Doctor Q&A

Answer from Dr. Sean Hill, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon at Lone Star Plastic Surgery – Frisco, TX:
Thank you for sharing your question and photos, they help tremendously in assessing what might be happening. Based on the appearance you described and what I can see, it does appear that bottoming out is a possibility.

The images you posted do not show a diastasis, but the entire extent of the rectus muscles is not visualized. A board-certified plastic surgeon can generally make the diagnosis during a physical exam. You may want to consider a consultation for a more definitive answer

Dear jaz209,

it depends on the type of injections as some can cause fat atrophy at the injection site. It is best to consult your plastic surgeon and get his opinion.

Hello, I can summarise the recovery process for you:Your rhinoplasty will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. When you wake up from surgery, you will still be able to breathe through your nose, but expect it to feel similar to having a severe cold or congestion. For about a week, you may experience fluctuating nasal blockage — sometimes more open, sometimes more closed.You will have swelling around the eyes and nose, which is completely normal. Bruising varies from person to person;...

Thank you for your question.A breast lift (mastopexy) and a reverse tummy tuck are two different procedures, even though both are performed in the upper abdomen and breast area.
The incision used for a breast lift by itself does not allow us to “pull up” the stomach skin. To tighten that upper abdominal skin, we need to use the specific reverse tummy tuck technique, which uses incisions placed in the breast fold and is designed to remove and lift excess upper-abdominal skin.
In some pat...

Yes it is possible. But we should know the surgical technique for previous surgery. Or you should sent your pictures.

Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and...

Thank you for your photos. You appeared to be young and therefore a direct brow lift where the incision is placed just above your eyebrows seems a bit aggressive. A direct brow lift is a good option in older patients whose brows hang low. If an upper blepharoplasty is performed in these patients, it fixes the brow into that lower position. Your brow looks like it is in reasonable position and therefore an upper blepharoplasty would be your best option to equalize and rejuvenate your upper...

It is impossible to give you good advice without in person evaluation or at least teleconference. Skin tone, thickness and consistence of the underlying fat deposits are important components of decision making; liposuction/skin tightening or skin removal (with scar) are possible options. Good luck.

Hi there! It would be helpful to know what you are trying to achieve in terms of aesthetic concerns and goals. You have very little skin laxity or sagging, and you may see great enhancements in face shape/balance with midface volume enhancement.
