Doctor's answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
What kind of nose treatment would you recommend for the bridge of my nose?
Fix the Bridge
Sep 10, 2020
I would recommend you see a few Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in your area. There are many options available, but it is hard to detail these options from the single photo that you submitted.

You might be interested in a liquid rhino which can sometimes hide a large bridge, but will not help with the smiling droop. A full surgical rhinoplasty can fix both.

It's best to seek out an experienced surgeon who can review all of your options.

I'm 5'3 and 110 lbs. Would 485ccs give me breasts with more volume that aren't huge and distracting?
Is 485 too big?
Jun 5, 2020
Based on the photos that you have provided, I would be very cautious about putting in 485cc implants.  Those would probably be too big.However, you really need an exam with measurements to choose an implant that fits your chest size.  Some surgeons will place large implants in a small width which will cause problems eventually.
Enough skin laxity for full tummy tuck with low incision?
Tummy Tuck without vertical scar
Jun 5, 2020
I would agree with others here, it looks like you would be fine without a vertical scar.  Your belly button looks to be low enough to make this happen.
Kybella or Coolmini? Getting rid of under chin fat
Under chin tightening
May 28, 2020
You might want to consider the new Evoke.  We are the first to offer it in the San Antonio area and its perfect for people like you.  Completely noninvasive and no downtime.  It tightens more than the cool mini.  We do both, because cool mini is better in people that have A LOT of fat.
Kybella or lipo for my double chin?
Fix a Double Chin
Apr 13, 2020
One of the downsides of Kybella is that it can take multiple treatments to get your result.  Another downside is the swelling that you would have for about a week after.There are other options besides lipo:CoolSculpting with the CoolMini head.  May also take more than 1 treatment, but there is no downtimeFaceTite/NeckTite - you also get significant skin tightening with only 1 treatment, but you will have about a week of swellingEVOKE - a new non-invasive way to tighten your skin and reduce f...
Can my belly button have a revision after my procedure two years ago?
Umbilical Revision
Mar 16, 2020
It is possible to revise the belly button.  Have you shown it to your Plastic Surgeon?  You will want your surgeon to make sure that you do not have an umbilical hernia.
Does a substantial diastasis recti and an umbilical hernia make it more difficult to repair my belly
Tummy Tuck and Hernia Repair
Mar 3, 2020
We routinely fix umbilical hernias at the time of tummy tuck.  It may add a little extra to the operating time, but it's better than doing 2 separate operations. 
I am wondering about the tummy tuck procedure and the use of drains, how are they removed?
Scary drains
Feb 14, 2020
I would recommend you seek out a BCPS who performs a Drainless Tummy Tuck/Mommy Makeover.  I have been doing the drainless technique now for about 4 years.  It takes a little longer in the OR, but patients are much happier and in less pain than with the drains.  Not all Plastic Surgeons perform the drainless because that is not how they were trained.  They also worry about fluid collection.  But in my several year experience I have only had 1 patient with a fluid collection.  We draine...
Can I get 565cc implants?
Too Big?
Feb 14, 2020
If your measurements are correct, that does seem to be too big to me. I try to stay close to the base width that I measure for the width of the implant.  Where is the extra 2.5cm going to go?  If the implant gets squeezed horizontally then it would extend vertically and that winds up looking oblong.  
Do doctors ever perform breast implant surgery and facelift surgery in the same setting?
Lift your face and make your breasts larger at the same time?
Jan 31, 2020
It is very common for me to perform multiple procedures at a single setting.  Patients like it because is allows them to have one recovery period so they can save up their vacation time.  But, there are some situations where I feel it is better to stage the procedures.  There are many factors that go into this decision.What will the total operating time be?  If we are trying to do the procedure as an outpatient, we do not want to have a long anesthetic.  Are you healthy enough for a longe...
Am I a candidate for a mini tummy tuck or should I try something nonsurgical to address belly fat &am
How to get rid of loose skin after weight loss
Jan 27, 2020
Congratulations on your weight loss!To make the decision you really need an in person consultation.  There are a lot of factors to consider to help decide whether or not you would be a candidate for a non invasive or minimally invasive procedure.I would recommend seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has a variety of non invasive, minimally invasive, and invasive techniques.  That way you can get an honest opinion on what may or may not work.
Is a tummy tuck necessary or can I solely have liposuction?
Lipo or Tummy Tuck
Jan 9, 2020
It really depends on your goals.  Would you be happy with just reducing the thickness of your fat, or do you want to be super tight and correct a separation of your muscles? From your photos, it looks like you would be a good candidate for lipo.  If you want to maximize the skin tightening, you may want to look into the BodyTite procedure.
I am 5’7” and 165 pounds. Opinions on 650 cc?
Will I sag?
Oct 25, 2019
It is difficult to tell without an in person exam what degree of ptosis you have.  I think you are at high risk for sagging breast tissue after augmentation.  650cc is very large and can have a tendency to put a lot of strain on your tissues.You might want to consider a minimally invasive lift to help things out.
Should I get a normal TT or FDL?
FDL or TT
