Doctor's answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Is 485cc too much?
Implant size
Dec 2, 2023
With 25+ years of experience under my belt I will tell you that proportionally for your frame 485cc implants are too large long term. This is my opinion. If you are looking for implants to compliment your body especially when your proportions will be changing from your tummy tuck, you may want to consider resizing to s smaller implant.
Exilis before Vaser liposuction?
Vaser Lipocontouring
Nov 5, 2023
Yes… you should be fine to have vaser liposuction performed. Of course your chosen surgeon needs to know your history and will evaluate you on exam to make sure you have no structural abnormalities.
Do I need a neck lift? Is there another procedure that would tighten this skin?
Neck wrinkles
Nov 5, 2023
The skin laxity that bariatric weight loss patients experience is different than normal skin laxity. Procedures such as Renuvion would help improve tone, texture and tightening a bit but, surgical options such as a neck lift may also have to be explored.
Alar Cinch Suture Ruined my Smile. What To Do?
Alar Stitch
Nov 5, 2023
If the only thing you had was a stitch… this can be removed by your surgeon and your smile and appearance should return to normal within a week or so.
Tummy tuck, 360 lipo, breast reduction and lift and thigh lift
Mommy Makeover
Oct 14, 2023
As a general rule of thumb, having surgery longer than 5 to 6 hours at a time, increases your risk for postoperative complications, including wound breakdown, infection, and blood clots. Additionally, the recovery for this procedure, when combining all of these procedures together can sometimes be overwhelming. In general, a core 360 liposuction, combined with tummy tuck and breast surgery Takes approximately four hours and is usually well tolerated by the patient.
My cheeks puff out when I smile - what treatment would you advise?
Buccal Fat pad
Oct 14, 2023
Removal of the buccal, fat pad many times helps contour and slim the middle third of the face resulting in a more structured look to the jawline and the cheek bone region. This is a simple procedure that takes 30 minutes through incisions inside your mouth so there is no visible scarring.
7 months post-op - why does my boob fold like this in tops?
Extra breast fold
Oct 14, 2023
Unfortunately, this is your previous breast fold prior to implant placement. To correct this would require repositioning the breast implant, and then some form of breast lift, or changing the implant from under the muscle to on top of the muscle.
