Doctor Q&A

It is not unusual for breasts to heal at different rates. You may have heard the phrase that they are sisters, not twins. You may need a little more time for the left to catch up to the right. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

The suture end may continue to work its way to the surface before your next appointment. As long as it doesn't hurt or cause other issues it is fine to wait until your next appointment to get it addressed by your surgeon. If you have concerns contact your surgeon's office for a visit.

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your situation. I understand your concerns, and I’ll do my best to clarify your options.

In cases like yours, where there is very little natural fat and significant muscle atrophy:
(1) Fat transfer (BBL or lipofilling):
- Fat grafting relies on the transferred fat receiving blood supply from the underlying tissue in order to survive.
- In areas where there is minimal muscle and very thin tissue, the survival of transferred fat can be unpredictable, b...

Your nose does not show major structural problems, this makes non mandatory applying a modern structure rhinoplasty procedure, which does not equal to make it contra-indicated but merely optional based on your expectations:
-you wish a tip bulbosity reduction, hump shaving and a tad of tip deprojection? then a classical reduction rhinoplasty via endonasal approach

Combining procedures is common and considered safe if you are in general good health and candidate for the procedures you are wanting. A breast reduction and tummy tuck are often combined with good results. From the photos you would need to consider a full tummy tuck. You could add liposuction for further contouring if desired. The cost of the tummy tuck would be completely separate. You would still have to cover anesthesia for that procedure as well as the hospital costs and surgeon's...

Thanks for your question! It is fixable but it is quite difficult to fix. I would suggest finding someone who specializes in this and has plenty of before and after photos to show you. Good luck!

Choosing an implant size/style is an important decision which is best made in concert with your surgeon. Ultimately, options are based on a number of factors including:
-Chest dimensions: This point is crucial as the width of your breasts defines the available "real estate" on which the foundation of your augmentation is built. This "foot print" is the absolute limit with which you are dealing. Too "large" is not so much the risk as too "wide." You cannot build a 3 acre mansion on a half...

Swelling resolved at different rates for everyone. With good compression, most of the swelling will likely be gone in 2-3 months, but it will continue to improve for even 5-6 months.

It is possible to lower the upper eyelid crease. This can also be done on the side with the ptosis surgery but most eyelid surgeons do not understand the mechanics of this. A physicial examination is needed to determine what resources you have for this type of work. Also such an examination may find a basis for the catching you experience with your blink.

In person consultation would be ideal to determine candidacy of facelift. We need to assure that you have enough laxity to provide a worthwhile result. You should also be considering laser skin resurfacing work to boost collagen. The UltraClear laser also has a "Mircro Coring" component that cores away excess skin; this may be a good option as well.
