Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
which would be best for me - Implants or Sculptra?
Sculptra or Butt Implants?
Oct 1, 2021
For our patients looking for a more dramatic change, we recommend a Brazilian Butt Lift. If you do not have enough fat we recommend Butt Implants. Sculptra is usually used to fill in any imperfections in the buttocks area. Make sure you consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
I'm a nanny who lifts, sits and also take long walks (1-2 hrs a day) with child. How long sh
How long is BBL recovery
Oct 1, 2021
For the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, we recommend taking at least a week off from work. Recovery time is typically between 1-2 weeks and full recovery is 6 weeks. Please make sure to consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
With my saggy skin, would I still be able to get a BBL? Should I combine it with a Tummy Tuc
Tummy Tuck and BBL
Oct 1, 2021
Hello! Usually for our patients with loose skin around the abdomen, we do recommend a tummy tuck in addition to the Brazilian Butt Lift to get rid of that excess skin after the liposuction. Our patients have amazing results combining these two procedures.
Fat transfer to buttocks with pre-existing liquid silicone injections - Can the silicone be
fat transfer
May 14, 2021
I would just do the fat transfer if the silicone isnt giving you any problems. If you go to have it removed it will create some big scars and leave a significant deformity.
Help! What's the best way to fit butt asymmetry after significant weight loss?
2 stages
May 14, 2021
I recommend getting the body lift first with auto augmentation. a technique that will make your buttock appear more full. If you need more after that, can do either lipo or buttock implants.
Best option for buttock enlargement on petite patient?
BBL will still work
May 14, 2021
You have enough fat that you could still get a good result for BBL, however I would recommend trying to gain some weight first. By gaining 5-10 lbs even, you could get a much more dramatic result! We perform BBL on patients with your body type all the time and get great results
Can a BBL be reduced with lipo? Or would CoolSculpting or heat type be better?
targeted lipo
May 14, 2021
I think you should be examined by a plastic surgeon to see what areas are causing you the problem. Is it the lateral or posterior projection that you do not like? some targeted minimal liposuction can then be done to get you the result you want without completely sacrificing your results.
How do I get a shorter/higher butt?
Butt augmentation
May 14, 2021
Butt augmentation with fat is a great way to get your buttocks shape improved and to have it looks shorter and higher. It is important that you go to a board certified plastic surgeon to minimize complications with this procedure. Good luck!
Dents on butt - Can I fix hem without surgery?
Procedure can be done awake!
May 14, 2021
You probably would benefit best from butt augmentaiton with your own fat. If you are afraid of surgery or being put to sleep, we offer this procedure to patients awake in our office. Even a moderately small amount of fat could give you the improvement youre looking for.
Any alternatives to add volume to buttock area if I am skinny?
Gain weight or implants
May 14, 2021
You are very thin and the likelihood that you would be able to get enough fat for a dramatic BBL result is low. In patients with very low fat such as yourself we often recommend that they try to gain weight for 3-6 months in a healthy way. through weight lifting, and healthy calories. If this doesnt work, then we look to using implants.
Am I a good candidate for a lipo 360 and a BBL?
Yes, but you may need something more...
May 10, 2021
Based on your photos you would be a great candidate for liposuction to your torsoand to smooth down the area over your hips to give a more gradual transition. Depending how much liposuction is done you may require an additional skin tightening treatment at the time of your procedure in order to not have loose skin.
Can these humps on the side of my nose be removed in a non-invasive manner?
This would need surgery
Jan 12, 2021
This would likely need to be repaired with a surgery. The area of your nose that seems to be bothering you the most looks to be the part of the nose that is made of bone. I would not recommend shifting the bone without having the patient asleep for the procedure.
Why won't cosmetic surgeons give a price range prior to consult?
Plastic Surgery Fees and Buying a New Car - What is the Cost?
Jan 12, 2021
When you shop for a new car, you often will have a very different experience between a discount economy lot versus a high-end luxury brand dealership (think Bentley or Maserati). The price tag for those vehicles will be very different. If your goal is to just have a vehicle that gets you from point A to B as cheaply as possible, then you may lean more towards the economy lot. However, if you are looking for the safest, most reliable vehicle with all the extra features and the highest...
I was told my nose can not be deprojected. Can anyone tell me reason for this?
You can achieve the look you are going for
Jan 3, 2021
Your nose can be deprojected and your tip can be refined as shown in the photo. It is important that you see a specialist who does nasal reshaping surgery on a routine basis and is a board certified plastic surgeon. These results can be achieved.
What can I do about my nose? Am I going to need a nose job? Will my nose be able to be resto
may be a number of things, but the answer is the same - wait.
Jan 3, 2021
You may need a procedure to correct this, however the nose holds swelling for a very long time. I would recommend waiting at least 6 months before even considering stepping into a plastic surgeons office. Most of the time, these issues will correct themselves with time as the swelling improves. Even if this is something that needs to be fixed surgically, most surgeons will request you wait 6 months from the time of the injury just for the sake of bringing the swelling down to make the...
