Doctor Q&A

Hello! I'd really like my boobs to look good again as they are not where I want them. Docs, I'd like your evaluation and what procedure options. Thank you very much.

I’m trying to avoid the additional scars that come with an uplift. I currently don’t havd upper pole fullness and thinking of getting 400cc implants. Will this increase the fullness of my upper pole?

I’m getting BA next month and I’m worried that a 375cc moderate profile silicone would be still small. I want it to be big that it covers my frame but not too big. I have one child and I pumped for 6 months. I use to be a 32c (small c), I would say I’m still about that size but they’re more gaps now. My breast base width is 12.5. And he told me the base of the 375cc moderate profile is 13cm. Would a 375cc cover my frame and bring me to a 32dd?

If I want to get my tubes tied, can it be done during a tummy tuck by an OB- Gyn while the plastic surgeon does the tummy tuck? if it should not be done together, should i do the tube tying first and how long would you recommend waiting in between? Thanks!!

Am i a good candidate for a full tummy tuck? Do I have enough skin to work with?

During a consultation I have been told by a surgeon that I qualify for a full Tummy Tuck with a shorter scar. So more extensive than a mini Tummy Tuck where my belly button would be redone because loose skin be pulled from the top down but with a smaller incision than a usual TT. My fear is this may not remove all the loose skin I want and leave me with uneven bulges if the hip area loose skin is not taken along with fat removal if required? Im 49kg and 5ft 1 are my fears correct?

I had a tummy tuck over 3 years ago now. My belly button is basically non existent. I’m Not sure if it’s just keloid. I went to the original surgeon and he is no longer at that office. So I had another surgeon recomment to remove the belly button. I want to know if thats the first solution to this. The belly button leaks clear liquid and it smells horrible. I have no other symptoms.

I have a drooping bulbous nose tip and deep alar creases. Can the deep creases be fixed in a rhinoplasty and/or alarplasty? Or would I be able to get piriform fossa filler either before or after the surgery? Finally, I have a dorsal hump that I don’t mind. Would a surgeon be willing to leave a hump alone and just focus on a tip plasty?

Hi There! At my 4mos post op appt. my Dr. told me he would no longer be seeing me. I paid 20K for this surgery. I never felt welcomed,I was amazed at how catty & immature his staff was. That's beside the point. He's a well known Dr.here.Why would be say this? Now I'll be seen on an "as needed basis" if probs arise. I won't be having a 1yr post op appt.for my final results! Is this normal because I find it absurd! VERY unhappy!This was a revolving door situation!

My eyes are incredibly close together, and the overly pronounced sides of my nose create an unflattering expression. Is it possible to make them a little smaller?

I am good with my nose width, but it bother me my front view because of my upper nose. Do I need an osteotomy?

I'm looking to have a (mini) BBL .... I have minimal fat on my back nor thighs with most of the problem areas being deposits around the lower belly and flanks post 4 babies I'm interested to know if its ever possible just to take fat from these areas for transfer into hip dips for a more round shape? What are the fewest possible scars? .... Two on lower abdomen and belly button? Where are the optimal incisions for the flank area. Looking for a subtle natural result! Thanks

Hello, I am a non-binary person, assigned Male at birth, and I would like to have a BBL for gender affirming purposes to give me a more feminine shape and some extra volume. I have a rather lean build due to the gym, and I understand that will likely make it difficult for me to get a BBL. I understand for some patients, surgeons can recommend weight gain, but it cannot be rapid weight gain. I am doing my research in advance to understand my options, but I can't find any information about how these patients are supposed to gain weight. What is the recommendation? Gain weight through caloric surplus over a number of months? I would really appreciate the insight as I continue to learn about the options. I have ruled out implants for personal reasons, and that leaves me learning about Sculptra and a Lipo360 BBL.

I’ve had a BBL 1 year and a half ago and I developed a deep infragluteal contour depression after my BBL that was not present before surgery. I haven’t seen or heard about this in anyone else but me. So I’m a bit concerned. I would like to know whether this is an adhesion/tethering or a volume deficiency, and what would be the safest way to correct it I developed also cellulite that wasn’t there before. Could someone please give me an advice and tell me if there is any way to correct this?

HI, I know alot of surgeons do a tt same time as bbl, but if you have the time to recover, isn't it logistically safer and better to do them separate to allow for better healing. When sitting on bbl pillow, aren't you putting pressure on lower thighs and cutting off some circulation to buttock?

I wanted a mommy makeover am 48yo, however I'll have to put my dream makeover on hold for both hip and knee replacements, my question is will these joint replacements affect me getting a mommy makeover in the near future?

