Yes; Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you. I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, if interested. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results...

Based on your photos, there’s no clear sign of diastasis, and your abdomen looks well-supported, which is consistent with not needing muscle repair. Of course, the only definitive confirmation is during surgery, but your surgeon’s in-person evaluation is usually reliable.
However, if you’re not planning future pregnancies and want a more defined waistline and stronger core support, then I would recommend rectus muscle plication, as it can further enhance your contour

That's a great question, and it's smart to be thinking about the details of your post-op care! When it comes to a BBL, the absolute number one rule is to protect the newly transferred fat cells. Any pressure on them can keep them from establishing a blood supply and surviving.

This is why we, as cosmetic surgeons, recommend against fajas with butt cut-outs after a BBL. That open area can cause the buttocks to sag and spread, putting tension on the fragile fat grafts. A seamless, closed faja...

Hello and thank you for your question. The final results take at least 1.5 years for the swelling to fully resolve. This can require lots of patience and waiting. Steroid injections performed by your surgeon can be extremely helpful. I usually start steroid injections around 1 to 2 months after surgery and continue as needed. With that being said, the final outcome will really depend on the surgical techniques that your surgeon used during your surgery. I recommend that you maintain close...

Thank you for your question.A breast lift (mastopexy) and a reverse tummy tuck are two different procedures, even though both are performed in the upper abdomen and breast area.
The incision used for a breast lift by itself does not allow us to “pull up” the stomach skin. To tighten that upper abdominal skin, we need to use the specific reverse tummy tuck technique, which uses incisions placed in the breast fold and is designed to remove and lift excess upper-abdominal skin.
In some pat...

Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and...

Thank you for submitting your question and photo! Liposuction on the thighs can absolutely be an option for patients who struggle with stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. The procedure works best for targeted contouring rather than overall weight loss.
For many patients, leg liposuction helps improve shape and proportion, giving a smoother and more defined contour. However, ideal candidates are typically at or near a stable weight, with good skin elasticity — this hel...

Thank you for your photos. You appeared to be young and therefore a direct brow lift where the incision is placed just above your eyebrows seems a bit aggressive. A direct brow lift is a good option in older patients whose brows hang low. If an upper blepharoplasty is performed in these patients, it fixes the brow into that lower position. Your brow looks like it is in reasonable position and therefore an upper blepharoplasty would be your best option to equalize and rejuvenate your upper...

Without photos, educated opinions are hard to give and evaluate - theoretically, yes you can do some maneuvers - get into the deep plane without messing with the nasolabial / lip area. But by going deep plane and lifting, whatever you have in the area - silicone, might be moved a little further up your face. Again, without photos, hard to tell. Neck lift is commonly done with facelift - and can be done without touching the face. Endoscopic lift? or Endotine lift? These are techniques for...
