Doctor Q&A

m24 years old, 157 cm and 45kg with an A cup size. I have a significant gap between my tuberous shaped breasts my chest is so bony that my sternum sticks out. The rest of my body has a normal amount of fat. Multiple people have commented on how disproportionate they look in comparison to the rest of my body. My surgeon said that he can’t bring my breasts closer together and I don’t have enough fat to graft my chest. I really want implants but I’m afraid that they won’t look good.

The skin on my tummy lost elasticity, it gets very wrinkly when I bend. What is the most effective procedure to tighten the skin?

I have revision rhinoplasty in 2025 and I’m experiencing persistent scarring. I have a raised, firm and red scar at the columella, making my nostrils appear larger and the columella is droopy. I also have visible stitch track scarring on both sides of my nose. After having the second surgery, my nostrils were finally small again but within 5 months, the coleumlla had already started to droop again, leaving my with big nostrils again. I don’t want to have more surgery and my revision surgeon has offered to shave down the columella but I’m aware that the scar will just come back anyway. What can I actually do about this? Why does this always happen to me and is there any non surgical treatment options? Thank you

I think that my nose bridge should be higher for a more aesthetic visage. Is there a way to measure how high a bridge should ideally be?

Hello! I am planning on getting rhino and was wondering if it will be able to fix my overall nose asymmetry and overall profile?

So I have a bellybutton hernia and I was wondering if I could still get a bbl and if they. Could fix the hernia at the same time as the bbl if needed be

I'm currently 23yrs , i am booked for a bbl on July but i am concern.... i started getting random hives 2 months ago, i have been checked by doctor and had blood work done.. doctor didn't give me any proper answer to why i am getting these hives randomly on daily basis. I am now concern if i will be good for surgery or if i should reschedule any advice ?

Good morning, I am about to do my breast reduction in 9 days. I weaned my two years old, but i realize I still have milk when I press hard around my nipples. My PS said it won't bother the procedure, but it stresses me out a little. Also, I breastfed more than 2 years so boobs are already empty and like they were before. So I am not concerned about the shape changing once totally dry but more the presence of milk still during and after procedure.

Hello. I am starting my reduction process. I have two questions. First question is will they reduce my nipples. I know the areola is made to be proportional to the new breast, but my nipples are larger than average at about 20mm. I’d like them to be around the 10mm mark that ive read is average. My second question is if im a good candidate at all. I have quite a few medical things that my insurance would need to approve, but wasnt sure with breast size. Im 5’4”-5’5” and about 150 pounds (give or take). I wear a 34DD-36DD.

27F. I’m 5’8 220ish and I’m consulting for a reduction in July and August with two different surgeons because I finally have an insurance policy that covers medically necessary reductions!! I’m working to lose a little more weight before my consult, but is it possible to reduce my size that much? I know insurance can get tricky with BMI / Schnur so I’m trying to manage my expectations of size / approval.

Hello 12 years ago I had a breast augmentation and lift. 2 yesrs after, I had to have capsuluar contraction surgery to fix the R breast. Come present, I had a revision done in 2024 and replaced the implants due to some drooping. 3 years later, capsular contractions again. My question , I’m planning on having surgery to fix the capsular in the R breast again, but since I have to have surgery again, I want a reduction. I have 350cc’s presently, but was wondering if it’s possible to have a breast reduction surgery and have implants (smaller) to achieve the desired “perky” results ? And am I a good candidate for this procedure? I’m currently a D (possible DD) cup and would like to be a B cup. I’ve always had a lot of breast tissue and never wanted to have Big breasts, just back to my youthful self after 3 kids. So having a lift with implants is what my doctor recommended. I feel that I don’t even notice the implants with the extra breast tissue that I have.

I’m having my breast done, and have always hated my pigeon, long chest. So I’m getting this done to mask it a little. I just want advice. My surgeon has suggest over the muscle 350 teardrop tall height moderate plus. i had been to another surgeon who had said the same about teardrop being best because of my chest wall. However he would only ever do a 300cc and never any bigger due to narrow chest. So my question now it, I dont want big boobs I just want more shape and more upper fullness but worried on having big low set boobs. So my surgeon has said either 330s medium height or 350cc tall what is the diffrence with medium and tall? And what would you suggest with my chest wall? also when I’ve looked at mesurements both them implants are a bigger width that my messurments is that ok? Or avoid? Or do I go with 305cc tall, which i keep thinking because I don’t want massive boobs. I just want them to look the best they can with being low set. Advice please

5ft8 170 pounds. Getting lift and saline implants. My dr recommeded to try 500 to 700 sizers after showing pictures and exam. I wear 38 c now. Nursed 4 babies. 650 and 700 felt perfect for me. It was still hard to tell tho with the sizers as i shoved my own boobs in there too haha. I am afraid of going too small so i figured 700 is the right choice. But so hard to tell. Want them to be nice and full but not so obvious that they are fake. Or make me.look too top heavy in sweaters. Etc.

