Breast Implant and Lift
Jul 31, 2019

Congratulations on your weight loss! From the appearance of your photos I would definitely recommend a lift, and smooth round implants will likely be your best option to help restore some of the fullness to the upper pole of your breasts. This can be done in a way that is very natural. The size of your implant should be based upon in-person discussions with your board-certified Plastic Surgeon, so that you feel comfortable with the volume that you are choosing to have added to your brea...

I recommend following your surgeon's recommendations regarding activity after your surgery. However, you should absolutely be able to be active and play basketball after your recovery period. Best of luck to you!

Jul 23, 2019

Your questions are very good, but they are fundamental to the plan that you should be discussing with your surgeon prior to surgery. From your photos it appears that you would likely benefit from a lift, but it may not be absolutely necessary. The sizing of your implants can have an impact on this as well. I recommend determining the best size to meet your volume goals with your surgeon, and then determine if a lift would help you reach your goals.

Sleeping After Rhinoplasty
Jul 23, 2019

Since each rhinoplasty surgery is different, I strongly recommend following your surgeon's postoperative instructions. I typically recommend that my patients sleep with their head elevated for the first 2-3 nights to help decrease swelling. I also remove splints after a week in most cases. Nonetheless, your surgeon may have reasons to recommend different postoperative care, so you should follow his or her recommendations. Best of luck!

Breast Augmentation
Jun 21, 2019

You appear to be an excellent candidate for breast augmentation to accomplish larger, fuller breasts, improve your symmetry, and accomplish what would appear to be a lifting effect. Based upon your photos it does not appear that you would need a formal breast lift, but an exam in person is the best way to determine this.

Tummy Tuck with Factor V Leiden
Jun 21, 2019

You are likely still a candidate for a tummy tuck and liposuction with your Factor V Leiden deficiency. Your history of any blood clots and the surgery that you are planning will need to be taken into account and extra precautions with anticoagulation will need to be taken, but I have done these surgeries for many patients with Factor V Leiden in the past with success. Safety is certainly the number one priority, but if appropriate caution is taken these surgeries can usually be performed.

Breast Feeding After Implants
Jun 11, 2019

With the technique that you are describing there should be no reason that your surgery would affect your ability to breast feed in the future. Best of luck to you!

Can I just get augmentation? No lift wanted.

Implants for Lifting
Jun 11, 2019

It appears from your photo that it would be possible to perform a breast augmentation with implants alone, but the question is whether that procedure would meet your expectations. In some cases my patients' expectations for the results that they seek can only be achieved with a lift as well. A consultation with a board-certified Plastic Surgeon would help you to determine the best procedure to meet your goals. Best of luck to you!

Am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty to remove a bump on my bridge?

Rhinoplasty
May 28, 2019

You appear to be an excellent candidate for a rhinoplasty. In addition to removing the hump on the bridge of your nose, your nasal tip could be better refined and rotated up slightly. This will give your nose a more feminine appearance and bring it into better balance with the rest of your face. I recommend seeking out a surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience who is able to show you before and after photos of other patients like yourself with similar goals. Best of luck to you!

Breast lift and augmentation in 2 stages or one procedure?

One or Two Stage Approach
May 28, 2019

Based upon your photos I believe that either a one or two stage approach is acceptable. Doing lifting and augmentation at the same time is one of the more complex breast surgeries that we perform as plastic surgeons. It sounds like you are doing your research. I would recommend you choose the surgeon that you are most comfortable with. Best of luck to you!

What treatment would best help get rid of cesarean pooch besides tummy tuck?

Tummy Tuck
May 28, 2019

You are correct that a Tummy Tuck is likely going to be your best option to improve your abdominal appearance. There is not going to be a non-surgical approach that will address your loose skin adequately. It's good to hear that you are watching your diet and beginning to exercise. Best of luck to you!

Can I get breast augmentation without lift? I believe I have a mild pstosis.

Breast Augmentation with or without Lift
May 14, 2019

Your question is one that I answer every day. You are correct that you have mild ptosis. While an exam in person is the best way to determine for sure, it does appear that you might be a candidate for a breast augmentation without a lift. Meeting with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who performs a great deal of breast augmentations is the best way to understand the pros and cons of each approach. Best of luck to you!

Could I get my nose to be more symmetrical without changing the way it looks?

Nose straightening
May 14, 2019

It appears that a rhinoplasty procedure would benefit the symmetry of your nose and help to straighten it. Performing an exam in person is the best way to determine exactly what type of surgery would benefit you. Best of luck to you!

I am 46, 5’4, and 140 pounds. What can I do to fix my neck post-thyroidectomy and 40 lb w

Necklift
May 14, 2019

It appears that you would be an excellent candidate for a necklift/ facelift to tighten the loose skin on your neck and lower face. The scar from your previous surgery would require an exam in person to determine the best option for you.

Liposuction, areas to treat, possible weight loss - Is this too much in one surgery? (pho

Liposuction timing
May 3, 2019

You appear from your photos to be a good candidate for liposuction as long as your weight is stable. As some others on this site have commented, there are non-surgical options that can be performed that you could consider. However, in some cases these options are inferior to the results that you can get from liposuction, and can often cost as much or more than liposuction. I recommend seeking consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who offers both liposuction and no...
