Doctor Q&A

Does animation deformity go away? Considering going dual plane but worried about animation, happy if it just happens whilst I’m at the gym training shoulders or doing pull ups, however once I’m finished do they return back? Or will they move over time even if I wear supportive bras?

I am a 38 year old female planning on getting a breast augmentation. I breastfed two babies many years ago and my breasts never recovered. They are small and deflated. I am thinking 350-400 cc motiva implants and willing to go over or under the muscle, whatever needed to get the aesthetic I am hoping for. I am 6 ft tall, 150 lbs, breast width is 13 cm, sternal notch to nipple is 22.5 cm, nipple to IMF is 6 cm. Very active, running and strength training. Currently a B cup, looking to get to D or DD. Wondering if I need a lift or just an augmentation. The last thing I want is bigger breasts that look saggy. Not super concerned with nipple position, they currently point forwards and I am ok with them being slightly lower on my breasts but absolutely want to avoid them pointing down and looking droopy.

If I want to get my tubes tied, can it be done during a tummy tuck by an OB- Gyn while the plastic surgeon does the tummy tuck? if it should not be done together, should i do the tube tying first and how long would you recommend waiting in between? Thanks!!

So tummy tuck incision opened up about 1 1/2 inches at 3 weeks post op.A few days later satarted seeing white cloth type stitches coming through the openings. Today another long string came out of the incision, but more like a fishing line material. Ive sent my PS the pics of the incision and he said I don't need to be seen at the office. Keep doing wound care and come back at 8 weeks post op. That's another 4 weeks. I have two other small holes as well. Will these heal on their own ?

I’m interested in rhinoplasty and would appreciate professional opinions on my nasal anatomy and what improvements may be possible. My main concerns are my bulbous nasal tip, the slight crookedness of my nose, the bump along my bridge, and what appears to be a hanging columella. Ideally, I’d like a straighter nose, a smoother bridge, a more refined tip, and less of a downward appearance beneath my nostrils. I would still like to maintain a natural appearance that complements my facial features. Based on my photos, what changes would you recommend, and what results could I realistically expect? I’m also considering a subnasal lip lift and would appreciate any advice on how these two procedures might affect one another.

i gotten the deviated septum sugery about 5 days ago, and i took out the blockers yesterday, while on my bed i rested on my side for a little bit, putting some pressure on my nose. now i feel like its harder to breathe through that nostril while my other is clear and can breathe very easily. am i just overly worried? is it just snot? or did it actually effect my nasal path?

Is this ok to do? I wore them yesterday for the first time for only about 30 minutes and they left impressions in my nose that lasted about 2 hours. Did I damage my results?

Recently lost 70+ lbs 5ft 157lbs now and I’m wanting to get a bbl but unsure if I should get a tummy tuck or bbl first? Some surgeons advised I do tummy tuck first then lipo with bbl but wouldnt that make me have loose skin on my stomach?

What does "fellow" mean on a American boards of cosmetic surgery diploma? Does it mean they are board certified? Less certified? More certified? I'm freaking out my mommy makeover is coming so fast I should know these things right?

I’m going to be honest, I did not expect being told I would need a FNG based on results I’ve seen online. They’ve always been more long than round, I‘m a 34E. I also obviously don’t want to risk nipple necrosis, but I also do not want to lose sensation in my nipples with a FNG. I also mentioned that I’m losing weight and I’m aware that I might just end up needing a lift. However, the surgeon mentioned that with the volume loss after losing weight I’m basically guaranteed to need a FNG. He mentioned that he could try doing a reduction without a FNG right now and when I end up losing weight, we could try doing a non FNG lift again depending on how much the ptosis is then. He did mention a higher risk of losing a nipple though. I was going to go for a couple of more consultations, but if these are my only options, I don’t think I even want to move forward with it. Is a FNG truly my only option?

my animia is bad my hemoglobin levels are at 61 and my iron is not even regerstering. The red blood cells I have are also undersized will this affect my abbillity to be approved for the surgery's I want

I am looking for some help regarding my chin. When I smile it seems so much more prominent and doesn’t blend in with the rest of my face. I have heard that Botox could help? Is this true and what should I be asking for?

Botox beneath my eye line makes my malar bags look worse. So I ask what procedure I could have to reduce these particular wrinkles. My plan was to get botox regularly to prevent wrinkles. Forehead and eye area. I think fillers would also make the bag more pronounced? I’ve not had fillers before. I’ve heard a mini facelift ( say in ten years, not now ) would be inappropriate? Photos are of untreated face. No botox for 7 months.

I wanted to get a facelift by now but I think I have to postpone it for 4 or 5 months. In the meantime I wanted to get a chemical peel....maybe TCA? Should I do that now or just wait until after the facelift? I was thinking the peel would make me look a little younger for the time being.

Hello! I'm gearing up to have surgery in a few days and a question just occurred to me: Will fluctuations in your weight (post-operatively) change the appearance of your implants? For instance, if one were to lose 10-15lbs after they had implants, would that maybe alter the appearance of the implants, making them appear more taught/round/fake? What change in appearance would gaining weight produce, if any? Does it largely depend on how a woman 'carries' her weight? Thanks!

I would like to know of any surgeons in the miami area who are comfortable with doing this procedure. I'm 5'6, 135lb, 21 and i have a large amount of fat on the back of my upper thighs on the side ( around button), not directly under the banana roll. I never had fat in this area until i put on weight recently and it is stubborn and won't shift with weight loss. It has also made me lose the curvature of my bum, so I'm looking to get a BBL and have liposuction on this area of my legs.

45 year old female, tall frame with long proportions. I've never had any surgeries. I lost 10-12 pounds a couple of years ago after the death of a loved one. I regained it back in terrible places. Target areas: abdomen, waist, flanks, full thigh, knees, circumferential calves, ankles, and upper arms. Wishlist: possible minor breast augmentation via fat transfer, 1/2 to 1 cup I believe I am seeking support for a continuous lower-body line transformation with circumferential lower-body harmonization. I want an ultra smooth, ultra natural taper for a long, linear leg line. I also want reduced upper arm size. Please let me know if I'm using the wrong terms. Given my interests and photos, am I candidate for a minimally invasive, low-sedation, or awake micro-liposuction protocol? I currently weigh 150-155, 5'9", within a healthy BMI, but is it helpful to lose a few pounds before any procedures? What would be my best next step? I've done some research, but really am relying on reviews. I am open to procedures in the US or interntionally.

As part of my gender transition, I have underwent several procedures one of them was fat grafting. The fat grafting i received was done poorly and injected in regions of my face I didn’t even want. It was recommended by the doctor and ultimately performed by the doctor which left me with a very puffy unbalanced appearance. My main questions are; Is microliposuction effective at debulking the overfilled fat? The fat was placed primarily along my nasolabial folds and cheek. It appears to be a very pinch able noticeable pocket, especially when I smile. Would this area react well to treatment? How much CC can be removed from the initial graft? Procedure was done 11 months ago
