Will the pain be tolerable after a tummy tuck?

How much pain???
Nov 13, 2023

Dear Curious468!
Tummy tucks are generally more painful than breast surgery, but everyone’s pain tolerance is different. Expect a few days of pain medication, but even if it does not hurt, the important thing is to take adequate time to recover regardless. We tell our patients to expect to need a full two weeks for serious recovery and then still take it easy the third week. After that, resuming easy activities carefully is generally permitted. Follow your surgeon’s instructions on after…

Need hiatal hernia surgery – does my surgeon need to know I’ve had a tummy tuck?

sharing information
Nov 13, 2023

Hello Sammi44!
It is important to be honest with your doctor. We have patients omit or forget to share information from us occasionally and it is not helpful to us as providers or to you as a patient. Your provider should keep your health informaiton confidential.

Am I a good candidate for a mommy makeover? What is my ideal weight?

Good job!!!
Nov 13, 2023

Hello Sincere516755!It appears, you are definitely a candidate for a MM, if you want one! You have already done an excellent job achieving a healthier weight and it appears you have been working out–that is fantastic. You are young and well on your way to your goal of 140-150, and that seems to be reasonable and achievable. At our office, we suggest scheduling your consultation when you are at or close to your goal weight and we chat with you ahead about what a good goal weight is. This is…

Would subcision, or a series of chemical peels or microneedling treatments help?

Ellacor
Nov 13, 2023

Hello Lucy36. We have been using a relatively new modality to treat scars and aging called Ellacor. We have gotten some fabulous results. I would suggest a consultation with a plastic and reconstructive surgeon in your area that offers this to obtain to see if this might be an option for you.

Miss having larger breasts?
Nov 7, 2023

Hello Madisonvvvl,
Most often our patients are thrilled with their reductions, but of course there are occasionally patients that wish they were a little larger or smaller. If you want to have larger breasts, start from scratch as anyone looking for a breast augmentation should, and find a surgeon that will work with you to find an implant size you are really happy with and that compliments your figure. There are many options to choose from and you and your surgeon should work together to…

Broad shoulders – What type of breast implants would make me appear slimmer?

Slimming look
Nov 7, 2023

Hello Kimmiexnguyen!We spend a lot of time with our patients trying on different implants sizes so that you can see how they make your body appear. During this process, patients finds something that, in their opinion, makes them look fantastic and how they always wished they looked. Sometimes with a taller, broader figure, a larger implant can balance the rest of the figure and make chest/waist/hips look proportional and therefore slimmer. Different profiles can help with this also. Don’t be…

Question about getting breast implants at 21?

21 or 22?
Nov 7, 2023

All insurance plans are different and your insurance will likely change between now and when you have an issue with your implants. But to be on the safe side, you should ask your current insurance company about coverage of cosmetic surgery issues. If you have any questions about whether implants are right for you, you might choose to wait a year to make sure you still want them. Make sure your doctor reviews all potential risks and that you have given a lot of thought to your desired breast…

Do I really need a tummy tuck or just lipo?

wait which is it……
Oct 30, 2020

Hi schwit84!
Lots of times, patients such as yourself can have multiple options and from looking at photos alone, I think you fall into this category. There are things that a good physical exam can tell, such as how loose your skin is among other things. You can probably get a pretty good result with either, but the bigger question is what are YOUR expectations. With liposuction, the skin will not get as tight but just the fatty tissue that you pinch. It also will not tighten any loose…

What is wrong with my nose as my left nostril is still numb and stuffy 2-years post-op?

stuffy breather
Oct 30, 2020

Hi Terrific673121!
There might be a lot going on here. Do you have allergies? Did you have septal or sinus surgery? The steroids usually cause decrease of inflammation of the lining of the nose that can swell up and block the airflow in your nose. If you have allergies, surgery will not correct this aspect, only things that are physically blocking the flow of air through your nose. Sounds like you need to go back to your doctor and see what aspect of things are affecting your breathing….

How can I get some amount of fat back after buccal fat removal as too much was removed?

replacing your cheek fat
Oct 30, 2020

Hi Berlin333!
2.5 months is still very early and I would recommend waiting several months before consideration of any revision as things will still be changing significantly. If you feel there is not enough volume then you may want to consider placement of a temporary filler to see if you like the look of that before any permanent type of procedure. If it helps give the look you want then microfat grafting in my experience is very good at correcting issues such as this.

I am having a MACS facelift with a platysma plasty with an opera lower Bleph, what type of anesth

sleepy sedation vs general anesthesia
Oct 30, 2020

3 hours is not too long for sedation. I have done both and found patients very comfortable in either situation. It is extremely important to discuss with your surgeon what you can expect and the pros and cons of each. Lots of the negative side effects of general anesthesia are much better with modern anesthetic techniques. Hope this answers your question and good luck!

Do I have tuberous breasts? Or are they normal? Advice?

Tuberous Breasts
Oct 30, 2020

Hi swimmmer!
Sometimes pictures can be a little deceptive and better to see a patient in person and I think you may be one of these people. From what I can see, your breast does not look especially tuberous BUT your crease under your breast may be a bit high. With breast augmentations, surgeons need to consider whether it is worth adjusting this to improve breast shape. Again an in person consultation would be really helpful in your particular situation. Best of luck!

I tubular breast: What procedures can be done to fix them? Should I see a surgeon who specializes

fix the tubular breast
Oct 30, 2020

Hi Plasthiccc!
Looks like you do have tubular breasts and some asymmetry. It looks a little worse on the left and the left breast is smaller. Most plastic surgeons will have experience with correction of tubular breasts which involve placement of an implant, at least partially on top of the muscle and techniques to relax the tighter portions of your breast at the bottom and potential adjustment of breast crease to help improve your breast shape. Good luck to you!

Is 500cc too much for me as I don’t want to look overly done?

Size is in da eyes of da beholder
Oct 30, 2020

Hi Easygoing838255!
What is considered an “appropriate size implant” is a very very subjective question. What is considered large to one patient very often is small to another. Clothing that you wear will also makes a big difference how noticeable it is. I find that to make a distinguishable difference for most people, they need to go up or down 20% to be somewhat noticeable. Remember 15 cc is only about 1 tablespoon. What ever size you choose, try not to second guess yourself. There are…

Scopolamine patch / blurred vision before breast augmentation

Scopolamine Patch
Oct 30, 2020

Hi HappyA123 and thanks for the question.
Did you talk with your surgeon? Definitely let them know. Sometimes if you remove the patch and get the drug on your finger and touch your eye, it will cause enlargement of your pupil which can cause blurriness. Usually it should go down after several days, but again I would let your surgeon know. Best of luck!
