Doctor Q&A

If your nipple is below the crease when looking in the mirror a lift would be needed. It appears that way from the pictures posted. If this is the case, implants alone would not be possible. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author. RealSelf Distinguished Hall of Fame Inductee. Philadelphia, Pa., USA

Hello! Either you can do both the surgeries together which we routinely do in India or you can wait for 4 weeks.
Ideal plan would be to execute both surgeries together, the recovery period will be overlapped or shared. If the surgeries are planned differently then it is advisable to wait.

A 25cc difference in volume is so subtle that it's not possible to give a meaningful recommendation without a formal consultation and examination. This fine tuning is best discussed with your surgeon.

A tummy tuck includes removal of the excess skin of the abdomen and, in some patients, a suture repair of the separation of the rectus muscles to create the flattest abdomen possible. The bladder is deep to all these tissues and would not be affected during an abdominoplasty/tummy tuck. Best wishes.

Hello! Great, congratulations for your weight loss journey. Yes, you definitely require a tummy tuck surgery which is lipoabdominoplasty. However, if there is a lot of excess skin in back as well (which we could not see in above photos) you may require a complete lower body lift. Excess skin cannot we addressed by liposuction alone. Skin excision is mandatory.
We routinely do VASER liposuction with tummy tuck or lower body lift at Centre for Cosmetic Surgery, India.

Thank you for your question and photos. Based on these and your previously posted photos, you are very good candidate for VASER Hi Def Liposuction. This technique delivers athletic, feminine shape without an operated look. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Your photos suggest that you would achieve a substantial and potentially dramatic change with a tummy tuck. Seek a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. He or she can provide you with the expected changes from the procedure.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. Maneuvers for your surgery would include dorsal hump reduction, tip refinement, nasal tip deprojection, tip elevation, among other maneuvers. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Hello, looking at the deformity of your nose, i would recommend a revision rhinoplasty. Open roof deformity cannot be treated by rasping. You will require a medial and lateral nasal osteotomy of the the lateral nasal bones to bend the bones inward and fix the deformity. In my practice, we prefer an open approach for the revision rhinoplasty cases. This gives an opportunity to address the framework well, than the close approach.
Thank you,

Hello, thank you for the question, after evaluating your case, you can benefit from a Vaser Liposuction (to assure skiing retraction), BBL and a Mini Tummy Tuck, to correct the muscle diastasi and correct belly bottom

Hello! Going with the bigger size implant will not solve the problem, rather it will not look natural. I would recommend breast lift over the previous implant. Putting a larger implant is not option if the breasts are sagging. Also, you can consider fat grafting for better upper pole fullness.

You have good amount of skin sagging in buttocks. i would recommend auto-augmentation of buttocks with fat grafting for the hip dips rather than pure BBL. You will have good results with this.
Thank...

Hello, thank you for the question, after evaluating your case, first congratulations on your weight loss, generally in my practice, after a reduction and lift, upper pole fullness increase and cleavage, I suggest to have your reduction done with your own tissue.

Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in...

Having the right diameter implants will provide the best aesthetic outcome. Some patients who want larger implants will sacrifice this knowing that shape and contour will not be ideal. This should be discussed further with your surgeon.

Thank you for your question and photos. You look very athletic, and I rather have the person tell me what they don't like and want improved as opposed to me suggesting "fixes" for things you might not even considered. As a Total Definer surgeon, I specialize in advanced body sculpting techniques, but an in person consultation (or first a virtual for patients from outside our geographic area) should be done to better understand your goals. Also, you mentioned that you are postmenopausal. Are...

Thank you for your question.
Based on your description, you may be a suitable candidate for targeted liposuction to reduce the stubborn fat over your rib flare area. In some cases, combining this with skin-tightening technologies like J-Plasma can help improve contour and achieve a smoother appearance.
A consultation would help determine the best approach for your goals.
I hope this helps.

If you were to pick one procedure, it would be the lower eyelid surgery with fat transfer. However, based on your photo, combining the eyelid surgery with a suberiosteal cheeklift would give the best overall result. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.

From the one photo provided, it would appear that several nonsurgical procedures might be considered to rejuvenate the periorbital area. For one, there appears to be some volume deficit in the upper cheeks. Since the upper cheeks provide support for the under-eye area, the use of a robust HA volumizing filler for cheek augmentation would not only create a more heart-shaped, oval feminine face, but would likely secondarily provide the necessary support to the under-eye area to create a...

The American Society for Opthslmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery keeps a directory of fellowship trained surgeons. You will be able to go to that site and find a highly qualified surgeon close to you who will be able to assess you and arrange whatever is necessary.

Thank you for your question.
Based on your photos, you appear to be a suitable candidate for an upper blepharoplasty combined with a brow lift to address eyelid skin and eyebrow position.
A consultation can confirm the best approach for your goals.
I hope this helps.

Thank your for your question and photos. First, let's define the types of wrinkles you have. The wrinkles between your eyebrow, on your forehead and around the outside edges of your eyes are Dynamic wrinkles-these are caused by muscle movements. These are best treated with neuromodulator injections which weaken or temporarily paralyze the muscles so they don't cause the skin to crease when the muscle contracts. The wrinkles on your cheeks and around your mouth are predominantly caused by...

Hi there! You are a great candidate for a deep-plane Facelift with fat grafting based on your photos. This procedure would involve tightening the muscles of the neck that are causing the "neck cords", lifting and trimming away excess skin to refine the jawline (addressing jowls) and repositioning the facial tissues to a more youthful contour. Fat grafting will also suit you well to restore the areas of volume loss such as your temples, mid-cheek, nasolabial folds and pre-jowl sulcus. Hope...

You are correct to question the recommendation for Botox before a facelift procedure, but the WHY should be asked of your surgeon. Where will the Botox be injected? What are the target muscles and desired result? How can the results be evaluated early after surgery if they are superimposed on Botox effect? Will Botox influence assessment of facial nerve activity during the procedure? We often include Botox after Lightscalpel 4020 CO2 laser resurfacing to smooth facial skin and prevent...

Thank you for your question. The answer to this question and those like it is absolutely no surgery at 28. Additionally, you do not have indications that energy devices or thread-lifts would help. A great diet, a comprehensive work out plan, adequate sleep, and minimizing stress would be far more beneficial for you.
