Doctor Q&A

Hi, I had 355cc motiva implants above the muscle in May 2025, I will attach a photo a few days post surgery. Am I bottoming out or are the implants laterally displaced? One implant sits a lot lower than the other, my nipples are not in line, and when I lie down they lie to the side near my armpit a lot. If I could get professional options please

I had breast augmentation at 17, I'm 35 now. The shape of the breast and scars are almost identical to what they were since I had the operation. I always hated the scars. In fact, a few months after the procedure, they re-did them and since then they stayed as they are. They always show under bras and the area is completely numb, which is a weird sensation. The implants are in good condition, so I don't need a replacement but as I'm getting older I would love to make them smaller. I believe I had 450cc of silicone gummy bear implants. I would love to have maybe half the size if I did replace them. My main concern is, if the pocket is made smaller, the scar would be even further away from the breast fold. I cannot afford putting the implants lower as I think they sit already slightly low so my nipples would be out of position. I am 1.58 CMS tall (5'2') Weigh 45 kgs, 99 pounds What is your opinion: 1: if I kept the same size, is there anything on the shape or position of my breast that needs improving? Can the scar be moved upwards somehow? 2: Can I do anything now on these old scars to improve? 3: What would the outcome be if I wanted to get a smaller implant? What's the lowest I could expect to go with the current scar position? Could it be moved upwards to the new and higher crease fold? 4: I also have some rippling when my chest is parallel to the floor on my outer sides and on the left inner side when leaning to the left. How can that be improved?

I have Pseudoptosis & Wide sternum , I am 75C. I am decided on an implant, while I want to avoid over the muscle as well avoid waterfall deformity or baloon look. I want to acheive a natural look with a slide and a full cleavage, and hopefully reduce the boney space between breasts. What is the best implanet: placement, model / type , and size

Hi, I received my tummy tuck last August. I am happy with the tummy tuck itself however my scar is awful. It was hypertrophic so my PS had given me two rounds of steroid injections within the last few months. Unfortunately I have noticed various burst blood vessels and I now have what appears to be a dent in the right side where the steroid injections were also used. Can anybody advise me on what to do about this?

Hi, I'm 43 male. Began wegovy februrary 28th at 382.7lbs 5ft7 and, 5 months later, sitting at 290.6lbs. I achieved that loss by resistance training (superset), walking and boxing 6 days a week. I still have a long way to go, but I want to prepare myself for the surgeries. I have a very wide frame and muscular and still gaining muscle each week. So I doubt I will ever achieve anything under 200lbs, my goal would be around 200-220lbs, which would put my BMI between 30 and 35. I have a consultation in 3 weeks with a plastic surgeon, but I want to prepare myself. My questions: Is BMI that important if my body frame is out of average? There's a possibiility that my local healthcare system would pay for an abdominoplasty if they deemed it medically necessary, which I feel it is. I would classify my current abdomen pannus as something around grade 2. They require BMI of 30 and 2 years of stable weight to be approved. I would hope that the BMI is somewhat flexible, but the 2 year waiting would put me in a surgery in a minimum of 3 years from now. My question is, since I also want to do a inner thigh lift and brachioplasty, is it possible to do the thigh lift before the abdominoplasty. My thinking is that I could do the thigh lift first in maybe 1 and a half year, then maybe brachioplasty and finally do the abdominoplasty once I get the approval from my healthcare system. I feel that this way would give me some progress to my body contouring and still saving money

I’m 23 years old and currently considering getting a tummy tuck, but I’m feeling very nervous and want to make sure I’m making the right decision. I’ve done a lot of research and I’m interested in traveling abroad for the procedure, possibly to the Dominican Republic. I’m looking for a surgeon with a strong safety record, good communication, and great results. My main concerns are: * Am I too young for a tummy tuck at 23? * What are the most important things I should look for when choosing a surgeon/clinic abroad? * What questions should I ask during a consultation? * What are the biggest risks or things you wish you knew before getting a tummy tuck? * Would you recommend waiting, or is it reasonable to move forward if I’m confident in my decision? I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has had a tummy tuck, especially at a younger age or who traveled internationally for surgery. I’m also nervous about dying or if something goes wrong

