Doctor Q&A

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 don't know what to do. I am 37 and breastfed all 4 of my children for almost 9 years total. I am now 2 years out from that and my breasts are totally deflated. I am in great shape and workout 5+days a week. I feel like my nipple is in an okay place and I don't need a lift but my skin quality is not what it used to be. My boobs have grown and shrunk so many times. I love the idea of a subfascial placement but I also want the most runway from this procedure. Ideally I would like these to age well and I care more about that than how they look for the next 5 years. I am only interested in a smaller implant size, I'm thinking anywhere from 180-275ish. I am 5'10 and weigh about 128 pounds. Also with the subfascial I have very little tissue to hide the implant and it's not like my skin is getting any thicker. I don't love the idea of under the muscle because of how I workout but if there is an advantage to that long term I will do it. Just wondering what everyone thinks, a lot of younger surgeons are all about the sub facial but even with my skin quality? not sure. any suggestions advice would help.

46 years old, never had children or massive weight loss just a little yo yo dieting. I recently had a facelift and was recommended tummy tuck with liposuction and wondered if this will work for me? I’m concerned about fibrosis and swelling. And wondering if i have enough fat for the liposuction . I want to bring in my waist and slim the mid section.

I’m 43 years old and 4’11”. I’m already slim, so part of me worries that undergoing a full tummy tuck with muscle repair may be unnecessary or a waste of money. However, I remain very self-conscious about my lower abdomen and do not feel comfortable wearing a bikini. My surgeon recommended a full tummy tuck with muscle repair and told me that I will also have a short vertical scar on my lower abdomen, in addition to the horizontal tummy-tuck scar. Based on my photos: 1. Does a full tummy tuck with muscle repair appear appropriate for my anatomy? 2. Is muscle repair likely to provide a meaningful benefit for someone who has never been pregnant? 3. Does the short vertical scar appear necessary? 4. Could a mini tummy tuck, skin-only tummy tuck, or another approach improve my lower abdomen without the vertical scar? 5. Would the improvement likely be significant enough to justify the procedure for someone who is already slim? I understand that photos cannot replace an in-person examination. I’m seeking additional professional opinions before making my final decision.

Middle eastern nose, was looking to straighten the bridge , while still keeping a masculine high bridge, fixing the top and have a defined tip while not widening the nose or lengthening the philitrum

I listed the procedure under rhinoplasty because I’ve been looking majorly at that type of surgery first or maybe chin reduction. I don’t deel attractive and want to know what procedure will make me attractive. Im open to all suggestions too. I will say I’m 260 pounds currently and at 6’4 i get by with that large weight due to my height so most peoplr wouldn’t say I’m overweight but do know my resuts could be dramatic if i went down to a normal weight. Thank you!

My nose caves in below the bridge. Was not enough of my bridge removed or is this a saddle nose?

Im 18 years old, and no matter what i do i cant achieve any butt growth nor weight loss i plan on doing a lipo360/a bbl, Im 5,8 and i weight 170, I have minor scoliosis too so i want to make sure the shape matches my body, and i dont want anything too big i want something that looks natural for my body type plus me being tall, im also a brownskin female :)

I have a family history of blood clots, so I had a blood work done to test for a blood clotting disorder before my planned lipo 360/BBL. Everything was normal except pretty elevated Factor 8 & Factor 5. I met with a hematologist, who recommended prophylactic blood thinners either before or after surgery. He is coordinating with my surgeon about the timing. I’m now very worried about developing a DVT or PE. Does elevated Factor 8 mean I’m likely to develop a blood clot from this surgery, or is it simply an additional risk factor that can be managed with appropriate clot-prevention measures? Would this finding make you advise against elective lipo 360/BBL altogether?

Two years later and I ve been experience pain in my hips and certain parts of my Butt. At first is was on one side and I also noticed that a huge dip on my hip/side butt had appeared last year by the time of my 1 year post op appointment. I've expressed that concern to the surgeon who at that time, advised me to get hip dip filler to correct the dip. I never got he filler because Im nervous about it migrating. However fast forward to now and the other side of my hop is also aching. I don't know what is going on. My surgeon also has stated he doesn't know. if anyone has any information about the please advise what is causing it to hurt after two years. I feel it more when I sit or lay on my butt/ sides.

Hello, I am currently 167 pounds and 5’8 and 31. I have never had a butt. I am trying to get rid of my stubborn fat so I want to schedule a Lipo 360 and a BBL. However, I have a wide rib cage and not a lot of hips. Is it possible for me to have an hourglass figure.?

Hi, Please give your honest opinion on when I should safely fly (3.5 hour flight) after mummy make over (abdominoplasty, liposuction and breast reduction). I have booked my surgery (in Istanbul) and current plan is to fly home 7 days later but I am concerned that this is too soon and could risk complications. Thank you, Melina

Wondering if it’s possible to have a partial hysterectomy and abdominoplasty at the same day?

