Answer Snippet

Do I need lipo or a tummy tuck?

Tummy Tuck or Lipo...That is the question!
Jul 2, 2020

Thanks for the question. Based on your photos you would benefit from a tummy tuck with liposuction. Your body mass index is 25 which is normal but I get the sense from your photos that you keep a little more of your fat in your midsection. Your don't have to lose weight but if you lost 5-10 lbs prior to surgery I think you would have an even better result. A tummy tuck would remove the excess skin and fat from the abdomen, create a natural belly button, tighten the abdominal musc...

Can a donut hole be used to increase in my lost volume, maybe a lift too?

Do I need a lift
Mar 27, 2019

Thanks for the question. Based on the photos and your desires I think you would be a great candidate for a breast augmentation using an implant. As you mentioned, the nipple position is fine. You appear to be deflated mainly. See a great local plastic surgeon.

Does a person with I cup have the chance to be a C cup?

Breast reduction cup size
Mar 27, 2019

Promising a cup size can be very difficult as not all manufacturers agree on cup sizes. I think your plastic surgeon can make you as small as her or she safely can. When I approach these procedures I try my best to get the size down to what the patient desires. Sometimes removing more tissue could result in serious complications. Even if you ended up a D cup you will feel so much better. I wouldn't let that stop you from having the surgery.

2 weeks post-op. I have TT incision dehiscence. Advice?

abdominal wound after tummy tuck
Mar 27, 2019

I am so sorry to hear that you are having this problem. Relatively speaking I would say this is a small wound seperation. It is however serious and should be treated correctly. I would hope that your surgeon is already aware of the situation. At this point the treatment includes local wound care and some debridement (cleaning up) of any tissue that doesn't look healthy. Please see your plastic surgeon ASAP.

Breast lift without replacing implant?

Can I get a lift without using implants
Jan 4, 2019

It is certainly possible to remove your implants, have a lift, and not replace the implants. If you feel that you have enough of your own natural breast tissue then this may be a great option. If you replace your implant then you will require additional surgery in the future to once again replace your implants. The advantages of using an implant include increase breast volume and fullness in the upper pole of the implant. Many times its difficult to know how much natural volume you hav...

What procedure would be best to remove lower ab fat?

How to get rid of lower abdominal fat
Apr 29, 2018

Thank you for your question and photographs. Based on your question and your photographs the only area you have excess fat is in the lower abdomen. Liposuction is the best procedure to remove 100% of the excess fat but it involves surgery. The other option would be coolsculpting to remove the area fat. It is not as aggressive as lipo but given how little fat you need removed, it may be perfect for you. We offer both procedures in our office and make recommendations based on the result...

What should be done first, BBL or Tummy Tuck?

Tummy Tuck or BBL first
Apr 29, 2018

This is a wonderful question and really depends on many factors. I would recommend speaking with both of your plastic surgeons and getting their recommendation Contrary to what other surgeons are saying on this site, I believe you should have the fat transfer first. Based on your height and weight, you don’t have a lot of excess fat to spare. The skin and fat that is removed from the lower abdomen could be used for your fat transfer. In my opinion I would perform the liposu...

Can I have a hernia repair and a tummy tuck at the same time?

Tummy tuck and hernia repair
Apr 29, 2018

A tummy tuck can be performed at the same time as a hernia. There are however many different types of hernia of the abdomen. The most common one is a bellybutton hernia. I personally know how to repair these and often do so during a tummy tuck. There however other more serious hernias like a groin hernia or a hernia caused by previous surgery of the abdomen. In my practice I have the luxury of having a general surgeon who is a hernia specialist in our office. We will often perform more c...

Insurance coverage of gynecomastia
Apr 28, 2018

Blue Cross may cover your procedure, but it will depend on several factors. I would contact your carrier and make sure that this is a covered benefit for your specific policy. I have seen Blue Shield exclude this procedure in some policies. They should also provide you with the criteria for coverage of your surgery. I would then ask your insurance company to send you a list of plastic surgeons in your area that are providers for your insurance. After you’ve seen your physician,...

Gynecomastia is the development of female breast tissue in the mail chest. Comes in many shapes and forms as well as different degrees of severity.