I'm 38, have had 5 pregnancies (1 c/s), and have lost about 100 lbs. This has resulted in significant skin sagging everywhere, and loss of volume in my butt. I'm 5'4" and about 120 lbs. I initially was thinking of getting a BBL, followed by a separate tummy tuck - the main reason being concerns about recovery (how to sleep when you can't lay on your tummy OR your butt?). It also seemed logical to me that you would want to have some fat in your abdomen to harvest for the BBL, so I was planning to do the BBL first. But when looking at patients with similar body types after significant weight loss, it seems like lower body lifts are being recommended. I'm fairly certain my butt is too saggy to "re-inflate" from BBL fat transfer alone, and that no matter what, some kind of traditional "lift" will be necessary for my butt, due to all the loose skin. Would I be a candidate for a lower body lift? Can a lower body lift be combined with BBL? The loss of butt volume is my priority concern (TT would be secondary), and it seems like a lift alone would help tighten up the skin, but would not help with butt volume. What procedure(s) might help give me the results I am looking for?

the left side is unedited, the right side is my edited ideal outcome. would this be a possible outcome from a bbl?

I have been intersted in having a mommy makeover for 6 years now. I am a 48 year old AA female. Soon to be 49 in 1 week. Overall healthy no issues, no medications other than vitiams. I had a gastric sleeve in 2016. My highest weight was 274. My current weight is 183...I have been in a 7 pound window for the last 6 years. I had 3 c-sections 1999,2000 and 2009. Partial hysterectomy in 2011. I have all the usual issues having kids and weight loss. Ideally I would like to have a mommy makeover and tackle everything at once. And recover from 1 surgery instead of multiple ones. I want lipo, tummy tuck and breast lift..with a fat transfer because I lost a considerate amount of destiny in them. Over the years I have been told that 1) cant have all those procedures done at the same time 2) I need to have breast reduction 3) they suggest a lower body lift. The body lift seems like more of major procedure than what I want and I can't get my breast done at the same time. I really want to be 1 and done...I dont wanna rack up debt for multiple surgeries. I am content with my current butt size and shape...I know the body lift will give it a little toot, but thats not my main priority. I would really like to know if it's possible to really have the procedures I want....or do I need multiple surgeries to achive what I want. I appericate you reading to the end and I welcome all feedback. Also I forgot to add that i also am very content with my current breast size 38F. So no reduction.

My breasts are about 34DDD+. It's hard to do any physical activities without them being painful. I have tried losing weight, but they still sag pretty low. What do you recommend I do? I can never go out comfortably without being self-conscious about how large they look in T-shirts. When I don't where bras they hurt even more. My breasts are flatter towards the top and most of the weight is low if that makes sense lol. Should I wait until I'm older and try to fix it naturally or would surgery be the best bet?

Do I have enough breast tissue to have an implant that looks natural and jiggles as natural breast ? I am 39, breast fed 1 for 6 months. I am a small-medium 34 c, 171 cm tall. I want to be a large 34 D. How many cc implant would I need to get to get a natural looking breasts ? Will it squish and move like natural breast ?

Hello, I have received mixed opinions. My nipple is just above my crease. . I just want to replace volume and have a natural slope. Im 5’4 and 135lbs. I do NOT want the high round augmented look. Should i ask for a lift to prevent future sagging from implant?

I’m 41 and have had significant sagging and fat loss in my cheeks over the past 2-3 years. The uneven areas on my nasolabial fold area really bother me and make me look tired. Is there a facelift or procedure that would fix this?

I’m 49 and am concerned with my jowels and stringy neck. Also hooded eyes. I have asymmetry. Would I be a good candidate for a mini lift, midi or would I need a full face lift?

31 year old female, newly postpartum and breastfeeding. I asked here before if a temporal brow lift would correct my hooded eyes. Now I’m wondering if just a bleph would be sufficient as I read it can be done under local anesthesia where I am breastfeeding. I have found over the last 4 years my eyes have increasingly become more hooded where I look sad , tired and makeup doesn’t look right. I’m not sure if it’s my brow falling from my brow bone or if excess skin.…. Possibly a mixture of both. my right eye had a uveal melanoma which was treated with brachytherapy over a year ago which is why it looks retracted. That eye also seems to have more excess skin since the treatment. Any recommendations for a treatment plan from surgeons including lasers etc is greatly appreciated. I’m getting married May 2027 and want to look my best.

I have had an accident last year with a firework. Causing severe trauma to my eye so much I lost it. It was removed a month ago now. Apparently, the tissue inside my eye was damaged enough that they were not able to put a socket in there for a prosthetic. Now that my upper eyelid is pretty much gone, I can't even hold a lens in place without it falling out. It is frustrating and putting a toll on my confidence. I didn't realize how much this would mess with me. If you can't help me maybe point me in the right direction. Anything would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Jace
