Doctor Q&A

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some professional opinions on my results. I had breast augmentation just over a year ago (under the muscle), and I’m concerned about the level of sagging and how low my nipples sit, with one side more noticeable than the other. I’ve attached photos—does this look within a normal range for this stage, or could it suggest something like bottoming out or implant positioning issues? Also, what options would typically be considered for correction? Any advice is appreciated, thank you.

I just got Saline breast implants 16 days ago. I am 24 years old, 5'1 in height and weighs 100 lbs. Before, I was about a 34A but could fit into a 32B bra. I had 275CC implants put in. I am really regretting not going bigger. I really think I should have went to get 325CC implants. If I decide to go bigger by 50CC, how much bigger would it be, and how long would I have to wait to have it done? Also, how much would it cost? Can I still use the saline implants I currently have?

Bwd is 11.5, breastfed 2 kids, mid 20s, I know I will need a full anchor lift but I would like to get around 380cc. My issue is I really want to help limit the spacing between my breast. A few drs i consulted with said im narrow ans a HP implant would work best. But I like a more natural tear drop shape and feel a moderate one could help close the gap if it’s within my BWD. For reference I’m 5’3 and around 110lb.

Hey all! I have been researching HEAVILY on plastic surgeons for years now (I am now 30 and have wanted a rhinoplasty since i was 16). And to this day, I have only seen “after” photos thst represent very similar nose types (the standard swoop, upturn nose). While I don’t mind this and think it can look very tasteful on others, I dont particularly like this on myself. I have edited my own “after“ photo to depict what outcome I ideally would want. You can see I have a dorsal hump and slightly downturned nose, but I would really just want a smaller version of that. More refined nostrils, no hump, bu still “me”, if that makes sense. Let me know your thoughts and if this outcome is possible.

I am an older male with thick facial skin. I have large vertical nostrils (photo attached). Would rhinoplasty be feasible to make my nostrils less vertical and reduce overall bulbousness? The nostrils are the most important factor. Thanks.

I am about 6 hours away from my surgeon. I will be driving down for the surgery, and plan on staying local for about 4-5 days, then driving back home to continue recovery as long as I am stable without complications. I will drive back to the office for an 11-day post op follow up, staying one day, then driving back home. Will this be doable after a tummy tuck and breast lift? To clarify, I'm not actually the one driving, my husband will be driving the vehicle both ways. I am a NP, my sister is an ICU RN and will be taking care of me. I am aware of post-op risks, I am concerned about messing up my tummy tuck or breast lift, or even the discomfort, riding in a car for 6 hours.

I’m 39 yo mom of 2. 2 cections with and weight gain of 70lbs. Currently at 145lb 5’7. I really want to enhance my back side with some projection and I do like the pear shape. With loose skin I would ideally need a tummy tuck. I’ve been advised and quoted differently. 1. Full tummy tuck with back and lipo flanks to fill hip dips - subtle change as per doctor. 2. dominican tummy tuck, butterfly lift, 5lb weight gain for bbl. Both price ranges were extremely different. I don’t want a unnatural look but something that suits my frames..… I have shape, wider hips etc..… Any feed back would be great!

Hello. My question is should I do TT or BBL first. I’ve had a few consultations and I’m getting different answers from each provider. I’m being told that I don’t have much fat to work with so being suggested BBL first (so they can harvest the fat). Then others are telling me to do TT first, wait 6 months and then address the bbl. I’m conflicted because if I’m being told I don’t have a lot of fat, then if I do TT first, how would I have an optimal BBL surgery. Lookimg for some educated opinions as I really want to have optimal results with both surgeries being done separately. Thank you.

Hello, I’m 25 years old. I’m currently 5 feet and 2 inches and 115 pounds. I was wondering if I’m a good fit for a skinny BBL because I have some hip dips and loose skin and fat on my belly and my back I would like to fill the hip dips and then give them more a plump look on my butt. I’m also looking to have a kid in like the next four years would my BBL will be wasted if I am pregnant and going through a childbirth. thank you so much and also I have been working out for one month

Hello, I'm interested in a mommy makeover and curious on BMI requirements. I'm 5'5.5" and 250lb. I would love a breast reduction and lift, as well as a tummy tuck. Not sure if I need muscle repair. Is it possible to get any of this covered by insurance with my BMI? I feel it would be so much easier to exercise without my apron in the way or feeling like I'm going to get knocked unconscious by my breasts if I don't wear at least two sports bras.

Is it safe to choose a surgeon for a mommy makeover who isn’t certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery? She’s certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, the American Board of Facial Cosmetic Surgery, and is a board-certified maxillofacial surgeon. She has 7 years of experience with mommy makeovers and all her reviews are very positive. Her Instagram shows mommy makeovers as her specialty. Should I consider a consultation with her?

