Answer Snippet
Best practices post implant removal?
to replace or not to replace
Feb 15, 2019
It can be a very tough decision to remove implants, but I often encourage patients to go without and move forward with revision if needed at a later date. Often, the patients are pleasantly surprised with there post implant results. Good luck.
Do i get a Full or mini tummy tuck?
mini or full abdominoplasty
Feb 12, 2019
The key to deciding between these options lies in the degree of skin laxity and the fullness of the upper abdomen. In my practice, the mini or infra-umbilical abdominoplasty best treats isolated fatty excess and skin laxity in the lower abdomen. If these issues extend to the umbilicus and beyond, a full abdominoplasty with or without liposuction is a much better option. I strongly encourage weight loss prior to any body contouring as it allows for fewer scars and less risk...
I thought the incisions should be in the natural crease?
unusual incisions
Feb 12, 2019
As a plastic surgeon, creation of scars within a crease or natural shadows is always a major concern in planning incisions. I did have a colleague who was an ophthalmologist who was quite skilled at blepharoplasty who performed a revision on one of his own patients using the incisions similar to those pictured and I was quite surprised how beautifully the patient healed. Eyelid skin is very forgiving, and often heals with minimal scarring. In time, you should see nice...
Why do rhinoplasty surgeons insist on a dorsal hump reduction?
dorsal hump reduction necessity
Feb 12, 2019
If the nose is to be de-projected, typically the entire nose will be reduced. If significant de-projection is required and the dorsum is not reduced, it may create a relative disharmony of the profile, with the de-projected tip accentuating a non-operated dorsum. This would place the patient at high risk for dissatisfaction with the result if correction of one problem creates a relative increase in the hump on profile.
Does this spot at my T junction post breast reduction look ok?
delayed healing in reduction
Feb 12, 2019
Your concern is very common in inverted T reductions. The intersection of the incisions tends to be not only a point of higher tension, but also a distal point of the skin with the least vascularity. These issues can combine to create a delay in healing, but it usually heals within a few weeks with simple dressings like dry gauze or a band-aid.
Do I need to stop Accutane before having breast augmentation surgery?
accutane and elective surgery
Feb 12, 2019
Accutane may negatively effect your healing and scarring and should be stopped 3-6 months prior to any elective procedure in order to minimize risks and optimize results.
3 weeks post BA and an implant feels loose. Do I still have time to fix this?
"loose" breast implants
Feb 5, 2019
At 3 weeks post op, I would strongly urge patience in evaluating any result. You will go through many changes as your results mature. Typically as the initial swelling and tightness resolves, movement sometimes signals the start of a natural result. Increased pain and swelling with movement would necessitate a formal eval in person with your operating surgeon. Minimizing activity and bra support are critical to minimize malposition through the...
What areas of the nose are resected when “cephalic trim” is performed?
cephalic trim
Feb 5, 2019
A cephalic trim is a technique used to refine the tip of the nose. Cephalic refers to the upper portion of the lower lateral cartilages, and by resecting that upper portion, the tip of the nose can be lifted and narrowed. One must by careful to leave some of the lower lateral cartilages intact, because too much resection can lead to airway problems and a pinched tip.
