Doctor Q&A

Hello, I had a breast Aug in 2023. It was great but it laterally displaced a lot and bottomed out. The left one also had troubles dropping and cap con was suspected. I decided to get a revision surgery in Feb 2025 from a diff surgeon due to where I moved. I asked the surgeon to go a bit bigger and move them in slightly. I think between a slight miscommunication, the bigger implants, and them sitting closely, I have been so unhappy. It has really thrown me off and started to cause some back and chest pain. Along with some numbness I still have in the bottom right quadrant of my breast and achiness throughout. The bottom of the breast also feels a bit crackly and bumpy, I have scheduled an ultrasound. I did not know there was a difference between cosmetic board certified and plastic surgery board certified. I am from canada where all surgeons have to do the extensive requirements And connot pratice as a GS. The surgeon I saw did her year long fellowship after she was a GS. She had only been practicing approx 1.7 years. She had great bedside manner and was extremely great to work with, but now I question the experience and hope there was no life long chronic pain caused. I am wondering if it’s possible to go from the 415 cc to 315-25 without a lift? Is a 2nd revision a bad idea? The second surgeon had to modify the old pocket with slight transaction and bilateral capsulorrhaphy. Would I be able to go back more to the way my original pockets were with breasts further apart

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.

Trying to avoid getting lift until after having kids. No kids, 5’7 155lbs, big weight cycles. 32D to 40K to 34G. Stable now. Just want to restore upper pole, dont care if I need a huge implant to do so, used to having giant boobs. Also fine with “heavy hanger” look, but also don’t want waterfall/snoopy. Just don’t think they’re that bad? am i out of touch?

Hi ive been told by 1 surgeon id need a ETT but by another surgeon ive been told im a candidate for ETT & FDL. Im not a fan of the vertical scar but surgeon 2 told me i could have abit of loose skin aftet Lipo at the top of my tummy. I dont feel i have too much fat at the top of my tummy and i dont get any roles at the top of my tummy either when i sit but i do get alot of skin when i lean over. I need muscle repair and am hoping with that, i may be able to rone my stomach. Ive had 4 children and rapid weightloss of 6 stone within 5 months

I’m 5’0” and went from 152 lbs to 119 lbs with a GLP-1. Really wasn’t expecting everything to be so loose and lumpy, but here we are :/ I feel like I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place where, if I lose anymore belly fat, I could be left with more skin laxity. I’m especially frustrated with the fat/skin/whatever they are pockets beneath my breasts. I’m also looking at getting a breast lift/aug to address the deflated appearance I’m left with and want to make sure I have the best “foundation” possible to put the new breasts on. Just wondering what I might be a candidate for and/or if anyone has any thoughts on if attempts at further fat shedding will just make the situation worse

Hi, 47 year old female with no previous facial surgeries. Over the last 18months my nose cartridge has slowly been moving to the right side, giving that side a bulbous appearance and a line/ridge appearing from thr front. What kind of surgery would fix this issue?

I have a pretty round nose tip and a long columella. I have pretty thick skin from my understanding and I was looking to get a simple procedure done ideally mostly to the tip. I do have flaws in my bridge but I want to keep them since Im looking for something subtle. My goal here would be changing the shape of the tip to something pointer and less round and shortening the hanging part. Im not really looking to make it any smaller outside of that. Is that a realistic goal ?

I'm 26 years old. And I'm uncomfortable with the way my tip looking, when I smile it gets wider and from the side droppy. But my tip ifof nose is slightly thick skin and also every morning my nose swollen, and my question is if iI can get the exact look like at the picture.

Hello doctors, I've attached several photos and would appreciate your professional opinion. I'm trying to understand whether my butt actually has ptosis (sagging), or if the issue is simply a lack of upper and side pole fullness or projection. I hv some questions: -Would you consider my butt to be sagging, or is it primarily a volume deficiency? -What procedure would you recommend to achieve a natural result? -I don't want a large or exaggerated butt. My goal is simply to restore balance, fill any hollow areas if needed, and create a subtle, natural hourglass shape that matches my body proportions. Would fat grafting alone be sufficient, or would another procedure be more appropriate? If surgery isn't necessary, would you recommend non-surgical treatments or targeted glute exercises instead? I'd really appreciate an honest, objective assessment based on the photos. Thank you for your time.

What do I need to do to get an hourglass figure. And get rid of the muffin tops

How effective is this procedure please

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

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.

This question isn't specifically about a Facelift. It could be. As stated in the title, my question: As a doctor of aesthetics, what could be done to improve the overall harmony of my face? I think I have some obvious problem areas, but I'm not sure which thing is the biggest detractor, or which procedures could benefit me the most (if any at all.) Thank you.

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?

I have tried fat grafting and fillers but I think the issue is bone structure. I was looking into Infraorbital implants because I heard those can help with bulging eyes and a flat midface which I do have.

First pic is mine second pic is an ideal eye area that I desire
