Lymph node under armpit 8 months after breast augmentation. Should I be worried?
New lymph node
Jun 28, 2017
Any new breast or armpit lump or mass warrants evaluation by a physician. You state the lump has been present for 1.5 months, and not gone away. Please contact your plastic surgeon now and be seen and evaluated. Good luck!

JP drain
Jun 28, 2017
Thank you for your question. It is very uncommon to have a JP drain for as long as you have with the drain output of 60-90 cc in a 24 hour period. Please contact your plastic surgeon to discuss drain management and treatment. Options for high JP drain output include reoperation or treating the drain cavity by injecting medicine.

6 years after breast reduction
Jun 28, 2017
Pain in your nipple 6 years after a breast reduction is likely not related to your breast reduction surgery. You don't mention in your question how long your nipple pain has been present. Please revisit your plastic surgeon for an exam soon to discuss your concerns about nipple pain. Good luck!
When will the sore feeling and sensitive nipples go away? 3 weeks post-op.
Sensitive nipples after breast augmentation
Jun 28, 2017
Thank you for the question. It is very normal for you to be sore and have nipple sensitivity 3 weeks after breast augmentation surgery. Be patient as you heal. Most soreness is gone by 6 weeks and nipple sensitivity between 3 to 6 months post op. Keep all post op appointments with your plastic surgeon and discuss any questions you directly with your operating surgeon. Good luck!

Post operative pain medication
Apr 30, 2017
Please feel comfortable discussing your questions with your plastic surgeon, including medication, recovery and post operative care. Definitely share your concerns and questions before surgery!

Breast implants and breast lift
Apr 30, 2017
Silicone or saline breast implants can be placed during a breast lift. Please discuss with your board certified plastic surgeon your goals, expectations and desires. During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will examine you and offer recommendations specific to your individual situation.

Return to work after breast reduction
Apr 30, 2017
Breast reductions are a very popular outpatient surgery, with return to work generally allowed 1 to 2 weeks after surgery, depending on your specific work requirements. Always discuss your post operative questions, care and return to work with your operating plastic surgeon. I give my patients detailed pre- and post-operative written instructions, and review this information at the preop visit. Best of luck!
Capsule contracture, what does it feel like?
Breast contracture pain
Apr 30, 2017
One week after breast augmentation, the pain and discomfort you describe is related to your recent breast augmentation surgery. At your post operative visit, please discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon.

Options!
Apr 29, 2017
Since you are self conscious about your breasts, by all means please consider a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. The consultation will allow you to ask questions, discuss your desires and have a full exam. With a face to see face consultation, the best treatment option for you will be determined. Good luck!

Out of country surgery
Apr 12, 2016
You are wise to think about post-operative follow-up, before out of the country surgery.   It is often difficult to arrange, and may require you to return to the operating surgeon.   Please consider a consult with a surgeon in your area, and discuss follow-up with the operating surgeon. 
Can I have CoolSculpting 2 weeks before gallbladder surgery?
Coolsculping 2 weeks before surgery
Apr 7, 2016
It is very wise of you to ask questions like this, before treatment.  Please inform both your general surgeon (who will remove your gall bladder) and your plastic surgeon (treating your abdominal fat with Coolsculpting). Proceed with abdominal Coolsculpting, if both treating surgeons give you the green light to move ahead. Good luck with both procedures and the move!
I gave birth to a baby 4 months ago but I DO NOT breastfeed. Is it possible for me to go ahead with
Coolsculpting after delivery
Apr 6, 2016
Coolsculpting after delivering a baby is possible. If you had a C-section, don't Coolsculpt the lower abdomen near or over the scar until the scar is well healed, pain free and not sensitive to touch, usually 3 to 6 months. Please follow a healthy diet and exercise, to aid in getting your pre-baby body back.  Coolsculpting is an ideal noninvasive treatment to decrease excess fat, and is now FDA cleared for treating fat around the bra, back fat and fat on the upper thigh (known as the banana...

Apr 3, 2016
Your photo shows a small amount of fat below your belly button.  I have successfully treated this area with Coolsculpting in fit active individuals, like yourself. Coolsculpting is FDA cleared to treat abdominal fat.   Coolsculpting takes one hour in a plastic surgeon's office, and this problem area will freeze away!  The average cost is $600 to $1500, depending on the size of the applicator used.  Another option is surgical liposuction with local anesthesia.  Please consult with your...
Where does new fat go after removing the cells from an area?
Where's the fat after Coolsculpting?
Sep 4, 2015
Thanks for the great question! If you gain weight after Coolsculpting, this "new" fat will be stored in your body where ever you currently have fat cells.The human body will store fat if we eat more calories than we burn off throughout the day. After Coolsculpting please maintain a healthy active lifestyle! Coolsculpting is an ideal office treatment for those pesky fat deposits on hips, thighs, and abdomen.
