Doctor Q&A

Dear Luminous210670,

finding the right Dr. is extremely challenging especially with the number of online platforms and resources available. There a lot of great Dr's available. Make sure he/she is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Definitely check to make sure your choice specializes in the procedure you want and spend the time to read through patient testimonials. There is a number of different sites where you can check for reviews (Realself, yelp, google, etc.).

That's an excellent question! And the answer is yes, in fact, it's a very common and recommended practice. Umbilical hernia repair can be performed safely and efficiently during the same abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) procedure.

Dear sirucjendirndv,

based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question It is not possible to achieve 100% symmetry due to facial asymmetry, but a more symmetrical appearance can be achieved with rhinoplasty. For this reason, I recommend rhinoplasty for you.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

Safety is the number one priority in surgery. Based on the information given weight loss of about 40 pounds would lower your BMI to about 30. Keeping the BMI below this threshold keeps risks like infection, seroma formation, and necrosis from increasing. It also allows your surgeon to optimize your results.

No, removing axillary breast tissue will not really lift the breast. A breast lift is a procedure that removes excess skin and repositions the nipple higher. There are different types of breast lifts depending on the degree of sagging to be corrected. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Patients often think in terms of cup size when considering augmentation. Unfortunately, devices are sized in terms of milliliters (cc) of volume. This can lead to some confusion when sizing. Additionally, it is important to remember that cup size itself is not standardized with variations from one manufacturer to another. Unfortunately, as many women can attest their cup size in an industry leader such as VS is not necessarily transferable to another brand.

My recommendation based on your body type would be Vaser liposuction + BBL, to correct the hip dips and give you the hourglass shape you desire.

Additional laser resurfacing, continued neurotoxin, and a good skin care regimen are good non-surgical approaches to help improve the lower lid appearance. Additional fat grafting could also be an option.
Upper eyelid surgery would help remove excess skin on the upper lid. Best to see an eyelid expert.

This degree of laxity is not going to get much better with just volumization without adding so much volume that you don't look like yourself. A facelift to tighten and smooth the tissues with some targeted volume in the form of fat transfer would give you a better and more balanced result.
