Breast Augmentation: Cost, Reviews, Photos

Breasts are low sitting & want to a lift & tighten them up, what is recommended?

Breast lift
Dec 4, 2023

Thank you for your question. Based on your pictures, I would suggest a breast lift. Depending on you goal size after surgery, you may also be a candidate for what we call an “auto-augmentation”. This is where we use some of the tissue from the bottom of the breast that would normally be removed during a lift and sew it up higher on the chest to create a little more fullness centrally. When combined with a skin excision (likely anchor lift), this can re-position your breast tissue higher on…

Trying to make a decision on implant size and profile

Bustmob Goalfinder

The Bustmob Goalfinder is a free online resource that you can use to search through thousands of pictures. You can also search based on height and weight so that you can see people with a frame similar to yours. Additionally, the pictures tend to have all the information you are requesting. I have all my patients pick out some wish pics prior to their consultation so that we can be on the same page about size and shape goals

What procedure would best fit me?

Have you tried Botox?
Dec 3, 2023

If you are happy with the way your chin looks at rest but don’t like what happens when you smile, you may be a good candidate for Botox of the muscle on your chin called the mentalis. This muscle pulls on your chin and can contribute to that dynamic effect you are describing. It may be worth a try since it is less invasive and has a lower cost than surgery.

Do you think a chin liposuction and buccal fat removal will get me a sharp jawline or is a genioplasty

Submental plus or minus genioplasty
Dec 3, 2023

Thank you for your question. The three procedures you mention target different areas. Submental liposuction is great at removing the extra fat under your chin and affecting the angle you see when you look from the side profile. A genioplasty can increase how far out your chin sticks. We look at the side profile and compare your chin position with the rest of your face. Your chin is already sitting past the base of where your nostrils attach to your face so I would not say that you need a…

30s, 32C, 5’1, 115 lbs – can I get breast Implants without lift?

Lifts with implants
Dec 3, 2023

Thank you for your question. The short answer is that you can get breast implants without a lift but the bigger question is if you will be happy with the results. When we place an implant, it tends to sit on top of your breast footprint (where your breast attaches to your chest). If your native breast tissue sits on top of your footprint already, then this is not a problem. When you have a large portion of your breast tissue sitting below your footprint, then adding an implant can improve…

Tummy tuck or lipo? 5’9, mom-of-4, 6 months postpartum

Tummy tuck vs Lipo
Dec 3, 2023

Thank you for asking this question. The answer depends on what your goal is and what is bothering you. If you suck in and flex your abs, the remaining tissue externally is what we have the ability to change. If you do this and feel the extra tissue is mostly fat and not extra skin, you may be a candidate for lipo only. If you are experiencing more of a bulge when doing sit ups, then it is likely you have more muscle separation than you think (incredibly likely in the setting of having 4…

5’3, 145lbs, does weight impact the success of a tummy tuck?

Tummy tuck results
Nov 30, 2023

Thank you for asking this question. In general, there are a few things that can prediction how your results will be. One is your frame, it tends to be easier to create the visual appearance of a small waistline in patients with long torsos relative to their frames. The other thing that makes a big difference is where you carry your weight. Everyone has fat both inside the abdomen and then the fat you see outside. Since a tummy tuck can only address the outside, the more fat you have in your…
