Doctor Q&A

I am a Male who wants a more feminine chest. I have a wide chest and my only concern is nipple placement. What would be the best type implant to keep the nipples pointing east and west so to speak. Or is there a different type of procedure when the implants are being place to prevent this?

I am a 47 years old female, 5’6” 145lbs, no known major disease/diabetes diagnosis. Had liposuction done on my abdomen areas 3 times throughout my life, but I could never achieve a smaller waistline that I always wanted. I had lipo done on my upper arm and it maintained over 6 years, so is there any solutions out there? Oh because of my schooling I won’t be able to perform the procedure until 2026, but it’s part of my plan

I think that my nose bridge should be higher for a more aesthetic visage. Is there a way to measure how high a bridge should ideally be?

Hello! I am planning on getting rhino and was wondering if it will be able to fix my overall nose asymmetry and overall profile?

im pretty sure i will need open rhinoplasty to correct deviated septum, crooked , bulbous tip, dorsal bump ans nasal projection my nostrils are currently very long and overly visable is there any was to achiive smaller more proportional nostrils without external stitches on the outside of my nostrils 2 consults thus far did not believe it would be possible to achieve without external stitches to sides of nostrils

I'm going to have 360 lipo and bbl to fill in hip dips. J Plasma is offered but is this necessary in my case to get a good result? With this i mean no backfolds and flat abdomen. I also want to have children in the future. J Plasma makes the skin more tightened during pregnancy the skin will expand, i was wondering if it will leave more stretch marks after pregnancy. Also if i would need a tummy tuck in the future after pregnancy, is this more risky if you had J Plasma because of more scarr

Its been 11 years since my one and only bbl, shortly after on my right but cheek a fist sized seroma started. I was only around 21 at the time and if i can do it all again I would’ve chose a board certified plastic surgeon, when I did my research after the surgeon I went to was board certified in dermatology. Long story short my surgeon was located in Miami, i flew out stoof for 3 days he drained with a syringe. The fluid kept building back up over and over until month 3 he made me wear a drain for a week, i went back and he cleared me. I never checked it out again or had pain or issues just a feeling of emptiness in that space and a little sag that is still there on the bottom cheek. 2 days ago for the first time i squeezed the area because it’s hard to really feel anything there and I might have provoked something? Its day 2 and now having a dull ache in the area sort of burning pain, can you tell me what this may be and my next steps ? How can i correct this in the future and if i were to get a revision i would do my research fully this time to make sure the surgeon is board certified. I never wanted to do another surgery because i was scared the same problem would probably get worst. Please any advice ? I’m very scared right now

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.

27F. I’m 5’8 220ish and I’m consulting for a reduction in July and August with two different surgeons because I finally have an insurance policy that covers medically necessary reductions!! I’m working to lose a little more weight before my consult, but is it possible to reduce my size that much? I know insurance can get tricky with BMI / Schnur so I’m trying to manage my expectations of size / approval.

Hello 12 years ago I had a breast augmentation and lift. 2 yesrs after, I had to have capsuluar contraction surgery to fix the R breast. Come present, I had a revision done in 2024 and replaced the implants due to some drooping. 3 years later, capsular contractions again. My question , I’m planning on having surgery to fix the capsular in the R breast again, but since I have to have surgery again, I want a reduction. I have 350cc’s presently, but was wondering if it’s possible to have a breast reduction surgery and have implants (smaller) to achieve the desired “perky” results ? And am I a good candidate for this procedure? I’m currently a D (possible DD) cup and would like to be a B cup. I’ve always had a lot of breast tissue and never wanted to have Big breasts, just back to my youthful self after 3 kids. So having a lift with implants is what my doctor recommended. I feel that I don’t even notice the implants with the extra breast tissue that I have.

