Doctor Q&A

Hi. I wanted to ask about breast implant size. I just want my breast to have more volume in the top. After kids they tops deflated. I wanted natural not huge. A Big B, small C would be fine with me. I had a consultation and now am confused. I 100% do not want huge boobs. The doctor said 255cc would be fine to fill them back up to prebaby size. But the asst was pushing 325cc.o I plan to have another consultation because Im confused. What are your thoughts? Im small, 130. Small shoulders and back. I dont need cleavage without a bra. I always liked my more athletic look.

I had a subglanular breast augmentation via an inframammary incision in mid 2023 that left me with numbness in my nipples and the inferior aspect of my breasts. Would changing planes from subglanular to submuscular help restore sensation?

I'm 5' and 220 lbs, I've had 5 children and I've always been able to loose alittle bit of weight then I just gain it back. I want to just get a tummy tuck to finally get rid of the fat. I was a Double 0 before my kids and now 13 years later i'm a size 18.

Seeking help. I feel I have a nice shape but since having my son I do have a little bit of an apron belly. I feel like my butt is still there but at this point, my tuummy sticks out more than my butt. Suggestions? (I want more children within the next few years hopefully.)

Will weight loss and a butt lift/bbl help fix my uneven saggy bum? I hate it so much I just want it to be round and shapely. I dont even mind if it’s fat, but it’s just so uneven. Why is it uneven? Can i fix fhis with exercise???

Hello, I am 20 years old. I have wanted to have a lower hairline my whole life. I am taking a year out of university so before I felt it is a good time to do the hair transplant because I can stay at home and take a break from wigs . Also I am looking to have a bbl later in the year but I have to research more before I decide. I found out that it is recommended to do the brow lift before the hair transplant. Do you agree? I wanted to ask again if it is better to do my blepharoplasty and brow lift before or after my hairline surgery. So now I'm looking to do the brow lift and blepharoplasty in February and the bbl in around May, and the hair transplant in a year . Would that be enough time with the anesthesia and how best should I sleep? As I understand with the bbl it is best to sleep on front and with the brow lift it is best to sleep on your back. Or are these surgeries just incompatible and need more time apart? Thank you so much. I would love to hear your advice.

I’m a 45-year-old woman and I’ve disliked my nose for most of my life. As I’ve gotten older, it’s been bothering me more, but I’m trying to be very thoughtful before making any decisions. I’ve always had a thinner face, and I sometimes wonder whether my dissatisfaction is really about my nose specifically, or whether it’s more related to overall facial aging or volume loss. I’m also aware that I may not always judge my appearance objectively, which is why I’m hesitant to jump straight into surgery. My question is: in someone my age with a thinner face, does rhinoplasty typically make a significant positive difference on its own? Or are there other procedures (or non-surgical options) that are often considered first or alongside rhinoplasty to improve overall facial harmony? I’m not looking for perfection—just a natural, balanced result—and I want to make sure I’m addressing the right issue before investing in surgery. Any professional insight would be appreciated.

I have been interested in a Rhinoplasty for a while. I spoke to a surgeon and he said that with my narrow nose, I risk having a Michael Jackson type result when I'm finished. My goal is to get rid of the dorsal hump. But I don't know if the risk is worth it and no one has been able to give me an idea of what I could expect as a successful result.

I’m looking for professional perspective on a decision I’m weighing. I’ve met my out-of-pocket maximum for the year and am considering septal correction with a conservative tip-plasty at the same time. My breathing issues are mild; this is primarily an opportunity to address both efficiently. I consulted with an ENT/facial plastics surgeon in his mid-70s with extensive experience. He was the first to recommend tip-plasty rather than a full rhinoplasty, and he spent significant time explaining his plan, including tablet imaging to show precise changes. Clinically and interpersonally, the consult was strong. My hesitation is that most available before/after photos appear to be 10+ years old, with limited recent examples. I’m also mindful of year-end surgical volume and fatigue. The quote for the tip-plasty portion was $4,000. From a surgeon’s perspective: how much weight should I place on recent photographic work versus overall experience in this context? Would the lack of recent images be a reasonable cause for hesitation?

