Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Tummy Tuck Still Swollen After 8 Weeks?
Tummy tuck results.
Nov 3, 2018
Thank you for your question. It is difficult to answer your question given that there are no pre-operative photos. However,  the post operative photos on Sideview demonstrate a flat abdomen. I also think the frontal view  demonstrates a nice contour . Giving these photos I feel that you have a very good result. I think it is important for you discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon .
How long should you not drink alcohol before surgery? I am an occasional drinker.
Preoperative alcohol protocol
Nov 3, 2018
Thank you for your question. I do not think there is any actual protocol on how long to stop drinking alcohol prior to surgery. Different surgeons have different protocols and therefore it is important for you to consult with your surgeon. In my  practice I usually have patients stop drinking alcohol one week prior to their surgery. 
How can I tighten loose skin after CoolSculpting?
Abdominal skin tightening
Aug 30, 2018
You are correct in that abdominoplasty is your best option for the loose skin on your lower abdomen . It will provide you the best abdominal contouring. Coolsculpting to transformation would require multiple applications .It can sometimes be more expensive than an abdominoplasty in certain patients . An evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon is recommended.
Can I get CoolSculpting on my marionette lines on my face? Thank you
Facial Coolsculpting
Aug 30, 2018
Coolsculpting is not used for the face . Typical treatment  for marrionette folds is some type of filler or surgery . Their are many options for filler with the most popular being a hyaluronic acid . Fat transfer may also be an option . Finally , a mini facelift or full face might be indicated .Evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon is recommended.
After 17 days of fat graft when left with a fat lump, is it beneficial to press on the fat lumps again
Fat graft
Aug 30, 2018
Since you are 17 days post fat grafting applying pressure to the area against the bone may help. This usually breaks up the fat and allows reabsorption. I would recommend being evaluated by your plastic surgeon to determine what is needed . Remember that not all of the fat transferred is going to take and tjhis is early in your postprocedure period.
ThermaLift treatment: they used vitamin e with aloe oil. Is that safe and well I get better results?
Thermi Tight Treatment
Aug 30, 2018
If you have not had any adverse effects with your previous treatments than it should be ok. The  radiofrequency treatment is to  stimulate collagen remodeling to ultimately tighten the skin. I don't believe the Vitamen E and aloe  will enhance your results.Speak to your Physician if you have any questions or concerns.
My implant is too small at 3 days post-op, will it get bigger with time?
implant size
Aug 30, 2018
You are early in your postoperative recovery and changes will occur with time. The muscle and skin need to relax and the implant needs to descend into the pocket .Although the actual implant doesnot enlarge you may still be a C cup once the implant has settled .Remember all bras donot fit the same . Your previous bras may still fit but you will fill them more than before surgery. Speak to your plastic surgeon about your concerns.
2 days post-op for under left eye filler. Has the filler migrated?
filler migration
Aug 30, 2018
Filler does not typically migrate.The swelling appears to be in the area of the malar fat pad .There is some absorption of water by certain fillers and this may be what you are experiencing. More than likely this will resolve on it"s own . Consult with your physician/injector for  there evaluation and reccomendations.
Is this amount of labiaplasty swelling normal? What is this weird blood bubble?
post procedure labiaplasty
Aug 29, 2018
More than likely the medication your surgeon injected into the labia  was the local anesthetic.This insures comfort during the procedure. In my practice  I inject at the end of the procedure so my patients can get home , get comfortable, take their pain medication ,and apply their cool compresses.It appears you had some slight bleeding  and the blood you are seeing is an external clot . You should easily be able to wipe that away. Usually, lying down with cool compresses will help but if you...
Should I get more stitches or wait for healing to complete 3 weeks post labiaplasty?
labiaplasty wound
Aug 29, 2018
Allowing the wound to heal is going to be your best option at this point in time. A revision can be done at a later date, usually around 6 months. Your surgeon should be able to instruct you on wound care. The area will heal but it will take some time and patience on your part. Try not to get too discouraged. Good Luck ! 
Which procedure has the least amount of downtime while still yielding the best results?
Coolsculpting for fat reduction
Aug 12, 2018
It is not unusual to need more than one application to a particular area to see the results you are looking for with coolsculpting . It is important to maintain your weight or lose weight  if possible to see your best results . Without photos it is difficult to comment on your results . I often tell patients to concentrate on one area and get the results they are interested in achieving before moving on to another area especially if finances are a considerable issue . Seek a ...
Does CoolSculpting penetrate through the fat and into any organs?
Coolsculpting fat reduction.
Aug 12, 2018
Coolsculpting affects the external fat or pinchable fat . It does not penetrate into the abdominal fat which is also known as visceral fat . It does not hurt a hiatal hernia but if there is an umbilical or ventral hernia coolsculpting is contraindicated in that area . Insurance does not cover coolsculpting because this is considered a cosmetic procedure . Certainly there is no contraindication to coolsculpting if you are obese but  this is probably not your best option . Coolsculpting re...
Can CoolSculpting be done on your belly if you have a hiatal hernia?
Hiatal hernia and coolsculpting
Aug 12, 2018
Coolsculpting is not contraindicated if you have a hiatal hernia  Coolsculpting addresse the external fat and not the internal fat ( visceral)fat . Your hiatal hernia is internal when your other abdominal  organs are located  and therefore is not in any way affected by coolsculpting. 
What’s wrong with my healing process after my tummy tuck?
Wound healing after tummy tuck
Aug 12, 2018
Hello, it appears that you have minor skin breakdown after your  abdominoplasty .This should heal  but it may take several weeks to months . Keep the area clean and follow your plastic surgeon’s advice . Once healed you may want to use a silicone based scar gel or strip .
BA only or lift too? I have insufficient glandular tissue.
Implant or lift
Jul 6, 2018
 The first thing you want to do is make an appointment for a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During this visit your plastic surgeon will evaluate your breast size ,shape and take measurements. He or she will then be able to discuss all your options in regards to implant size and type of implants that are available .  A dual plane breast augmentation procedure may be warranted in your case. However this is a discussion that you and your plastic surgeon will have to de...
