Doctor Q&A

Im 32 and wanting to get breast augmentation. Have had 2 consults and 1 suggested dual plane with the other suggesting sub facia due to me training at the gym. Im quite fit and do lift heavy however am not a body builder or anything. I like the idea of sub facia however im worried that I’m on the thinner side so the breast implants might be visable (he has suggested Demi) hence why im hesitant and leaning towards sub facia - however the animation worries me.. i am happy to never do chest again aslong as i can do lower body (heavy) and moderate shoulder and back is that still possible with dual plane?

Hello, I have very small breasts and a very slim body frame (photos attached), and I would like to know whether breast augmentation can look truly natural on someone with my anatomy. My biggest concern is that the implants could end up looking like two separate objects placed on my chest rather than natural breasts. I am not interested in a large augmentation. I would probably choose implants no larger than 300cc, teardrop-shaped, placed under the muscle, possibly combined with fat grafting to the upper pole for a softer and more natural transition. I also have a chest wall asymmetry above my left breast, where the rib/chest bone protrudes slightly outward. Because of this, I am wondering whether different implant sizes should be considered to improve overall symmetry. The surgeon I consulted with said that he would not recommend different sizes, but I would appreciate additional opinions. My goal is to achieve the most natural result possible—not too large, but not so small that the surgery makes little difference. What worries me most is excessive fullness in the upper pole, as that is usually what makes augmented breasts look obviously artificial to me. Based on my body type and chest anatomy, do you think a natural-looking result is realistically achievable? Would fat grafting help reduce the artificial appearance? And would you consider different implant sizes given the chest wall asymmetry, or is my surgeon's recommendation reasonable? Thank you very much for your advic

Hi everyone, I am 5'7" and 52 kg, though I plan to be around 58 kg by my surgery date. I am looking for soft, natural results with realistic movement, as I am terrified of looking "bolted-on" or feeling too firm. I think the best way to describe it is –I want my boobs just bigger with more cleavage. For my lean build, what CC range will look proportional but noticeable? Should I go over or under the muscle for the best bounce? Lastly, which implant types (like cohesive gel or ergonomic) look and move the most naturally? Also, should consider implants with a fat transfer?

I have some asymmetry I am trying to correct, but I have gotten several opinions from different surgeons. Left breast has more hang/sag to it, but nipple is in a relatively good place. Not facing downward. Most of my breast tissue is in the lower pole under the nipple though, so I have no upper pole and its deflated. Right side is just smaller and a little deflated. I would say left side is 34B and right side is 34A if that. I want to avoid lift scars, but I want nice results too. I like a natural sag. surgeon A- suggested full lift on both with implants (said its easier to get symmetry when you can adjust both breasts) surgeon B- suggested unilateral lift (anchor) with implants. said a full lift on both is absolutely unnecessary and overkill. surgeon C- first suggested full lift with implants (said the same- its easier to get symmetry when youre able to adjust both breasts-until I reconsulted with him, and I explained I wanted to avoid a lift because of the scars, so he changed the plan and said we can do implants under the muscle dual plane for a bit of a lift, without actually doing a lift, and if i decided later I wanted an actual lift, I could still do that, so i wouldnt be burning any bridges. Those were his words. surgeon D- suggested unilateral lift and implants Would implants alone be enough? What kind of lift do i really need to achieve my goals? First photos are mine, last few are my goals

I have a short torso and longer legs. Am I a good candidate for a timmy tuck ans breast augmentation.

Hello 51 had 2 ce section wanna get lipo or tummy tuck

49 years old, ofamily and my chidren have the nose...but i want a subtle tip reduction at same time as lower face and neck lift. I like my nose from the front i just want the tip on profile to be reduced. What technuque can achieve this if it can be done?

When I was 13, I repeatedly pressed down on the left side of my nasal bridge and eventually experienced swelling and what seemed like a nasal injury. Since then, I've had a small dorsal hump on only one side of my nose. I'm now 18, and the hump is much less prominent than it was initially, but it's still present. One unusual thing is that I can temporarily press it flat with firm pressure, but it returns within seconds. My goal is simply to make that side look like the other side; I don't want to change anything else about my nose. If there was a very small natural hump before the injury, would that also need to be removed during surgery? What type of procedure would typically be used for this kind of asymmetrical dorsal hump? Could it be corrected with a closed rhinoplasty? I've attached photos, including some where I'm pulling the skin back to show the contour more clearly.

I have not seen this shape of nose on a surgeons site and wanted to see what to even ask for. I want a straight slim nose overall.

What are your opinions on AlloClae used for Brazilian butt lift

Hello, I am 28 years old wanting to get a BBL. I had an accident this year and broke my tibia plateau, they placed an X-fix in my leg for almost 2 weeks before I had my repair surgery. During that time they found I had a superficial blood clot. I was wondering if that would be an issue for me to have surgery?

Ive had 2 consults for breast reduction. Im currently a 30j, my breasts hang really low and narrow with loss of volume on top. Ive wanted to reduce them forever but both surgoens recommended a full nipple graft because of my sternal notch measurement. Id like to know if I have options besides FNG even if if means I dont go super small. Please help. Thank you

My breasts are about 34DDD+. It's hard to do any physical activities without them being painful. I have tried losing weight, but they still sag pretty low. What do you recommend I do? I can never go out comfortably without being self-conscious about how large they look in T-shirts. When I don't where bras they hurt even more. My breasts are flatter towards the top and most of the weight is low if that makes sense lol. Should I wait until I'm older and try to fix it naturally or would surgery be the best bet?

