Doctor Q&A

I'm a low BMI, low breast tissue patient who priortizes implant longevity and am interested in Motiva Ergonomix 275cc moderate profile for a natural look and feel. My surgeon is suggesting a modified submuscular placement with 90% muscle coverage. Rather than a traditional dual plane with full inferior muscle release, we would retain some muscles to create a sling or internal bra. I like the concept, but just want to know what other surgeons think. Also, is Ergonomix more difficult to place than round and anatomical implants? this surgeon's clientele doesn't request ergonomix often, but I really like his breast augmentation outcomes otherwise. Would his skill with other implant types transfer to Ergonomix?

I had my breast lift (donut) and augmentation last year with a 255 cc high profile implant. This is how I look. Is this a snoopy deformity?

Hello. Ive had a tummy tuck procedure about 3 yrs ago. I started developing pain, pulling and tightbess aroud my navel. I notice it gets worse around my period, which at times it can be unbearable. I was wondering could it hsve been from tubes? Did it leave internal scarring? I just need to be poinred in the right direction so i can live a normal life. This is taking a toll on my mental

I’m 5’3 150 pounds 33 yrs old. ive had pregnancy and weight loss and lipo before. I do not need a roll-less back. I’m not looking to be americas next top model or an instagram model. If a tummy tuck with lipo or extended tummy tuck can improve these back rolls i would be okay with that. Other options im told is a back lift, which i dont want to do BUT if this is the only way to improve the appearance i may have no choice. Also, i asked chat gpt and uploaded my photo it also sugge Circumfriential tummy tuck. So now im left to see what you guys suggest. Im tired of sending my photos oneby one to every clinic.

I had liposuction done in 2020 and ended up with rregularities. 5 years later in 2025 i decided to try and get it dixed with another lipo procedure. The procedure did not go well and i ended up with burns on my stomach. It prevented me from wearing a compression garment. Now i have the burn scars and more fibroses. Would it be safe to get a tummy tuck to correct loose skin or is there a risk?

Are there any doctors who specialize in doing a rhinoplasty, lip lift and lower lid blepharoplasty/fat repositioning for under eye hollows all in one? These are all on my wishlist but to save on anesthesia costs and life interruptions, I'd prefer to get them all done at once. Of course, I don't want to skimp on safety or quality though, so I would only go through ugh a 3-in-1 with someone who frequently does the combination bf has reliable results. Thank you!

What would I need to have done to get me from this, to this? Nasal bridge reduction and nostril reduction? I don't have a problem with my side profile, I just want a smaller version if my nose.

Hello. I do not want any other work done to my nose besides the slight hanging. I had a consultation and we agreed columella reduction was appropriate for my wants. But I am second guessing myself. From the front my nose looks super long until i poke at mu columella to see what it would look like it wasnt drooping there. I avoid taking pictures from eye level because of droop. Its not the entire tip drooping.

Age 30 and just now looking Into a rhinoplasty. It used to be more upturned growing up than it is now and I got bullied a lot. Even though I’ve grown into it a bit, I still get the ‘Button nose’ and ‘fairy nose’ as ‘compliments’. At this point i cant tell if its just a good fit for my face or if i should seriously consider rhinoplasty.

Im a 42 year old womanwho is 5 10 185lbs-BF28%. I wrkout 5 to 6 days a week but dont have a significant hip and waist definition. I would like to get lipo360 and a bbl to add a shelf and hips to my frame. Is that possible with my current body shape?

I had traditional liposuction of the inner/outer thighs, lower butt and knees in 2005 and pleased with my results. In 2008 after childbirth, I had SmartLipo done in the same areas and it created significant skin sagging and dimpling that doesn't improve with exercise. I like the overall shape on my butt but can’t wear bathing suit bottoms or shorts because of the severe dimpling and sagging that is visible. I don’t know if BBL is the right procedure or what is?

I have a procedure coming up in a few days for 360 Lipo, extended tummy tuck & BBL. I have an inverted triangle shape so it will be nice to have some hips however I am so scared of the BBL. Is fat transfer to just hips safer than full transfer to hips & buttocks? Will my results look odd if I ask for just fat transfer to hips as I have a relatively flat bum? How about long term implications of fat transfer as we age? My priority is safety, TIA

I got a BBL about a year ago.... after the first 6 months I started to notice asymmetry. Long story short surgeon is impossible to reach. Its been 2 years and I have worst selfsteem than before my surgery. Before my surgery I just had no butt lol now I have a very deformed one, its like every day is migrating more into my lower hip and i cant do anything to stop it. Its crazy how ever since I got my bbl I dont wear anything thight or short dresses, or bathing suits. I used to go to the beach on a weekly basis now I have tl go sunrise to ensure nobody sees this mounstrosity.... can this be fixed with excersice?

Hello, I am 35 years old, healthy , 5’3 , 123 pounds, I don’t smoke or drink and I am physically active. I ‘ve had silicon implants under the muscle 280ml since 2013 and would like to remove them. I also would like to get a breast lift done and a BBL with lipo 360. However some providers say they do not combine mastopexy with BBL and others do. What are the best options for me? Do all together at once , explant with BBL and wait if I need a lift , or separate the breast procedures and the BBL ?

