Doctor Q&A

After breast procedure is it still possible to compete in bodybuilding competitions and do herby lifting and intense exercise after healing period or would there be any restrictions Is it dangerous for your body in case of rapture?

To all the Aussie surgeons, Has anybody in Australia started using the Motiva Ergonomix2 implants as yet? They are TGA approved since 2025, but I am yet to come across a surgeon who has used them in their surgeries. Thanks

I have lost 90 pounds and kept it off since 1985. I will be 68 years old but look 50 years old. In 2010 I had a panniculectomy but after 15 years it has fallen and I have skin rolls and no waist. I thought that the extended tummy tuck would do the job !

What are some alternative pain meds that can be prescribed for post BBL pain management that are NOT narcotics. I have an allergy to most narcotics as well as an anxiety disorder. The last time I was prescribed a narcotic for pain I had severe panic attacks following.

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've included more pics this time, as requested, and adjusted my question. My left side of my face looks like I'm in my 50s and my right side like I'm in my 40s. When I pull slightly at my temple on the left, it shaves off 10 yrs. I would rather not mess with a side that doesn't need it, since undermining tissues can cause fat loss and I have a lot of volume still, which I don't want to lose. Is it reasonable in my case to do a 1 sided FL?

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 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?

Im looking to go quite large, as large as I can go honestly. I dont mind some sagging and am not opposed to a lift in the future.

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

I am getting lipo and afat transfer to the breasts in 2 weeks. During my pre-op, my doctor said that I wouldn’t be receiving my compression garment until my post op appointment, one week after surgery. He said he doesn’t recommend compression during the first week as I will be sore. He also made remarks that compression doesn’t really do anything. This worries me as I have read otherwise. He is a trusted doctor of over 15 years with successful lipo patients but I am not sure what to think

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?
