How do I know when weight loss isn’t going to help any more and surgery is needed?

Timing of Tummy Tuck with weight.
Sep 30, 2018

Hi,
Forget losing the weight for seeing if you need a tummy tuck. You do !!! Yes, you have diastasis and the muscles will be tightened to flatten your stomach. It is contributing to your presentation.
Weight loss for you after that will result in “losing in the new contours” (see web reference).
You are the ideal patient we like to see. Tissue you cannot tighten and we can do wonders with you.
Seek a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and enjoy your new changes.

Why does my surgeon keep saying to give it 2 months for final results? He said he put mother cells

Tummy Tuck and final results
Sep 30, 2018

Hi….If your surgeon told you that your “final” result will be seen in 2 months, I would wonder if you did not hear him/her right. It takes a year or so to see your final results and even longer sometimes. This procedure needs a reattachment of the redraped tissue that must occur and this takes time….more than 2 months. With your being just over a month, it is doubtful that in another month you will see too much change. Your belly button is difficult to see in closeup. If you had so…

Should I trust my surgeon to do a revision for my tummy tuck?

Mommy Makeover and revision
Sep 30, 2018

Hi, Well, you are asking Board Certified Plastic Surgeons to give an opinion on your decisions to have surgery with non Board Certified surgeons. This is impossible for us to say “go for it” when you already have a sub optimal result. Seek other opinions and go from there. This is actually an easy “fix” but it would have been best to just not have the problem. This is not to say Board Certified Plastic surgeons cannot get results that need revision but hopefully, your chances of a les…

2.5 weeks post Breast Life with Implants. Is there anything I can do to reduce my areola size? (pho

Large areolas post breast lift/augmentation
Sep 6, 2018

Hi…You are 2.5 weeks post op. This is much to early to be so worried about the size of the areolas as changes will take place but to address your question, “is there anything that can be done for larger areolas”, Yes, of course. First, talk to your plastic surgeon about your concerns. If you find that the areola complex is too large, then an outer circle of areola can be excised quite easily. Do not rush this decision as you are so early post procedure. You have a very nice resul…

I have 10D-DD natural breasts but I want the fake look. Is it possible to get this look?

Fake Breast look
Sep 6, 2018

Hi, your goal is one that we hear more than you think. Your breast tissue is full and your nipple complex is low. An augmentation alone would be a disaster for you..Double bubble in the making.You need an aggressive breast lift with a reduction of the tissue (and a reduction of the size of the areola complex) but even with that, you will not get the look of the picture you submitted. It is very difficult to get you to the breast volume that is present in the goal photo you submitted with…

Postpartum body, what can I do that to remove excess fat around belly without have a tummy tuck? (p

Tummy Tuck or not?
Sep 6, 2018

Hi, You need a Tummy Tuck and Liposuction of the love handles and probably the waist and other areas that have concentrated fatty tissue. Period. There is no sense in doing liposuction unless you are okay with a modest improvement in the volume of fat only. The excess skin left with liposuction might bother you more than you think. You are significantly heavier than your pre pregnancy weight and you might want to see if you can lose some weight before the Tummy Tuck. However, many p…

I’ve got spongebob square boobs at 6 days post op?

Square breasts after augmentation
Aug 27, 2018

Hi, Your implants have yet to settle but they are not causing the squareness that you describe and that is evident in your pictures. You will have had that flattening in the sub nipple area pre op too. Hopefully, as the implants drop, there will be some settling in this area. Usually that is the case. Check your pre op photos and you will be encouraged that the implants did not “cause” this. Time does so much for naturalness so be patient. Let your plastic surgeon know that you are …

What is This Clear Jelly-like Mucous in my Eye After a Lower Bleph 7 Days Ago? Should I Be Concern?

Swelling of mucous membranes after lower lid blepharoplasty
Aug 27, 2018

Hi….This is a minor blip in your recovery even though it seems horrible to you. Chemosis is a collection of fluid under the mucous membrane covering the eyes and this can sometimes be much more than you are having now. Steroidal drops or lubricants can hasten the absorption of the fluid and all will be fine. Having said this, it is always recommended that you present this to your surgeon and make sure that he/she is comfortable with the approach to the issue.

One of my wounds has changed color, could my incision be infected?

Suture reaction …Tummy Tuck
Aug 24, 2018

Hi…We see this many times in Tummy Tucks and other surgeries such as Breast Reductions etc. There are many sutures that are “buried” and absorb over 6 months or so. In using these we are able to avoid outside sutures that can cause “dots” ….. You have a stitch reaction. The suture that is causing this needs to be removed and with a little local anesthesia, this should not be uncomfortable. The discoloration is the healing process in motion with you producing new healing tissue. Wh…

2 weeks post op- will Sientra (385cc) textured round implants drop or get any smaller? Will they co

Breast Augmentation and implant size
Aug 23, 2018

Hi…..your feeling is felt by most patients immediately post op. I discuss this with patients pre op so they know that when the dressings are taken off on the first post op visit, they will be quiet different in size/shape than they will in the months to follow. Interestingly, many patients that are worried about the size in the initial weeks following the procedure, find themselves worrying that they will not remain big enough. So you see that there will be changes for the better for yo…

How Much Does CoolSculpting by Zeltiq Cost?

CoolSculpting and costs
Jul 22, 2018

The cost of the procedure depends upon the areas treated. Each area is considered a “UNIT”. The cost is $750 per UNIT and there is discounting for multiple areas treated. Each UNIT takes about one hour to treat. There is a formal process for the treatment with timers/etc but during the procedure, you are quite comfortable with TV/internet/SLEEP !!! Interestingly, Moms like the private time !!!!

Necrosis after 5 weeks post op tummy tuck. Options for healthy healing?

Tummy Tuck and wound healing
Jul 18, 2018

Hi…So this complication is one that occurs because the area of the redraped tissue that has the least blood supply is just above the center of the pubic hair. It is more common to see this in a smoker but it can occur in anyone. The tissue needs more blood supply than it is left with after pulling the upper abdominal tissue down and it necroses. You have a reasonable loss but I am always impressed at how all of this heals. Your belly button is very viable and this is important. Also,…

What can I do for my skin – applicator mark after CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting immediate post treatment discoloration
Jul 2, 2018

Hi, You are VERY new post treatment and the approach at this time is to stay calm and realize that an applicator bruising can be present but in almost all cases, this will fade and need no treatment whatsoever. You can discuss with your doctor but you do not need lasers or any of the treatments that we have unless this area persists and then there are many ways to approach any irregularities.

What type of noninvasive procedure can be used to get rid of love handles after a TT?

Revision of Body Contouring
Jun 29, 2018

In my practice, you would have a more aggressive liposuction and this should give a great improvement. Many times, plastic surgeons are hesitant to do more aggressive liposuction and this is fine but others feel comfortable to go after fatty tissue areas that are just waiting for that suction cannula !!!!!!

Umbilicoplasty revision, is this possible with tissue expanders?

Belly Button revision
Jun 29, 2018

Hi, If after your original surgery you had a belly button, then this would indicate that there has been a contraction of the scar outside of the belly button and it has closed. It can be adjusted under local anesthesia. If it never looked like a belly button with a depth, then you might not have had a good belly button to begin with…..and this can also be approached with local anesthesis. Attachments of the base to the rectus midline can be of great help. Discuss this with your plas…
