Based on the position of your scars, I don't think there is a significant amount of bottoming out. Looking at the left lateral view, the implant looks like it may be slightly below the inframammary fold, which could indicate early bottoming out. Have you noticed a significant change in the position of the implants over the last few months? If you have noticed a difference in the past few months, it might be possible to address this with doing some work on the capsule around the implant...

I’m truly sorry you’re going through this, I can hear how disappointed and frustrated you feel. After putting your trust into a surgeon and going through such a major transformation, it’s completely understandable to expect symmetry and attentive aftercare.
A belly button that appears off-center can happen for a few different reasons. Sometimes, it’s related to how the underlying abdominal tissues heal, especially if there’s swelling, tension, or uneven scar contraction as the incision ...

We don’t “move fat.” Migration often means the fat was placed in the wrong plane or in unstable tissue. The correction plan might include lipo in those areas and proper grafting to stable gluteal layers. It’s fixable — but safely, strategically, and with imaging.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question It is very normal to have excessively oily or dry skin after rhinoplasty surgery. I recommend using a gentle facial wash gel and moisturizer that is suitable for your face.
Best Regards!

I completely understand how stressful this feels, especially when you’ve done everything right and your numbers still won’t move past 11. With beta thalassemia minor, it’s very common for hemoglobin levels to stay slightly lower than average, even with excellent nutrition and supplementation. Your situation is more about your body’s genetics than effort, so please know this isn’t something you’re “failing” to fix.
Since you’ve already seen a hematologist and have clearance, that’s a very pos...

Breast reduction surgery has a high rate of patient satisfaction, mainly because it addresses the cause of a lot of the symptoms patients may be experiencing. In the United States, for insurance-based cases, surgeons will determine how much breast tissue they are going to remove based on your body surface area. By removing the weight of that tissue, we are aiming at alleviating symptoms such as: upper back pain, neck pain, headaches, shoulder grooving from bras, and rashes between or...

There are many potential causes of peri-prosthetic fluid (fluid around the implant). Most are benign and of minimal significance.

BIA-ALCL (Breast Implant Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma) is a rare process associated with textured implants. the association is stronger among Allergan BIOCELL as compared to Mentor SILTEX devices. It typically presents as late onset swelling (often unilateral) with fluid confirmed on imaging.

Due to the potential (highly unlikely) for BIA-ALCL,...

Excellent question. Thank you very much for all of the provided information. The different recommendations that you have received are all reasonable. They would all accomplish slightly different aesthetic results.
Based on the side-view pictures you included, it doesn’t appear that you have a significant amount of rectus diastasis. You can assess for rectus diastasis and abdominal wall laxity by doing abdominal crunch while lying flat; or by standing up straight, putting your arms above y...

From the photos, it appears that the excess on your upper eyelids is caused by extra skin rather than a fat pad. Removing just this skin is a relatively short procedure, taking approximately 40–45 minutes. It can also be performed under local anesthesia, and the sutures are removed after 5 days. The suture removal itself is not painful.This method is quick, reliable, simple, and cost-effective. In some cases, like yours, after removing the excess skin, I also perform a temporal lift. This s...

Because of labiomandibular folding a revision facelift can be considered but no neccesary.Fat grafting over marionet and perioral peel , or endolift tightening lasers or other resurfacinf procedures will fix the problem
