Doctor Q&A

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...

You would do well with a high lateral tension abdominoplasty. Under no conditions should you do the 'reverse abdominoplasty' which is, in my opinion, a horrible procedure in almost all instances.

Dear Awesome788181,

I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.
It is best, however, that you...

Answer from Dr. Sean Hill, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon at Lone Star Plastic Surgery – Frisco, TX:
Thank you for your question — improving male nasal aesthetics requires a precise, individualized approach that enhances structure without feminizing the features. Based on your concerns, it sounds like you’re an excellent candidate for primary rhinoplasty focused on profile refinement and balance.

Hello and thank you for your question. Congratulations on your 40lb weight loss! That is definitely life changing. However, the weight loss does come with the effect of leaving behind skin laxity. In gfeneral, the effect of the prior operations is that there is scar tissue in the anatomical/surgical planes that makes additional procedures a little more tricky - not impossible, but it just might take longer and it may not be possible to remove all of the previous scar tissue. So if there is a...

Good morning. Based on your photos, you could benefit from a breast lift with a small volume reduction. This option relieves heaviness, improves the shape of your bust, and would give you a more comfortable and harmonious contour with your body, without the need for a drastic reduction. The goal would be to achieve a more manageable size (like a C cup, as you mentioned), with a higher and firmer bust position. The results are usually very satisfactory both aesthetically and functionally...

Hello, and thank you for your question about moderate plus versus high-profile implants. Thank you for your history and your pictures. I suggest you follow up with her chosen plastic surgeon and ask specifically to see a 325 cc moderate implant compared to a 325 cc high-profile implant. Then, place each implant underneath your bra to see the subtleties of the implants. Alternatively, some apps can be used where you insert the type of implant, and a computer-generated proposed image is...

Swelling resolved at different rates for everyone. With good compression, most of the swelling will likely be gone in 2-3 months, but it will continue to improve for even 5-6 months.

Based on your nicely post of photos, I agreed that a lower lid plasty with nano fat transfers are indicated. Best of a virtual consult with. Expect fees to range from $5000-$6000. Again, best of virtual consult with.

Hello, and thank you for your question regarding two raised bumps above your forehead, what are they, and what can be done? Thank you for your history and your single picture. Based on your single picture, it appears that there is a mass underneath the skin. It is likely to be bone, specifically the periorbital bone. That means the bone around your orbit, specifically above your eyebrow. Bone in this area can grow as people age and mature. They are called osteomas. Sometimes, this...
