Abnormal belly button after TT - Has anyone else has seen this and knows how to correct it, or i
Belly button scarring after TT
Mar 17, 2019
Thank you for the question! I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with issues related to your belly button healing after TT surgery. There are countless techniques when it comes to belly button transposition / making a belly button with TT surgery. Every person scars differently and can sometimes cause widened or hypertrophic scarring. This can be very visible with TT surgery. It sounds like your PS has been trying non surgical ways to address your belly button. I would recommend fol...
What can I do to remove fat from under my breast that sit on my ribs. I was thinking about lipo?
Addressing fat under breasts
Mar 5, 2019
Thanks for your question and photos. Yes, liposuction alone could address the additional fat present over your ribs, below your breast. However, I would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon to discuss the overall contour of your abdomen as well! Their goal should be to address your concerns while also finding a balance that fits your figure. This may include addressing other areas such as your abdomen, your breasts, and your flanks and even back. Best of luck!
Too much compression ruin my TT?
Compression after tummy tuck
Mar 5, 2019
Thank you for the question. After tummy tuck surgery, swelling will start to accumulate just above your incision line. This is because the blood flow and lymphatics have been disrupted from removal of the excess skin and fat. However, over the next several months your body will reconfigure it’s blood flow and the swelling above your incision will resolve. Your scar will also continue to “remodel itself” over the next year or so, so it will become less thick and less pink. Howev...
What would be the best decision to make? I'm 26 with 5 kids. I want a flat stomach
Surgery after kids for a flat stomach
Mar 5, 2019
Thank you for your question and photos! Congratulations of five kids, that’s amazing! Now, it’s time to take care of you! First off, before any surgery, it would be best to figure out if you’re planning on having more children. If the answer is “yes,” then wait! If you’re ready to move on with obtaining the flat stomach you had before, then the next step would be to find a plastic surgeon near you that you can see in person for consultation. Typically, I recommend that patients ar...
Fat hyperplasia because of obese at young age, will CoolSculpting help me?
Coolsculpting and fat hyperplasia after significant weight loss
Mar 5, 2019
Thanks for your question and photograph. From what I can see, based off this photo, I would agree that you have excess skin after losing over 120 lbs (congratulations, btw)! Although Coolsculpting can address areas of mild amounts of stubborn fat, it would not address the skin laxity that comes with massive weight loss. I would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon for an in person consultation so you are aware of all your options (surgical and non-surgical)!
Breast augmentation pain. Both nipples are extremely sensitive. Should I be concerned?
Nipple pain and firmness of breast after breast augmentation
Mar 5, 2019
Thank you for the question. If you are having nipple hypersensitivity or recurrent breast pain and change in the firmness of either of your breasts 8 months after surgery, then I would recommend following up with your plastic surgeon. Your surgeon can assess whether or not you are having the formation of a capsular contracture, which can cause these types of symptoms. Your surgeon can also go over ways to help desensitize your nipples if it not related to capsular contracture formation....

Liposuction for BBL after tummy tuck and GB removal
Mar 5, 2019
Thanks for question, sreyes26. Based on the picture you provided, there are no obvious contraindications for liposuction of your abdomen for a BBL. However, I would definitely recommend seeing a plastic surgeon in person to discuss your contour irregularities / previous scars and how they can safely be addressed while giving you the look you want and getting sufficient fat for the BBL. Best of luck!
How do you know if you have wide breasts?
Wide breasts and measurements
Mar 5, 2019
Thanks for your question, pinkvock. “Wide breasts” may refer to the width of each of your breasts when measured from side to side (from approximately your sternum out toward your arm pit). This measurement, the breast diameter or base width, is an important measurement for plastic surgeons when trying to determine what implant size and profile would best fit your chest and the look you’re desiring. “Wide set” breasts refers to breasts in relationship to both the amount of space between t...

Options after your breast augmentation
Mar 4, 2019
Thanks for the question and for the picture. Sounds like what bothers you most are how your breasts hang and the space, or "cleavage" between your breasts.
As for your breast hang, I would recommend you talk to your plastic surgeon about the possibility of a breast lift. This can help address the hanging and excess skin around your breast and implant. Sometimes, this incision can be carried out toward the armpit area and can help remove some of the excess skin and fat so it doesn't hang over...

Burning pain after slipping down stairs
Mar 4, 2019
Thank you for the question. Hope you are feeling better after your recent slip down the stairs! I agree with you contacting your plastic surgeon as soon as possible to make sure you are assessed in person. However, with the lack of significant change in your breast size or visible bruising and swelling, it is likely that you irritated some of the nerves that travel toward your nipple. This will likely improve with time. Talk to your plastic surgeon before taking any NSAIDs (Ibuprofen,...

Lifting children after breast augmentation
Mar 4, 2019
Thank you for the question, Lydia_one:
This is a very relevant question! I see many women for breast augmentation after having children, and many times they still have little ones that want their mother's constant attention. Typically, I counsel patients that if the augmentation is performed and the implant placed under your muscle, then you shouldn't lift more than 5 - 10 pounds for up to four weeks, and then normal lifting at six weeks. This is because we don't want to cause any...
Is there any way to get sensation back in your nipples after augmentation? It's been almost thre
Loss of nipple sensation and no return after 3 years
Mar 4, 2019
Thank you for your question. Is this something that happened to both of your breasts following breast augmentation? Unfortunately, one of the risks of breast augmentation (especially with larger implants) is partial or total loss of nipple sensation. The nerves can be stretched out (or cut) from the surgery and sometimes they do not recover. At this point (over 3 years), it is unlikely that you will have any meaningful recovery of sensation. My best wishes to you.
What could this hypopigmented spot after my breast augmentation be?
Hypopigmented spot and lollipop lift
Mar 4, 2019
Thank you for the question and the picture! I can see how the appearance of a new hypo pigmented area of skin near your areola after your breast augmentation surgery can be a little concerning. Without a full picture of your breast, its difficult to tell the orientation of this in relation to the rest of your breast, but it is unlikely cased by your breast augmentation. Additionally, if you're planning on having a "lollipop" lift in the near future, this would be a way to address...
is Internal bra ok for active lifestyle?
Internal stitching or bra
Mar 4, 2019
Thanks for your question! Internal suturing or placement of internal mesh (internal bra) support is helpful in trying to position your implants appropriately. Theoretically, these materials used resorb / incorporate into the body over time as you form a new capsule around your implant. During your healing period, it would be important to discuss with your plastic surgeon what activities would be possible without disrupting the healing process. The degree of correction or extent of...
How long should I wear silicone sheets to where they are still effective?
Silicone sheets
Mar 3, 2019
Great question! Typically, my patients can start applying silicone sheets at around 3 weeks post-op (after scars are pink) and apply them for up to 3 months. After that, I recommend patients keep their scars completely out of the direct sunlight for the next 12 months as the scar is continuing to remodel. Talking to your plastic surgeon about their guidelines for scar management would be ideal! Best of luck and keep us updated on your progress!
