Thank you for your photos. You appeared to have a grade 2 ptosis (breast hang) In order to give you a youthful breast shape and contour you would need to have a breast lift to position your nipple and areola to the correct level. A breast augmentation would give you some additional volume and some upper pole fullness. How high your upper pole fullness goes, would depend upon the width of the implant that you chose. Your implant choice should be guided by the dimensional measurements of...
Without liposuction, you will still get a nice result. You have assymmetry with the left hip larger than the right. As far as a complete tummy tuck, it will depend on the amount of loose skin. This would have to be determoned in person by the surgeon.
Good morning. In general, if the fat is transferred correctly during a BBL, the proportion can be maintained as you gain weight, but it's not guaranteed. Transferred fat behaves like the rest of your body fat: it can increase or decrease depending on your weight, but not always in a perfectly proportional way.The best solution would be to reach a stable, healthy weight that you feel good about and can maintain long-term before your BBL. If you want a little more volume for your fat...
Hello,Thank you for your question.At nearly six years post-rhinoplasty, a persistent lateral nasal bump likely representing a graft or residual irregularity may be addressed non-surgically in select cases. Options include hyaluronic acid filler to camouflage the contour defect or corticosteroid injections if the bump is related to soft scar tissue; however, these are temporary and may not fully correct structural issues. For definitive improvement, minor surgical revision may be necessary.
The first place to start is to discuss your concerns and desires with your primary care doctor and hematologist can.You’ll need them on board no matter who does the surgery if someone does.Even with medical clearance, some plastic surgeons may not want to take on the procedure.You should recognize that the surgeon isn’t the one who’s going to have the complication if one arises it is you.The reason surgeons may not want to do the surgery is because they don’t want you to have morbidi...
Great question! There is no evidence to show that having a breast reduction can increase your risk of developing breast cancer. In fact, removing some of the breast tissue could potentially reduce your risk of breast cancer in the future. In conjunction with surgical oncologists, we sometime actually perform a breast reduction as a first step in patients with a genetic susceptability of breast cancer so that they are able to undergo a nipple sparing prophylactic mastectomy in the future....
Patient concerns regarding the appearance of their breasts can typically be divided in two pools: volume, ptosis (droop). The procedures to address these issues are as different as the issues themselves. However, these concerns are not mutually exclusive. Many patients, whether they are aware or not, will benefit from both.There are two factors which can help to answer the question of which surgery will deliver the most satisfying result: mastopexy, augmentation or both. Patients must first...
Thank you for your question. Congratulations on your weight loss journey, and sticking with your goals! Based on the photographs, liposuction is a great option and with a skin-tightening procedure at the same time. If there is any skin laxity from the weight loss, though, excision with a mini-tummy tuck may be needed. As echoed by many others, if you are planning on having children in the future, it is best to wait for a full tummy tuck once you are through having kids. A consultation with a...
Hello,Thank you for your question.At three months post-op, some healing is still ongoing, but persistent excess skin, hooding, and asymmetry may suggest undercorrection. While minor improvements can occur up to six months, significant residual concerns may require revision. A follow-up with your surgeon or an oculoplastic specialist is recommended to assess the need for further correction.
Congratulations on your weight loss and thank you for your photos. Although your skin has undergone some stretching from your prior weight gain, at your age of 27 it still has a fair amount of elasticity and strength. Your overall facial contour and shape is good. I would think it’s prudent for you to explore possible non-invasive methods of skin tightening prior to considering having a facelift or neck lift at your age. It would be good for you to meet with a board certified plastic s...
