Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Why can a facelift cause ears to droop and can it be prevented?
Signs of a Good Facelift
Sep 17, 2018
The things you describe (losing the natural look of side burns, cheeks looking wider, and drooping ears) should not happen with a properly done facelift. You need to discuss your concerns with your surgeon during your consultation so that they are aware of your specific concerns and can give you assurance that they will be able to adequately address them for you.
​ Can I walk for 1 hour per day after the first 2 weeks after breast implants?
Exercise After Breast Implants
Sep 17, 2018
You should be able to walk 2 weeks after your breast implant surgery, but you want to listen to your body and may need to gradually work up to an full hour. Upper body exercises must not include strenuous work such as pectorals muscle exercise until 6 to 8 weeks after surgery. Bouncing exercises are also generally restricted until after this time as well. Specific restrictions are best answered by your surgeon based on how your healing is progressing.
3 years post silicone implants. Painful lumps under areola. Could it be granulomas or a rupture/leak?
Painful Lumps Under Areola.
Sep 5, 2018
The painful lumps under your areola are most likely unrelated to your breast implants that were done 3 years ago. If I understand your inquiry, you have had a mammogram and an ultrasound which have not shown any abnormalities. An MRI will be helpful in evaluating your soft tissues under the areola as well as it can look at the integrity of your silicone breast implants. This should be the next step in your evaluation. It is possible that an open biopsy of the...
Is Botox safe for someone with chronic sinus infections?
Botox and Sinus Infection
Sep 4, 2018
It is perfectly fine to have botox injections with a sinus condition. However, if you have an acute sinus infection with fever, aches and pains, and purulent drainage, it is probably not a good idea to have any injections such as botox or fillers, until this has cleared up.
Spitting suture this late in recovery?
Spitting Sutures After Breast Lift
Aug 25, 2018
Suture spitting after a breast lift can continue for 2 to 3 months and occasionally longer. You are in this period of post operative healing. Just advise and see your plastic surgeon and do not worry. In my experience healing, even with suture spitting, continues to be as good in the final outcome as when spitting does not occur. Temporarily discontinue the scar therapy at the site of spitting until it has healed.
How would I know if the doctor removed all of my capsule?
Breast Implant Capsule Removal
Aug 25, 2018
You should voice your concerns to your plastic surgeon. If they can reassure you to your satisfaction, then nothing further is needed. If you still have doubts, a magnetic imaging study would be necessary, but even this may not be able to answer your question. You are still early enough that re-exploreing the implant pocket area to be sure all capsule is removed could be done.
Size selection. Why did my surgeon tell me he will place a size larger under the muscle?
Implant Size Selection
Aug 25, 2018
When you are trying on implant sizers in the office, you are placing them on your skin. Plastic surgeons often will choose an implant one sizer larger for the implant used in surgery because the implant is place deep under your chest tissues. The projection can be somewhat less than what you saw with the sizer on your skin surface. By going up one size we are more likely to achieve the look you like with the sizer in the office.
Revision rhinoplasty gone bad? Polly beak or swelling?
Revision Rhinoplasty
Aug 25, 2018
I reviewed your photos. The first photo appears to be a preoperative photo. The rest appear to be postoperative photos. I think you have a very nice result that still shows swelling. Swelling takes 4 to 6 months, and sometimes longer to resolve. At 4 weeks, you are still very early in the healing process, so be patient. I suspect that all will turn out very well for you. Be sure you are visiting your surgeon so that they may advise you about...
Can you restart laser hair removal again after you've stopped treatment?
Laser Hair Removal
Aug 25, 2018
You may resume laser hair removal now. Laser hair removal works on the follicles that are actively growing (not all follicles in an area are in the active growth phase). Your next treatment intervals are spaced so that active follicles are growing again. This varies from person to person and is influenced by your hormone activity and how often you shave in the area. The number of treatments necessary for hair clearance varies from person to person, but generally...
Can this can done as a rhino tip procedure?
Tip Procedure or Full Rhinoplasty
Aug 25, 2018
In reviewing your photos, it looks to me like your tip region is more bulbous than ideal and you have a cleft (depression) between the tip cartilages. You also mention a bump on the bridge which is not straight. A tip procedure would not take care of this, so if the bridge is enough of a problem, then a full rhinoplasty is necessary to balance out all areas. I think an open rhinoplasty would be necessary to deal successfully with your nose. You will need to have a...
I had a breast augmentation. My left side dropped just fine and my right side dropped a little bit bu
Breast Band After Augmentation
Aug 25, 2018
Breast Implants require 4 to 6 months to settle in position after augmentation mammoplasty. Medications such as Singulair often take several weeks to a few months to work. It is best to have your surgeon guide you through this process. If non-surgical methods are not successful, then surgical correction usually can give you the symmetry you are looking for.
My breast implants slides to the armpit, is this a problem or something that was done wrong?
Implants Too Far Apart
Aug 25, 2018
In reviewing your photos, it looks like your implants do move too far apart, especially when you lie down on your back. Fortunately, this can be corrected successfully, but does require an operation to close off the lateral portion of your implant pockets. Your surgeon can check this for you and determine what needs to be done to help you.
Can Liposuction alone fix a "hip dip"?
Hip Dips. Liposuction Alone or With Fat Grafting?
Aug 22, 2018
The hip depressions noted in your photographs would be difficult to correct with liposuction alone, although decreasing the fullness above and below the dip (indentation), could make the depression less obvious. With fat grafting at the same time, the indentation of the dip could be raised to match the surrounding areas better.
Is the T-zone wound healing properly after breast reduction?
Wound Healing After Breast Reduction
Aug 22, 2018
Wound separation at the T-Junction, such as your photographs show, happens, in my experience, in about 1/3 of patients getting breast reduction or breast lift surgery. It is best to not have the wound resutured, because of tension at the site and swollen tissues means that the wound usually just pulls apart again. In addition, closing an exposed wound, can lead to infection. When the wound separates, it is best to have your surgeon check for any sutures that may be exposed,...
What type of procedure would get rid of all of this overhang with my stomach?
Tummy Tuck for Overhang
Aug 9, 2018
Your photos show that you are an excellent candidate for a full tummy tuck. This procedure will not only correct the overhang, but will also improve the bulging of your central abdomen (diastasis of the rectus muscle). The scars for this operation are generally quite inconspicuous and are located around your navel and low down in the abdomen. In my opinion, no other procedure can correct your problem areas as well as a full tummy tuck. Make sure you have a...
