Doctor Q&A

I would really like to have my upper breast look full again, seems like I the top has become very flat to me. Would I be a good candidate for an implant to do this or would I need to do a lift. I really want to avoid avoid the scaring that comes with a lift vs implants. My skin does scar fairly easily.

I am currently 25 years old, I got a breast augmentation back in 2019 in Mexico. I am short and thin. I was completely flat and wanted to be a C cup. The surgeon decided to place Mentor round silicone implants, to address the size difference he used 300cc’s on my right breast and 400 cc’s on my left. I am a C cup however, my implants were in fact too big for my frame. I am now dissatisfied with the way they make me look as they don’t look proportional to my body at all. I am considering a revision to downsize the implants. I have had a consultation with the surgeon that did the augmentation initially and 2 other surgeons. The surgeon that did the augmentation said that it’s really easy for me to downsize and achieve a B cup which is what I am going for this time without a lift. He said that he could do this by using the same incision, closing the internal pocket from the bottom and sides with stitches that dissolve over time and placing new smaller implants about half the size of what I currently have. On the other hand, the other two surgeons I had consultations with suggested an areolar lift along with internal sutures to reduce the pocket size. These two surgeons refuse to use the same incision because they claim they would have to perform an anchor lift. I don’t understand why they want to remove skin if my skin is not saggy at all. I’ve never had children and I am naturally very thin. All 3 surgeons are certified but I don’t know which route to take. Help please.

Hello, I’m planning in having breast implant revision than nose job two months later is it true if i did implant revision now and nose later from nose surgery bacteria can get to implants and causes CC? Thankyou

I have a question regarding a tummy tuck. I am 5’4 and 125 lbs. Have had 2 prior pregnancy and gained 80 lbs with each pregnancy. Both my children were born via c/s. Have had two consultations and one doctor recommended a tummy tuck, muscle repair, and lipo. Second recommended same but more Fdl with a horizontal and vertical incision . Trying to get insight if necessary to have the vertical incision.

My doctor says my tummy tuck surgery will be challenging due to scar tissue from 2 past liposuctions done 20 years ago, that I may not get as smooth or as tight a result. I am 70 years old, no pregnancies, fit, BMI 21. I don't know if I should have muscle tightening. Have not read anything about past lipo presenting problems and would like to understand this better. Am I not a good candidate? Don't PS's deal with this all the time? Pics are w/tummy pulled in & tummy relaxed.

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

Is it possible to just reduce tip without breaking the nose bone? I don’t mind a slight bump towards the top, and I think the tip has always been the biggest issue. I also want to get the surgery done awake if possible and without anesthesia only numbing and wondering if this is possible? TIA

I got a BBL about a year ago.... after the first 6 months I started to notice asymmetry. Long story short surgeon is impossible to reach.

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 ?

I wanna know how small I can go from 38G with breast reduction and lifting, is it gonna be possible to see under my boobs after surgery? And will I need FNG to be C cup? Will I be able to breastfeed? And for armpit fat can I get rid of that fat while breast reduction or liposuction will be needed? Plus I’m 5”3 and 150 pounds. Should I lose weight before surgery?

Im looking to go quite large, as large as I can go honestly. I dont mind some sagging and am not opposed to a lift in the future.

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. Not sure what size/profile to go with. I don’t want to look BIG. I’m a pretty fit person I have a good amount of breast tissue, I’m a small B cup. I do want some upper pole volume and overall breast fullness but I don’t want to look overdone. Any advice would help.

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 a 37 year old woman who had a kid a year and a half ago. Before pregnancy my boobs were round and perky (C cup) and now they look deflated . I’m wondering If I needed a lift or not, As my nipples are not that low. I would prefer to have just implants, to avoid the scars. I went to a surgeon and he told me I needed a lift, with the “anchor” scar and I don’t like that idea too much. What do you think? Thanks

October 2024 I had a lollipop lift with implants. I consulted with 2 physicians one that said i needed the full “anchor” lift and the 2nd said lollipop would be just fine. I went with the 2nd physican for reasons unrelated to the method of the lift. I expressed upper pole fullness is important to me, i want cleavage just not super augmented. I also would like them to be closer together, but I knew anatomy played a huge role so I didnt have huge expectations as far as that went. The first 3-ish weeks post op i was really happy with my results. I had the upper fullness i asked for, i basically never took off my surgical bra for almost 10 weeks. By 6 months post op they had definitely dropped, which I knew would happen. But i wasn’t expecting literally the entire implant being just the bottom half of my breast. When I wear a bra im constantly pulling it up because my nipple will pop out because the lift made my nipples higher, but all of the volume is in the bottom. So I don’t ever get to have cleavage because I have to worry about my nipples showing. Also, my lift scars healed brown? I am Caucasian so it’s very noticeable. The pigment spreads about 1/2 inch on both sides of my vertical incisions from the lollipop lift. i Made sure to use the silicon gels, sunscreen, tape etc to make sure they healed nicely. They are still there. If i had another lift, could it fix all of these issues? Would my scars heal brown again? can i correct the fullness issue?

Hi I am getting a breast lift with implants done I am trying to decide on 475 high profile or 500 moderate plus but I was wondering if there was a chance I could go a little bit bigger than 500 like maybe 550cc I would like to know what would my max be

How bad are my breasts in terms of sagging ? Can I get implants only without a breast lift? My goal is to to have big but natural looking breasts. I pass the 'pencil under the breast test"

I did a liposuction (with local surgery) on my flanks 9 months ago. 1 week after the lipo, I was super happy because my flanks looked flat and all but it's been months where I see that the flanks have almost returned to their original shape although I see an improvement by 50%. My surgeon says it's residual skin. what do you think ?

40 female. I got Radiesse 3/2025 for marionette lines and have since developed this fatty bulge above outer lip. Can it be removed?

I had flank lipo in 2024 and woke with severe pain at the bottom of my right ribcage. A CT scan showed that the hard lump I was feeling was a displaced rib. I've been in so much pain, going on a year and a half. Surgeon prescribed me gabapentin. I can't swim anymore, and working out hurts, too. It's been so hard staying positive. Surgeon (board certified) says it's too bad but he doesn't have answers. Could this be a compresswd nerve, and if so, can it be helped? I'm desperate for relief and to be able to move freely again. Thank you.

I got a lower bleph 1.5 years ago and still have small bags. They've looked like this ever since the swelling went down. I have also had a CO2 fractional laser treatment under my eyes to tighten up the skin but I don't see any difference. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

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'm 23 years old, and my eyes are getting hooded I don't know why! I used to have deepest eyes but few months ago my right eye started to get puffy I tried cold and hot pads but nothing worked, now both eyes are puffy around they eye folds, inner corners and almost the whole non-mobile eyelid, should I see a plastic surgeon, a dermatologist or an Ophthalmologist?!

My eyelids are beginning to feel heavy as I age and although I know I don’t have a huge amount of loose skin I think I could benefit from a conservative upper bleph (and possibly lower bleph too)
