A: The way to decide depends on the skin laxity above the belly button. If you can pinch the skin and have good laxity, then you need a full tummy tuck. If the area above is very tight, then you might be able to get away with mini. My experience has been that patients are usually happier with the full compared to the mini. Your surgeon should be able to direct you the right way. Also, amount of pregnancies you had or weight changes play a role. The more you have, the more likely you need a full. I hope that helps, and I hope I didn’t make it more complicated for you.
A: Awake 360 liposuction to the thighs is a very good option. Make sure to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has a lot of experience when it comes to doing awake procedures. I hope that helps.
A: The best treatment would be liposuction. It would be best to choose a surgeon who does a high volume of lipedema liposuction due to the extreme necessity for expertise, especially in areas such as knees, calves, and ankles. In most cases, we prefer Power Assisted Liposuction using tumescent anesthesia.
Make sure also that your surgeon is double-board-certified. I hope this helps.
A: It is about choosing the right dimensions that fit your breast width. Measurements and fitting the right implant will give you the best results.
Make sure that you're evaluated by a specialist, who performs large volumes of breast augmentation with great lots of before and afters. Also, make sure that the physician is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
A: If a patient already reached a stable weight, then he can be a good candidate for a tummy tuck. However, if someone is still ACTIVELY losing weight, then he has to wait until it stabilizes at least around six(6) months before he may proceed with the procedure. Otherwise, if he keeps losing weight and does the tummy tuck, there is a greater chance that he will have more laxity in the future.
Make sure to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon if you wish to proceed with the procedure.
I hope this helps.
