Doctor Q&A

I am a 40 year old woman interested in having fuller, slightly larger and perkier breast. I am 5’2” and weight 150lbs. My current cup size is really an A cup but I purchased B cup to support the side tissue. As a teen my PCP told I may have tuberous breast. They have always been strangely shaped, droopy and small. Gaining losing weight has made the situation worse. I am ready to finally correct this problem. My question is, what needs to be done? Implant and lift? Where should the implant be placed? I definitely want to avoid the waterfall/snoopy effect I have seen in my research.

I'm 5'8 145 lbs 12.5 bwd. Looking at ergo demi 340cc Would that put me at full c small d cup / I want to look natural. Currently 34b deflated. one breast sits higher than the other . Surgeon recommended over the muscle to try to correct it.

Hello docs! Im 28 and have some visual concerns about my breasts due to weight loss. I’m not sure which route is the best to go. My complaints: breasts look flat and deflated, nipple sits too low Im trying to avoid the fake boob look, I don’t want them large and balloon shaped. And im also trying to avoid having a large vertical scar on my breast, so a traditional breast lift isnt an option for me. Should i just get a small breast inplant to fill the void of volume? Will that add some volume to the top of my breast and lift my nipple a little bit and make them look less saggy? Or do you think implants are not enough and I’ll need some sort of lifting technique as well. Is there other lifting techniques that dont involve the vertical scar? What about the “internal mesh bra”. I see it advertised often but cant seem to find any reliable info on it. Could i just get the internal bra or should i get a small implant + the internal bra? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

I have had a uniboob for a long time even during puberty and there is no cleavage is there a way to fix it with or without surgery is there anyway way to fix it I had made me feel depressed all the time to see it

I am a Uk size 8 and I have been left with a tethered c section scar that has created a shelf. I also have some stubborn fat in the stomach area that I struggle to lose. I am just wondering if a full tummy tuck is what I need, or if a scar revision combined with a skin tightening / lipo procedure would be sufficient?

Age 46 non smoker lost 84 pounds. Have been advised FDL tummy tuck woule be best. Can anyone confirm this based off my photos many thanks

I had a TT 5 years ago, and this dry x-shaped scaly patch has been presnt for the last 2 years. It’s growm in size. I apply moisturizers, and steriod creams, but nothing makes it go away. Any idea? Please help, thank you!

I'm a fit , 5'6 125 pound, 59 yr old woman hoping to get a tummy tuck & face lift before I retire in a few years, & have working income to pay it off. I have 30 yr old post partum stretch marks with lax abdominal skin that I have wanted to repair forever but have not had the $. This is a big deal for me & something I have thought about forever but could not afford due to family responsibilities. Am I too old for a tummy tuck with expectations of bikini worthy abs? The stretch marks are pretty deep. Also, where are reputable surgeons with great track records that I can realistically afford having this done? I want my confidence back but I don't want to over leverage myself financially & risk my health as well

Hello. I do not want any other work done to my nose besides the slight hanging. I had a consultation and we agreed columella reduction was appropriate for my wants. But I am second guessing myself. From the front my nose looks super long until i poke at mu columella to see what it would look like it wasnt drooping there. I avoid taking pictures from eye level because of droop. Its not the entire tip drooping.

Hello. My question is should I do TT or BBL first. I’ve had a few consultations and I’m getting different answers from each provider. I’m being told that I don’t have much fat to work with so being suggested BBL first (so they can harvest the fat). Then others are telling me to do TT first, wait 6 months and then address the bbl. I’m conflicted because if I’m being told I don’t have a lot of fat, then if I do TT first, how would I have an optimal BBL surgery. Lookimg for some educated opinions as I really want to have optimal results with both surgeries being done separately. Thank you.

Hello, I’m 25 years old. I’m currently 5 feet and 2 inches and 115 pounds. I was wondering if I’m a good fit for a skinny BBL because I have some hip dips and loose skin and fat on my belly and my back I would like to fill the hip dips and then give them more a plump look on my butt. I’m also looking to have a kid in like the next four years would my BBL will be wasted if I am pregnant and going through a childbirth. thank you so much and also I have been working out for one month

Is it safe to choose a surgeon for a mommy makeover who isn’t certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery? She’s certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, the American Board of Facial Cosmetic Surgery, and is a board-certified maxillofacial surgeon. She has 7 years of experience with mommy makeovers and all her reviews are very positive. Her Instagram shows mommy makeovers as her specialty. Should I consider a consultation with her?

