I had implants 395 cc with a lift want to remove implants and just get a lift, is this possible

Your breasts can be pretty after implant removal
Apr 18, 2017

Yes, you can have your implants removed and your breasts can look pretty and normal. What procedure will get you the look you want is best determined by an in person consultation. I remove a lot of implants with minimal or no new scars.

Is muscle repair standard with a Tummy Tuck?

Muscle repair is often part of a tummy tuck
Apr 17, 2017

While it is impossible to say that absolutely every tummy tuck requires or includes a repair of the separated rectus muscles, in general, the pregnancy that stretches out skin, also stretches the muscle layer causing rectus diastasis. When diastasis is present, it should be repaired.
You should absolutely ask this question of anyone you are considering having operate on you. In our office, the entire procedure is explained during the consultation and repair of the muscle as well as belly…

Does CoolSculpting Really Work?

Yes! CoolSculpting works!
Mar 4, 2017

CoolSculpting absolutely works to permanently decrease the number of fat cells in the treated area. This is important because we make no new fat cells as adults. We gain weight by increasing the size of the cells we have. And we as we lose weight, fat fells shrinvk in size, but the NUMBER of cells does not change with weight fluctuation. CoolSculpting is the best and most predictable way to decrease the number of fat cells without invasive techniques or surgery. And it works better IMO than…

How Long is the Recovery Period for Full Tummy Tuck?

Recovery from Tummy Tuck can take 6 weeks
Feb 3, 2017

Tummy tuck is a big surgery and planning for your recovery is really important. I tell patients to expect that they should be able to stand up straight at one week, return to a desk job at 2 weeks, need more sleep than usual for 6 weeks and have some swelling that improves over several months after surgery. I like to see my patients often enough that I can help guide them as they return to normal activities like exercise and work. Patients all heal differently and so recovery instructions …

Tummy tuck after CoolSculpting.

American Board of Plastic Surgery is a must
Dec 4, 2016

There are several important criteria to consider in choosing a surgeon for your tummy tuck. The first is that they must be certified specifically by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Rhetoric second is that you should feel really comfortable with the surgeon’s bedside manner and how well she or he understands your concerns and explains the process of the surgery. Look at photos of their surgical results. Sometimes speaking to other patients in the practice can also help. Online review…

Tummy tuck 16 days ago – drains out 3 days ago and have developed a low grade fever 99.3 – 100.

Low grade fever after surgery should be evaluated by your surgeon
Dec 4, 2016

I can’t tell you from far away whether or not you should go to the emergency room for a low grade fever. I can tell you that you should insist on being seen by your surgeon. Evaluating fever in a patient who is so fresh post op is pretty much the standard of care. I also cannot tell whether you need to be seen on the weekend, that should be determined by a discussion with your operating surgeon. I am sorry that you are in this situation, and encourage you to be firm on being seen by him,…

How much would it be to get a tummy tuck in the Bay Area?

There are different types of abdominoplasty procedures
Nov 28, 2016

Congratulations on your weight loss. What you are describing is the most basic of tummy tuck procedures. Different surgeons have different pricing. During a consultation, you should have all of your questions answered and learn about what results you can expect with the various surgical options. If you believe this quote is high, a second opinion may help you better understand your options. Good luck with your process.

Breast Implant and Tummy Tuck Revisions Needed?

Healing time after a mommy makeover
Nov 26, 2016

It is so hard to tell from photos what is going on. However, you do seem to have some asymmetry in your breasts and swelling in the abdomen. It may be worth getting a second opinion now to set your mind at ease.

I had CoolSculpting a week ago on the lower flanks, no soreness or pain during procedure. Was i

CoolSculpting does not have to be painful to work
Nov 14, 2016

As a matter of fact, the best reason to have CoolSculpting, besides the fact that it actually works, is that it causes minimal discomfort. While some patients can have tenderness and swelling for up to 3 weeks after the procedure, there are many who don’t. And with the new CoolAdvantage and CoolAdvantageplus applicators, the swelling and tenderness is much less frequent. As on of few centers in the country with the opportunity to work with the new CoolAdvantage plus applicators, we can…

No pain after cooladvantage

CoolSculpting is often pain free
Oct 28, 2016

Love this post! Yes, CoolSculpting can cause the types of *shock* pains you were expecting, most commonly on the belly, rarely on the flanks. But it does not happen in all patients, only some. And, the new cooladvantage applicators have a lower incidence of this delayed onset pain. I am also excited to say that as one of the 7 centers across the country to be given the opportunity to work with the new fabulous CooladvantagePlus, I can tell you the fabulous results can happen with even less…

40lbs from ideal goal weight – is CoolSculpting for me?

CoolSculpting can often boost your weight-loss results
Oct 16, 2016

Congrats on your hard work. CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss procedure, but it can absolutely boost what you have achieved so far, reshaping problem areas that may still detract from your success. I can’t speak to the specific treatment plan you have already been given, but there is no question that CoolSculpting helps patients, even when not yet at goal weight .

Is it true that coolsculpting doesn’t work on people who had lipo in the past?

CoolSculpting absolutely works, even with past liposuction
Oct 9, 2016

CoolSculpting reduces fat. Liposuction does too. But neither process removes all the fat cells from the treated area. Bear in mind that weight gain means your body is holding more fat in all your fat cells, including those still there after lipo or CoolSculpting. Bear in mind that a well designed CoolSculpting plan probably requires more than one applicator cycle and without knowing what you received, it is hard to comment on your CoolSculpting experience. But it absolutely works. K…

Do you think the bulge in my lower abdomen is swelling, popped stitches, and will it resolve? (

At 4 weeks after tummy tuck you still have swelling
Oct 5, 2016

It is possible to see your area of concern in your photos. Without examining you though it is impossible to tell if this is normal swelling, a collection of fluid or seroma, loose skin or muscle looseness. However, your surgeon has done a great job of taking out extra skin without making a fleur de lis incision. My suggestion is that you follow up as your surgeon has requested and that you give yourself more time to heal. Enjoy your results
