Do I need a different profile/shape implant? Would changing my implant cause me to scar badly again
breast lift technique
Jan 3, 2019
Although an in person evaluation would be required to make any definitive recommendation, it appears that you underwent a short scar lollipop type mastopexy when a better option may have been a full anchor pattern mastopexy in order to remove the excess redundant skin at the bottom of your breast which is now causing the breast and implant to appear bottomed out. So,  A simple scar revision will not fix your overall problem. Nor will exchanging your current implants for larger implants.  A...

Follow your surgeons instructions
Dec 29, 2018
Thank you for your question. It does not appears as if your scar sites are ready for application of scar treatments. I strongly recommend following your surgeon's instructions. Patients often get into trouble when disregarding instructions from their surgeon. 
What are the chances of me getting necrosis on the nipples/areolas after a breast lift with no impl
Chances of necrosis
Nov 7, 2018
Thank you for your question. Although some degree of concern is expected, the risk of nipple necrosis with a breast lift is extremely low. That being said, individuals with extreme ptosis or droopiness of the breast are at an increased risk as are patients with active nicotine use. The risk of nipple necrosis is higher with a breast reduction compared to simply a breast lift. I recommend consulting with one or more board certified plastic surgeons experienced in this procedure. Best wishes!
Is it possible to switch from round breast implants to shaped?
Round vs shaped
Nov 7, 2018
Thank you for your question. At relatively low volumes of less than 350-400 cc, it is extremely difficult to tell the difference between a round and shaped implant. This has been proven in studies. I and many other surgeons are getting away from shaped implants because they are textured devices. The texturing is worrisome for many people because it has been associated with anaplastic large cell lymphoma which is a type of lymphoma that develops in the capsule scar tissue around the implant....
Do I have my ruptured implants removed and new ones?
En bloc capsulectomy
Nov 4, 2018
Thank you for your question.  I recommend undergoing en bloc capsulectomies for implant removal in order to contain the silicone rupture, and lymph node removal only if they are symptomatic (painful).  You would need an in-person evaluation for a complete discussion regarding implant removal vs replacement...the decision is completely up to you once you know what is required to achieve your desired result.  
Is removal of expander necessary when it is exposed? The hole is perfectly round size of a dime. Ot
Expander problems
Nov 4, 2018
Thank you for your question.  I'm sorry to hear of the complications you have experienced during your reconstruction process.  Unfortunately, such complications are not unusual. Reconstruction can be a challenging, long process in some cases.  When an expander becomes exposed, it is possible to salvage the reconstruction by proceeding to the operating room immediately if there are no overwhelming signs of infection (cellulits, pus, etc).  If you want both expanders removed in order to stop ...
What would be the best implant type and size? How do I determine my breast width?
Ideal implant size
Oct 24, 2018
Thank you for your question. It is difficult to use bra cup size as a determining factor in choosing implant volume. I find it helpful to determine the base width measurement of the breast, have the patient use the implant sizing system in the office, as well as provide photographs of their ideal outcome. The length of your scar is not the base width of your breast. I recommend that you be appropriately measured by your surgeon and have an in-depth consultation with him or her going...
I had an infusion in my back to my lower disc. Will that prevent a mommy makeover?
I had an infusion in my back to my lower disc. Will that prevent a mommy makeover?
Oct 24, 2018
Thank you for your question. The spinal or epidural infusion that he received should not impact your ability to undergo the Mommy makeover procedure. However, you should make your plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist aware of the treatment.
Which treatment is best fix my crepey skin under eyes?
Under eye wrinkles
Oct 7, 2018
Thank you for your question.  I generally recommend starting with Botox and laser resurfacing.  It appears that you might also benefit from filler to disguise the lower eyelid fullness.  To be sure, consult with one or more board certified plastic surgeons.   Best wishes!
Will abdominal liposuction work for me?
Liposuction candidate
Oct 6, 2018
You appear to be a good candidate for liposuction for improved abdominal contour.  However, you would not achieve skin tightening and muscle repair as you would with a tummy tuck.  Although you don't appear to have much, if any, excess skin, it does appear that you have some degree of muscle separation(rectus diastasis) as a result of pregnancy as can be seen by the bowing outward of your rectus muscles and slight protuberance of your abdomen.  As long as you have realistic expectations, li...
Is it safe to do 5 areas of liposuction under local anesthetic?
Liposuction under local anesthesia
Oct 6, 2018
Thank you for your question.  It is not so much a question of safety as it is comfort.  The max dose of lidocaine when used in tumescent fluid for liposuction is approximately 35 mg per kg.  So for the average 70 kg person, the max dose is approximately 2500 mg.  We usually put 300 mg of lidocaine in each liter of saline and most states only allow 5 liters of liposuction per procedure (1500 mg).  I have never met a single person who underwent awake liposuction who said they would do it agai...
Has my doctor not prescribed me enough pain medication for after surgery?
Pain medication after surgery
Sep 29, 2018
I recommend that you speak with your plastic surgeon about your concerns. It seems like a small prescription for the surgery you have upcoming and there may have been a mistake. 
Will 290cc silicone get me from a B to a full C?
Augmentation Mastopexy
Sep 25, 2018
Thank you for your question.  In general, approximately 150 cc will increase a patient's cup size by one.  Therefore, 290 cc should take you from a B to a full C or small D.  Without photos, it is impossible to say whether or not a donut lift is the right procedure for you.  Keep in mind that a donut lift will at least temporarily flatten the breast.  The profile of the implant should be determined by your desired volume combined with your base width.  Be sure that your surgeon is certifie...

Liposuction candidate
Sep 11, 2018
Thank you for your question. Based on your one photo, you appear to be a good candidate for liposuction of the abdomen and flanks. To be sure, I recommend Consulting with one or more board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes!

Botox in masseter
Sep 5, 2018
Thank you for your question.  The effects of Botox are temporary and will last somewhere between 3-6 months.  Repeat injections will likely be necessary in order to maintain results.  Best wishes!
