My nose looks strange and unappealing to look at from the side, would a rhinoplasty can fix my probl
What do you find strange about it?
Oct 29, 2020
Certainly the overall shape of your nose seems good. It could be made a bit smaller. And your profile might be better balanced by bringing your chin out. Set up an appointment with a Consultant in Plastic Surgery
What’s the difference between 360 Lipo, Liposculpture and BBL?
The differences are merely marketing
Oct 29, 2020
Your question exposes one of the big problems in Plastic Surgery. Marketing. These names, Lipo 360, liposculpture, etcetera are made up. There is no technical difference. Nor is there special training or equipment needed for any of these. It is all liposuction. The key to getting the results you desire is to talk in person with a superb Plastic Surgeon and find out what she or he honestly believes they can achieve with YOU. it depends not on removing all the fat you can, but on how your skin…
Is a result like this achievable for my side profile without the “pinched look” for the front of my
You can definitely achieve what you want.
Mar 3, 2020
There is no requirement to pinch the tip of the nose. An experienced rhinoplasty surgeon should be able to adjust technique to obtain the results you desire. Look for the surgeon’s examples to all look different from each other (but still attractive and balanced).  
Can I achieve the nose on the right with fillers?
Liquid rhinoplasty has limitations
Jan 11, 2020
Injecting filler will bring up low areas. It will always make the nose larger. For your nose, it has no value. Your nose has excess cartilage and bone in the bridge and the tip of your nose does not project enough. While I understand you have concerns about surgery, it is your only option to achieve anything like what you express in your photoshop. Rhinoplasty surgery is very safe and effective. But do your research to find a Surgeon with years of experience, and with whom you feel totally…
Deep crease under my eye and dry skin?
Surgery is not the answer
Apr 13, 2017
It seems like you have a dermatitis. You live in NH, where it is cold and dry in the winter. I would find a good eye cream or serum, and give that a try. If you want to be more aggressive with this, then I’d suggest seeing a dermatologist.
Want/need a BA: What do you tell anxiety ridden patients?
Surgery is really quite safe!
Apr 12, 2017
And comfortable. I know the anxieties people have, having operated on thousands of people. This is an operation that is performed under very controlled conditions, with highly predictable results. The type of surgery you are seeking has a wonderful safety track record. In my practice, 95%+ of my patients can comfortably go out to dinner the night of surgery, and rarely need anything for pain more than an ibuprofen. We don’t use paralyzing agents, we don’t use breathing tubes or gases, and …
Can I safely go 30DD-DDD to a 30B/small 30D with a breast reduction with stretch marks and areola lo
Breast Reduction is a safe operation
Mar 29, 2017
It looks as if you really would benefit from a breast reduction. You will not get rid of all of the stretch marks, but the areolas will be smaller, and the shape should improve as well. No one can guarantee any cup size, as there is no industry standard for measuring a cup. You will, however benefit from the decrease in weight on your chest, back, neck and shoulders. You should definitely set up a consultation with a Plastic Surgeon to discuss this.
One breast didn’t settle properly – 18 months post-op.
How do implants settle?
Feb 11, 2017
It would be good to see what you are talking about, but it sounds like you should have it looked at again. And it sounds like you would like to get an opinion from another surgeon (which is why you are posting here), so definitely do that.
Revision for Double bubble/bottoming out and desire for increased size.
Options for drop-out
Feb 8, 2017
There are, as others have posted, different causes of drop out. Certainly implants that are larger than the footprint of your breasts can lead to this, but also the action of the pectoral muscle as well as the hydraulic effect of saline implants over time (I know you have silicone gel). The implant can slide under the Scarpa’s fascia layer and you then see the double bubble.Solutions (and there are multiple because there probably isn’t ONE that’s reliably the best) include closing down the…
I’m 47 years old and I’m getting breast augmentation but I can’t decide on smooth or textured any Ad
Why would you use a textured implant?
Jan 24, 2017
Texturing was developed as a solution to prevent capsular contracture. The reason for this was back in the ’80s we had a polyurethane covered implant product available that had a significantly lower capsular contracture (scar tightening around the implant) rate. So much so that surgeons could feel comfortable placing the implants OVER the muscle again without the high likelihood of contracture. The other implant companies couldn’t or wouldn’t use polyurethane, but in believing that the …
Do I need muscle repair?? My surgeon performs a TT procedure that is between a mini and a full abdom
Muscle Plication is Likely Needed
Jan 19, 2017
While often not needed (some surgeons always do it, though) muscle fascia tightening (plication) may be an important part in your flat tummy. When the abdominal fascia is seen directly during the surgery, the true diastasis (separation) can be determined. The repair may give you a longer return to the gym, and may give more discomfort, but in my 30 years of performing this operation, I have found that this is usually not significant. I do not use drains, pain pumps or Exparel as I have not…
Doc said no muscle repair for my TT. Can I request it?
Muscle tightening is often, but not always needed
Dec 19, 2015
Your surgeon is aligned with you to give you the best possible outcome for you. If your surgeon has a lot of experience doing this operation, and has a proven track record, you should trust that she or he will apply that expertise to give you this outcome. If the preop assessment is that you may not need fascia repair, that doesn’t mean you won’t get it. If the structure of the abdominal wall warrants it at the time of surgery, it will be done. While your selfies suggest laxity, it’s…
Is bruising and blistering normal after a breast reduction?
Steri Strips can cause blistering
Oct 11, 2015
It is not uncommon forSteri Strips to cause blistering. They heal generally without any long term effects. It is important to keep them from not drying out, but ointments like neosporin and bacitracin don’t really deliver the antibiotic, and often, as it appears from your photos can cause contact dermatitis. That’s the redness, bumpiness and itching. Keeping the areas clean and just applying a thin film of A&D ointment will probably help, but speak to your surgeon. It’s super important to…
Would you recommend Lipofilling?
Precision is important in a great Breast Augmentation outcome
Aug 26, 2015
The outcome that you are looking to obtain is key to answering your questions. Aquafilling is performed only in a few countries in Europe, and is injection of a synthetic gel substance that is hydrophilic, in other words, attracts water. I cannot comment on the longevity of this, and from the photos I’ve observed on their web site, there can be some irregularities in shape and symmetry. While fat grafting is effective, it is not without its own challenges. While we can put in exactly…
Do you think this looks like bottoming out?
Bottoming Out
Jul 25, 2015
It does appear you are bottoming out. The reason this occurs is the implant slides behind the Scarpa’s fascia at the fold. This is often in relation to the action of the strong muscle squeezing the implant down and outward. The implant goes downward and the breast slides up over the top of the implant, so that the nipple rides up. It is correctable.Hope that helpsi
