiotics and we do it for them. I had few patients who developed Biofilm and severe capsule contracture years after their breasts augmentation surgery as a result of, most likely, not complying with my policy. Wishing you good luck, Dr Widder widderplasticsurgery.com

Dear Marylander, Thanks for your inquiry. It would have been helpful to see your front and side view pictures. As far as female vs male tummy tuck I can tell you that there is no difference. The anatomy is the same. Usually it involves abdominal muscles and skin tightening. I have performed tummy tuck surgery on over 1500 females and about 20 on males in my 38 years of plastic surgery practice., This ratio is quite typical since the main reason for tummy tuck surgery is child delivery that causes significant abdominal muscles and skin laxity. This ratio might change since the use of Semaglutides injection (Ozempic, Wegovy etc) males can lose weight relatively effortlessly , so more men will be inclined to ask for tummy tuck surgery. The outcome of tummy tuck surgery involves flat stomach with youthful looking skin, improved posture, narrower waists and most likely weight loss due to the muscles tightening that reduces the sense of hunger and the amount of food that one can consume. Always consult with experience board certified plastic surgeons who perform surgery in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery to make sure that they are numerous and attractive as described above. All the best, Dr Widder widderplasticsurgery.com

Dear Marylander, Thanks for posting your pictures and sorry for your problem. Your problem is not Keloid, which is like a tumor and the scar grows beyond the borders of the incisions, but rather hypertrophic scar, which is thick scar. As far as corrective procedures, you have 2 options: 1. Injection with Kenalog (steroid) into the scar. It will shrink the scar and help with the Pruritus (Itching). 2. Scar revision - cutting out the old scar, injecting the wounds with Kenalog and wound closure with continuous internal dissolving sutures. Talk to your plastic surgeon about these option and I am sure that he/she will be able to help you to improve on your problem. All the best, Dr Widder widderplasticsurgery.com

From Breast Cancer to Confident Again—with Results I Didn’t Think Were Possible.

I first saw Dr. Widder 25 years ago for a breast augmentation. He achieved beautiful results that exceeded my expectations. All these years later and after breast cancer, a bi-lateral mastectomy and multiple disappointing reconstructions with other doctors, I returned to him for help. Today, just shy of one week after surgery, I’m amazed by the transformation. His skill, care, and attention to detail are unmatched. I trust him completely and recommend him without hesitation. I brought to him a significant challenge in what needed to be corrected and he used his tremendous skill and expertise to achieve a great medical and aesthetic outcome. He also performed a subtle alarplasty that I couldn’t be more happy about.

I Had an Amazing Experience with Dr Widder and His Staff

My experience with Dr Widder and his staff was amazing! I always wanted some sort of augmentation to my butt, but I’ve always been too skinny for a bbl. I went to talk to Dr widder about implants and he was super supportive and told me everything I wanted to hear. It was so refreshing going to a plastic surgeon that actually listens and gives you exactly what you want!! I set up my surgery with him almost immediately. The day of my surgery I was very nervous, but his nurse JoJo was amazing!! She stayed with me the whole entire time and comforted me the whole time even when I got the epidural shot. She held my hand with me up until the second I fell asleep. Dr widder and his staff are literally the sweetest people ever and made this whole experience so much better. I am only 2 days post op, but I can already say my results are AMAZING!! I’m not having much pain, just super sore. I already got off the pain meds because they were making me super nauseous, but I really honestly do not need them. I don’t have very many before and after pics but I will keep updating this review as time goes on! THANK YOU DR WIDDER YOURE THE BEST! Updated on 19 May 2025: Officially 1 week post op!! I am feeling really good. I’m off all meds and have been able to walk around (slowly) during the day. I have to leave my drains in until Friday because I had 50cc of liquid still, but it is fine because my butt looks amazing!!! Updated on 23 May 2025: Just got my drains removed today, I only had 25cc of drainage. The drains being taken out weren’t painful, just weird feeling but Dr widder was super quick with taking them out. I tried clothes on for the first time today and it looks SO GOOD!!! Updated on 9 Jun 2025: Tuesday will be 4 weeks for me and I am still so happy!! It’s getting bigger as it drops and it looks so natural and is starting to soften up already. My incisions are also almost completely healed already. It looks amazing!! Updated on 17 Jun 2025: Hey guys! I am officially about 1 month post-op. I got my bandage taken off, can finally sit and lay on my butt, can swim and shower normally, and can FINALLY slowly start exercising again!! My butt is definitely dropping and getting bigger!! It is still a little hard, but not even close to how hard it was at first. It looks so natural and good!! Updated on 9 Jul 2025: Hey everyone, it’s been about 7 weeks. I can finally be almost completely normal again. I am back to fully working out and being able to sit on my butt comfortably. The only thing that still is taking some getting used to is sleeping on my back. My butt has definitely been dropping and getting bigger as time goes on. It still looks so natural and amazing!