I’m having a breast augmentation next week with Motiva Ergonomix2 Preservé, and I’m having some last-minute doubts about implant size. I’m 5’6” and 123 lbs, and I’ve been measured to 10 cm. I’m deciding between 180 Mini and 195–225 Demi. I’ve breastfed and had significantly larger breasts during that time, and I still have breast tissue and a nice B cup now. I want a natural-looking result, but I’m worried that the 180 Mini will be too small and that the 225 Demi will look too obviously augmented. What would you recommend?

I’m a fitness enthusiast and overall have a very toned physique (abs and muscles are visible). The only area that I struggle with are my flanks/ hips and back where I feel that I retain fat. Is liposuction a suitable procedure for me? Would it give me a more toned look and smaller waistline? Thank you!

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 a 25 year old Asian woman weighting about 53kg at 153cm and am considering liposuction for my waist/ tummy area. Currently I workout 5-6 times a week and plan to go back to 3-4 times after I go back to Europe (have been working out weight training for about 2-3 years). My goal figure is an hourglass shape, I am currently okay with almost all of my body parts, the only thing im annoyed with is my belly fat. My plan would be to do the procedure in China before returning to Europe with 7-10 days between the procedure and the flight. Is water-assisted lipo enough or do I need the RF type? The clinic I wanted to go to tried to convince me the RF type is safer and needed for a better shape and it also heals quicker, is that true? Other concerns I have are: if the time between flight and surgery is fine and if flying this soon will cause any problems? Is it recommended to have general anesthesia? Will there be hard lumps, swelling or unevenness? Will there be flappy skin afterwards? How big is the chance to get Seroma?

I've asked my injectors to help me correct my parallel smile lines and no matter how much filler I put in they do not disappear. They only are there when I smile. What else could I do? What are the costs of a facelift? I'm only 30 and a facelift at my age seems rare to have to spend a substantial amount of money on a facelift.

I have severe skin laxity due to weight loss and suspected EDS - I have hypermobility and symptoms such as joint pain and cervical instability, but no confirmed genetic test. I am scheduled for a deep plane face / neck lift and endoscopic eyebrow lift in July, but the doctor prefers not to touch the eyes because I had eyelid surgery in 2023 to recover field of vision and prevent dry eye due to lower eyelid laxity. The medical issues were improved, but the eyelid incision is still discolored after 3 years, and the worst of it is that even after eyelid surgery, the eyelids are heavy, flaccid and almost closed. I'm 44 but I look 64. I do not have hopes that the endoscopic brow lift or deep plane face and neck lift will improve the eyes... Is there any hope with a second eyelid surgery, or should I just resignate myself?

My under eyes have always bothered me and now that I’m a balding man, getting ready to shave my head, seeing what I’d look like bald, they really bother me (bald heads can look great on handsome faces). I’m ready to address my concerns but I’m not sure what the actual diagnosis would be and what would be the most appropriate action to take. I’m wondering whether this looks more like lower-eyelid fat pads, fluid retention/festoons/malar edema, tear trough hollowing, or something else. Sometimes the under eyes look hollow (outside of eye) and other times I can pinch extra skin (mostly in morning). When I smile it always makes my eyes look extra puffy. This area always looks worse in the morning when I first wake up but once I shower and use my moisturizer, everything usually bounces back into place. As I get older, I’m noticing that it takes longer to look more presentable. I really dislike the tear trough contrast and puffiness more than anything, although I really don’t like the cheek descent either. The first few pics in red shirt are me in my 30s. The next pics in green shirt are me in my 40s. The last few pics are me at age 53. As you can see I’ve had these concerns for a long time. I don’t want to look completely different, just subtly tighten things up to feel more comfortable with a bald head. Thoughts on what would work best for my concerns?

There is loose skin on upper eyelids, but a puffiness on the inner corners which I would like corrected, what sort of surgeon and procedure do I need?
