Mommy makeover, breast augmentation, or tummy tuck?
Jul 1, 2018

Thanks for sharing you pic. It is easy to say that you’re a good candidate for a tummy tuck based upon the photo. I can’t say anything about your breasts since they are not seen in the pic. Also, sometimes some liposuction is recommended for the best result when doing a tummy tuck. With more pics I might be able to give you better advice.You’re certainly welcome to come to Miami if that’s your preference for surgery. I would be happy to see you in the office. You might also find lots of qu…

What is the best double chin removal treatment I could have? Should I have a chin implant put on? (

Improving a weak chin: chin implant or not?
Jul 1, 2018

Thanks for sharing your pic. Its hard to tell from the photo you posted if you would benefit from a chin implant. There are LOTS of things that can be done to help improve the balance of the face. Since you feel your lips are thin the easiest first step could be some temporary fillers. And there are many, many options for the neck like liposuction to remove any excess fat or skin tightening procedures that don’t involve surgery at all. The best thing to do would be to have a consultation…

Recommend eyelid surgery?

No need for eyelid surgery
Jul 1, 2018

Thanks for sharing your pic. You have a beautiful shape to your eyes. There is no excess skin in your upper lids. Your lower lids are firm and smooth. You should definitely NOT think about having any eyelid surgery. There’s a saying in plastic surgery that “the enemy of good is better”. You would probably end up looking worse if you tried to make your already beautiful eyes better. I hope this info helps! If you are interested in plastic surgery you should check out my Instagram pages. You c…

Touching up your breasts with a breast lift
Jul 1, 2018

Thanks for sharing your pic. There are some good things and some bad things about your results. It looks like you had a tough time healing some areas around your nipples (areolae). There are some spots of darker pigmentation and the shape is not ideal. The good news is that it looks like your other scars healed very well, so that makes it more likely that you’ll heal well the second time around. You can definitely do a breast lift and NOT have to have implants. Your breast shape can be made …

Would lipo360, J plasma (skin tightening), and breast reduction give me a better look?

Lipo for now…
Jun 16, 2018

Thanks for sharing your pics. As a doctor who offers J-Plasma (now called Renuvion) I can give you my best advice. I understand that you don’t want to have a tummy tuck at this time. That’s fine, but you need to know that choosing not to have a tummy tuck will limit your results. Renuvion (J-Plasma) will never be the same as a tummy tuck. If that were the case we would never do tummy tucks. Still, you can expect a nice improvement in your body contour with lipo. I would recommend Renuvion …

How long to wait for Abdominal workout after a tummy tuck?

Working out after surgery
May 26, 2017

Every doctor has a guideline for his/her patients. You should definitely speak with your surgeon for recommendations. As a general rule I recommend at least 4 weeks and more like 6-8 weeks for an abdominal workout after a tummy tuck. I hope this helps!You can find more good information in my Instagram profiles @drrubinstein and @plasticsurgerytruthsAnd you can follow me in Snapchat @drrubinstein

Opinion for flat tummy: what’s the best option for me, a tummy tuck or liposuction?

Tummy tuck or Lipo? Depends upon how you’re hangin…
May 26, 2017

The answer totally depends upon the amount of excess skin and fat you have. Its hard to tell from your photos which procedure ( or a combo of both) would be best for you. If your skin is really loose or if there’s hanging excess skin you will need to remove it to have the best result. If you’ve got excess fat than liposuction can improve things. In order to give you the best advice I would need to examine you since your photos aren’t enough to give you the best advice. I’d recommend having …

What implant size and shape should I get? Do not want my boobs to look fake.

Choosing the best implant size
Mar 8, 2017

There are lots of implant sizes and shapes to help us achieve nearly any result. I never choose implants before surgery. Every breast implant procedure that I do is completely customized during surgery. Choosing the best implant starts with understanding your goals. Every patent has an idea of exactly how they would like to look naked. I always make it a priority to understand that goal. In fact, I have a whole process that we use to ensure that patients get what they are looking for in siz…

Breast revision implant exchange and lift. Should I be concerned at this stage on the shape of my b

Unusual shape after a breast revision
Mar 8, 2017

The shape of your breasts is not what is usually seen after an implant exchange and revision lift. It’s possible that you have some muscle spasm, or another complicating issue that is causing this appearance. I think you are right to be concerned. I would recommend staying in close touch with your surgeon and having regular follow up visits. He or she can help guide you through the healing process. Things do change quite a bit as the healing progresses. I hope this helps! You can find more t…

Fibroadenoma and breast implants, any concerns?

Fibroadenoma and breast augmentation
Mar 8, 2017

Fibroadenoma is a very common and not dangerous growth in a breast. Lots of women have them and they pose no health risk and no risk for a breast augmentation procedure. Both fibroadenoma and fibrocycstic breasts are very common and should not pose any additional risk with breast augmentation surgery. Generally speaking, regardless of having a fibroadenoma you should have no issues if you want to have a breast augmentation. Of course, some surgeons may have a different opinion. Medically sp…

Can I fix my breasts with breast implants? Do I need a lift? Why surgeons refuse to to operate me?

Breast augmentation with or without a lift
Mar 8, 2017

Thanks for sharing your question on Realself. I’m not sure why you’re having a hard time finding a surgeon to help you. From the look of your pics it seems like you have fairly large nicely shaped breasts. There does seem to be a little sagging but not much. You definitely do not have severe ptosis. Its hard to say from the photos if you would have better results with a lift, but that would be easy to tell you in a live consultation. Since you’re in Miami you’re welcome to come for a free …

Please help!! I am ready to replace them!

Updating breast implants from years ago
Feb 28, 2017

As the years go buy gravity will affect the way your implants look. I have found that to be a little more the case with implants over the muscle (sub glandular). Having an implant exchange can fix the situation and refresh your look. Changing the pocket to below the muscle can be helpful in lessening the appearance of rippling and often giving a softer more natural breast appearance. It can be a little tricky depending upon how the remaining breast tissue drapes over the new pocket. If you…

Is this retained areola normal?

Remaining areolar skin after a breast lift
Feb 28, 2017

Ideally, the best aesthetic result is achieved when you remove all areolar skin that is not going to be part of the actual areola after surgery. In some cases either for shape or tension control some areolar skin can be left behind. In my experience that is pretty rare, though possible. You can always seek another opinion to see if a revision would be helpful. The good news is that a revision is usually a much easier procedure than the original operation. I’m confident the excess areolar…

Can I have a Tummy Tuck with a herniated disc?

Having a tummy tuck when you have back problems
Feb 28, 2017

Over the years I have operated upon many patients that have back issues. Some cases require special care to be certain that the patient is comfortable for the procedure. Most patients are fine without any changes to our usual protocol for care. In fact, I have found that many patients with lower back problems actually feel better and often experience less discomfort after a tummy tuck due to improved core muscle support. Part of a tummy tuck realigns the abdominal muscles which can make the …

Bumpy skin after liposuction to the stomach and flanks!

Fixing bumpy skin after lipo
Feb 28, 2017

Liposuction can be a great procedure to slim down problem areas, but there is such a thing as “too much”. It’s important to leave a natural layer of fat behind to maintain normal anatomy. Sometimes doctors get a little too aggressive with the amount of fat being removed and leave some irregularities. This can also happen from suctioning fat to superficially (close to the skin). Besides uneven removal of fat there can also be problems caused by internal scarring (sometimes called fibrosis)…