I would like to schedule a mommy makeover for beginning of March. Can I set this up in timeframe? Healing time before work?

Hey, so Im sharing a pic because Ive noticed my boobs look a bit uneven and its kinda bugging me. I cant tell if its just my posture or maybe I hunch way more than I realize, or if having heavier breasts over the years just kinda pulled things in diff directions. Im also thinking about getting a reduction and I keep wondering if that would help the assymetry or just make it more noticeable. Just looking for honest thoughts from other women who’ve been thru this and what your experience was.

I am considering getting a breast reduction through my insurance and I was wondering if surgeons usually remove armpit fat as well when doing a breast reduction.

Breast have gotten bigger over the years and I already have an implant is it possible to keep implant in and have breast reduction?

I am looking for a natural-looking but “blessed” breast aug & doctor suggested motiva demi 265cc - my breast width is 13cm and the implant diameter is 11cm - how does it impact the final look? Is it a standard practice to go narrower than the base? I have very slight tubular deformity. I’m 5’6 & 143 Ilb :) Many thanks!

My left eye is downturned compared to my right eye and I’d like to improve symmetry. In photos my left eye is much smaller too, any options?

I’d be really grateful for some advice please. I’ve had eye bags since I was a tden and they’re worsening with age (I’m 39 now). I’ve always wanted a lower bleph. I went to see a facial plastic surgeon who said I could have it done. Then I saw an oculoplastic surgeon who told me lower bleph is riskier than most people think and that I’m even higher risk due to having cheek fillers one time (five years ago). He advised against a bleph, refused to operate (even if I got the filler dissolved) and said if I insisted he would refer me to a oculoplastic surgeon specialising in problem surgery. He suggested a cheek lift (mid-face lift) as an alternative to restore fullness to my cheeks and disguise and bags. please could I have some advice on what would be best? Thank you so much.

I have been thinking about upper eyelid surgery but then I am wondering whether it will be enough to open my eyes? I have very obvious extra skin on my eyelashes and a having a lower set brow does not bother me personally, as long my eyes are not covered by the skin. Can I do well just with the eyelid surgery (which is faster and less costly)?

Doctor recommended ptosis and direct brow lift on one side. Is this the best thing to do? Would upper belpharoplasty be better to address the skin bulge on my left eye?

I'm planning on a BBL and Liposuction. I video called the doctor and he told me I will end up with loose skin after lipo. I just want some other opinions.. I also just recently gained 20 pounds due to a desk job which I will lose. Do you think losing the 20 pounds before lipo and my bbl will help minimize the loose skin after surgery?

I have a lower FL amd neck lift scheduled for Jan 7, and just found out my PS uses a CRNA and not a full on anesthesiologist. I’m kind of uneasy about this and wanted to get some expert opinions. The surgery suite is in her office. Thanks!

Is it time for a facelift or are there other things I can do to improve my look? For my jowls, I have had one treatment of Ellacor Would another treatment of Ellacor benefit? I have also had Sculptra over the last 5 years but would fat transfer help with the lack of fullness on one side of my face? I have been told a Blephoplasty would be of benefit but only for 1 eye. Not sure I feel comfortable with that strategy I don’t feel emotionally and financially ready for a lower facelift yet, but don’t want to have procedures done that will be of little benefit either.

Trying to decide between midface lift or filler to address midface/ cheek area. Had a recent CO2 laser resurfacing since last time I posed this question, which didn't really help and have gone to several paid consultations, which have given me conflicting feedback. Would appreciate some feedback.

I plan to get a neck and fact lift at some point. I know everyone suggests doing it all at once, but for discretion and life it would in some ways make more sense to do it in stages. Is this a terrible idea? I just don't have a life where I can disappear for a month or go out in public and have questions.

I noticed my nasolabial folds are more pronounced and deep, as well my cheeks are not as tight and lifted in my 40s. I am wondering if a face lift will help correct this by making my face look more lifted and younger. My face also seems more rectangular or heavy around my jawline. I am only 43 so i admit, i don have a lot of wrinkles or loose skin but still want a face lift if it will help.
