Doctor's answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Is it unusual to have minimal swelling and only in lower ab for first 4 weeks then more and more eve
worsening swelling
Jun 13, 2019
Worsening swelling after 6 weeks of surgery is not typical after drainless tummy tuck and warrants and evaluation and management. Best, Dr. Ali Instagram: @draliqureshi
Is there a difference in the look/esthetic of a drainless tummy tuck versus one with drains?
difference in looks
Jun 13, 2019
In my opinion the answer is yes. In drainless tummy tucks, we use progressive tension sutures that not only close down the space and make putting a drain unnecessary but also the sutures help define the midline and the abs because of where we put the stitches. Often more skin can be removed because the skin is being advanced more as well. Best, Dr. Ali Instagram: @draliqureshi
What should I do about this hyperpigmentation after Halo laser?
swelling and pigment issues
Jun 13, 2019
Swelling after Halo is normal and some pigment changes are well. We often use combination therapy of hydroquinone, a retinoid and a steroid for 2 weeks before treatment and will often resume after a week as long as there are no other issues. Wearing sunscreen and protecting the skin from cannot be stressed enough. This will help prevent any worsening of pigment issues. Best, Dr. Ali Instagram: @draliqureshi
Is it ok for me to have Halo laser treatment on my face with metal braces in my mouth?
halo and braces
Jun 13, 2019
Braces should not interfere with your ability to have the Halo treatment. Best, Dr. Ali Instagram: @draliqureshi
Is Halo a good option to treat PIH that was caused by a Fractional laser treatment?
treating PIH
Jun 13, 2019
Treating PIH usually also involves topical therapies with a bleaching agent like hydroquinone. This can be used in combination with a retinoid and steroid under the medical care of a professional. Other adjuvant therapies including BBL can help. Best, Dr. Ali Instagram: @draliqureshi
I had implants in 1970 and still have them today. Should they be removed?
implant removal
Jun 13, 2019
There is no right or wrong answer to this question. Just like women have the right to choose to have implants placed, they have the right to have them removed. If they are bothersome to you, they can be removed. The most common reason for breast implant removal remains women wanting to be a smaller size. Best, Dr. Ali Instagram: @draliqureshi
Do you advise getting an explant and lift at the same time?
saline deflation
Jun 13, 2019
If someone has saline implants and wants them out, they can be deflated before surgery. Waiting 2-4 weeks allow the skin to retract and then a better assessment can be made if a lift is needed, how much of a lift and what kind of scars can be expected. Best, Dr. Ali Instagram: @draliqureshi
Animation Deformity. Will removing my implants fix this?
animation deformity
Jun 13, 2019
Animation deformity can be fixed with placing the muscle back down and the implants above the muscle. This can be camouflaged with fat grafting as a composite breast augmentation. Sometimes a more highly cohesive implant can reduce rippling and/or the use of an aceullar dermal matrix like Alloderm. Best, Dr. Ali Instagram: @draliqureshi
I am scheduled to have my implants removed. Is a capsulectomy necessary ?
total capsulectomy
Jun 13, 2019
We are learning more and more about Breast Implant Illness and many women in our practice have the implants removed and the capsule removed and feel better. There are cases of women having their implants removed with a partial or minimal capsulectomy who also have relief of symptoms. It is impossible to predict and the most important thing is finding a surgeon who listens and understands your concerns. Best, Dr. Ali Instagram: @draliqureshi
I'm looking to have my breast implants removed with a lipoaugmentation. Is this possible?
removal and fat grafting
Jun 13, 2019
We commonly will remove the entire capsule, as a total capsulectomy and then fat graft the breast at the same time. A lift can also be performed at the same time. Most cases require more than one round of fat grafting because there is only so much that can be placed in one round without increasing the risk for fat necrosis and other complications. Best, Dr. Ali Instagram: @draliqureshi
Window shading correction after explant?
Animation deformity
Jun 13, 2019
This sounds like animation deformity from having the implants put under the muscle, which can be done from an armpit incision. Usually the implant needs to be removed and replaced above the muscle or the muscle needs to be released more. It often requires an incision under the fold to access the pocket for this type of revision procedure. Best, Dr. Ali Instagram: @draliqureshi
I had an explant but left the capsule in. 26 years of implant so the capsule is probably well formed
Capsules
Jun 13, 2019
Capsule can form around an implant anywhere in the body like the breast, knee or chin. Once a capsule forms, it doesnt just disappear because its your body's own reaction to a foreign object. Capsules can be hard or painful and can be removed. Sometimes the rubbing of once capsular surface on another can lead to fluid accumulation known as a seroma and may require drainage. Best, Dr. Ali Instagram: @draliqureshi
Do Breast Implants always need to be removed if there are complications?
infection
Jun 13, 2019
Superficial infections or cellulitis can often be treated with oral antibiotics as an outpatient. If there is pus or purulent drainage coming from the implant pocket, this means the bacteria may be around the implant. Because the implant does not have blood supply for antibiotics to get there, implants can become "seeded" with bacteria and the infection can persist, become chronic or lead to capsular contracture. Hope this helps. Best, Dr. Ali Instagram: @draliqureshi
When one is affected with PAH post CoolSculpting, is it obvious?
PAH
Jun 13, 2019
PAH is w known complication of Coolsculpting, is more common in men and Latinos and most common after a second round of treatment to the same area. PAH can present different ways and something I am familiar with from training. Patients have increased focal fat in the area of treatment without weight gain but physical examination to confirm the diagnosis are necessary. There are ways to treat this but only an exam can confirm a diagnosis of PAH. Hope this helps....
Sinus infection 14 weeks post Rhino. Can I hurt my nose by blowing too hard?
sinus infection
Jun 5, 2019
Sorry this is happening and can be frustrating to deal with. Some surgeons will recommend nasal irrigation and you can get the kits for this at a drug store. Sleeping with a humidifier can also actually help. Blowing the nose too hard can create a lot of pressure inside the nose and turbulent air flow and can sometimes cause issues depending on the kind of surgery you had. Hope this info helps. Best, Dr. Ali
