Doctor Q&A

Hello, I am a 22 year old woman 5’7 130lb with a relatively low BMI. I was previously looking into a motiva preserve augmentation, however have a lot of reservation about the potential risks, complications, and long term implications of implants. I have started researching into Alloclae, as I do not believe I am a candidate for traditional fat grafting. I am looking for a moderate increase in breast size (although I would be happy with a slight increase in size with added fullness). I have no sagging and am looking to correct slight asymmetry between my breasts. As far as shape I would like to round out my breasts a little bit with more focus on lower pole volume to emphasize a natural looking teardrop shape. Would the use of Alloclae be recommended for me and what I am looking for?

I am 34y/o and have been told that I have ptosis and recommended a lift but I would like to avoid this because of scarring concerns and especially because I do not want to lose nipple sensitivity. I was trans and bound them for 7 years which likely contributed to premature sagging. I want to have larger/fuller breasts especially to increase upper pole fullness so I can have cleavage and am wondering if this is possible with just OTM implants. Thank you for your time.

Hello I got a mini tummy tuck done with a shortened version of a reverse tummy tuck. I got a breast aug done before so the surgeon simply cut under the existing scars but did not cut across the breast line. I did not have much skin to loose and I was mostly bothered with the visible skin laxaity above my belly button. After the procedure my tummy and skin looks super flat and when I sit upright it looks good.However when i bend down when touching my knees or do a plank my skin looks loose. I spoke to my surgeon and he said he took a lot if skin and tightened it a little extra during g surgery. I did not get muscle repair done because based on my ultrasound my muscle was fine. Do I need another tummy tuck done to remove more skin? Or can i make it wotk by im my core by ab wirkouts and Pilates.

I want to get a tummy tuck and bbl but my HBC is 10.5 I’m taking irons and eating the right foods. The surgeon said they can perform With a cell saver is it safe ? It’s always been low I have had other surgery’s With it being low like a c section And gastric bypass a year and half ago

I’m concerned about my wide nose, large tip of the nose, asymmetry of the face, and overall side profile. I’m not sure if I should do a rhinoplasty and/or another treatment?

Hello, I am considering a mommy makeover procedure this fall. The options seem like an add-on buffet menu and while I understand all measures to promote better healing can create the most desirable outcomes, I’m looking for advice on which services may be most worth my time and budget spend. I will be going for a breast life, full lower body lift with 360 lipo, including full back. One of the additional options is JPlasma/Renuvion. I wonder if this is necessary if I’m doing a full circumference lift. Second, Artisse. It seems logical to glue incisions but awfully expensive. And lastly, pressurized wound vacs for the incisions on breasts and tummy. I lean towards this most for minimizing scarring. These add-ons can represent about a third of the total price of the procedure so I’m looking for guidance on the benefit vs cost. Thank you for any advice!

I’ve looked at thousands of before and after. Sometimes results are… less than ideal, even from the same surgeon who has photos of cases of amazing transformations. What are the major factors that will affect final reaults? Age/skin elasticity, I suppose. Does it look like I can expect great results even without implants? I really don’t want implants. But I also want a nice round shape. Is it a realistic expectation?

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?

Hello! I'm having implants done in June. I am getting the soft feel silicone in either 500 or 550 cc. I am 5'8 and weigh 155lbs. I have a long torso and broad shoulders. Currently am a 36 a/b. Praying I've chose a size good for me! My main question today is, how do I know what size compression bra to purchase for post surgery? I want to have a couple on hand but have no idea what style or size to get!! Please help?! Thanks!!

I'm 19 years old and interested in cosmetic breast augmentation with silicone implants. Does the surgeon ever perform silicone augmentation for patients under 22, or do they only offer silicone beginning at age 22? I saw something on one website about 22 fda recommened for silicone and 18+ for saline but I'm completely against saline implants and have a specific goal in mind I also don't want to have to wait til 22 I stopped growing years ago ik it only said recommened but this concerns that I won't be able to find someone to do it

Can I sue a doctor in the Dominican Republic I asked him several times to take me to the hospital and he refused I flew back home and I have air pockets in my chest wall and they have to remove the implant I have been on IV antibiotics for six days now And he is ignoring me I paid to spend $6800 to perform a surgery and not only do I not look any different but I have to get my implant removed and go back into surgery spent all my savings trying to look good and now I’m Crying my eyes out

Would having Juvelook volume injected ruin a potential facelift or make it harder to get good results? I have heard this about Sculptra and other collagen stimulators, for example surgeons saying it makes it more difficult and that they can see the effects years after the injections when performing a facelift, so I was curious if anyone had the same experience with Juvelook. I do not think I am the level of a facelift or even a mini facelift yet, but I am 30 and have noticed my nasolabial folds are getting deeper. I would like to do something that adds a bit of volume either there or to the cheeks in the short term, but not if it will impact getting a facelift in a few years' time.

I am planning to get facial fat transfer and potentially BBL. I understanding that blood cloting can impact liposuction. So what are the potential considerations for somone with heterozygous Factor V Leiden?

i have wanted lipo for a while but held off because im worried it may ot be worth it. i am not super thin or anything. but i get extremely bloated very often, almost daily, to the point where i look pregnant. would liposuction be worth it or would i continue to look bloated and fat all the time due to my extreme bloating, which is not related to fat cells?

Hello, I have had issues finding a good answer for what I’m looking for when it comes to my upper eyelid exposure. I have a hollow upper corner of my eyelids right around where the top of my nose bridge meets my brows. This ‘hollowness’ gives my eyes a tad offputting look which is something I’m looking to change, I’m not sure what the procedure is to fix that, if it’s filler, upper bleph, etc. I’m looking forward to learning more, so I’d appreciate any help!

I want to clean my eyes up; irs not extreme ; im 45; and i hwve more heavinesss; fat pads then excess skin. Im worried about my deep set eyes and not lookong hollow.. please provide any considerationS and advice