I am considering liposuction for the breast area. After liposuction to the abdominal area, I gained a few pounds and it all seems to have gone to my breasts. Does anyone have experience with this? What are the benefits/risks? If this commonly done?

Good morning, I am about to do my breast reduction in 9 days. I weaned my two years old, but i realize I still have milk when I press hard around my nipples. My PS said it won't bother the procedure, but it stresses me out a little. Also, I breastfed more than 2 years so boobs are already empty and like they were before. So I am not concerned about the shape changing once totally dry but more the presence of milk still during and after procedure.

Is it possible to lift the breasts using implants only, without scars underneath?I’ve had one pregnancy.33 years old, 70 kg, 177 cm.

One breast width is 12 cm and the other breast width is 13 cm.Will it make a difference when I go for an implant with the width of 12cm or 11.5. I am considering motiva Ergonomix full in 355cc with that has width of 11.5. Will I get the cleavage and the natural results?

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'm a trans woman planning breast augmentation and I'm stuck between sizes. My stats: 5'9", around 100 kg, broad shoulders and a wide chest wall, about a 40" underbust and currently roughly a 40B. I have limited natural breast growth from HRT. My surgeon has shown me three Mentor cohesive silicone options, all placed subglandular (over the muscle) and all on the same base width — so the only real difference is projection: 470cc Moderate Classic (~35 mm projection) 600cc Moderate Plus (~46 mm projection) 750cc High Profile (~59 mm projection) He recommends the 600cc Moderate Plus. What I want is a natural, gently sloping (teardrop) look — soft upper pole, volume lower, mild natural settle. I really want to avoid a round, "puffed-up," over-projected look with visible implant edges. But because my frame and chest are large, I'm genuinely worried that going too small won't look proportional or "won't show." So I feel caught between natural and proportional. My questions for surgeons and anyone with a similar build: On a fixed base width like this, how much difference in upper-pole fullness should I actually expect between 470, 600, and 750? Is 600 Moderate Plus a sensible middle, or would you lean smaller/larger for a broad frame? Does over-the-muscle placement change your size/profile advice, and how do you minimize visible upper-pole edges or rippling given limited tissue coverage? Would a more cohesive gel (e.g., MemoryGel Xtra) help, or would it push me toward the round lo

Could I please get some advice on whether I may be a suitable candidate for liposuction alone, without a full tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)? My main concern is excess fat around my abdomen, particularly the lower stomach area. Based on the photos attached, do you think liposuction alone could achieve a good result, or would a tummy tuck or another procedure likely be required? Thank you.

I am 4'11. I know im overweight but i want to get down to 160. Im on a diet. What wilm get rid of my back rolls? What type of liposuction dont want to do a back lift.

I haven't been able to find any other photos or people that have experienced this - can someone please help? The surgeons at my clinic have assessed and are unsure. Also I have a flat hard wall behind the area that was liposuctioned, im not sure if thats linked with the blue/black type bruising - there is zero pain.

Trans female here and i did a round of FFS for my jaw and a rhino but still feel like I look like a dude. I’ve been told that I might need a facelift but I’m wondering a) if I can get away with a mini facelift bc im only 41 and b) if there is any non-surgical treatment that work well instead of a facelift bc my scars don’t heal well. Thank u

About 15 years ago I had fat injection in my face that was not fully successful. Fat was injected in my lower face in addition to my cheeks which has been causing the shape you see in the picture. It keeps increasing if I gain any more weight. Now, I want to get rid of it but not sure which procedure would be best. I received different opinions regarding facial liposuction or lower face lift. Which one would be better?

I’m a woman and I’m in my 40s. I have mild to moderate under eye bags with significant orbital hollowing. I know that the current trend is to remove the eye pads and then do an under eye fat graft. I will only move forward with a reputable oculoplastic surgeon . However, the more I read about fat grafting, the more concerned I am about the risks. To the experts on here, could you please provide your opinion on the following: - How often does lumpiness occur under the eyes following fat grafting, and how is this corrected? - Considering that only around 70% of the fat will get a blood supply, is it a good idea to over-fill? What if 100% of it takes? - Is there any area of the body (e.g., abdomen, back) that is a better donor for the fat? - Is it true that fat grafting is not permanent and that most of it will be gone in 5-10 years?

Is ny undereye fixable with fillers or should I save my money and start looking into lower blepharoplasty?

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)?

My eyes are sad looking and look like they are sinking . What can I do to make them look more alive and neutral or slightly upturned ? I dont't want it to look fake like the cat eyes I see online , I simply want them to look naturally lifted and open. Why are they this way ? Are my cheeks also flat? Do I need both a ptosis correction and an upper blepharoplasty ? Would cheek filler or cheek lift or an infraorbital implant be necessary ? Canthoplasty or canthopexy ?

I had an upper bleph one year ago and they took off 15 mm of excess upper eyelid skin. It looked good when it was swolen for 8 monthes and then the wrinkling/crepey skin came back. Is this an okay resukt or was i expecting too much from the surgery? Is there anything i can do to help myself?
