Thanks for reaching out! If your cardiologist cleared you, the surgeon you choose will reach out to them for the clearance and then you should be good to go!

How many ccs should I get for smaller implants?

Consultation
Nov 15, 2018

Thanks for reaching out and sharing photos! The size of the implant is best determined with an exam, I would suggest you bring in a few "wish photos" to your consultation and ask the doctor for his/her suggestions. As for the lift scarring, it is typically an anchor scar that fades over time!

Options
Nov 15, 2018

Thanks for reaching out and sharing photos, it might be best if you get the tummy tuck and breast aug done, then after you can have liposuction done to contour the body. As for traveling out of the country, there are a lot of risks to that. I would suggest you seek out an experienced local board certified surgeon. Best of luck! Dr. Kachenmeister

Am I a good candidate for liposuction in the stomach (only)?

Desired End Result
Nov 5, 2018

Thanks so much for reaching out and sharing photos. Not sure you would get the end result you are looking for with liposuction alone. You have slight skin laxity and with just liposuction, it would likely make that a little worse. I would suggest you discuss all options with your surgeon to see which procedures will get you an end result you will love!

Nov 5, 2018

Thanks so much for reaching out. There are definitely a few options and upper pole fullness is best achieved with an implant. But the best way to determine which procedure would give you your desired results would be to visit a few surgeons for an in person consultation so they can do an exam and discuss all options with you in detail! Best of luck! Dr. Kachenmeister

Will 800cc give me a fuller rounded appearance and what profile implant would you suggest?

Exam and Measurements
Aug 28, 2018

Thanks for reaching out and sharing photos. Implant sizing and profile is best determined at an in person consultation with an exam and measurements. 800 cc's is a very large implant, be sure to visit a few experienced board certified surgeons to learn about all options and get a few suggestions on sizing. Best of luck! Dr. Kachenmeister

What procedures would you recommend for my mommy makeover?

Mommy Makeover
Aug 13, 2018

Thanks for reaching out and sharing photos, and CONGRATS on your weight loss, that is a huge accomplishment! As for the breast lift, your surgeon can remove some tissue, lift and add an implant. I would start by going on a few in person consultations with experienced board certified surgeons to discuss all options. best of luck! Dr. Kachenmeister

Aug 13, 2018

Thanks for reaching out and sharing photos. I would recommend a tummy tuck, it would address the muscle laxity as well as the hernia and give you the best long term results. I would suggest you start by going on a few in person consultations with experienced board certified surgeons to learn about all options! Best of luck. Dr. Kachenmeister

Ideal size for 5’0" breast reduction?

Personal Preference
Jul 31, 2018

At your consultations you can discuss end result goals with your surgeon and they can suggest some sizing. Be sure to visit a few experienced board certified surgeons. Best of luck.Dr. Kachenmeister!

How long after a mommy makeover do I need assistance?

Jul 31, 2018

Thanks for reaching out, I typically suggest my patients have help for the first 5-7 days. You will need help getting in and out of bed and for other normal daily tasks. Be sure to discuss this with your surgeon and follow their post op protocols! Best of luck! Dr. Kachenmeister

Would 300cc implants be large enough for me? This is the largest the surgeon recommends. (P

hard to say
Jul 31, 2018

Thanks for reaching out and sharing photos. It is nearly impossible to say from photos alone. At a consultation we are able to do measurements and examine skin laxity and determine after discussing end result goals with the patient what a good cc range would be. I would think you could go a little bigger than 300, but there are a lot of factors that could play into that. I would suggest possibly getting a few other opinions from experienced board certified sugeons. Best of luck! Dr....