I had my first reduction just ovr10 years ago now, my surgeon took me from a G to a C cup. I’m 5ft tall and currently around 135lbs, my weight has gone up and down in the past but I want to say even at the time of the first reduction I was probably around a similar weight, maybe a 5-10 lb difference I don’t remember. Anyway, Ive been at a consistent weight for about a year now, I’ve gone back up to a D cup bra, but my left is at least a whole cup size bigger than my right, and also has a lot of sideboob that I hate. My right breast is a C cup still. Im also having some neck and shoulder pain again, which is how I was able to get my first surgery covered by insurance. Would I Be able to go through insurance again? Can I be reduced to a B cup and get an internal bra? I do not have my previous records sadly as my surgeon’s practice has been closed for some time now, would I need to find out how to obtain those?

I had my surgery April of 2024, I noticed months later on December 2024 I had a rash along my scar line. I have been to 2 dermatologist and was put on triamcinolone and a steroid pill. Neither have worked 100% Now I am referred to a plastic surgeon as mine has closed since my surgery. Could this be surgery related?

Hello, I had reduction surgery on January 28th. I am very happy with my procedure and the care from my surgeon. He is iverall conservative. I have mild hypertrophic scars under my left breast and around left areola. Surgeon see it recently and said it looked very normal and would not intervene now. I am using silicone gel (I am allergic to silicone tapes/sheeting). He said it will lighten be flatten with time. The scar on the left is march. The one on the right today. What you think? Should I do any treatment other than massage and silicone gel now?

Can the implant be placed subfascially using the Motiva Preservé method?

Hello I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do to correct this my left eye which I believe is the right in the picture just looks completely off and then my right eye. It looks like like the inner part of my eyes so much heavier than the outer part and I just think it looks off is it what do you think I could do to fix this?

Hello! I’ve recently turned 30 and have been trying to establish a daily skincare routine since I’m starting to see some changes. I’ve always had a little puffiness under my eyes that after doing research learned they were called malar bags. Over the years they've gotten worse with one side being puffier than the other. After doing my research I’ve learned that it can be a combination of genetics, lack of sleep, inflamation etc that could be the cause . I’m preparing to start an anti-inflammatory diet along with drinking more water and reducing my salt intake to see if it helps. If I dont see any changes between now and the end of the year I’m considering looking into learning more about how a lower bleph could help. Would this be the ideal treatment? I’ve read that filler could make it worse and co2 lasers may not be the best for melenated skin. What would you recommend?

I can’t decide if I need a lower bleph, a fat repositioning, a fat transfer, or just some simple filler, or a combination of those treatments. Bleph: I worry getting a bleph will only make my tear trough look worse since I’m removing volume in that area. I also worry that a bleph will make my eyes look very sunken and hollow. I personally like my eye bags and think they look plump and healthy. Filler: my injector says she would use a cannula and a very thin small amount of filler to smooth the transitional area. But of course, everyone SLAMS filler, especially in the eye area, so this makes me worry about migration or looks unnatural and even more puffy. Fat repositioning: this might be a good option, but I can’t find any before and after photos online that show me how it approved a deep tear trough. Fat transfer: I would consider this as well, but worry about my body absorbing the fat unevenly or just the unpredictability of fat. I don’t wanna pay a lot of money for something that has “we will see” results. I have had consultations with 2 surgeons for this and a nurse injector. All 3 suggest different things, OF COURSE. So it’s so confusing!! The first surgeon I saw was an eyeball surgeon, specializing in eyes and face. She suggested a fat repositioning surgery, but she is 4 states away and wanted 12 thousand dollars, and she didn’t have any before and after pictures of people who had this done that had a similar issue as me, so I didn’t pull the trigger. The second s

I went in for a consult and the Surgeon wants me to come in two weeks before the surgery to apply Botox in my face. Is this normal? He also states on the paperwork that any revisions needed are an extra cost. I’m thinking that once the Botox wears off then you will Then see any potential symmetry problems
