Doctor Q&A

I'm a low BMI, low breast tissue patient who priortizes implant longevity and am interested in Motiva Ergonomix 275cc moderate profile for a natural look and feel. My surgeon is suggesting a modified submuscular placement with 90% muscle coverage. Rather than a traditional dual plane with full inferior muscle release, we would retain some muscles to create a sling or internal bra. I like the concept, but just want to know what other surgeons think. Also, is Ergonomix more difficult to place than round and anatomical implants? this surgeon's clientele doesn't request ergonomix often, but I really like his breast augmentation outcomes otherwise. Would his skill with other implant types transfer to Ergonomix?

I have had a uniboob for a long time even during puberty and there is no cleavage is there a way to fix it with or without surgery is there anyway way to fix it I had made me feel depressed all the time to see it

Hello, I had a consultation where a doctor suggested we use some fat from thighs to fill in my breast to improve sagging / stretched out aerola after breastfeeding . Would you reccomend this too? They said cutting would leave large scars. The other option is breast implant behind the muscle as skin is too thin (I didn't pass the pinch test) . Will breast implant look very obvious / fake considering I am thin? It was suggested that an implant that would lead to a C cup would be the smallest that can be used. Thank you for your advice. Ps. I am 173 cm and 53-54kg I wear a 34A bra but not sure if that's correct. under bust 75 cm and bust is about 79cm

I had my breast lift (donut) and augmentation last year with a 255 cc high profile implant. This is how I look. Is this a snoopy deformity?

During a consultation I have been told by a surgeon that I qualify for a full Tummy Tuck with a shorter scar. So more extensive than a mini Tummy Tuck where my belly button would be redone because loose skin be pulled from the top down but with a smaller incision than a usual TT. My fear is this may not remove all the loose skin I want and leave me with uneven bulges if the hip area loose skin is not taken along with fat removal if required? Im 49kg and 5ft 1 are my fears correct?

My PS used surgical glue to close my incision and has instructed me to let it come off naturally. Today marks three weeks post op for me and it hasn't budged. Obviously I plan on following the doctors orders but it would be nice to finally get to see my incision!

Hello. Ive had a tummy tuck procedure about 3 yrs ago. I started developing pain, pulling and tightbess aroud my navel. I notice it gets worse around my period, which at times it can be unbearable. I was wondering could it hsve been from tubes? Did it leave internal scarring? I just need to be poinred in the right direction so i can live a normal life. This is taking a toll on my mental

I’m 5’3 150 pounds 33 yrs old. ive had pregnancy and weight loss and lipo before. I do not need a roll-less back. I’m not looking to be americas next top model or an instagram model. If a tummy tuck with lipo or extended tummy tuck can improve these back rolls i would be okay with that. Other options im told is a back lift, which i dont want to do BUT if this is the only way to improve the appearance i may have no choice. Also, i asked chat gpt and uploaded my photo it also sugge Circumfriential tummy tuck. So now im left to see what you guys suggest. Im tired of sending my photos oneby one to every clinic.

I’m incredibly insecure about my face and I’m not striving for perfection, but I do want to look more balanced and attractive. My main concerns are: wide‑set eyes, a wide nose (especially compared to my lips), facial asymmetry, and under‑eye bags. I’m wondering if alarplasty and/or rhinoplasty could improve my overall facial harmony, and whether narrowing my nose might make my eyes look even wider. From your perspective, what are the main features that detract from my facial attractiveness right now, and what realistic surgical or non‑surgical options would you recommend (especially for my nose, eyes, and under‑eye area)? I’d really appreciate honest but empathetic guidance.

My PS had told me after my rhinoplasty last year that I couldn't work out at all for 8 weeks after my rhinoplasty, and then at 8 weeks I could do light cardio for 15 minutes. I followed their instructions, but this seemed way excessive to me. I lost a lot of strength and mental health benefits in that long of a time. Elsewhere, I haven't seen THAT extreme of restrictions. I had the procedure done in Mexico (excellent results, by the way). Is this strict of an exercise prohibition medically supported? I ask because I was thrilled with my experience and results and am debating whether to return to them for additional procedures in the future.

