Doctor Q&A

So i have had two kids and attempted to breast feed both, only making it 3 months in on both. Ive obviously lost volume and have some sagging. I REALLY want to avoid having my nipples moved surgically and avoid the vertical scar as well. Is there even a remote possibility I could avoid needing that? Im not looking for massive obvious breasts, all i want is a natural fullness and less droop.

I live in Texas and having a Tummy Tuck and Lipo in Florida next month (Car ride is 20+hrs)... i will be there for a week after surgery... my question is if its better to ride in a car back home or plane? In the car i can keep legs elevated if i sit in the back, and can get off every 1-2 hours to walk for 10min... should i invest in the compression machine for my legs? Or should i extend the days i stay in Florida? Thanks

I have psoriasis in my belly button and wonder if I can just have it removed and a new one created rather than try to attach the old one (which will have associated skin problems)

I had a bbl 8 months ago and this large uneven bump is left on my left butt cheek. Can someone please advise me what this could be and will a bbl revision (liposuctioning that area) help get rid of it?! This is super depressing and I want to know how i can get rid of it.

Im interested in a cartilage rhinoplasty to fix my button nose. I live in the United States and was wondering if it was worth it to go to other countries (Thailand) to get the procedure done. Im also wondering how much I can expect my nose to change with the surgery.

I have been intersted in having a mommy makeover for 6 years now. I am a 48 year old AA female. Soon to be 49 in 1 week. Overall healthy no issues, no medications other than vitiams. I had a gastric sleeve in 2016. My highest weight was 274. My current weight is 183...I have been in a 7 pound window for the last 6 years. I had 3 c-sections 1999,2000 and 2009. Partial hysterectomy in 2011. I have all the usual issues having kids and weight loss. Ideally I would like to have a mommy makeover and tackle everything at once. And recover from 1 surgery instead of multiple ones. I want lipo, tummy tuck and breast lift..with a fat transfer because I lost a considerate amount of destiny in them. Over the years I have been told that 1) cant have all those procedures done at the same time 2) I need to have breast reduction 3) they suggest a lower body lift. The body lift seems like more of major procedure than what I want and I can't get my breast done at the same time. I really want to be 1 and done...I dont wanna rack up debt for multiple surgeries. I am content with my current butt size and shape...I know the body lift will give it a little toot, but thats not my main priority. I would really like to know if it's possible to really have the procedures I want....or do I need multiple surgeries to achive what I want. I appericate you reading to the end and I welcome all feedback. Also I forgot to add that i also am very content with my current breast size 38F. So no reduction.

My breasts are about 34DDD+. It's hard to do any physical activities without them being painful. I have tried losing weight, but they still sag pretty low. What do you recommend I do? I can never go out comfortably without being self-conscious about how large they look in T-shirts. When I don't where bras they hurt even more. My breasts are flatter towards the top and most of the weight is low if that makes sense lol. Should I wait until I'm older and try to fix it naturally or would surgery be the best bet?

I am considering liposuction for the breast area. After liposuction to the abdominal area, I gained a few pounds and it all seems to have gone to my breasts. Does anyone have experience with this? What are the benefits/risks? If this commonly done?

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.

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.

Hello, I recently had my under the muscle silicone implants removed with the capsule left inside. I had them for exactly 1 year. If I were to get another set of implants over the muscle this time, would the capsule need to be removed?

I'm a trans woman planning breast augmentation. I'm 5'9", around 100 kg, with a broad chest and roughly a 40-inch underbust, currently about an A to B cup. My surgeon has shown me three Mentor silicone options on a 3D simulation, all placed over the muscle (subglandular) and all on the same base width: a 470cc moderate classic, a 600cc moderate plus, and a 750cc high profile. He has recommended the 600cc moderate plus. My goal is a natural, gently sloping look rather than a high, round, heavily projected upper pole — but because my frame and chest are large, I'm concerned that going too small won't look proportional or won't show enough on my body. So I feel caught between wanting something natural and wanting enough volume to suit my frame. For a body and chest like mine, is 600cc moderate plus a sensible middle choice to balance those two goals, or would you lean smaller or larger? Since all three share the same base width, how much difference in projection and upper-pole fullness should I expect between the moderate classic, moderate plus, and high profile? And does the over-the-muscle placement change what you'd advise?

Hi, i'm 5'9 and in relatively great health (don't drink or smoke) and weigh around 160. I'm 38 and I have a little bit of fat that I want gone on my sides and stomach. I've lost my confidence and working out isn't enough. A guesstimate is okay too, as i understand there needs to be in person consultation to really determine final cost. I want to save myself and a doctors time in person if i can't afford it yet. Thanks!

Is it safer/possible to get a full facelift under local anesthesia or "twilight sedation" instead of general for severe sleep apnea? General anesthesia is not recommended, looking for other safe options. Thanks. 63year old female

I had eyelid surgery and ptosis correction 11 years ago at the age of 18 with the ID Clinic in Seoul, South Korea. Since the operation, I’ve been struggling with both the way my eyelids look and how they feel. In particular, I’ve noticed: Hollowing Asymmetry Unnatural look Further inflammation I deeply regret having the procedure done (the whole reason I had it done in the first place was because I've had Lyme disease since the age of 12 and it resulted in inflamed and droopy eyelids so I stupidly thought surgery was the only option.) My main goal is to understand whether there are realistic options to restore, as much as possible, a more natural eyelid shape and contour, and to improve my comfort. Could you please let me know: • Whether, from your experience, it is sometimes possible to reverse or improve this kind of surgical outcome • What kinds of revision or reconstructive options might be appropriate in my situation • What sort of results are realistically achievable and what limitations I should be aware of To be clear I’d like my eyelid crease lowered, more tapered medially, with restoration of volume to match my natural pre-surgery eyelids. I want a soft, low Asian/ethnic crease that sits near the lash line. I do not want a high or Western crease. I've attached photos of pre and post surgery

My under eye was repositioned to fill a medial hollow. Under only one eye it appears to be hollow, and then I see some medial fat slightly bulging near my nose. I don’t know what to do. I had a transconjunctival blepharoplasty, with fat repositioning. Do I try and blend it? Fat graft the hollow? I feel I look so much older than I used to look.

I had an upper blepharoplasty last July (it’s been almost a year now) and I’m concerned about how my scars look. It looks like he’s missed the actual crease of my left eye (pics attached) and my eyelid skin has become much more crepey, which they didn’t look like before. Is there a way to treat this? I feel more insecure than I was before.