After having 3 kids via csection, I’m looking to get my body back I am willing to travel but need advice on which procedures I need. Do I need lipo 360 or will a tummy tuck and lipo of the flanks be enough to give me a good hourglass shape and flat abdomen? I know combining both theres a limit of removing much less fat. Also terrified of doing a bbl but want to avoid looking “rectangle” is avoiding one possible?

Hello, I would like to know when can I start driving after a breast reduction, I am 18 day post BR... 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

I’m 5’1, I weigh 108 I would love implants but I’m not sure if UTM or OTM would suit best , or what kind of implants as well

I am getting a primary breast augmentation with silicone implants in two weeks. I recently had my pre-op appointment. Based on my goals and having tried on various sizers, my surgeon and I selected Sientra high profile 385cc round implants, dual plane.My rationale was that I loved the look of the 355cc sizers, but my surgeon advised that the healed implants would look a bit smaller and less projected. So, with that in mind, we felt it better to go a smidge bigger to account for the compression that placing it under the muscle will add, hence landing at 385cc.My question lies around my breast width diameter. My BWD was measured both physically and digitally at 10.5cm, whereas this implant has a base diameter of 12.5cm. Will this automatically spell doom for me?As we discussed at our consult and pre-op, I am hoping for noticeably fuller breasts with nice softness, more lower pole fullness than upper pole, nice cleavage, and a natural profile/slope.Does all of this sound reasonable? Should I be going with a smaller high profile implant to be closer to my BWD, or is it true that there is some wiggle room with respect to BWD and implant diameter, and that surgical skill plays a big part? I guess my only hesitancy with going forward is that the implants would be under too much tension and feel less soft than I'd like.I am 5'2" and 122 lbs, currently a 32B hoping to gain at least 2 cup sizes. My measurements right now are 33-26-38. I am petite in height but fairly curvy.

Hello, I am 49 and deciding on whether a facelift is the best option for aging at their time. I have done fillers, Morpheus, Ultherapy, etc in the past. Thank you for your time.

I am 56, 5'6 & 114lb. Very fit and I eat healthy. I feel very young on the inside and just want my outside to match! Am I good candidate for a facelift and how much would that cost?

I am 32, 75kg and 180cm and looking to get liposuction to remove excess fat from my upper arms. Would I be able to get a good result with traditional liposuction or am I likely to need an alternative option e.g. vaser liposuction?

No matter how lean I get, I have always had a distinct "B-shaped" belly with a noticeable indentation/crease right across the middle (around the belly button area) and what I believe to be some fat pockets. For context, I am currently 5’2” and 50 kg (110 lbs). I have a slim build overall, and my weight is stable, but this specific shape persists. I have a few specific questions: 1. Can liposuction actually smooth out this specific "B-shape” and achieve a flat, smooth contour here? 2. How does this affect long-term fat distribution? If I were to gain weight in the future, would my body still deposit fat back into this distinct B-shape, or would the weight gain be more evenly/smoothly distributed in the treated area 3. What is a realistic expectation for fat removal at my size?

I am 4'11. I know im overweight but i want to get down to 160. Im on a diet. What wilm get rid of my back rolls? What type of liposuction dont want to do a back lift.

I’ve always had a more athletic build since as long as I can remember! I have 3 kids now. They were spaced out every 4-5 years. My last I believe changed my body, to the point my stomach isn’t as tight as it used to be and I also have some saggy skin above my belly button! I was looking into getting liposuction thinking this should solve my issue with my stomach but I’m not sure if I have distasis recti? I’m my same pre pregnancy weight but abdomen still is flabby. Which is unusual for me.

I’d say as of now, I store around 30-35% of my body fat around my abdominal and flank area, and around 60% in my lower body, with my upper body being quite small. I am thinking of having lipo to my abdominal and flank area. I am at a very healthy weight aat the moment but have stubborn areas. Since I tend to store abdominal fat, does that mean after lipo, if I hypothetically gain weight as I age it will be stored as visceral fat? How does the visceral fat increase work? Or would it still remain subcutaneous, just stored in other areas?

Hi, I have a lazier eye, and I started vision therapy two years ago and significantly improved my vision. I also wear contacts now which helps me to see the same out of both eyes. Two years ago I started vision therapy and patching. My eyes used to be the same level on my face. Now one visibly is lower. I think the lower eye sits back further in my head as well. I've been looking into oculoplastic surgery but I'm not sure what would be helpful in my situation. possibly orbital surgery or blepharoplasty? People visibly notice my eye difference way more than they ever used to. Its hard to just go to work.

I have been thinking about upper eyelid surgery but then I am wondering whether it will be enough to open my eyes? I have very obvious extra skin on my eyelashes and a having a lower set brow does not bother me personally, as long my eyes are not covered by the skin. Can I do well just with the eyelid surgery (which is faster and less costly)?