Are there any doctors who specialize in doing a rhinoplasty, lip lift and lower lid blepharoplasty/fat repositioning for under eye hollows all in one? These are all on my wishlist but to save on anesthesia costs and life interruptions, I'd prefer to get them all done at once. Of course, I don't want to skimp on safety or quality though, so I would only go through ugh a 3-in-1 with someone who frequently does the combination bf has reliable results. Thank you!

What would I need to have done to get me from this, to this? Nasal bridge reduction and nostril reduction? I don't have a problem with my side profile, I just want a smaller version if my nose.

Two years ago I had liposuction to my buttocks, but would like to transfer some fat back in to fill in areas that are overly ”empty”, but am not sure if the fat would take.

Im a 42 year old womanwho is 5 10 185lbs-BF28%. I wrkout 5 to 6 days a week but dont have a significant hip and waist definition. I would like to get lipo360 and a bbl to add a shelf and hips to my frame. Is that possible with my current body shape?

I had traditional liposuction of the inner/outer thighs, lower butt and knees in 2005 and pleased with my results. In 2008 after childbirth, I had SmartLipo done in the same areas and it created significant skin sagging and dimpling that doesn't improve with exercise. I like the overall shape on my butt but can’t wear bathing suit bottoms or shorts because of the severe dimpling and sagging that is visible. I don’t know if BBL is the right procedure or what is?

I have a procedure coming up in a few days for 360 Lipo, extended tummy tuck & BBL. I have an inverted triangle shape so it will be nice to have some hips however I am so scared of the BBL. Is fat transfer to just hips safer than full transfer to hips & buttocks? Will my results look odd if I ask for just fat transfer to hips as I have a relatively flat bum? How about long term implications of fat transfer as we age? My priority is safety, TIA

I am 35 years old, 5ft3 and 160lbs. I broke my neck 8 years ago in a car accident and had a cervical fusion. I had a breast reduction 3 years ago and it took me from a g36 to a d36. I still feel like they are too big and causing me more pain than i need. Would i be a good candidate for another?

I wanna know how small I can go from 38G with breast reduction and lifting, is it gonna be possible to see under my boobs after surgery? And will I need FNG to be C cup? Will I be able to breastfeed? And for armpit fat can I get rid of that fat while breast reduction or liposuction will be needed? Plus I’m 5”3 and 150 pounds. Should I lose weight before surgery?

Black female. My surgeon stated a free nipple graft is required if I want to go down to a D cup, from my current G cup.

After my breasts dropped I noticed wrinkling and sagging where my cleavage should be flat and smooth. I’m guessing the weight of my breasts is causing it and I’m really worried there’s nothing to be done. I went from 38 J to 34 DD though I had hoped to go smaller. This looks really bad in bikinis and low cut tops. please tell me it’s fixable!

I have one breast implant that has started flipping. What would be my options in dealing with this?

Hello. I’m currently an AA cup and hoping to achieve a full B or small C cup. I’m 5’4”, weigh 94 lbs, and have a very petite frame. My question is regarding implant sizing. I was advised to consider 200 cc, but I’m concerned that this may be too small to achieve the result I’m hoping for. At the same time, I don’t want anything that would look overly large or disproportionate on my body. I’d love some guidance on what cc range might realistically help me reach my goal.

I had a breast reduction over a year ago through insurance and about 400 grams was removed from each breast. I terribly miss the size and regret the reduction. If i get 425 cc implants will they be the same size as before? do grams of fat and cc of implants correlate in that way?

I am 46 years old my kids are almost grown and i want to look better. Am i to old for new brest inplants, my husband past away 4 years ago and i want to feel better about my body

I have thought about some kind of procedure to fix what 4 pregnancies have done to my breast, but am unsure of where to start. I have 4 children and I breast fed them all. My last baby is now 3 and I’m one year post breast feeding officially. I do not plan on having any more children And I would like to begin exploring my options, but before I make a consultation, I was curious if there was a way to enhance the look of my breasts without scars. Ive never had surgery before and I do not know how my skin will react to stitches. I’m a small lady, 35y , Is it possible to avoid scars, assuming my only option is a regular breast lift. The anchor scars I would not be happy with. Also, I now have one breast a full cup larger than the other.

