Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
How to decide between drainless vs drains?
Both are effective treatments with small tradeoffs
Sep 22, 2023
I will preface my answer by saying I do primarily drainless abdominoplasties. With that being said I think both techniques are very effective and as others have mentioned you should choose the surgeon you trust and get consistent results. The complication profile between the two techniques when done correctly is very similar, specifically the risk of seroma formation. Some studies actually showed a decreased risk of seroma with the drainless.
Some patients just have a significant aversion…
Do I need a tummy tuck? Or what can be done about stomach loose skin?
An examination is needed for a definitive answer
Sep 20, 2023
Congratulations on your weight loss! This is a very difficult question to answer without doing an examination. The safe answer is probably a tummy tuck but based on your photos its possible you could also be a candidate for Lipo with a skin tightening device like Bodytite or J-Plasma.
Factors that make lipo/skin tightening a reasonable option are skin quality and age. If you don’t have any stretch marks and are less than 25 years old it may be reasonable. Another thing to consider is if you…
Breastfeeding before breast reduction, should I be concerned about the presence of milk 9 days pre-
Depends on when you stopped breast feeding.
Sep 20, 2023
Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. Every surgeon has their own recommendations but generally speaking if you were my patient and had stopped breastfeeding at least 6 months ago but were still producing a small amount of milk I would move forward with surgery. I would advise you that you have a slightly increased risk of forming a lactocele (milk cyst) that may require medication or drainage to treat. Best of luck with your surgery!
Considering a breast augmentation after weight loss – will I need a lift in addition to implants?
You could go either way depending on implant size and technique used.
Sep 20, 2023
Congratulations on your weight loss! That is a huge accomplishment. Accurate measurements are necessary to to give a definite answer but strictly based on your photos you would likely be a candidate for augmentation without lift if you were ok with a larger size implant to accommodate the skin envelope. Another important consideration is the technique used; I would recommend a dual plane 2 or 3 submuscular implant placement. This will allow for the upper portion of the implant to be covered…
Suture granuloma at muscle repair. Will this compromise the muscle repair?
This depends on the timing of suture removal
Sep 20, 2023
If you developed an issue with a sure in the acute post operative phase of recovery and remove one of the plication sutures less than 3-6 months after the procedure it could compromise the results because your body hasn’t been able to form strong scar tissue keeping the muscles together but after two years I would be surprised if your muscular plication was effected by a suture removal. As always, it’s best to consult with your surgeon because they may have additional information about your…
Mini or full tummy tuck or Laser Lipo?
Full tummy tuck
Sep 18, 2023
Based on your photos I believe a full tummy tuck would be your best option. Because you have some stretch marks your skin would not contract as much as you would like from liposuction alone and would leave you with loose skin. You also have a diastasis that you would not be able to fully correct with a “mini”. A “mini” would also lower your umbilicus to an unnaturally low position.
It is possible to have an uncomplicated pregnancy after a tummy tuck with muscular plication but it may result…
Will I be fine without a lift?
Benelli Lift
Sep 18, 2023
I personally use a Benelli lift infrequently because I believe most patients either fall into the camp of needing a full lift or no lift with their augmentation. For the small number of patients that really skirt the line of needing a lift it is a good option.
A few criteria I use when considering the Benelli lift is when the nipple only needs to be lifted less than 1.5cm and the nipple to inframammary fold distance is less than 11 cm. Implant selection is also an important consideration…
