Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Do I need lipo or a tummy tuck?
Tummy Tuck or Lipo...That is the question!
Jul 2, 2020
Thanks for the question.  Based on your photos you would benefit from a tummy tuck with liposuction.  Your body mass index is 25 which is normal but I get the sense from your photos that you keep a little more of your fat in your midsection.  Your don't have to lose weight but if you lost 5-10 lbs prior to surgery I think you would have an even better result. A tummy tuck would remove the excess skin and fat from the abdomen, create a natural belly button, tighten the abdominal musc...
Can a donut hole be used to increase in my lost volume, maybe a lift too?
Do I need a lift
Mar 27, 2019
Thanks for the question.  Based on the photos and your desires I think you would be a great candidate for a breast augmentation using an implant.  As you mentioned, the nipple position is fine.  You appear to be deflated mainly.  See a great local plastic surgeon. 
Does a person with I cup have the chance to be a C cup?
Breast reduction cup size
Mar 27, 2019
Promising a cup size can be very difficult as not all manufacturers agree on cup sizes.  I think your plastic surgeon can make you as small as her or she safely can.  When I approach these procedures I try my best to get the size down to what the patient desires.  Sometimes removing more tissue could result in serious complications.  Even if you ended up a D cup you will feel so much better. I wouldn't let that stop you from having the surgery.

abdominal wound after tummy tuck
Mar 27, 2019
I am so sorry to hear that you are having this problem.  Relatively speaking I would say this is a small wound seperation.  It is however serious and should be treated correctly.  I would hope that your surgeon is already aware of the situation.  At this point the treatment includes local wound care and some debridement (cleaning up) of any tissue that doesn't look healthy.  Please see your plastic surgeon ASAP.
Breast lift without replacing implant?
Can I get a lift without using implants
Jan 4, 2019
It is certainly possible to remove your implants, have a lift, and not replace the implants.  If you feel that you have enough of your own natural breast tissue then this may be a great option.  If you replace your implant then you will require additional surgery in the future to once again replace your implants.  The advantages of using an implant include increase breast volume and fullness in the upper pole of the implant.  Many times its difficult to know how much natural volume you hav...
What procedure would be best to remove lower ab fat?
How to get rid of lower abdominal fat
Apr 29, 2018
Thank you for your question  and photographs. Based on your question and your photographs the only area you have excess fat is in the lower abdomen.  Liposuction is the best procedure to remove 100% of the excess fat  but it involves surgery. The other option would be coolsculpting  to remove the area fat. It is not as aggressive as lipo  but given how little fat you need removed, it may be perfect for you. We offer both procedures in our office  and make recommendations based on the result...
What should be done first, BBL or Tummy Tuck?
Tummy Tuck or BBL first
Apr 29, 2018
This is a wonderful question and really depends on many factors.  I would recommend speaking with both of your plastic surgeons and getting their recommendation  Contrary to what other  surgeons are saying on this site, I believe you should have the fat transfer first.  Based on your height and weight, you don’t have a lot of excess fat to spare.   The skin and fat that is removed from the lower abdomen could be used for your fat transfer. In my opinion I would perform the liposu...
Can I have a hernia repair and a tummy tuck at the same time?
Tummy tuck and hernia repair
Apr 29, 2018
A tummy tuck can be performed at the same time as a hernia. There are however many different types of hernia of the abdomen. The most common one is a bellybutton hernia. I personally know how to repair these and often do so during a tummy tuck. There however other more serious hernias like a groin hernia or a hernia caused by previous surgery of the abdomen. In my practice I have the luxury of having a general surgeon who is a hernia specialist in our office. We will often perform more c...

Insurance coverage of gynecomastia
Apr 28, 2018
 Blue Cross  may  cover your procedure, but it will depend on several factors.  I would contact your carrier and make sure that this is a covered benefit for your specific policy.  I have seen Blue Shield exclude this procedure in some policies. They should also provide you with the  criteria for coverage of your surgery.  I would then ask your insurance company to send you a list of plastic surgeons in your area that are providers for your insurance.  After you’ve seen your physician,...
I can’t tell if I have gynecomastia? I really am insecure about how I look.
Do I have gynecomastia
Apr 28, 2018
Gynecomastia is the development of female breast tissue in the mail chest. Comes in many shapes and forms as well as different degrees of severity. Based on your photographs it would look like you do you have gynecomastia. Of course a diagnosis cannot be made until you had a physical examination. The treatment options include direct excision of the breast tissue or liposuction.  Sometimes the combination approach is needed. In some instances we may even reduce the size of the areola or ...
What is Breast Augmentation Mastopexy?
Breast Augmentation Mastopexy
Apr 12, 2018
A mastopexy is a breast lift. If the position of the nipple and areola have become too low, then they will need to be lifted up. Most patients who have not had children or have not had major weight loss will not require a lift. An in person consultation is the best way to know if you would need a lift and if so, what type of lift you would benefit from.

Hypersensitivity of the skin and nipples is not unusual after breast augmentation. This will usually improve but may take two to three months. Although this can be uncomfortable you will eventually regain normal sensitivity. 
Breast Augmentation At 18?
Breast Augmentation at Age 18?
Apr 11, 2018
Currently, according to the FDA, patients under 22 years of age are not "allowed" to have silicone breast augmentation. Some surgeons will still do a breast augmentation on a patient under 22 but you need to know that it does void the warranty from the implant manufacturer. 
Since you don`t want silicone implants, this is not that relevant. What I tell my younger breast augmentation patients is that what you want now may not be true in five years from now. You can get any size you want if ...
Choosing the right Implant size, is this okay?
Choosing the right size implant
Apr 10, 2018
This is a wonderful question but very difficult to answer.  Here is how I councel patients:
No surgeon can promise you a cup size because cup sized can differ based on the manufacturer
Generally 300 cc will increase you two cup sizes and reasonable to go from an A to a C cup
A "sizing" performed in the office with temporary implants can really help in determining a size.  
Photographs of patient results that you like are also helpful.  
The profile of an implant (moderate vs. moderate plus v...
