I need to know where I'll get the best bang for my buck in feminizing my body. I had a TT/breast reduction in 2020 with contouring, and lipo/bodytite in April which was not very successful. I feel very wide and top heavy and am looking for suggestions outside of a bbl which would add to my already medium sized figure (sz 8). Thoughts?
Answer: Balancing an Inverted Triangle Body Shape: Recommendations Thank you for reaching out and sharing details about your concerns related to your inverted triangle body shape, as well as the provided photos. I would recommend focusing on three primary areas to achieve a more balanced silhouette: arms, abdomen, and breasts. Arms: An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty or arm reduction, would be beneficial for you. This procedure: Is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes about three to four hours. Involves arm liposuction and an incision extending from the armpit to the elbow. You can expect a recovery period of approximately two weeks. Abdomen: To enhance the waistline, I would recommend a procedure aimed at achieving an "hourglass" figure. Options include: Vertical Torsoplasty: Involves an incision from the lower bra line to the top of the hip, removing an elliptical portion of skin and fat. Midline Vertical Tummy Tuck: Entails a central incision, from between the breasts down to the pubic region, removing a large elliptical area of the abdomen. Other potential treatments include aggressive love-handle liposuction and even rib removal for extreme waist narrowing. Breasts: To redirect the focus from the broader upper body, considering modest breast implants can be beneficial. This would emphasize especially the medial or inner cleavage of the breasts, adding volume and balance to your overall silhouette. These suggested interventions aim to modify and balance your inverted triangle body shape to a more harmonized appearance. Always consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and desired outcomes in depth. Best wishes on your body contouring journey. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

Answer: Full arms lift and arms liposuction candidate Thank you for your question. Based on the pictures you appear to be a good candidate for full arms lift (the scar hidden bicipital folds) and arms liposuction. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results. Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