I am struggling to explain what I am wanting during my consultations. I am currently a DD and would prefer to be a C cup. However, I would also like fullness in the upper breast and don’t want to have to rely on a bra for cleavage. So, I want to be approximately a C—but I don’t want the deflated upper-pole appearance I see in many reductions. I want noticeable upper-pole fullness and projection, while still having a natural breast position and contour. I don’t want them sitting excessively high or looking large or obviously implanted. Is this even a possibility? Many consults have told me that a lift with implants defeats the purpose and I 100% understand that too. I am 49 yo, healthy female. Please help!

How effective is this procedure please

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 have teardrop silicone breast implants. Around June 2026, I noticed that my left breast had become significantly firmerand seemed rounder and more projected than it had previously been. I was concerned that I might be developing capsular contracture. What has confused me is that a few weeks later, my right breast seemed to do essentially the same thing, and the change in the right breast felt very sudden, almost overnight. I’ve attached comparison photos from July 26 and September 15. Both sets of photos were taken after I had already noticed the initial change, so the July photos are not true “before” photos, I do have an appointment for breast imaging, I'm just curious what else it could be? As it doesn't seem like it fits the definition of CC.

I am getting a primary breast augmentation with silicone implants in two weeks. I recently had my pre-op appointment. Based on my goals and having tried on various sizers, my surgeon and I selected Sientra high profile 385cc round implants, dual plane.My rationale was that I loved the look of the 355cc sizers, but my surgeon advised that the healed implants would look a bit smaller and less projected. So, with that in mind, we felt it better to go a smidge bigger to account for the compression that placing it under the muscle will add, hence landing at 385cc.My question lies around my breast width diameter. My BWD was measured both physically and digitally at 10.5cm, whereas this implant has a base diameter of 12.5cm. Will this automatically spell doom for me?As we discussed at our consult and pre-op, I am hoping for noticeably fuller breasts with nice softness, more lower pole fullness than upper pole, nice cleavage, and a natural profile/slope.Does all of this sound reasonable? Should I be going with a smaller high profile implant to be closer to my BWD, or is it true that there is some wiggle room with respect to BWD and implant diameter, and that surgical skill plays a big part? I guess my only hesitancy with going forward is that the implants would be under too much tension and feel less soft than I'd like.I am 5'2" and 122 lbs, currently a 32B hoping to gain at least 2 cup sizes. My measurements right now are 33-26-38. I am petite in height but fairly curvy.

My weight of 112 lbs has always been stable. I have thick, oily skin without fine lines/wrinkles. I have always had fat pads in a location which is too low on my face and deep nasolabials. I just tried Restylane to the pyriform fossa, no improvement. My goals are to restore a smooth transition from the cheek to the lower lids, to reduce the heaviness of the cheek tissue, and in general to lift a descended central facial structure, from the lower eyes to the perioral area. Thanks in advance for recommendations.

Hello, I'm having a blepharoplasty in Czechia and planning to stay there for at least a week, or more likely 10 days, before returning home. I am planning to have my sutures removed before flying back. From what I have read, it is recommended to wait before flying on a long-haul flight after surgery, since there is a risk of DVT. I am in normal health and of normal weight. Is 10 days generally OK to fly back after this procedure if the flight is about 8 hours? Is there anything else I need to do to minimize the risks—for example, wear compression socks on the plane?

In January 2026, I had a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty. I adhered to post-op procedures well, and to this day still sleep slightly elevated to reduce inflammation. The results gave improvement, but there are still skin flaps rather than the taut under-eye look I expected. The surgeon has been gracious and said he agrees the results are not what we wanted. He has suggested, as a next step, an Eco2+ laser treatment under the eyes, which he would do for free, to see if that will tighten up the skin under my eyes. Is that a meaningful next step? Is there going to be some other surgical intervention needed? I'm a 46 y/o male.

Wondering if a lower bleph would correct this problem? I have a slight bulge the indent right underneath it and it really bugs me and ages me and makes me look always tired!

Hi! I'm 24 and I've disliked my under eyes pretty much my whole life. They have looked like this since I was a child, and I have already undergone a fat transfer to that area (a surgeons recommendation) but found it did absolutely nothing to achieve what I was looking for. I would like to improve the line that comes down to almost the centre of my face. I am aware that it is difficult the closer you get to the eye area, so I am focussing more on that particular line. I will attach photos of my undereye area without makeup, with makeup, and when I was a child to show what I'm talking about. What would help improve this? Is there a way to improve eye bags that are genetic? Would it be surgical/non-surgical? Is this a hyperpigmentation issue? I use undereye creams and spf Thank you!

I had lost 28 pounds of weight back in 2014-2016 over 2 years but the lower belly fat just wouldn't budge..need an opinion on whether I'll have loose skin after liposuction or not. Please guide me and also if there's any non surgical way to tighten skin without the adverse side effects such as fat/ skin necrosis.