Butt Implant Instead of a BBL

I had gluteal implants with Dr. Widder and couldn't be happier with the results. I workout/ squat yet with being lean it was impossible for me to put on enough mass or fat for a successful BBL. I searched for a long time before coming across Dr. Widder. His knowledge of the anatomy of the region was evident immediately. Pre& Post op care all was seamless. He has a discerning eye and is keen to detail. He has a wonderful surgical center where he operates and has a wonderful team assisting him. I did extensive research and the way Dr Widder performs this surgery leaves you with no visible scaring, if anything a better intergluteal cleft. Photo is pre and post-op ( 10 days, swelling still present).

The implants blend perfectly into my natural butt

Results: I am only a couple weeks post op of getting butt implants by Dr. Widder but I couldn't be happier with my results! I am smaller (5'3 and 100lbs) so I got implants sized 430 ccs Oval. I was too thin for a bbl and wanted something more permanent/lasting and these implants provide exactly that. I had previously gotten butt shots by a different surgeon and saw no difference in my results. My results with Dr Widder look natural (as if I built my glutes in the gym) and provide perfect projection and volume that's proportionate to my smaller frame. One worry I had was that the implant would stick out, but even two weeks post op the implants blend perfectly into my natural butt. I hope to update with before and after pictures once I am further recovered. I am so much more confident and couldn't be happier :) Experience: Dr. Widder and his team provided a great experience start to finish. I was very indecisive on implant sizing and Dr. Widder and his team (Jojo and Vanessa) were extremely accommodating in helping me try out different sizes and picking the perfect implant for me. Of all my procedures I have never felt so cared for pre/post op by the surgeon and nurses! They were extremely thorough and personable, which eased all of my anxieties around the surgery.

Wonderful breast augmentation, 1 month post-op & so happy to see the progress

Getting my breast augmentation done by Dr Widder is one of the best decisions and self-investments! A friend of mine, who had her breast augmentation done by Dr Widder, recommended me to get a consultation. Dr Widder listened and answered all my questions and concerns during consultation (and I asked a lot of questions). I was indecisive about the new breast size, and after multiple conversations I decided to go with what’s recommended, and I’m glad I listened! I am very happy with the result. I got a little nervous as we got closer to surgery day. With kindness and calming demeanor, Dr Widder and the team provided the reassurance that I needed. Jojo, with her warmth and always welcoming smile made the process so easy; before, during, and after surgery. I had some issues with my pharmacy and Vanessa went out of her way to help me and got it resolved on time for surgery. Surgery was a breeze, the team made me feel calm and excited! had no issues throughout the process. I continue to feel very much cared for during my follow up appointments with Dr Widder. I am at 1 month post op today, and so happy to see the progress as I go through my healing and recovery. I am extremely grateful for Dr Widder and his team!

