Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
What happen to the cheek fat pads with aging? Do they drop/sag? is it just volume loss? Both?
Cheek fat pads with aging
Apr 27, 2020
Sagging of the cheek fat pads is a natural process of aging. This also occurs with the jowls and neck. With aging, there can also be loss of facial fat, thinning of the skin and loss of dermal elastin. No one type of rejuvenation fits all cases.
Deep-plane (sub-SMAS) facelifting does reposition the cheek fat pads to a higher position. Sometimes fat grafting with small amounts (2-3 cc/cheek) of fat into the cheek areas can give a nice added benefit,…
What is the best procedure to lift my breasts and make my nipples smaller? Can I do it without impl
Ideal candidate for full breast lift
Apr 27, 2020
You have heavy, droopy breasts that in order to achieve a durable result, requires a full lift. You have plenty of volume and certainly do not need implants. Your breast volume has, however, fallen below the inframammary folds. In my experience, the most predictable and lasting result requires the full, anchor-type incision which allows for a substantial removal of the excess skin and complete repositioning of the breast mound back up on the chest wall. This also…
Am I a good candidate for Lipo?
“Looking for more natural and smaller abdominal contour.”
Apr 27, 2020
Our consultations begin with your overall medical assessment, lifestyle and expectations. I’ll bet that your BMI (body mass index) is too high. For a young and healthy 24 year old, often plastic surgery is not the first alternative.
Often through lifestyle changes, dietary management and some coaching on renewed efforts at exercise, remarkable improvement can occur. Simple changes of a few things can sometimes result in remarkably positive improvements…
Can A Doctor See If Nose Cartilage is FRACTURED Upon Inspection?
Right-sided nasal airway obstruction
Mar 9, 2020
A very important start is to obtain a good history from you. Did you experience nasal trauma? Is this chronic? Do you have allergies? Have you had previous nasal surgery?
Assuming this is trauma related, it is possible that something “is fractured off the bone.” A good history and a thorough nasal examination, both internal and external, can go a long ways towards making a correct diagnosis and treatment plan. After examination by a rhinoplasty expert,…
Do I need a TT revision, mons pubis lift or both? Will sculpsure give me the results I want? (photo
Possible Revision Abdominoplasty
Mar 9, 2020
Results in plastic surgery can be variable and unpredictable. Sometimes it is not possible to achieve the best possible result with one surgery. Not having your preoperative photographs available for viewing makes this answer more difficult.
I do, however, note that you have potential for improvement. Your upper abdomen has an excellent contour. Your infraumbilical (below the belly button) plication sutures may have loosened or stretched….
Liposuction of the flanks without touching the abdomen?
Isolated liposuction of the flanks
Aug 6, 2019
Patients such as yourself who are in good physical condition and not overweight with limited areas of undesired fullness or prominence (such as the flank areas) often have good results.
It is important to consult with your plastic surgeon regarding realistic expectations to make sure that the improvement that you are looking for is obtainable. One good way of doing this is to look at before and after photos of patients with your body type who have had liposuction of your…
Do I need to wait 3 months? How long should I wait to see actual results. Anyone else deal with pat
Residual puffiness after liposuction
Aug 6, 2019
We generally recommend waiting 6 months before considering additional or touch-up liposuction in the same area. It is well-known that it may take at least 6 months or more to see the final result. Areas that are still puffy now will probably improve further.
Wound healing goes through different phases. During the early phase of healing (fibroblastic phase) collagen (scar-like) material is being deposited into the soft tissues. It may be that your first…
Is implant possible for delayed breast reconstruction post Radiotherapy?
Implant-based reconstruction after chest wall irradiation
Apr 27, 2019
Implant-based breast reconstruction after radiation therapy to that area of the chest wall is definitely a higher risk procedure compared to using your own tissue. In addition, if you are lucky to have an implant-based reconstruction succeed, then long-term quality of the reconstruction tends to deteriorate over time including hardening and displacement of the implant and thinning of the overlying skin. I would suggest that you ask your plastic surgeon about a possible…
How common is reconstruction failure among young high-risk women (30s) choosing preventative mastec
Risk of Reconstruction Failure
Apr 27, 2019
Reconstruction following prophylactic mastectomy is always a risk, and guarantees can never be made. However, considering your youth and health, a reasonable guess would be that your overall chance of reconstructive failure of any type is less than 5%. There are many details that go into estimating your risk. Higher body weight, higher body mass index (>32), large pendulous breasts and a history of multiple previous open biopsies are some of the factors…
Breast Implant Removal Recovery
Removal of 3 year-old silicone breast implants
Mar 4, 2019
There is no “one” answer to this question, as a number of variables need to be considered. You will need to further consult with your plastic surgeon for the final plan. Simple removal of unruptured, 3-year-old silicone prostheses may be a good option.
Removal of breast prostheses is indeed usually not a painful recovery at all. We usually recommend restrictions as regards to athletic or strenuous activities for a minimum of 6 weeks. Breast compression with a…
How long do you keep surgical tape on scars after surgery? How does this benefit the scars?
“Surgical Tape” After Surgery
Mar 4, 2019
There are many different types of “surgical tape.” Steri-strips are thin strips of reinforced paper tape that are glued on over the incision to reinforce the incision. These are useful for a few days after surgery. There is usually drainage of small amounts of blood that oozes underneath the tape. This limits the longevity of the tape, as the strips usually peel off spontaneously after a few days. When this happens, we generally recommend a topical antibiotic…
Blepharoplasty Complications
Blepharoplasty Complications
Feb 25, 2019
The most common complication after upper blepharoplasty is dryness and difficulty with eyelid closure. Expert preoperative evaluation is required to determine if you are a candidate for surgery, and if so, exactly the type of surgery best for you, whether you are undergoing upper or lower blepharoplasty or both. Patients with pre-existing dryness requiring treatment with moisturizing eye drops or lubricants are at higher risk. The same is true for patients with…
What is the difference in technique between SMAS and a Deep Plane facelift? Is the cost the same? C
SMAS v Deep Plane Facelifts
Feb 25, 2019
The SMAS (superficial musculo-aponeurotic system) is an anatomic description of the connective tissue surrounding your facial muscles. Deep Plane refers to a technique described by Dr. Hamra where dissection is done underneath this structure, but the overlying skin is not separated from the SMAS. This is a useful technique where facial contour is the main goal (correction of jowls and neck contour), but the overlying skin is of good quality (not severely sun-damaged or wrinkled)….
Best Solution for Redundant Lax Neck Skin After SMAS Lift?
Redundant Neck Skin Laxity
Feb 25, 2019
This commonly occurs. Before making any further decisions for treatment, consult your plastic surgeon about the possible presence of platysmal bands. The platysma muscle is a thin muscle underlying the skin of your neck. If you have separation of this muscle in the midline, it can be seen as a fold (or more commonly two folds). Suturing of this muscle may be required to obtain a more long-lasting result (platysmaplasty). More skin tightening may be…
Would you recommend an SMAS facelift for 50-year-old with malar edema?
SMAS Facelift with Malar Edema
Feb 25, 2019
Malar edema is unlikely to be corrected with a SMAS facelift, or skin facelift for that matter. SMAS facelifting is most powerful for correcting jowls (sometimes with adjunctive liposuction) and re-creating angularity of the neck (neither of which you say you have).
Malar edema can sometimes be exacerbated (or sometimes even caused by) allergies. Please check with your doctor to assess this, and also have an eye checkup, as sometimes eye pathology causing chronic…