Hello, as I've aged, the sagging on one side of my face has become more pronounced, creating a deep line around my nostril as I smile. I would like to address this and soften it in the near future. I read about threads to "lift" the cheek but I'm hesitant due to the negative reviews. Can you please advise your recommendation on how to go about achieving symmetry and lifting in my mid-face

I had a reduction in 2009 and will be going for a tummy tuck and breast Augmention later this year. My goal is upper pole fullness and cleavage without going too big. I’m 5’8” and 155 lbs. what cc and profile would you suggest?

I’m having a breast augmentation next week with Motiva Ergonomix2 Preservé, and I’m having some last-minute doubts about implant size. I’m 5’6” and 123 lbs, and I’ve been measured to 10 cm. I’m deciding between 180 Mini and 195–225 Demi. I’ve breastfed and had significantly larger breasts during that time, and I still have breast tissue and a nice B cup now. I want a natural-looking result, but I’m worried that the 180 Mini will be too small and that the 225 Demi will look too obviously augmented. What would you recommend?

Im looking to go quite large, as large as I can go honestly. I dont mind some sagging and am not opposed to a lift in the future.

I’m having my breast done, and have always hated my pigeon, long chest. So I’m getting this done to mask it a little. I just want advice. My surgeon has suggest over the muscle 350 teardrop tall height moderate plus. i had been to another surgeon who had said the same about teardrop being best because of my chest wall. However he would only ever do a 300cc and never any bigger due to narrow chest. So my question now it, I dont want big boobs I just want more shape and more upper fullness but worried on having big low set boobs. So my surgeon has said either 330s medium height or 350cc tall what is the diffrence with medium and tall? And what would you suggest with my chest wall? also when I’ve looked at mesurements both them implants are a bigger width that my messurments is that ok? Or avoid? Or do I go with 305cc tall, which i keep thinking because I don’t want massive boobs. I just want them to look the best they can with being low set. Advice please

I some fat pockets that formed (more on right side then left) near my mouth on my lower cheeks. Dr recommended lipo for the area and doesn't think it's buffalo fat. I am not sure if lipo would be the way to go. I had a lower face and neck lift in September 2021.

I have severe skin laxity due to weight loss and suspected EDS - I have hypermobility and symptoms such as joint pain and cervical instability, but no confirmed genetic test. I am scheduled for a deep plane face / neck lift and endoscopic eyebrow lift in July, but the doctor prefers not to touch the eyes because I had eyelid surgery in 2023 to recover field of vision and prevent dry eye due to lower eyelid laxity. The medical issues were improved, but the eyelid incision is still discolored after 3 years, and the worst of it is that even after eyelid surgery, the eyelids are heavy, flaccid and almost closed. I'm 44 but I look 64. I do not have hopes that the endoscopic brow lift or deep plane face and neck lift will improve the eyes... Is there any hope with a second eyelid surgery, or should I just resignate myself?

My under eyes have always bothered me and now that I’m a balding man, getting ready to shave my head, seeing what I’d look like bald, they really bother me (bald heads can look great on handsome faces). I’m ready to address my concerns but I’m not sure what the actual diagnosis would be and what would be the most appropriate action to take. I’m wondering whether this looks more like lower-eyelid fat pads, fluid retention/festoons/malar edema, tear trough hollowing, or something else. Sometimes the under eyes look hollow (outside of eye) and other times I can pinch extra skin (mostly in morning). When I smile it always makes my eyes look extra puffy. This area always looks worse in the morning when I first wake up but once I shower and use my moisturizer, everything usually bounces back into place. As I get older, I’m noticing that it takes longer to look more presentable. I really dislike the tear trough contrast and puffiness more than anything, although I really don’t like the cheek descent either. The first few pics in red shirt are me in my 30s. The next pics in green shirt are me in my 40s. The last few pics are me at age 53. As you can see I’ve had these concerns for a long time. I don’t want to look completely different, just subtly tighten things up to feel more comfortable with a bald head. Thoughts on what would work best for my concerns?

There is loose skin on upper eyelids, but a puffiness on the inner corners which I would like corrected, what sort of surgeon and procedure do I need?
