Will Saline Feel the Same As Silicone with the Amount of Breast Tissue I Have?

Feeling of Saline vs. Silicone
May 14, 2012

Generally patients who have a thin subcutaneous breast layer, probably less than 1-2 cm will more likely feel the saline implants. Generally patients that have a lot of breast tissue or thick body habitus will have a feel of saline closer to that of silicone. I think there is no doubt though, that silicone implants generally have a softer feel.

Best surgery to define your waist
May 14, 2012

The simplest means to adding contour to your waist is liposuction for those patients that have a waist affected with lipodystrophy. For those patients that have a diastasis recti, redundant skin and lipodystrophy, abdominoplasty is the most effective way to perform this.

Is It Risky to Perform a Breast Uplift at the Same Time As Implant and Capsule Removal?

Can it be done at the same time?

Breast implant replacement or breast augmentation themselves, are very straight forward operations, likewise a mastopexy is very straight forward. Combining these two operations brings in different elements of expanding the pocket and at the same time shrinking the skin volume. Prior surgeries interfere with circulation to the breast skin and nipple areola complex. Obviously implants that are directly under this tissue, such as subglandular, have more difficulty with…

Flying Soon After Tummy Tuck & Lipo?

Air Travel
May 14, 2012

The chief concern of air travel following operative procedures is the increased risk of deep venous thrombosis in the lower legs, which can potentially result in pulmonary embolism. Abdominoplasty is an operation of greater magnitude than liposuction. I would think a patient that had liposuction of her waist and torso, could probably fly 2 weeks after surgery without a great deal of concern. Liposuction of the lower legs would probably require a four week wait. After…

Liposuction-RecoveryTime. Is Five Days Enough Time?

Recover time for Lipo
May 2, 2012

Depending upon the different areas and the amount of liposuction done on the patient, you need approximately 5 days to recover and avoid certain activities. This should be enough time to return to a desk type job. Submental liposuction is easily accomplished with a down time of less than 5 days and usually has a minimal amount of bruising which makes this undetectable. To be physically active and exercise heavily, I would think a minimum of 2-3 weeks.

Cellulite and Lower Body Lift
Apr 23, 2012

Generally body lifts are effectivve in alleviating redundant skin, laxity and gravitational changes. Cellulite is a skin texture problem, which may be improved with body lift but I would not specifically expect any major alleviation of fine cellulitic lines and skin texture.

Is a Breast Lift and Implants Done at the Same Time? if So Does It Effect Price?

Both at the same time
Apr 23, 2012

Combining breast augmentation and mastopexy is an efficient use of surgical time, recovery time, and for most part has efficiency for pricing. Doing a breast lift and augmentation simultaneously requires expertise in both procedures. Breast lift themselves, are relatively straight forward as are breast augmentation standing alone. Combining these two procedures is more complex but is frequently done.
