Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Can I use my own fat to fix tuberous breasts?
In mild cases only
Nov 3, 2019
There are different degrees of breast constriction/herniation and so whether the problem may be corrected via fat only depends on how severe your case is. In the more severe cases, fat injection only will not address the problem as the breast skin that is protruded would be more likely to expand, compounding the problem. Initially the breast would need to be reshaped, following this, fat grafting would be used to augment volume.
Do you need a permanent suture for a circumvertical lift?
Depends on the degree to which your areola is reduced.
Oct 13, 2019
In general, the vertical incision bears much of the tension in performing a keyhole pattern lift. If the areola needs a large reduction then the tension on the non-pigmented skin/areola junction may be such that the scar spreads and heals in a very unsightly manner. Non-dis-solvable suture will last long enough for the skin to relax and minimize this effect, but there is nothing extraordinary about "permanent suture." Once the tissue relaxes, it no longer bears the stress of the...
Is it possible to get breast implant surgery without removing piercings?
Possible, but not advisable.
Oct 13, 2019
While it is possible to cover your areolae with an occlusive dressing during surgery, things move around and there is a chance that the dressing may get dislodged, compromising the sterility of the field. Why take that chance unless it is unavoidable ? (for example if it is not possible to remove the piercings). If the piercings are removable, they can simply be sterilized and replaced once the chest has been adequately prepped, this would also allow for the chance to apply the prep...
I'm not satisfied with the simulation for rhinoplasty. What is your opinion please - especially
Beauty is in the eyes
Oct 12, 2019
The beauty of the preoperative simulation is just that. Have you ever heard of the phrase "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder?" Your surgeon's idea of perfection may be different from yours. That is why it is important to completely explain your wishes. It appears that the dorsal hump has been removed in the simulation and that made a big difference for the better. There are other things that can be done to make your nose more pleasing and more feminine. For example, the tip can be...
Could I have a closed rhino or will a nose filler look good with my nose?
No filler, no closed approach
Oct 12, 2019
I do not recommend filler in your case. Much of what needs to be done can be described as a reduction, not an augmentation so augmenting with a filling substance would not help.
As far as a closed approach, there is a place for that but the amount of work that needs to be done to refine your tip predictably is much too much to attempt through a closed approach with any precision. There are "experts" who would attempt that to save you a very inconspicuous scar but the risk in trade-off...
How to Make Your Boobs Bigger - Pills or Creams?
Do they work?
Sep 29, 2019
You have to ask yourself, if the non-surgical solutions worked, why would breast augmentation be one of the most commonly performed procedures in the US? The answer is, it wouldn't. It would breast implant companies out of business. Do you know anyone who'd had implants? Probably yes. Do you know anyone who has successfully enlarged their breasts via these other means? Don't fall for the gimmicks, save your money, and spend it on something shown to work.
What happens if you get sick with a cough or cold before surgery?
Postpone until safe
Sep 29, 2019
There are two main issues with going through with surgery while ill with an upper respiratory or a number of other infectious processes.
First, life-threatening complications such as cardiac events and more serious lung infections will certainly happen at greater rates. Secondly, you can "seed" the operative site, in cases of bacterial infection, resulting in wound site problems and in cases where implants are used, the need to remove them.
The safest thing is to wait until...
Breast Augmentation Recovery: What Can I Expect?
Recovery after Breast Augmentation
Sep 29, 2019
The following information is given to Dr. Gerzenshtein’s patients before surgery to inform them of a typical course after breast augmentation. Your plastic surgeon may have a different working environment, and his or her patients a different experience. Consult with your physician about their impressions of patient experience. On waking from anesthesia, you will find yourself in the recovery room with dressings and/or bra in place. You will be able to depart once sufficiently recovered f...
What would be *your* personal recommendation for my BA? Natural looking C cup.
What would be *your* personal recommendation for my BA?
Mar 9, 2017
I always advise patients to forget cup size because the look differs per person. You should choose the size with the sizing system at your plastic surgeon's office and go by the appearance. With that being said, 400-450 ccs will give you the desired C cup size.

Fat grafting followed by breast implants
Mar 9, 2017
Unfortunately, even if you were to undergo a breast augmentation with large implants it would not correct the issue. If you do not want to undergo bony reconstruction (which is a big procedure) I would recommend camouflage with fat grafting. Several treatments would be required to camouflage the area. After this, I would suggest a breast augmentation with 410 cc textured form stable implants.
Best wishes,

Rhinoplasty Recovery

Let’s assume that the procedure in question involves the entirety of the nose, and not just the tip. With that in mind, here is a typical course after nasal surgery.

Immediately after surgery you will have a moustache dressing, either internal packing or an internal nasal splint an external splint. You will have swelling, pain, and tenderness, and gradually worsening periorbital ecchymosis (bruising about the eyes).

The first week:

How Much Does Rhinoplasty Cost?
As low as $3000 to as high as $12000, as with most things in life, it depends....
Oct 19, 2016
The short answer; as low as 3000 dollars to as much as 12000 dollars depending on the complexity of the surgery involved; the areas to be addressed, the need to use additional reconstructive material, and whether the procedure is the patient’s first or a “redo,” or a multiple “redo.” The less expensive end of the spectrum usually involves refinement of the tip only, in a patient who has not undergone previous procedures, and is psychologically able to tolerate the surgery u...
4 months old implants 500cc to much. Any suggestions?
Would need to see or you to make determination
Feb 16, 2016
Implants may be downsized, but that would depend on the size of the shell originally used. The fact that you already feel ripples likely means that using the same shell to downsize may worsen the issue. As far as asymmetry; you would need to provide photos. Thanks
I have a big ball on the tip of my nose and it's very wide. Price?
Boxy Tip
Sep 20, 2015
If you are happy with the appearance of your bridge, and the top, the bony part of your nose, all that you would require would be a tip rhinoplasty. This would run approximately 4k.
Which would you recommend; Saline or Silicone?
Conflicting conditions.
Aug 5, 2015
Placing implants above the muscle will undoubtedly speed recovery, but at the same time may require you to have surgery to correct droop, excessive capsule formation, or rupture, sooner than if you had placed them at least in part below the muscle. This runs contrary to your other requirement of "something that looks and feels natural and lasts a long time." Placing implants under breast tissue will almost always necessitate the use of silicone, whereas if you have a moderate amount of...
