How long after a tummy tuck can you travel by air plane back home?
air travel after tummy Tuck
Dec 26, 2022
There is no specific time that you have to wait after tummy tuck to travel but it is usually a good idea to wait a day or two because in the first 24-48 hrs is when the risk for bleeding or other serious complications is the highest. That being said most patients will not feel up to traveling very far for the first 5-7 days because that is when they are the most sore. If you are at a large airport you may have to walk significant distances when you are really sore and tired. Also, If you are…
Mini or Full Tummy Tuck?
Full Tuck or mini Tummy Tuck
Aug 22, 2022
It depends on what kind of improvement you are looking for. If you are looking for a slight improvement a mini may be all that you need to get a mild improvement. A mini tummy tuck will give some improvement in the central lower abdomen with a shorter scar but it will not improve the appearance of the belly button and will not help as much as a full tummy tuck with the bulging belly. The mini will also lower the position of the belly button by a few centimeters in most cases. A full tummy…
Am I at risk for loose skin after liposuction?
Liposuction risks
Mar 20, 2022
When you’re young and don’t have a lot of excess weight you have a lower risk of loose skin, but you have a little higher risk of contour deformities (lumps bumps or divots). You would probably want to go to someone who follows the SAFE liposuction protocols. This stands for Separation Aspiration and Fat Equalization. This three step technique helps maximize the amount of fat removed while minimizing the risk of postop lumps/bumps and divots. It is more work and takes more time but is wor…
Why do some people with poor orbital bones have tear troughs while others have eye bags?
Fat and septal compartments are the key
Feb 17, 2022
They eyelid and cheek skin attach to the skin through a variety of different attachment ligaments and septa. The face has multiple fat compartments that help shape the face and these are divided by septal layers. As the face ages many people will get deflation in the upper cheek compartments and bulging of the lower lid as the septum becomes more weak. The difference in individuals is related to a combination of how their facial fat compartments age and how their septa and ligaments sag or…
What are my options if I was told I needed a lift but I also want to avoid scars?
breast lift versus larger implant
Mar 8, 2020
Congratulations on doing a good job of getting back into shape after your children. You would get an improvement in your nipple position with a larger implant but you would still have some ptosis or droop and would not make it to ideal nipple position. The trade off for moving the implant above the muscle is an increased risk of capsular contracture. You may get a better one step result if you did a smaller implant and did the lift at the same time. If you…
How long is the usual time to take off work after a mommy makeover?
time to bounce back
Mar 3, 2020
If you are having an abdominoplasty (Tummy tuck) I usually recommend two weeks off of work, if it is just breast surgery I usually recommend 1 week off and 5-6 weeks from strenuous physical activity for both surgeries. Some patients might be able to make it back a little sooner but that is the exception more than the rule. You always want to wait until you have enough time down to recover and bounce back after surgery.

What do you recommend for procedures?
Lift and lift
Feb 10, 2020
It looks like you have done a great job with weight loss after your bariatric surgery. I would recommend that if you have a hernia, that you get it repaired by a general surgeon at the time of the lower body lift or before. A hernia repair can increase the risk of loss of your belly button if not done with the plan of an abdominoplasty in mind. I think that you would get the most benefit from a lower body lift with and a secondary augmentation mastopexy. We help a lot…
Is it true that I am too young for a pre-op blood test at 29?
Preop Testing
Dec 3, 2019
Your preop testing plan should be based on a thorough preop history and physical. Many young healthy patients do not need additional preop labs unless they have a significant medical issues or a pertinent family history of issues with anesthesia etc. In the old days they ordered labs on everyone, but the yield of valuable information ended up being so low that they no longer do that for many minor surgical cases.

Is there any hope of not having a free nipple graft for a breast reduction when the distance is
Breast reduction with long breasts
Nov 17, 2019
I would recommend that you talk with another physician who does a lot of inferior pedicle breast reductions. I have done many breasts with long pedicle lengths that did just fine and had no nipple necrosis. Some people have been trained that you always need to do nipple graft and that is not the case for many patients.

Which procedure will give the best results?
GO with the Lower body lift
Nov 17, 2019
Congratulations on getting your weight loss. Unfortunately, our skin does not always bounce back after we lose the weight and give. Luckily, there are a number of surgeries out there that can help restore things to their former glory. I would not recommend a fleur-de-lis incision unless a patient already has a large midline incision from another surgery. I think the scar is very unattractive and hard to hide. I would instead recommend either an extended tummy…

Are you able to get a lower body lift and bra line back lift at the same time?
can you combine a Lower body lift and bra line lift
Oct 23, 2019
Theoretically, you could do both procedures at one time but it would significantly increase the risk of complications, because of competing areas of tension and decreased blood supply. Therefore, I would never recommend doing both at the same time. This falls under the category of just because it can be done does not mean it is a good idea.

Go Low to get Great
Oct 23, 2019
Congratulations on your weight loss, that is a fantastic job and obviously required a lot of hard work. A lower body lift is a very powerful procedure and makes a dramatic difference in both the anterior and posterior appearance, but it is more intense and a little tougher recovery than just a tummy tuck. If you are bothered by your flat buttocks and excess back skin then a lower body lift with purse string gluteoplasty and some liposuction can be a dramatic procedure that…

How soon to do surgery after massive weight loss
Oct 23, 2019
Congratulations on your weight loss, that is a fantastic job and obviously required a lot of hard work. You want to be at or close to your goal weight when you have a lower body lift, because if you lose more weight after your lift you will get more loose skin and loose some of the benefit of the lower body lift. You also want your weight to be stable for 3 to 6 months and all of your nutrition parameters to be in line. A lower body lift is a very powerful procedure and…
