Would breast implants alone help me achieve fuller perkier breast, or does it look like I need a lift as well?
Aug 14, 2019
Based on these photos, you are a good candidate for for breast augmentation with implants.  You do not need a lift.  You need to consult with one or more board-certified plastic surgeons experienced in breast enhancement procedures.  Once you see your final result, I predict you will be extremely pleased!

Lipo or Tummy Tuck or something else?
Aug 14, 2019
Based on these photos and your history, you would be an excellent candidate for abdominoplasty with liposuction of your flanks and back.  One of the great benefits of tummy tuck over abdominal liposuction is the repair of your stomach muscles with tummy tuck to aid in the achievement of an optimally flat abdomen after one or more pregnancies.  You certainly need to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon, preferably a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and o…

How much cc will look natural for me (Asian and petite)?
Aug 12, 2019
I think anything 250 cc or less will look natural on your petite frame.  Looking at your photos, you are an excellent candidate for sizing with the external sizer system.  Due to your thin tissues, I would strongly recommend silicone gel over saline breast implants to avoid rippling issues.  I would especially recommend one of the more cohesive gel implants, variations of which are offered by all 3 implant companies in the U.S.  Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon, preferably who is…

Do I need a lift or are 400 cc. implants without a lift okay?
Aug 6, 2019
Looking at your photos, you do not need a lift and breast implant augmentation alone will give you an optimally perky and beautifully shaped breast.  Without an in-person consultation and examination along with trying on external sizers, I cannot say if the 400 cc implant size would be best for you.

Is my pooch normal 7 months post tummy tuck? Does my scar need revision? Should I let my plastic surgeon do it?
Aug 6, 2019
Based on these photos alone, you could definitely benefit from a revision, the details and extent of which would require an examination to determine.  I would definitely recommend lowering the transverse scar, revising the previous belly-button scar and correcting the “pooch” as indicated by examination.  I generally recommend waiting one year after the tummy tuck so that the tissues are optimally soft for revision, especially when needing to lower the transverse scar.If you have con…
How saggy are my breasts? Would you suggest a breast lift?
How saggy are my breasts? Would you suggest a breast lift?
Aug 4, 2019
Based on your photo you would definitely benefit greatly from a mastopexy (breast lift).  This procedure will correct your sagginess and make your breasts more perky.  Most ladies also want and need a breast implant to restore upper pole fullness and shape to their lifted breasts.  Sometimes fat grafting may be beneficial in order to optimally shape their breasts. All this can only be determined by an in-person consultation and examination.  A board-certified plastic surgeon, preferabl…

Is it Necessary to Use Galaflex to Fix Double-Bubble or Can Internal Sutures Work on Their Own
Aug 4, 2019
I almost always use the internal suture technique.  This has worked for 98% of my patients over the past many years and thus reduces the patient’s out-of-pocket costs for the revision.  I have selectively used Acellular Dermal Matrix on rare occasions, particular when the patient has very thin tissues, or when they come to me having previously had a double-bubble repair done elsewhere.  Today, instead of Acellular Dermal Matrix, I now use Galaflex in such cases.  Best wishes to you!

Would I need a lift as well as a breast augmentation?
Jul 29, 2019
Based on these photos, you definitely do not need a breast lift.  You will be able to achieve your ideal result with a smooth, round silicone gel breast implant alone.  In these photos, your tissues appear to be quite thin so be sure to ask your board-certified plastic surgeon(s) with whom you consult about more cohesive-type gel implants.  The more cohesive the gel, the less likely you are to experience rippling and wrinkling issues.  Implant size will require in-person consultation and e…
Is Lipo or Tummy Tuck right for me?
Is Lipo or Tummy Tuck Right For Me?
Jul 29, 2019
It is my strong recommendation that you first lose at least 20 to 25 pounds and maintain that weight for 3 to 6 months before consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in liposuction and abdominoplasty to determine what is best to achieve your body contouring goals. Best wishes to you.

Mastopexy and implants 35 years ago, implants now ruptured. Can I have another Mastopexy.
Jul 29, 2019
Your implants can and should be removed along with the capsule around the implants.  If needed, you should certainly be able to undergo another mastopexy, with or without new implants, or perhaps with fat grafting.  The choices depend upon your goals and expectation to a great degree along with the current status of your general health..  I definitely recommend you consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is very experienced with breast implant/mastopexy revision surgery.  Best …
I am a 5’7 170 female considering breast augmentation, should I get a lift as well?
Considering breast augmentation, should I get a lift as well?
Jul 14, 2019
Based on your photos here, you may or may not need a lift with your breast augmentation.  It is quite possible that you could achieve the best possible results from breast augmentation alone with dual planing.  If the optimal results for your breasts would require the addition of a lift, a circumareolar lift looks to be what you would need.  You would not, in my opinion, benefit from a “lollipop” lift based on these photos.In order to determine what would be best for you would require an…

What type of liposuction is best when doing fat transfer?
Jul 12, 2019
First of all, most any type of liposuction, when appropriately used for fat harvest and fat transfer, will be successful.  I have seen excellent results with fat transfer in my patients using Vaser, power-assisted and traditional liposuction technology.  In using each of these technologies, I make appropriate adjustments in settings when harvesting fat for fat grafting in order to preserve the viability of the harvested fat.  To date, our results have been excellent and our patients having…

Revision after breast lift?
Jul 8, 2019
I certainly think much improvement can be accomplished with revision surgery.  Exactly what type of revision would optimally improve your breast appearance cannot be determined by these photos alone.  You definitely need to consult with one or more board certified plastic surgeons with experience in breast enhancement revisions in order to express your concerns and determine what specifically can and should be done to achieve the best possible outcome for you.  Best wishes to you!

Should I have gone with different size implants in each breast?
Jul 6, 2019
Based on these photos, you seem to have very little asymmetry postoperatively.  In my opinion, different implant sizes in each breast would, more than likely, make your breasts look more asymmetric.  Every woman has natural asymmetries in their breasts.  (Breasts are sisters, not twins, and nothing can make them into twins).  In these photos you appear to have an excellent result.  You should discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. 
Best possible outcome for asymmetry pre-op or is my breast bottoming out?