Symmetrical while still maintaining a natural, youthful look

I am a 21 y/o female who is now 2 weeks Post-Op from a Mastopexy performed by Dr. Widder. I had extremely saggy breasts due to weight fluctuations and a 60 pound weight loss a little over two years ago which I have since maintained. I met with a number of doctors, but ended up choosing Dr. Widder due to his flexible scheduling, competitive pricing, and years of experience. I was super hesitant to go through with the surgery as I am still young and am terrified of all things needles, blood, ect.; however Dr. Widder and his team exceeded my expectations. Dr. Widder was able to reposition my breasts 3 inches above from where they originally sat and reshape my areoles — keeping them symmetrical while still maintaining a natural, youthful look. I was also worried about potential complications and the recovery process, however it was a breeze. I have had zero issues and still have sensation in both nipples. In terms of recovery, the “pain” truly is mild to moderate. By day three I only experienced minor discomfort and by day five I felt good enough to go out to dinner with friends. I am so pleased with my results and have finally gained my confidence back — my mom is even considering getting her breasts done by Dr. Widder after seeing mine! Thank you Dr. Widder and Team!

Stop Scrolling! Dr. Widder is the Surgeon for You!

I cannot recommend Dr. Widder enough for anyone considering a consult or surgery. My experience with Dr. Widder has been nothing short of exceptional. This marks my third surgery with him, and I am beyond thrilled with the results. Dr. Widder is not just an incredibly skilled and experienced surgeon, but he genuinely cares about the health and well-being of his patients. His dedication to making his patients happy throughout their entire journey sets him apart. Additionally, his staff (JoJo and Vanessa) feel like an extension of family, offering wonderful and caring support. My first surgery, a Tummy Tuck, resulted in a stomach that exceeded my expectations. I now have the most beautiful tummy, even better than in my 20s. I couldn't be happier with the results. The second surgery, Silicone Implant Removal, was prompted by an accident where I discovered ruptured implants. Dr. Widder promptly and expertly handled my case, swiftly removing the ruptured implant and meticulously cleaning out any remaining silicone. He replaced them with saline implants, effectively addressing any potential health risks. His care and precision in this delicate procedure not only saved me from further complications but restored my confidence and beauty. Following that, I had a Breast Lift a few weeks later. I am ecstatic with the results! My breasts are now perky, natural-looking, and exactly where they should be. Dr. Widder's expertise ensured no more sagging or misplacement, leaving me with results that are nothing short of perfection. I am immensely grateful to Dr. Widder and his incredible team for their care and expertise. If you're considering any cosmetic procedure or surgery, do yourself a favor and consult with Dr. Widder. He's not just a phenomenal surgeon but also someone who genuinely cares about his patients' well-being and satisfaction. Updated on 17 Dec 2023: Posting an update with a few before and after photos to show the remarkable transformation in these before and after images. Tummy tuck, implant removal/exchange and breast lift. Dr. Widder is absolutely amazing!

Butt Implants 600cc - Best Doctor Around

***1 month update *** Dr. Widder … what a wonderful doctor… he has taken great care of me throughout this process. He is so patient and kind. I can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. My follow up appointments have been going so well. I couldn’t be more happy. Dr. Widder is so thorough and walk me through everything that he does. I’ve researched many doctors and have seen such horrible scars. Dr. Widder uses ONE small incision at the crease of the butt for the implants and it’s healing up great. Other doctors use two different incisions and they are big and ugly. I’m so happy I went here. Money well spent. And thank you JoJo and Vanessa… (his office staff) … you two are wonderful and so friendly and answer all my silly questions. Ladies & men! Stop what you doing and look no further… you have found the one! I was skeptical going to a new doctor but Dr. Widder is one of the best who have done many butt implants. I can not be more please with the look. Had a BBL before but I don’t have a lot of fat so I decided on butt implants … so far I’m glad I went this route. I truly felt like family. Dr. Widder, Vanessa, my girl JoJo, Ms Beverly, the scrub tech (I think Dee), the anesthesiologist Mr Todd. Everyone was wonderful. I felt comfortable through the entire process. I highly recommend Dr. Widder. He is the best. Oh and I was able to get into surgery quickly because he has his own surgical center. Price was good… more affordable than others I contacted. And after surgery just make sure y’all not doing too much and follow the doctors orders and you will have a successful outcome and quick recovery.
