Hello Doctor I’d like to clarify whether my case is suitable for a minimal-scar reverse tummy tuck. My main concerns are: the possibility of developing “dog ears” on the sides, and the risk of wrinkles/vertical lines in the middle of the sternum if I proceed with a minimal-scar reverse approach (without a vertical incision).

Answer

I’m 22, 5’6 and 220 lbs.

Answer

I love my nose from the front and from the left side. But from the right, you notice a bump and a drooping/hook of the tip. Is this a challenging fix? Is it worth getting a rhinoplasty? I'm fearful of coming out of surgery have more issues with my nose than I began with. I'd like to stay under $10k if p, but don't want to sacrifice expertise and quality of work

Answer

I had a rhinoplasty two years ago and have developed a lump on my columella - I’m unsure if this is scar tissue or cartiledge. I’m interested to know if there‘s anything that can be done to reduce the lump without undergoing revision surgery.

Answer

I am 5’1 and 115 lbs , I have had a bbl done by a plastic surgeon many years ago and I honestly believe I was one of his first ones .. after my procedure I was never encouraged to constantly wear the compression garments nor even have a single lymphatic massage, and I did not quit smoking, so no wonder why it didn’t stick , I’ve lost quite a bit of weight via Tirzepatide, I’m wondering if at my new weight and having that done before if I would make a good candidate again for round 2? I’ve DC’d the tirzepatide and managed to gain 4 lbs in the last 3 weeks. Really hoping that there is a possibility to get enough fat off my body for this.

Answer

I had gastric bypass 10 years ago and lost about 170 pounds, which I have maintained. I constantly have to wear compression garments to keep the excess skin contained, but I continue to struggle with rashes and chafing. I would like recommendations regarding a breast lift and panniculectomy. I want to be smaller in my breasts and have the extra skin removed. I also have excess skin on my lower abdomen and my mons area sits lower than I would like. Would this surgery also provide any lift to my thighs?

Hello I am a 35 y/o wife and mother. I am 5’1“ tall and weigh 143 lbs I am pretty active and work out consistently. I will be haunt a mommy makeover consisting of an extended tummy tuck, breast lift & augmentation, with a lipo on my back, flanks & abdomen. My Dr also stated that he would include the fat transfer to my glutes with the procedure. But I’m wondering is the fat transfer to the glutes pushing it too far and should I opt out and maybe do this in another surgery ?? Thanks in advance

Answer

Hi i have a consultation in January and really hoping i can just have implants as a lift here is very expensive. Id like to go for 400cc plus. Thats my goal.

Answer

I'm 178cm (5'10.5) and 69kg, athletic built, lean with very little (AA) native breast tissue after BF 2 kids, no sagging. I might be a good candidate for Preserve or Mia by Motiva, because I want the smallest possible enhancement to not alter my sporty appearance. With the research I have done on Motiva Ergo sizing - once the diameter gets close to 12cm, the volume goes up to at least 275cc, seems that Ergo II (Joy) is even more narrow per cc than Ergo I. If I get diameter 11cm, mini 220cc - will that look silly on my chest and broad shoulders? Like two small ballons in the middle of my chest, no lateral fullness? Is Mia and Preserve designed for more petite girls? Please help, I'm so confused because surgeons in Canada all just do basically dual plane and emphasize the importance of correctly fitting diameter for your breast.

Answer

I am looking to get a breast augmentation, and have had two consultations. 1 surgeon said I can not go higher than a 275 full profile Motiva, the other said a 320 demi profile would be the max. My breast width diameter is 10.5, and per the motiva chart that would be 230 in the demi profile, and 275 in the full. I definitely want demi profile ergonomix, but a 230cc will not give me the results I am looking for. Is going to 320 demi profile safe even though the BWD for that size should be 11.75cm?

Answer

I am 50 and am deliberating whether or not a facelift is worth the downtime and risk. I do not have a double chin or badly sagging neck. My main concern is lower cheek laxity. Thanks.

Answer

I'm almost 72, and I understand that a midlift is appropriate for much younger women, but I had a lowerlift in 2018, which I think is still doing well. Could i be a candidate for a midlift?

Answer

I want to re-post this in the eyelid surgery section as I am not interested in a brow lift. I like to know if Upper blepharoplasty is a possibility for my issue of heavy upper eyelids that decend over my lower eyelids.

Answer

This all started after 7 months of chronic use of sunscreen that used to cause redness every single day. I thought it’s normal cause it’s a popular sunscreen it’s not gonna do anything . By after 7,8 months my eyelid crease won’t glide inwards, forms multiple lines. When I look upwards and when I have to look down it feels stuck. It’s been 8 months since I stopped using that sunscreen my eyelid inflammation is healed now but this crease problem is still same won’t glide inward. Doctor did ptsosis Surgery saying that it’s dropped it’s been 5 months since the surgery but the condition Is still same. It means it was never ptsosis. Now I realise the heaviness I felt was due to restricted crease glide. What can be done now??
