Doctor Q&A

Dual plane and subfacial which will age better over time? Im 32 and no kids but will like to hsve kids in ghe future. Whst placement holds better over years? Im quite thin and active - weight lifting I know the pros and cons but still struggling to decide on placement. I will be getting 285 with fat grafting. Does the fat grafting help with me having not much breast tissue ? And can i potentially get subfacial Placement?

Hi, I’ve had 3 different consults and only 1 surgeon suggested over the muscle, the other two suggested dual plane. I am leaning towards dual since it has been suggested twice and because I don’t think I have enough breast tissue for OTM. However these are my concerns. 1. dual plane - i am wanting to eventually go back to doing shoulder presses and pull ups, but worried of the implant moving 2. Over the muscle - I just don’t think I enough breast tissue to make the implant look natural, worried of rippling Either option I would be doing Motiva approx 285cc. I’m approx 11.5cm width and about a 12a/b. Would love some advice as I’m quite stuck.

I am over 1 year post op now. I have always had a bit of a gap between my breasts and I was fairly happy with my implants for like most of the last year. on birth control I gained a lot of volume in my breasts and they looked great. I recently came off birth control so that volume came away and i also lost a lot of weight so my chest is bonier overall But I noticed the gap between my breasts seems bigger - almost too big, but I’m not sure if it was always that way? I also noticed one breast hangs lower than the other. They really looked great for a while but now I noticed how bad they look and im not sure if it’s weight loss or lateral displacement

Hi, I am considering a reverse tummy tuck due to loose skin above my belly button only. I had a BBL 7 years ago and this problem has only occurred since having this procedure. Would I be a suitable candidate or would I be better getting a full tummy tuck? I’m just concerned over the scarring with reverse as I don’t really want the scar to be visible in bikinis. Thanks

Hi all ! Would you recommend getting a tummy tuck? I’m 23, I’ve never had kids, and I lafter struggling with obesity most of my life. My BMI is now 24.2. I’m not really comfortable with the idea of surgery, but I’m wondering if it might be necessary because of loose skin. Has anyone been in a similar situation or have advice on whether it’s worth it or if there are other options

If I want to get my tubes tied, can it be done during a tummy tuck by an OB- Gyn while the plastic surgeon does the tummy tuck? if it should not be done together, should i do the tube tying first and how long would you recommend waiting in between? Thanks!!

Am i a good candidate for a full tummy tuck? Do I have enough skin to work with?

My face already has a bunch of other problems, but my nose is what bothers me the most. I don’t mind it as much from the side, but from the front it often looks like a shapeless blob. It doesn’t help that my other facial features are quite small as well.

I have a drooping bulbous nose tip and deep alar creases. Can the deep creases be fixed in a rhinoplasty and/or alarplasty? Or would I be able to get piriform fossa filler either before or after the surgery? Finally, I have a dorsal hump that I don’t mind. Would a surgeon be willing to leave a hump alone and just focus on a tip plasty?

Hi There! At my 4mos post op appt. my Dr. told me he would no longer be seeing me. I paid 20K for this surgery. I never felt welcomed,I was amazed at how catty & immature his staff was. That's beside the point. He's a well known Dr.here.Why would be say this? Now I'll be seen on an "as needed basis" if probs arise. I won't be having a 1yr post op appt.for my final results! Is this normal because I find it absurd! VERY unhappy!This was a revolving door situation!

Im 59yrs old, DOS was 12-11-2024, female, black and gained 10 pounds after bbl 2yrs ago. The weight caused my breats and arms to go 2 sizes up and im very uncomfortable. I wont to take a weight lost injectoon, only to loss the 10 i gained.

I'm looking to have a (mini) BBL .... I have minimal fat on my back nor thighs with most of the problem areas being deposits around the lower belly and flanks post 4 babies I'm interested to know if its ever possible just to take fat from these areas for transfer into hip dips for a more round shape? What are the fewest possible scars? .... Two on lower abdomen and belly button? Where are the optimal incisions for the flank area. Looking for a subtle natural result! Thanks

Hello, I am a non-binary person, assigned Male at birth, and I would like to have a BBL for gender affirming purposes to give me a more feminine shape and some extra volume. I have a rather lean build due to the gym, and I understand that will likely make it difficult for me to get a BBL. I understand for some patients, surgeons can recommend weight gain, but it cannot be rapid weight gain. I am doing my research in advance to understand my options, but I can't find any information about how these patients are supposed to gain weight. What is the recommendation? Gain weight through caloric surplus over a number of months? I would really appreciate the insight as I continue to learn about the options. I have ruled out implants for personal reasons, and that leaves me learning about Sculptra and a Lipo360 BBL.

I’ve had a BBL 1 year and a half ago and I developed a deep infragluteal contour depression after my BBL that was not present before surgery. I haven’t seen or heard about this in anyone else but me. So I’m a bit concerned. I would like to know whether this is an adhesion/tethering or a volume deficiency, and what would be the safest way to correct it I developed also cellulite that wasn’t there before. Could someone please give me an advice and tell me if there is any way to correct this?

