Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Tip rhinoplasty. Surgical difficulty level?
Difficult, yes; Complex, yes; many options
Feb 16, 2018
From your photos it is really impossible to realistically answer your questions without an in person exam and consultation. It appears you have an over-projecting tip and possibly low dorsum (backbone) which makes the tip look larger. Most complex tip operations can still be done under a mild sedation in an in-office surgical suite, with or without some changes to the dorsum, which could be augmented with fillers. Any reputable plastic surgeon will tell...
Finished 6 microneedle treatments for acne scarring -- should I wait some time before I do more?
Microneedling plus fat grafting
Nov 13, 2017
Acne scars are not all the same and the scarring can extend all the way into the subnormal fat layer depending on the intensity of the infection. Superficial treatments like fractional lasers and micro needling cannot rebuild tissue deeper than 1-2 mm. There are only one or two treatments in my experience of 25 years that can truly regenerate dermal collagen and subdermal volume in one treatment and that is fat grafting under the area of the scars....
Do I have tuberous breasts?
Asymmetry
Oct 28, 2017
Breasts are rarely perfectly matched. Like snowflakes, no two are alike - sisters, not twins. But when there is very significant asymmetry as in your case you need to explore all options with your experienced and board-certified surgeon. Your photos are not adequate to give you ideal advice - you need to seek multiple consultations and opinions, as there are multiple solutions that are possible and probably necessary to achieve a close match. These would include...
Could I be a candidate for an increase from a size A to a small C using breast fat grafting? (Ph
Multiple options
Oct 28, 2017
Yes, fat grafting can often make a substantial volume increase in breast size but more importantly be very helpful in improving the overall shape and projection in a small breast. I have been encouraging patients to consider a combination small implant and fat grafting to achieve both the desired volume and a much better shape that one or the other alone can't achieve. Since there is a fairly large variation in the success of fat grafting and the maximum amount of fat that should...
Better pics. Can I get circumareola lift?
Proportion
Oct 28, 2017
From your photos it appears that your implants are too wide at the base for your chest dimensions and your nipple diameter should have been addressed at the initial breast procedure as it is clear from your before photos that they were already somewhat large and then only enlarge further with such large implants. I am personally not a great fan of the circumareolar reduction as it has a high rate of re-stretching to the original size over time and would not be appropriate if you...
Breast lift, no implants on small breasts. What is the best option for me?
Pseudo-ptosis
Oct 28, 2017
Barbara
You have a fairly typical female breast shape that is referred to as pseudo-ptosis, which is Plastic Surgeon-speak for simply an "under inflated" breast volume relative to the skin "envelope". It is often the case as well that the only bras that fit are much larger sizes than your actual breast volume due to the shape and sagging of the breast. You have multiple options open to you that include minimal lift procedures such as the "lollipop" areolar lift, a...
Am I too old for arm lift, facelift, neck and brow lift?
Safety first
Sep 18, 2017
Combining procedures up to eight hours of general anesthesia time is generally considered an acceptable risk for any healthy patients that are classified according to anesthesiologists as class I. You should have a full medical clearance prior to your surgery assessing your risk factors. Typically facelifts can last for up to six hours and a brachioplasty two or three hours unless a surgical assistant can help to close the opposite side. It really depends on multiple...
What is required for a breast augmentation and tummy tuck after extreme weightloss ect.? (photos
Obtain more than one opinion
Sep 18, 2017
After a significant weight loss such as yours, even with your photos, you need to sit down with at least two or three board-certified plastic surgeons who have years of experience doing these procedures as there are numerous options, combinations and sequences that all have to take into account your wishes, anatomical issues such as skin quality and skin excess, as well as your schedule and pocketbook. It is one of the more complex surgical plans that face patient and plastic surgeons and...
Do I need a facelift or peel?
It's all about balance and proportion
Jul 19, 2017
It's somewhat difficult to tell from your photos but it appears you have a significant imbalance between your facial soft tissues (primarily fat), the bone structure and the skin tension. My first impression is you do NOT need more surgery! It also appears you have had perhaps too much filler in the midface. It would be your best plan of action to have multiple in-depth consultations with board certified plastic surgeons that specialize in revising and correcting...
Could 750cc implants fit my body frame? Too large?
Size does matter - to you health
Jul 19, 2017
The short answer is YES that is too large for a woman of your height and weight, not to mention it would be a near impossibility to safely perform the procedure without a large scar and an inordinate amount of discomfort and recovery. Then there is the long term consequences of having implants that weigh just under two pounds apiece!. I would suggest beginning with implants (again for your size) in the 350-450cc range for a much more natural and practical size. Ultimately...
Is it safe to have dental work before lipo/tummy tuck?
No right answer but be cautious
Jul 19, 2017
Dental procedures and major open surgery should not be mixed in close proximity. It is well known that dental work releases a large burden of bacteria into the blood stream that could possibly infect any implants or spaces incleded in a surgical procedure. It would be best to separate them by at least a month, if all goes well. Best of luck.
Mommy makeover discount needed
Realistic expectations
Jul 8, 2017
We would all like to drive a Tesla too! You have a very extensive wish list that most qualified, board certified surgeons would not be willing to perform for that price, much less the cost of OR, anesthesia, and overnight recovery fees. It would of course depend on a face to face consultation with a surgeon very experienced in these procedures.
I am a 67 yr old with multiple surgical scars. Is it possible for me to have a tummy tuck?
Multiple scars is not a deal breaker
Jul 8, 2017
I agree with the other surgeons who answered "maybe". There is a real risk in the healing of any tummy tuck even if there has not been prior surgery. This is due to the alteration of the normal blood flow in the abdominal tissue. It is very important you are seen by a very experienced, board certified plastic surgeon who has seen complications from loss of circulation and even tissue loss to give you a realistic opinion of your best options. I hope you have...
How can I get rid of armpit fat?
"Armpit" fat or pectoral fold?
Jun 17, 2017
It is a common and complex issue seeing a fold of skin and fat exposed over the pectoral muscle fold. It is actually a natural and normal anatomic feature, but is felt by many women to look odd or unattractive. It should be accurately assessed by an experienced plastic surgeon who has performed many corrective procedures in this area. Simple liposuction will not adequately address the skin laxity/excess that may be present. I agree that Ultrasonic(Vaser)...
Looking for a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that does fat transfer to the face with excellent
Fat transfer to the face
May 27, 2017
I have recommended and performed fat transfer or "grafting" to the face as a primary procedure and alternative to facelifts for over 15 years, and I do 95% of my procedures awake under local sedation in the office. The procedure can be done with other simple enhancement procedures such as blepharoplasty, lip lift, lateral brow lift, laser resurfacing, and RF skin tightening. Even in the most skilled and experienced hands surgeons (as well as...