I had my first reduction just ovr10 years ago now, my surgeon took me from a G to a C cup. I’m 5ft tall and currently around 135lbs, my weight has gone up and down in the past but I want to say even at the time of the first reduction I was probably around a similar weight, maybe a 5-10 lb difference I don’t remember. Anyway, Ive been at a consistent weight for about a year now, I’ve gone back up to a D cup bra, but my left is at least a whole cup size bigger than my right, and also has a lot of sideboob that I hate. My right breast is a C cup still. Im also having some neck and shoulder pain again, which is how I was able to get my first surgery covered by insurance. Would I Be able to go through insurance again? Can I be reduced to a B cup and get an internal bra? I do not have my previous records sadly as my surgeon’s practice has been closed for some time now, would I need to find out how to obtain those?

I had my surgery April of 2024, I noticed months later on December 2024 I had a rash along my scar line. I have been to 2 dermatologist and was put on triamcinolone and a steroid pill. Neither have worked 100% Now I am referred to a plastic surgeon as mine has closed since my surgery. Could this be surgery related?

Hello, I had reduction surgery on January 28th. I am very happy with my procedure and the care from my surgeon. He is iverall conservative. I have mild hypertrophic scars under my left breast and around left areola. Surgeon see it recently and said it looked very normal and would not intervene now. I am using silicone gel (I am allergic to silicone tapes/sheeting). He said it will lighten be flatten with time. The scar on the left is march. The one on the right today. What you think? Should I do any treatment other than massage and silicone gel now?

Hello, I would like to know whether my breasts are tuberous or not. If so, what severity are they? Or are they just small? I think the areola’s seem large in comparison to the size of the breast. I have noticed that the areola sits at the bottom of the breast and that there is little to no “underboob” breast tissue. I have also not the lack of upper pole fullness and no cleavage unless I was to really really push them together. They seem quite wide set and there is some asymmetry as well. They seem to be sideways shaped as well- they appear to “swoop” down from a side crease near my armpit. When I lean sideways the breast tissue seems to go round my side and almost become a backroll. When my nipples are hard, they look more conventional, but when my nipples are soft, the areola looks big and very soft/puffy. Do I have insufficent glandular tissue? What are my options if I embark upon surgery and if I wanted a much larger size, but natural looking? I am a 21F, 5ft 3”, approx. 66kg. Thank you.

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, I’m a mid 30’s male, and I’ve had concern for my under eye area since I was a late teenager. I want the under eye area to stand out much less than it does from the rest of the face. To me, it looks a lot worse/darker in the mirror than in the photos under the same lighting. I had PRP for the eye area about a year ago and it made no difference to me. I had CO2 laser on the eye area 4 months ago and so far it doesn’t seem to have made much difference. Many years ago I tried a filler and I don’t remember exactly how much difference that made but I don’t think it put the issue to rest in my mind. (Maybe I went to a clinic that didn’t know how to use the filler for my unique situation, not sure.) When I see photos of before and afters for lower bleph, I’m amazed, because I’m not used to seeing much difference, even in before and after photos of eye creams that my dermatologist recommends. So I’m wondering if lower bleph or anything else would work for me. Thanks.

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’m 33 years old. The inner corners of my upper eyelids are always swollen and droopy and seem to be getting worse over the last year. The right eye looks worse to me. What would you recommend? Is there anything non-surgical that can be done or is surgery my only option to fix this? I feel very self conscious about it. I do have allergies, but they’re being well controlled. I also have lost about 30 pounds within the last year and was wondering if that could’ve contributed?

Woman 37 y.o. I had these hereditary under eye hollows since childhood with not enough volume. I tried restylane under eyes 5 years ago which improved the area but it gave me Tyndall effect. I still have around 20% of the filler left. I wonder if lower blepharoplasty or fat transfer could help? Or any other procedure? Unfortunately I don’t have PRF or Renuva in my area if that an option.

From my teenage years I had developed deep nosolabial fold. Right now I'm 33 and I also developed marionette lines and malar bags. I'm looking for a solution to lift my skin like on the last photo. I tried filler in nl folds many years ago and it wasn't effective. Now I'm hearing that filler in cheek region may help lift the folds but I'm not sure will it be enough for my problem.

I asked AI to make some subtle adjustments to improve my side profile that could be achieved with beauty treatments. AI told me the 2nd could be achieved with some subtle chin filler. I’m not sure if that is the case? The right looks smaller and more taught, like something that would only be achievable with a face tightening procedure (a mini lower face lift) rather than adding volume to the area? I fear adding volume to this area, I will look heavier from my front profile and have that pointy, witchy chin look that I’ve noticed in many who have gotten chin filler.

I’m in my late 30’s and have lost a large amount of weight. the bottom half of my face seems to have lost its elasticity. When I smile it creates actual skin folds not just wrinkles. And when I lean over you can see my face skin falls. I have previously had a few syringes of filler however it did not help. Looking for opinions on what type of lift would be best for me
