Wound healing
May 9, 2019

Thank you for your question and photos. It is not uncommon to have a minor wound healing issue. It looks as though it is on the mend. Please contact your surgeon to have them be a part of your wound management over a pool of internet advisers. Good luck.

How can I achieve my goal photo?

Goal of Mommy Makeover
May 9, 2019

Thank you for your question and photos. While one may not be able to deliver the results you have achieved with photo shop one can see a significant improvement. It is very helpful that you have communicated your goals. I would recommend a face to face evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in the Mommy Makeover. After an evaluation one can then have a better idea of how much one can improve. Good luck.

Increased swelling after tummy tuck.
Apr 29, 2019

Thank you for your question. If your are experiencing an increase in your swelling you should see your plastic surgeon for an evaluation. One should expect decreasing swelling as the weeks go by. Good Luck.

Post op labiaplasty
Apr 29, 2019

Thank you for your question and photo. One should expect swelling and bruising in the post op period. This can take a few weeks to resolved. It is too early to get worried. Keep in touch with your surgeon for the best advice. Good luck.

I am 6 weeks post op for breast augmentation and I am stressing about CC. Is this normal?

Post op appearance
Apr 27, 2019

Thank you for your question and photos. One should expect the healing to take from 3-6 months for all the swelling and symmetry issues to settle in. Try to be patient and keep in touch with your surgeon. Good luck.

What lift technique, size and implant is best for me?

Breast Lift with Implants
Apr 27, 2019

Thank you for your question and photo. Based on the image one can see there is some asymmetry in addition to the ptosis of the breasts. I recommend a face to face evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon who will be able to review your complete medical information. After a consultation the best option for you can be reached. An implant alone would not likely provide enough lift. One may be a candidate for an implant and a lift using an anchor type of incison that is limited. Th...

1 month post op BA, half of my left breast is completely numb. Will this go away with time?
Apr 10, 2019

Thank you for your question. I educate patients that they may have some altered sensation for up to 3-6 months. One expects all sensation issues to resolve, however, in rare instances it could be permanent. The incisions used, the technique used and the size o f the implants are all factors that can influence the return of sensation. Keep in touch with your plastic surgeon, Good luck

Can my breasts be made to be larger and more symmetrical?

Can my breast be symmetrical and larger?
Apr 10, 2019

Thank you for your question and photos. The short answer is that they can be larger and more symmetric. Exactly identical may not be reasonable. In many cases one may need to consider implants and a lift. Often removal of some tissue from the larger side can help to achieve a more symmetric outcome. I would recommend starting with a face to face consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic breast surgery. Good luck

Should I go through with a scheduled crescent lift? Should I get 210cc or 255cc? Advice or insight?

Breast Lift with implants
Apr 5, 2019

Thank you for your question and photos. Your question on what size is your personal preference. It all depends on what size one desires. This is a choice you will have to live with and therefore you should be confident with your decision. I find most patients when deciding between two different sizes seem to be more happy with the larger size. These are decisions that you and your surgeon are best to make as a team. There is a limit as to how much of a lift one can achieve with a cre...

Post op Swelling
Apr 5, 2019

Thank you for your photo and question. In my experience 5 weeks is very early to make a judgement regarding final outcome. I usually have my patients wear compression for at least 6 weeks and then educate them that I would expect swelling for up to three months. I would give this more time. Good luck.

Best incision and size for augmentation?
Mar 19, 2019

Thank you for your question. Your surgeon is the best one to answer that question. Every surgeon develops techniques and experience to deliver a great result. If your surgeon can do a great job with a transaxillary approach but not an inframammary one then I would ask why. In general an inframmary approach places the incision closer to where the dissection and surgery is occurring. Always seek a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in breast surgery and can show plenty of befo...

Can you have a baby after a tummy tuck?

Can you have a baby after a tummy tuck?
Mar 19, 2019

Thank you for your question. Yes, it is safe to have a pregnancy after a tummy tuck. Of course, one may risk loosening up of the diastasis repair (the splitting of the abdomen muscles that occur with pregnancy). One may still be able to have a touch up with re tightening of the muscles if needed. Good luck.

How do drain less tummy tucks compare to the standard full tummy tuck?
Mar 19, 2019

Thank you for your question. Both procedures have been around for decades. Many surgeons have be educated to use drains without question. However, when a new approach comes along there can be a significant amount of debate of which method is better (better for the patient or better for the surgeon or both). Drain less technique can take a bit longer for the surgeon to execute, but the results are beneficial to both the surgeon and the patient. What patient embraces the management of d...

Want to repair my diastasis, but do I have enough loose skin for a low scar?

Diastasis Repair with low abdomen scar
Mar 19, 2019

Thank you for your photos and question. In my experience the best candidate for repair of the diastasis and tummy tuck are ones who are healthy and active. The images suggest that you would be a great candidate to have the diastasis repaired and the loose skin redraped with a low incision, usually the preexisting C-section one is use. I recommend a formal consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Good luck.

Breast Augmentation Recovery: What Can I Expect?

Recovery after breast augmentation.
Dec 29, 2018

Thank you for your question. Recovery after breast augmentation can vary base on several factors. One is the surgeon, two is the patient, three is the size of the implants, and four is the technique used for the surgery. These are just a few of the items that can impact one's recovery. With smart decisions and a skilled surgeon one should expect to return to "normal activity" in 24 hours or so. Always seek a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in breast augmentation. Good luck.
