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 had my BA done last April. After BF my kids, I was left with zero and I mean zero breast tissue. I went in for my procedure wanting motiva 200 cc, my surgeon had ordered the wrong implants and had mentor instead. He talked me into moving forward with my surgery and used 235 cc. I have been unhappy with my results as I wanted to stay very small, but not only that I feel like my implants are so wide and I have a huge gap in my chest. Ive been super self conscious of shirts I wear as I just feel like I'm very wide! Should I consider a revision?

Dual plane and subfacial which will age better over time? Im 32 and no kids but will like to hsve kids in ghe future. Whst placement holds better over years? Im quite thin and active - weight lifting I know the pros and cons but still struggling to decide on placement. I will be getting 285 with fat grafting. Does the fat grafting help with me having not much breast tissue ? And can i potentially get subfacial Placement?

I’m 25 with thick skin on my nose, I’ve always been unhappy with it and have previously had nose filler twice which I regret now knowing that it can shift/remain for many years and also cause scar tissue to develop. I have a slight deviated septum but my main issue is my nose when I smile, the tip has no support so droops significantly. I don’t ideally want to change it too much as I do feel it fits my face I just want the tip to be slightly elevated and remain in that position when I smile rather than protrude downwards and made slightly less bulbous

I’m considering a very subtle surgical refinement to my nose and would really appreciate opinions from surgeons who have experience with columellar reduction/hanging columella correction. I actually like my nose overall and don't want a traditional rhinoplasty. I’m happy with my bridge, tip projection, nostril shape and the slight fullness/character at the end of my nose. The only thing I would like to change is the small amount of tissue/columella that hangs down between my nostrils. From the side, it makes the bottom of my nose look slightly longer than I would ideally like. I have edited one of my photos to show the very small amount of reduction I am hoping for. I do not want my bridge reduced or narrowed, my tip rotated, my tip made smaller, or my nostrils changed. I want to retain the natural character of my nose and essentially just bring the lowest part of the columella up very slightly. I’m wondering whether this could be treated as an isolated columelloplasty/columellar reduction, rather than a full rhinoplasty I’m also quite nervous about surgery, so if this is suitable for an isolated procedure, I’d be interested in whether it could be performed under local anaesthetic, ideally with sedation, rather than general anaesthesia. Thank you x

I am a 52 year-old woman, and I am scheduled for a mommy makeover in March. When I was interviewing surgeons, I discovered that some use drains and some do not. I'm not looking forward to having drains, and I'm wondering why some surgeons don't use them. What are the advantages/disadvantages of using them, are there greater risks one way or the other, and should I reconsider my surgeon if he uses drains? Thank you in advance for your response!

I want a natural look that is propotional for me. I am 158cm tall and weight 47kg. My base width is 12,75cm. I have minimal breast tissue after 2 kids. My bra size is 32A. I don’t want them too big or too small.

I'm 19 years old and interested in cosmetic breast augmentation with silicone implants. Does the surgeon ever perform silicone augmentation for patients under 22, or do they only offer silicone beginning at age 22? I saw something on one website about 22 fda recommened for silicone and 18+ for saline but I'm completely against saline implants and have a specific goal in mind I also don't want to have to wait til 22 I stopped growing years ago ik it only said recommened but this concerns that I won't be able to find someone to do it

5ft8 170 pounds. Getting lift and saline implants. My dr recommeded to try 500 to 700 sizers after showing pictures and exam. I wear 38 c now. Nursed 4 babies. 650 and 700 felt perfect for me. It was still hard to tell tho with the sizers as i shoved my own boobs in there too haha. I am afraid of going too small so i figured 700 is the right choice. But so hard to tell. Want them to be nice and full but not so obvious that they are fake. Or make me.look too top heavy in sweaters. Etc.

I am the same weight with a healthy BMI of 19-19.5. How can I lift and reduce my lower face. I hate my jowls

How long does it take to start to see your result? Next week I'm getting a neck lift and mini lower facelift. I know I'll be bruised and swollen afterward, and I know it will take months to see my true final result. That said, is there an approximate period of time post-op after which you can BEGIN to visualize your result--when you begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel, results-wise? I want to know when I will start to see where things are headed. Thanks so much!

42 year old female. over the oat 6 months, upper lids have become very loose and creepy. A lot of excess skin. Is the only remedy an upper bleph? Any other solution To tighten?

I’ve noticed my uneven eyelids for quite some time now and it’s bothering me and I’m curious what the fix for it is. To my understanding my options are upper eyelid filler and/or a blephorplasty, would there be anything else to fix the asymmetry?

61 y-o male. Had upper and lower bleph nearly two years ago to correct fairly severe eye bags. Since the surgery, the area under my eyes has progressively hollowed, particularly on the right where there is a slight divot. Before I contact the surgeon, I would like to get a professional assessment of the work done. It seems to me that he overcorrected. Wondering if I'm being realistic about expectations and what remedies might be available. Thanks in advance.

I am in my 40s. I have moderate under-eye bags along the entire orbital rim, extending from the inner corner of the eye to the lateral area. I also have deep tear troughs, and I was told that I may be a good candidate for fat repositioning. My questions to the doctors are: 1. Do you reposition all 3 fat compartments, or only the medial and central fat pads? The doctor that I consulted with said that the lateral fat should never be repositioned because it may increase the risk of complications such as chronic inflammation. Is this true in your experience? If the lateral pad is not repositioned, wouldn’t this create a hallow area? 2. If the procedure is performed by a skilled oculoplastic surgeon, is there a risk that the repositioned fat could eventually migrate or return to its original position? If so, how common is this, and what factors might contribute to recurrence? 3. Any other common risks associated with fat repositioning?