HI, I know alot of surgeons do a tt same time as bbl, but if you have the time to recover, isn't it logistically safer and better to do them separate to allow for better healing. When sitting on bbl pillow, aren't you putting pressure on lower thighs and cutting off some circulation to buttock?

I wanted a mommy makeover am 48yo, however I'll have to put my dream makeover on hold for both hip and knee replacements, my question is will these joint replacements affect me getting a mommy makeover in the near future?

After having 3 kids via csection, I’m looking to get my body back I am willing to travel but need advice on which procedures I need. Do I need lipo 360 or will a tummy tuck and lipo of the flanks be enough to give me a good hourglass shape and flat abdomen? I know combining both theres a limit of removing much less fat. Also terrified of doing a bbl but want to avoid looking “rectangle” is avoiding one possible?

Hello, I would like to know when can I start driving after a breast reduction, I am 18 day post BR... thanks

I had a reduction in 2009 and will be going for a tummy tuck and breast Augmention later this year. My goal is upper pole fullness and cleavage without going too big. I’m 5’8” and 155 lbs. what cc and profile would you suggest?

I had a breast reduction over a year ago through insurance and about 400 grams was removed from each breast. I terribly miss the size and regret the reduction. If i get 425 cc implants will they be the same size as before? do grams of fat and cc of implants correlate in that way?

I'm 19 years old and interested in cosmetic breast augmentation with silicone implants. Does the surgeon ever perform silicone augmentation for patients under 22, or do they only offer silicone beginning at age 22? I saw something on one website about 22 fda recommened for silicone and 18+ for saline but I'm completely against saline implants and have a specific goal in mind I also don't want to have to wait til 22 I stopped growing years ago ik it only said recommened but this concerns that I won't be able to find someone to do it

I’m 5’1, I weigh 108 I would love implants but I’m not sure if UTM or OTM would suit best , or what kind of implants as well

I had a Smas and vertical forehead lift 2 years ago. It didnt address my main concern, though. I hate my sagging, downturned mouth and midface. How to fix this?

Hello. I'm 48 and 4 years ago had Bellafill. I was clueless then about the filler and am now concerned I won't ever be able to get a facelift in the future. 3 years in my nasolabial folds I had granulomas that were surgically removed. Come to find out, I had 9 injections, yes, in my nasolabial folds, upper lip, chin and jawline. Which i was trusting the injector and should have never had filler in the first place. My fault there. With that amount of Bellafill, is is possible to safely tet a facelift in the future? And if so, would the filler continue to change the outcome of the facelift? trying not to be depressed by the ever changing filler in my skin. Thank you for any helpfull advice. Katie

Hello, I would like to fix my asymmetrical smile through surgery. There appears to be Skin or fat tissue growing over the corner of my mouth and it’s getting worse year-by-year. Also, on the same side there appears to be more fat or tissue around my lower cheek and jaw line. It’s really ruining my smile and I’m wondering what to do about the corner of my mouth?

No matter how lean I get, I have always had a distinct "B-shaped" belly with a noticeable indentation/crease right across the middle (around the belly button area) and what I believe to be some fat pockets. For context, I am currently 5’2” and 50 kg (110 lbs). I have a slim build overall, and my weight is stable, but this specific shape persists. I have a few specific questions: 1. Can liposuction actually smooth out this specific "B-shape” and achieve a flat, smooth contour here? 2. How does this affect long-term fat distribution? If I were to gain weight in the future, would my body still deposit fat back into this distinct B-shape, or would the weight gain be more evenly/smoothly distributed in the treated area 3. What is a realistic expectation for fat removal at my size?

I am 4'11. I know im overweight but i want to get down to 160. Im on a diet. What wilm get rid of my back rolls? What type of liposuction dont want to do a back lift.

I’ve always had a more athletic build since as long as I can remember! I have 3 kids now. They were spaced out every 4-5 years. My last I believe changed my body, to the point my stomach isn’t as tight as it used to be and I also have some saggy skin above my belly button! I was looking into getting liposuction thinking this should solve my issue with my stomach but I’m not sure if I have distasis recti? I’m my same pre pregnancy weight but abdomen still is flabby. Which is unusual for me.

Is there a way to preserve the roundness and openess of round eyes but make them more upturned instead of downturned like the pictures. Without making them narrow and very almond shaped achieving a doe eye look instead of a fox eye

Hi, I have a lazier eye, and I started vision therapy two years ago and significantly improved my vision. I also wear contacts now which helps me to see the same out of both eyes. Two years ago I started vision therapy and patching. My eyes used to be the same level on my face. Now one visibly is lower. I think the lower eye sits back further in my head as well. I've been looking into oculoplastic surgery but I'm not sure what would be helpful in my situation. possibly orbital surgery or blepharoplasty? People visibly notice my eye difference way more than they ever used to. Its hard to just go to work.