I am 35 years old, 5ft3 and 160lbs. I broke my neck 8 years ago in a car accident and had a cervical fusion. I had a breast reduction 3 years ago and it took me from a g36 to a d36. I still feel like they are too big and causing me more pain than i need. Would i be a good candidate for another?

I wanna know how small I can go from 38G with breast reduction and lifting, is it gonna be possible to see under my boobs after surgery? And will I need FNG to be C cup? Will I be able to breastfeed? And for armpit fat can I get rid of that fat while breast reduction or liposuction will be needed? Plus I’m 5”3 and 150 pounds. Should I lose weight before surgery?

Black female. My surgeon stated a free nipple graft is required if I want to go down to a D cup, from my current G cup.

After my breasts dropped I noticed wrinkling and sagging where my cleavage should be flat and smooth. I’m guessing the weight of my breasts is causing it and I’m really worried there’s nothing to be done. I went from 38 J to 34 DD though I had hoped to go smaller. This looks really bad in bikinis and low cut tops. please tell me it’s fixable!

Hello, I need some help plese. Ive been getting botox for just over 2 years now. I had it done last march and then again kast september. I havent hsd it done since, but its still there. Only A littlre movement has come back. I developed these comma shaped lumps under both brows, but nainly my right one last August. Just appeared suddenly. I have adked people including the doctor eho did my botox but he has no jdea what it is. Has anyone seen something like this before. Please please help. Its been there for 8 months now and showing no sign of going away.

Pictures provided, I havent even entered my 30s yet, but I have these harsh shadows around my mouth corners and nasal folds that make me look deflated in most lighting situations (unless front facing). It’s ruining my self-esteem because I cant stand looking at it. Note: I put on a ton of moisturizer so you can see the shadows more dramatic.

The last time I had a Botox appointment, the NP injected at the usual spots. She asked me about my mapping at my last appointment. I told her it was fine except I had frozen forehead including fatigue. After this appointment, I did not get frozen forehead but I had extreme fatigue. It felt like my forehead was pushing my eyelids closed. I no longer wish to have my forehead and "11" for now. Is it possible to still get injectables for my crows feet without causing fatigue? If I buy a certain amount of units ahead of time, do I have to use all of it or can they save my syringe? Thank you doctors!

I am feeling very self-conscious about the skin under my chin after lipo+laser and another round of just laser treatment to correct. Any advice for someone on a budget trying to fix it?

Hi doctors, I had a breast augmentation last year and have since developed mild capsular contracture on one side. In addition, I was not fully satisfied with the overall look, as I would prefer a slightly fuller and softer result. My surgeon has recommended fat grafting to improve both the contour and fullness. The plan is to harvest approximately 300cc of fat in total (around 150cc from each inner thigh), with a small amount potentially taken from the outer thighs if needed. My main concern is that I truly love the current shape of my thighs and legs. I work out regularly, maintain a very healthy lifestyle, and have good skin quality, so I would not want to compromise their appearance in any way. I would really appreciate your input on the following: • With this volume (150cc per inner thigh), what is the risk of developing dents, waviness, or contour irregularities in the inner thigh area? • How predictable are results when performing liposuction in the inner thighs, given that it is considered a delicate area? • Can this amount of fat removal noticeably change the overall shape or contour of the thighs? • Is it common to not require compression garments after this type of liposuction, or could that increase the risk of uneven healing or swelling? • In your experience, is fat grafting an effective approach both for mild capsular contracture and for achieving a fuller, more natural-looking result? For reference, I am 29 years old. Thank you in advance — I want

Hi, How long does it take for swelling to resolve after liposuction on front thighs and knee complex? I had outer thigh lipo before and looking into get front thigh and knee lipo now. Outer thigh healed nicely and most of the swelling was gone in 2 months. Will the swelling time be different for these parts? Thanks!

I am interested in getting a facelift, unsure about the best type/ option. I am very unhappy with my nasolabial folds and jowls. I would also like my nose repaired. I had surgery done in 2006 for a deviated septum, but was injured after the surgery, which caused some curving of my septum tissue (see picture). I’m concerned about using only filler for the folds. I want something that looks a little bit more natural. Perhaps that transfer is a better alternative?

Hello, I want to rejuvenate my face and I would greatly appreciate advice regarding what surgeries would benefit me. | want to treat: Vertical depressions on forehead due to loss of volume, Horizontal wrinkles on forehead, Lower eye bags, Nasolabial folds , Hanging cheeks when looking down or tilting head.

From my teenage years I had developed deep nosolabial fold. Right now I'm 33 and I also developed marionette lines and malar bags. I'm looking for a solution to lift my skin like on the last photo. I tried filler in nl folds many years ago and it wasn't effective. Now I'm hearing that filler in cheek region may help lift the folds but I'm not sure will it be enough for my problem.

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)?

I had an upper bleph and the lateral corners are turned down. What will it take to return them to the more natural position.
