Doctor Q&A

Thank you for your question.
Based on your photo, rhinoplasty can help improve the nasolabial angle by adjusting the position and rotation of the nasal tip. However, it will not significantly address the flatness of the upper lip, which is typically better treated with lip-focused procedures such as fillers or a lip lift.
A detailed evaluation would help determine the most suitable approach for your goals. I hope this helps

It takes special training to perform any rhinoplasty. So for consultation you should be going to a surgeon with a lot of experience in rhinoplasty over the years that has a lot of photos that you like. Usually a graft of some sort is needed to build up the nose and fixing the tip precisely is definitely easier with an open rhinoplasty. A properly perfomed open rhinoplasty has nothing to do with the nostril shape - that has to do with improper cartilage manipulation under the skin.

Thank you for your question and photo.
I think you have a couple of different options to consider. For the notched nostrils, one option is something called a composite graft which is skin/cartilage taken from the ear and placed within the inside of the nostrils to lower the alar rim. You also have fairly thick nasal skin which looks somewhat sebaceous (oil secreting glands) and could be a candidtae for laser resurfacing which could thin the nasal skin a bit. The last option would be a larger...

Unfortunately there are no photos to help better assess your anatomy and situation. Fat grafting to the buttocks area by an experienced surgeon leading to complications should be very low esp. when it comes to fat embolism. (once the fat transfer is complete the risk for fat emboli is extremely low post op). DVT and pulmonary embolism are slightly more common but still also very low as if all safety protocols are properly taken before, during and after surgery. If you graft only your hips -...

Thank you for your question.
Based on your concerns and photos, asymmetry after a BBL cannot be corrected with exercise alone, as it usually results from uneven fat transfer or fat loss. Revision options may include fat grafting, liposuction of surrounding areas, or structural fat recontouring to restore symmetry and improve overall shape.
A consultation would help determine the most suitable approach based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

In a young, healthy patient, we can combine aesthetic surgeries that do not exceed 8 hours. Breast implant removal, breast lift, and BBL can be combined as long as your health condition permits.

Hello, thank you for your question. Liposuction alone will not be a sufficient option. After 360-degree liposuction of your back and abdomen, a full tummy tuck needs to be performed. A BBL can be added to this. You don’t need to think of the BBL as a high-volume fat transfer. Our goal can be to give you an hourglass shape by filling the hip area. We don’t need to achieve very large volumes. These procedures can be combined and performed in a single session.

Hello, thank you for your question. Yes, another lift can be performed. You still have excess skin and tissue on the sides. This will allow you to go down to a 36C. At the same time, by repositioning your own tissue to the upper pole—that is, by performing auto-augmentation—we can create a fuller, rounder, and smaller appearance.

My concern is the visibility of your scar from an inframammary incision. Due to the tightness of your skin it is likely your new breasts will not hang over your scar to hide it. I would recommend strong consideration of an axillary breast augmentation which is submuscular. That isn't a recommendation of submuscular, but rather an emphasis on scar location.
Good luck!

Hi there!It's your body and if you don't want a lift, you don't have to get one! I've had plenty of women tell me they would rather have a bit of a droop of their natural breast tissue over the implant instead of a scar and I think that's totally reasonable. I would recommend going sub-muscular, since your upper tissue thickness is quite thin. The only thing left would be your choice of Motiva vs smooth implants and your choice for size.Happy to help however I can!Dr. Safa Sharabi

The changes you describe seem to be related to your breast feeding and lactation. To ease your concerns a mammogram would be suggested.

Thank you for your question. The anchor scar in the breast crease can be used as access points to the upper abdomen. I also prefer to use 1cm incision in the belly button, each anterior armpit and 2 in the groin area over the pubic bone. From these entrance points the whole upper, lower abdomen, flanks and hips can be reached for liposuction, the lateral chest wall can be contoured from the armpit incisions. The back can be approached via small incisions in the posterior armpit, top of the...

If you are having a full neck lift surgery, the tightening of the skin is achieved by the lift itself, and additional liposuction under the skin is usually not necessary.If you are undergoing a neck liposuction-only procedure—meaning you do not have excess skin or redundant muscles—liposuction can help remove fat and improve contour. Energy-based devices can also be beneficial for skin tightening in these cases.Regarding adhesions: some tissue firmness under the skin is expected...

Thank you for your question.
Based on your photos, the remaining fullness in your flanks may be due to a combination of residual fat and loose skin. Liposuction combined with J-Plasma can help refine the area and improve skin tightening. If you are looking for more definition, abdominal etching to create a six-pack appearance may also be considered.
A consultation would help determine the most suitable approach based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

A negative lower eyelid tilt is usually due to your natural anatomy and lid support, so non-surgical options are limited. Treatments like filler or Botox may slightly improve the appearance, but they won’t change the actual position of the eyelid.

Surgical procedures that tighten or reposition the outer corner of the eye are what address this more directly. It’s best to see a qualified professional for an in-person evaluation to understand what options make sense for you.

At least from the photos provided and the fact that it worsens with smiling, the issue are what have been called "jelly rolls" under the eyes due to their resemblance to the rounded, protruding resemblance to chocolate coated jelly roll sweets.
If this is indeed so, then use of a few microdroplets of Botox placed along the "belly" of the rolls helps to shrink them and make them less prominent with smiling, thereby decreasing the unsightly line below that disturbs you.
You would be wise to...

Thank you for your question.
Based on your photo, there is noticeable asymmetry following your upper and lower blepharoplasty. In such cases, a revision procedure can help correct the differences, often by adjusting the eyelid position or addressing excess/redundant skin.
A detailed evaluation and additional photos would be needed to determine the most suitable revision approach. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question.
Based on your concerns, you appear to be a suitable candidate for a deep plane face and neck lift, which addresses both skin and underlying tissue for a natural, long-lasting result. Fillers alone would not correct the sagging in your lower face.
Additional photos would help confirm your suitability and determine the best approach for your goals.
I hope this helps.

Based on your photos, you're right in saying things aren't too bad. If your jawline bothers you, a mini facelift could be performed but I wouldn't do anything too major now. Fat transfer at the same time is a great way to improve both your folds and cheeks while maintaining a natural result. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.

Thank you for your question.
Based on your photos and description, you appear to be a suitable candidate for a midface lift. This procedure can help reposition the deeper tissues of the midface, improving the fullness and contour around the area beside the mouth.
However, a full-face photo would be needed for a more definitive assessment. A consultation would help determine the most appropriate approach based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals. I hope this helps.
