Hello! I want to start off by saying I have upmost respect for plastic surgeons. Also, I understand there are natural limitations. As Im looking through galleries to narrow down who Id like to set up consults with, I see some stunning results as well as things that would disappoint me. I think my plan is to set up consults with surgeons that have the most consistent results. But even the galleries that have lots of Impressive results, also have a fair share of things that make me nervous. Also, I found a surgeon that I really like his abdominoplasties , but another that beats his augmentation w lifts. So I find myself asking if boobs or tummy are more important to me. Does anyone have words of wisdom regarding this? One specific questioneven the surgeon that i love his tummies, has belly buttons once in a while That have the circle from the sutures. Is there a certain population of pts that are more at risk of having this? Or is it the luck of the draw? Again, you guys rock! Just naturally a little nervous.
I had a mommy makeover March 1st, 2010. This included tummy tuck, breast lift, breast augmentation, hernia repair, and liposuction of the hips. I recently noticed that I have discoloration (bruising) in the area where I had liposuction. The bruising is almost symmetrical on both hips. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the bruising? My doctor has diagnosed me with hemosiderin staining. Will it be permanent? Can someone explain this condition to me?
Interested in a breast augmentation but starting to think more seriously about a TT/MR/Lipo. I cant really fathom doing that all plus breast augmentation together. Is there a reason its better to do it as one surgery vs two? If I do the augmentation first, will my body change so much from the TT that the implants wont look right any longer? Is it more cost effective together?
I am scheduled for mommy makeover surgery four weeks from today and Ive been having concerns with my teeth one of my molars that is needing a root canal which is pending scheduling due to insurance. It does not swell, but it does occasionally hurt while eating or biting down I did see a dentist did recommend the root canal and did prescribe doxycycline, which I am currently taking my concerns of not being better before surgery. I dont experience any swelling. I do notice the swollen lymph node underneath my neck other than that Im fine. Any advice?
I had been battling a UTI since last Wednesday and took ciproflaxin that wasn't helping was prescribed something stronger and went away, when they did culture said it tested back negative . However I don't have the uti or its symptoms anymore but dr said I have raised white blood cells aND I have surgery tomorrow. I'm confused if I should have surgery tomorrow or wait . What are some consequences if I do decide to go forward with surgery ?? I am married 6 years and hubby swears not possible?
I had a TT and BL/partial Body lift abut a year ago. Tummy scars small and turning white. Breast scars still red and about 1/2 inch wide! Doctor suggests scar revision treatment. Anyone have success with this? Why is the same body healing so differently in different areas of the body?
