As you are aware, Nicotine in any form - cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, gum, or e-cigarettes is bad for wound healing and since good plastic surgery depends on having nicely healed wounds, nicotine and plastic surgery really don't go well together. I have had multiple patients use nicotine-free vaping solutions as a bridge to stop smoking before their surgery and while I always encourage them to stop all of it prior to surgery, some have confessed after the fact that they kept...
Fever of 101.3 10 days of Mommy Makeover, should I be worried?
You should go be evaluated by your surgeon
Sep 17, 2017
I don't think a fever of 101.3 a week a half after surgery would be considered completely normal, although that doesn't mean your left breast is the cause of it. While implant infections can happen, it can also be due to things like urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, drug reactions, other wound infections or even bad timing of a flu with surgery. Regardless, the best thing to do is ensure you are evaluated by your surgeon in person to make sure everything is...

Would recommend waiting until after your upcoming child
Sep 17, 2017
From a purely surgical perspective just looking at your photographs, I think you would have a fantastic result with a breast lift (no implants) and a tummy tuck with liposuction of your sides and back. Having said that, if you are truly planning to have another child in the near future, it really would be best to wait until after this upcoming pregnancy. It is true that sometimes tummy tucks and lifts hold up well during pregnancy, but the usual course is for things to look a bit worse after...
OK to Have Plastic Surgery While Menstruating?
Totally ok to be on your period
Sep 17, 2017
It is totally ok to have your surgery even though you are on your period. This is actually a surprising common occurrence with plastic surgery in my experience. It would seem that with periods roughly lasting up to a week that at most approximately 25% of patients would be in some phase of their period when they had their surgery in any given month. I am not sure if the stress of upcoming surgery changes things or some other factor, but despite many patients in my own practice...
Phlegm After Surgery?
Important to clear your lung secretions!
Sep 17, 2017
What you describe is fairly common after tummy tuck surgery - the combination of general anesthesia and the tightening of the muscles with a tummy tuck can make people not breathe with the full space of their lungs. The mucus that our lungs are always making can build up and come out in spurts. This can be compounded by the discomfort of coughing with the newly tightened muscles.
I encourage all my patients to every couple of hours take full deep breaths in through their...
Is There Harm with Taking an Antibiotic Before Surgery?
Should not be a problem
Sep 17, 2017
Obviously be sure and discuss this with your surgeon, but on face value I don't believe this would be a problem at all. My biggest concern would be that you felt your breathing was back to normal as you wouldn't want to undergo a long general anesthesia if you felt your breathing was still compromised by a bad sinus infection. The presence of the antibiotics won't matter really at all, so if a patient feels that their sinus infection has resolved and they happen to be finishing off the...
Mommy Makeover Recovery Time
It will not be unbearable!
Sep 17, 2017
Obviously recovery after Mommy Makeover surgery is very much dependent on the individual most of all. The best thing to hear is that you thought your c-sections were totally doable, this means you should do well with any abdominal surgery procedure as I'm sure you know ladies who thought a c-section was too much for them to recover from. I personally believe that additional modalities like long-acting numbing medicines for the muscles in a tummy tuck, anti-inflammatory medicines like...
I Am Allergic to Codeine. Any Suggestions for Pain Control After Mommy Makeover?
Don't worry, there are many other options available!
Sep 17, 2017
The first thing to establish is what kind of allergy you experienced with codeine. Some patients may have experienced very bad nausea and attributed this to an allergy to codeine, but to me this is much different than a patient telling me that they experience wheezing, swelling, and an inability to breathe (anaphylaxis) after taking codeine. Drugs that are very effective for discomfort after a tummy tuck like Hydrocodone (Vicodin) and Oxycodone (Percocet) can often be used without any...
How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost?
Cost of Mommy Makeover
Sep 17, 2017
A Mommy Makeover typically involves a Tummy Tuck combined with some of breast operation. The breast surgery may involve just implants (Breast Augmentation), just a lift (no implants), or sometimes both. All of this depends on your evaluation with your surgeon. I am pretty much always doing liposuction with my tummy tucks, so this would be included as well. Depending on what is involved, at our practice the total cost for a Mommy Makeover (all inclusive - surgeon, anesthesia, OR, etc)...

Too big for Tummy tuck. Any suggestions?
In my opinion, ok for a tummy tuck
Sep 25, 2016
Looking just at that picture, I think you would have a very nice outcome from a tummy tuck. By all means, I would encourage you to continue your weight loss if possible and to maintain good exercise habits, but I believe you could undergo a tummy tuck now at your current weight and have a very nice result. There is a point where a patient is too large and either it makes the operation too risky or the limits the outcome, but in your case and at your weight, I don't believe that would be the...
What factors determine tummy tuck scar placement, length and shape?
Individual Anatomy and in your case, concurrent liposuction
Sep 25, 2016
The placement needs to be individualized to each patient, but some things are common guidelines. Centrally, it should be low enough so that even when the central skin is pulled up under tension, it will still be in a low position. I consider marking the central portion of the incision under tension of crucial importance. The incision should then gently curve laterally towards the hip bones. How far it has to go depends on the lateral skin laxity and fatty tissue excess. In your case, limited...
What is the best way to get out of bed after an abdominoplasty?
Best way is with help or with a power recliner
Sep 25, 2016
Please be sure and check with your doctor for clarification as to why you can't roll onto your side. It may be that they don't want you rolling on your side in your sleep and staying like that, but that being on your side momentarily when getting out of bed is ok.

The best way from a bed is with a helper. Typically, you would be in a semi-flexed position with the head and back elevated as well as the knees. If so, you can roll/pivot onto your side so the legs are over the edge of the bed...

Hysterectomy right after a tummy tuck?
I would recommend transvaginal hysterectomy if possible
Sep 25, 2016
When patients undergo laparoscopic surgery, the abdomen is pressure inflated to expand it to create working space for the surgery. I have had patients tell me anecdotally that they feel their stomachs never looked the same after laparoscopic surgery. I assume somehow it must "restretch" out the abdomen and recreate the laxity. This would be avoided with a transvaginal hysterectomy.

However, there are times in life where two things are in conflict and we have to accept...

Is it safe for me to travel for 6 hours by air, 5 weeks after a Tummy tuck, liposuction and abdo
Yes safe for travel if you can avoid heavy lifting
Sep 25, 2016
In my opinion, it would be totally reasonable to travel 5 weeks after your surgery like you are asking. Of course, your surgeon's opinion is paramount as there may be other factors involved in your individual case.

The travel itself would be fine, but given that is has only been 5 weeks, my biggest concern would not be for the travel, but ensuring that you don't strain or lift anything too heavy (i.e. a big suitcase) as normally I would be wanting my patients to still be avoiding...