Hello! Looking through lots of Surgeons galleries for mommy makeover. I’ve narrowed it down to a couple surgeons. The first is very reputable and has huge galleries. Lots of amazing results. However, he has enough boxy breast lift w/ implants to make me nervous. It is important to me that everything is round in the front view picture-without angles or squareness. The second surgeon is also reputable but smaller gallery. All his breast pictures are very round! No boxy ones. He has about 50 pics in the gallery (half as mthe other doc). So more consistent results. If I was only doing breasts I’d likely go to him! But the first is a tummy tuck pro! And has gained my trust in that realm. I’d love to go to him ultimately but have a hard time with his semi-frequent boxy look. Can he avoid this look if I tell him it’s important to me? Is there a certain best type that is more at risk for boxy appearance.

Hello, I’m a 37 year old woman who had a kid a year and a half ago. Before pregnancy my boobs were round and perky (C cup) and now they look deflated . I’m wondering If I needed a lift or not, As my nipples are not that low. I would prefer to have just implants, to avoid the scars. I went to a surgeon and he told me I needed a lift, with the “anchor” scar and I don’t like that idea too much. What do you think? Thanks

I'm looking to go quite large, as large as I can go honestly. I don't mind some sagging or drooping but wondering if I could get away with just a crescent lift with implants?

I am feeling very self-conscious about the skin under my chin after lipo+laser and another round of just laser treatment to correct. Any advice for someone on a budget trying to fix it?

Hi doctors, I had a breast augmentation last year and have since developed mild capsular contracture on one side. In addition, I was not fully satisfied with the overall look, as I would prefer a slightly fuller and softer result. My surgeon has recommended fat grafting to improve both the contour and fullness. The plan is to harvest approximately 300cc of fat in total (around 150cc from each inner thigh), with a small amount potentially taken from the outer thighs if needed. My main concern is that I truly love the current shape of my thighs and legs. I work out regularly, maintain a very healthy lifestyle, and have good skin quality, so I would not want to compromise their appearance in any way. I would really appreciate your input on the following: • With this volume (150cc per inner thigh), what is the risk of developing dents, waviness, or contour irregularities in the inner thigh area? • How predictable are results when performing liposuction in the inner thighs, given that it is considered a delicate area? • Can this amount of fat removal noticeably change the overall shape or contour of the thighs? • Is it common to not require compression garments after this type of liposuction, or could that increase the risk of uneven healing or swelling? • In your experience, is fat grafting an effective approach both for mild capsular contracture and for achieving a fuller, more natural-looking result? For reference, I am 29 years old. Thank you in advance — I want

Am I a candidate for skin pinch under my eyes?

Female 28

I have spent months trying to understand what is wrong with the result. I understand that the (left) eyelid skin has been stretched too much and attached wrong. The outer eyelid corner goes up sharper and higher than the right eyelid. I suspect a fox-eye surgery was performed, which I did not ask for. I also did not ask that only one eyelid would be done differently. Somehow, the whole left eyelid/eyeslit area seems smaller/tighter on the left side. How do I restore symmetry? It seems fixable, as pushing the skin inwards seems to solve most problems. Is there a suture under the skin giving the outer left eyelid corner a weird/tight look? I have contacted the surgeon for a year, he will not answer any communication.

I have been thinking about upper eyelid surgery but then I am wondering whether it will be enough to open my eyes? I have very obvious extra skin on my eyelashes and a having a lower set brow does not bother me personally, as long my eyes are not covered by the skin. Can I do well just with the eyelid surgery (which is faster and less costly)?

I had an upper bleph and the lateral corners are turned down. What will it take to return them to the more natural position.
