Doctor Q&A

Hi doctors, I’m considering rhinoplasty because my nose looks wider and flares when I smile, and the tip also appears bibulbous. My concern is that I want my nose to look more refined and balanced with my face, but I do not want my smile to look unnatural or restricted. Could you please advise what procedures might help in this case? For example, would tip refinement, alar base reduction, or other techniques be required to reduce the flaring and width while maintaining a natural smile? My goal is a slimmer, elevated nose that suits my face but still looks natural when I smile. Thank you

July 2024, I was on a ladder about up to the eave of my house. The ladder fell, I fell, I fell on top of the ladder. I sort of bounced, with my shins hitting a rung of the ladder first, then my nose hit a rung of the ladder. Strangely, I did not have any bleeding, swelling, or breathing issues. I did dislocate my shoulder on this fall, though. Could I have broken my nose without being aware of it? Should I see an ENT about this, even though it's been awhile? I'd like to have rhinoplasty done and need to know this. Thank you.

I’m planing on having a combination procedure that includes rib remodeling, HD lipo, breast augmentation and a bbl. I’ve previously had a surgery before and had a bbl that gave me shape and foundation, but im worried with going to FL if i will have any enhancment to my butt with only 1L? I want more projection in my butt. Will the enhancement of a breast augmentation and having a smaller waist, give me an illusion of a bigger butt to help it look bigger?

Hello, I am 35 years old, healthy , 5’3 , 123 pounds, I don’t smoke or drink and I am physically active. I ‘ve had silicon implants under the muscle 280ml since 2013 and would like to remove them. I also would like to get a breast lift done and a BBL with lipo 360. However some providers say they do not combine mastopexy with BBL and others do. What are the best options for me? Do all together at once , explant with BBL and wait if I need a lift , or separate the breast procedures and the BBL ?

Hi I’m 27 years old 5’5 122 pounds I want to get a breast augmentation. Skin stretch 2. PCSEF 60%. Base width 11.5 at most. I want something noticeable but natural.

I am 25 yrs old and a mother to 3 beautiful children. I have breatsfeed all three of them and currently stopped about 2 to 3 weeks ago with my daughter who turned 1 about 3 weeks ago. I have gained and lost ALOT of WEIGHT 3 times. And i'm talking about 100 of pounds or less 3 times. So as you can imagine how saggy and ugly my breats now look as I 'am skinny again. So I have decided to get a lift and implants. I don't realy know what size i'am now. I say about a big A or a small B. Its to hard to tell cause I have so much loose skin, and where bra's of 34 C and stick big fake gel booby's in my bra to fill them up and make me look bigger. My doc advise me to go with 425cc and says that I will most likely be a full B to a C. But I would like to be a D. Also I have heard that since I'm getting the implants behind the muscle I will loose about 30 to 50cc. So to make a very long story short " I'am SO VERY confused and just so torned on witch way to go. I think 500cc will do me good. I have been walking around with rice in a stocking in my sports bra, 1 with 425cc and the other with 500cc. And I like the 500cc but still not sure what size I will end up with. He is putting cohisive silicone gel implants in me. I'm 5'8 , weigh 150, about a size 3 or 5 in pants, dress size 4 or 6 and have a size 10 foot. So i'am a bigger bone girl and have been all my life. So I want to look like I have breats and it looks natural and to my BODY!!! PLS HELP ANYBODY!! What size should I go? And I'am a smoker, its so hard to stop and my doc wants me too. If I cut back to like 1 to 2 a day will that make a difference? PLEASE HELP! From a mother of 3 who is soooooo confused.. Thank you so much!

Hello, I’m 30 years old and considering VASER liposuction for my love handles and stomach area. I may have mild hypermobility symptoms (possible hEDS), which can affect skin elasticity. I have received mixed opinions from different surgeons. Some say liposuction would be possible, while others have mentioned that my skin is quite stretchy, which might affect the result. I don’t have a large amount of fat and I don’t have clearly visible loose skin. For reference, I am 5'7" (171 cm) and weigh 159 lbs (72 kg). Based on this information, do you think liposuction alone could work, or would a skin-tightening procedure such as BodyTite or J-Plasma be necessary? Or is it possible that a tummy tuck would be required to achieve a good result? Thank you.

Hi, I'm in my 40s and it seems that the surrounding area around the eyes have been damage by the sun overtime. Also, there is an hollow area under the eyes. Let me know what type of procedure would help. Thank you so much.

Hello everyone, I've been struggling with my eyes area, I think I have some ptosis and a very hollow looking eyes. My eyebrows are very low, which is good, but combined with hollowness on both upper and lower eyelids that make me look exhausted What can be done. I am 27 so I don't t want a very heavy procedure.

47, female, hypermobile traits. I'd like a lower bleph (trabsconjunctival) with minimal skin pinch to remove early malar bags How risky is this for someone with skin laxity likely a form of hypermobility

I am 28f and my number insecurity is my under eye darkness. I jabs done three sessions of PRF and didnt see much of a difference. I use volufiline and other products, but I fear I’m wasting $ on less effective solutions. What do you recommend as a long term solution for me? Ive been reading about exosomes, lasers, lower bleph, fat pa transfer, etc.d

I had an upper and lower bleph 10 months ago, my right is smaller, slightly higher and looks retracted ( akin to a glass eye) I sent pictures to my surgeon who states there was asymmetry pre op. I accept that we all have a degree of asymmetry, however one eyelid is certainly smaller ( less skin) than the other, which was not the case pre op! What are my options on repairing this? It's really knocked my confidence.
