Backside contouring
Apr 22, 2020
Hi and thank you for posting your question and photos of your areas of concern!!Contouring the back side is often the next step after addressing the front side of your body.

Unfortunately, there is not an equally effective or predictable way to provide results that restore youthful appearing eyes. I highly recommend consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has expertise with facial...

Facial skin issues
Apr 22, 2020
Hi and thank you for posting your question and photos!After review of the photos, with the small bit of information you added, the areas do not appear to be a keloid-like phenomenon. I would certainly suggest a meeting with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who frequently manages skincare to discuss possible options for improving your skin quality. There are numerous topical and oral medications as well as skin care regime modifications that may significantly improve your ...
Do you think I would be approved for excess skin removal by insurance?
Body contouring and insurance coverage
Apr 22, 2020
Hi and thanks for posting your question and photos!In my experience very few insurance carriers cover excess skin removal after weight loss and those who do have very strict criteria for coverage. You may want to start by scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who offers a full array of body contouring and discuss your concerns with them. In the meanwhile, it's important that you are at a healthy BMI and a stable desired weight for 6-8 weeks prior to having a body ...
I am interested in getting implants. Will I need a lift as well or can I get away with just impl
To lift or not to lift
Apr 21, 2020
Hi and thanks for posting your question and photos!After reviewing your photos, in my opinion you would benefit most from a breast augmentation AND breast lift. Adding the breast lift will likely allow for the best positioning of your breast tissue and areola in the most ideal position over your breast implants. I recommend meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and goals.Best wishes in health!

The VECTRA 3D imaging ...
What is the best option for me to get more breast upper pole fullness with no implant?
Working against gravity
Apr 21, 2020
Hi and thanks for your question!Adding volume in the upper breast without the use of an implant is very unpredictable as the surgeon is being asked to work against gravity. Skin and tissue elasticity play into the predictability of outcome as well. In patients who have thin crepey skin and very loose breast tissues, the tissue ability to hold shape is much decreased. Some lipo-filling with the use of fat grafting may help add volume here, but modest improvements should be expected. There is ...
Do you always need drains with anchor incision?
Breast Reduction and Drains
Nov 15, 2019
Hi and thank you so much for your question. With the use of drains, it is dependent on surgeon and the patient. In general, I do not use drains in my breast reductions; that being said I reserve the right in the operating room to use drains if I think it will provide a better outcome for the patient. This is usually in patient's where I take off more than one kilo. I would suggest meeting with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and discussing their practice patterns and your goals in a very...

Breast Reduction and Liposuction
Nov 15, 2019
Hi and thank you so much for your question. Every surgeon is different with their level of comfort in combining procedures, but liposuction and reduction is one I perform quite often together. I would suggest meeting with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and discussing your goals for your procedures in a very open and honest fashion so you can both be on the same page. Thank you for your great question and I wish you all the best. Sincerely,Dr. Rachel Streu

Breast Surgery
Nov 15, 2019
Hi and thank you so much for your question. I would suggest meeting with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and discussing your goals for your breasts. I have not examined you, but you look like a great candidate. I would be open with your plastic surgeon regarding size, and also take into account the smallest size you could be with preserving blood flow to the nipple, as safety of the surgery always comes first. Thank you so much for the great question and all the best.Sincerely,Dr. Rachel Streu
When getting tummy tuck, is it better to get down to certain weight? And once you get the proced
Tummy Tuck
Nov 15, 2019
Hi and thank you so much for your question! I like to recommend to my patient's that they be within 10 pounds of their goal weight when they scheduling their surgery. I usually recommend my patient's take between 4-6 weeks off of working out, and can be even longer to get back to core exercises, as the scar tissue from the rectus repair needs to be stronger than the sutures. I would suggest meeting with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and discussing very candidly what your expectations are...

Mommy Makeover
Oct 8, 2019
Hi Ariel224 and thank you so much for your question! I like my patient's to be at a stable weight for approximately 6 months before their mommy makeover. This will help improve your outcome because you will be at a stable weight, and ensure your nutrition and healing are optimized after the procedure. I suggest you meet with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and discuss your goals, and you can then both put a plan together that works for you; this is what I do with my patient's! All the ...
