Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Aged Tummy Tuck Gives Up? Do I need another tuck?
Do I need a revision tummy tuck?
Apr 25, 2023
Thank you for your question. Based on the photos you provided, it appears as though you have a significant amount of skin laxity in your lower abdomen. Liposuction could thin this area, but lipo alone will not address the excess skin. Given you already have the scar from your first abdominoplasty, it may make sense to excise the excess skin and get back the flat abdomen you had before.
I hope this helps. Good Luck!

After DIEP flap, if radiation is required, how long will radiation be delayed?
When will I undergo radiation after surgery
Apr 25, 2023
Thank you for your question. Radiation usually begins 4-6 weeks after surgery if all goes well with your healing. If there are any issues with healing then radiation may be delayed until your surgeon is comfortable that your incisions are healed well enough to begin radiation.

If you require an revisions following your radiation (ex: fat grafting, scar revisions, nipple reconstruction), then that procedure will likely be delayed 4-6 months until your skin has recovered from radiation...

To get a lift with explant? Not sure what to expect?
Should I undergo a lift at the time of my explant?
Apr 18, 2023
Hi. Thank you for your question. Without seeing photos or examining you it is difficult to give a tailored response, but based on the information you provided I can make a few comments. If your breasts are currently "sagging", that will usually worsen after an explant. If your goal is to achieve a rounder and perkier breast shape then a lift may be advantageous. It sounds like you've already had a lift before which means your previous scars could be used to perform another lift. I would...
Want to explant 420cc, under muscle saline implants - do I also need a lift?
Is a lifted needed with my explant
Apr 18, 2023
Thank you for your question. Based on the photo that you provided, it appears your nipple position is already rotated downwards on the left breast. Following your explant, your overall breast volume will decrease and will result in further lowering of the nipple position. It is likely that a breast lift would improve your breast shape. A lift (mastopexy) would not only elevate your nipple position, but would allow for tightening of the skin to achieve a rounder, perkier shape. You may also...
Does dense breast tissue (category c) affect capsulectomy?
Dense breasts do not effect the ability to perform a capsulectomy
Mar 14, 2023
Hello and thank you for your question. The density of your breasts will not make a capsulectomy more difficult. Your breast capsule is located around the implant and is dissected off of the overlying breast tissue. During the capsulectomy the breast tissue is not entered unless your are undergoing a breast lift so the density of the breast will not play a significant role. If you have textured implants, especially Allergan biocell textured implants, I would recommend having preoperative...
Full Tummy Tuck, mini or just liposuction - how do you think I'd look?
Mini tummy tuck vs Lipo
Feb 26, 2023
Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photos, it looks like you have some laxity in your abdominal skin and a lower abdominal bulge...likely a diastasis. Liposuction would certainly help, but would not tighten the rectus muscles and repair the diastasis and therefore I think you would get a more dramatic result with a mini abdominoplasty and liposuction. A full tummy tuck is also an option but you may end up with a vertical scar from the belly button incision just above the...
Would I be a candidate for a regular tummy tuck or should I prepare for an extended tummy tuck? (photos
Tummy Tuck vs Extended Tummy Tuck
Feb 25, 2023
Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photos it looks like a traditional tummy tuck will allow for removal of all of the excess skin and fat below your belly button. And extended tummy tuck includes and longer incision and skin excision that wraps around to the sides and approaches the back to remove excess tissue in the "love handle" region. It doesn't appear as though you have a significant amount of excess tissue in that area. I hope this helps.
Best of Luck,David Light,...
5'6, 118lbs - can muscle repair in a TT over-loosen over a period of time?
Post op bulge following tummy tuck
Feb 25, 2023
Hello and thank you for your question. It is uncommon for the muscle repair to loosen overtime, though possible. Your abdomen did look flat at 3 and 6 months post op. Early recurrences of the abdominal bulge can be due to failure of the repair or use of sutures that dissolve too quickly. I doubt that is the issue given your abdomen was still flat months after sutures would have dissolved. I would return to your plastic surgeon and have him examine you and take a detailed history. Did you...
I am 42, no kids, prev lipo. Tummy tuck or lipo?
Tummy Tuck candidate
Feb 25, 2023
Hello and thank your for your question. Based on what I can see in your photos (lower abdomen views are missing), it appears you have some laxity in your abdominal skin which is contributing to the "pooch" you described. Liposuction alone will thin the amount of fat you have under your skin but I will only tighten the skin minimally. Another option to consider is radiofrequency treatments combined with liposuction to increase some additional skin tightening beyond lipo alone. If you are...
What is considered an extremely high amount to pay for mommy makeover?
Mommy Makeover pricing
Feb 25, 2023
Hello and thank you for your question. Pricing can be variable based on location and surgeon experience. Philadelphia, like NY, is a more expensive market. With that being said, your quote is on the higher side. It never hurts to go for more than one consultation. This gives you a better feel for the what different surgeons charge. You can then compare their fees to their experience and their before and after photos to see which option makes sense. I hope this helps.
Best of Luck,David...
5'1", 125lbs , 2 kids, am I a good mommy makeover candidate?
Mommy makeover candidate?
Feb 25, 2023
Hello and thank you for your question. A mommy makeover includes a procedure to enhance the breast shape and a tummy tuck. In the photos that your provided I can only see your breasts and back. Based on your overall body shape and weight I would say that you are likely a candidate for a tummy tuck, but without photos its hard to say for sure. A breast lift would reshape your breasts and elevate your nipple position. Liposuction could be performed to remove the arm pit and flank fat. If you...
Am I a candidate for a mommy makeover after 3 cesareans? Would I get good results?
Mommy Makeover after 3 C-sections
Feb 25, 2023
Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photos, it appears as though you are a candidate for a tummy tuck and 360 lipo. A tummy tuck will remove the excess lower abdominal skin, tighten the muscle layer of the abdomen if you have a diastasis (bulge) and liposuction will thin your sides and back to help define your waist. A mommy makeover would also include a breast procedure in addition to the tummy tuck. Which breast procedure you choose depends on your goals...fat grafting or...
Would I be a better candidate for a mommy makeover or just a breast reduction?
Mommy Makeover vs Breast Reduction
Feb 25, 2023
It all depends on what your goals are. Lets define what different procedures will achieve.A breast reduction will lift your nipple position and make your breasts smallerA breast lift will lift your nipple position and keep your breasts about the same size.A breast augmentation will enlarge your breasts...because your are considering a breast reduction, I don't think this is what your are looking for.A mommy makeover will include one of the above breast procedures and an tummy tuck with or...
Want multiple face and body procedures, can they be combined in one anesthesia?
Multiple procedures at one time
Feb 25, 2023
The decision on how many procedures you can do at one time depends on the length of the procedures and your overall health. If you are healthy then a number of procedures can be combined. I usually set an upper limit on operative time around 6 hours, especially if the patient is not going to stay overnight. These are rough estimates, but your deep plane facelift, cheek fat grafting and lip lift will probably take around 4 hours and the Mommy Makeover, 360 liposuction with lipo of arms and...
Is it recommended to have Cell Saver during a mommy makeover?
Cell Saver for Mommy Makover?
Feb 13, 2023
Using a cell saver for a mommy makeover or any cosmetic procedure is not standard. Blood loss from these procedures should not be that significant. I would consider working on raising your blood counts. a simply blood draw and lab test could help to identify why your hemoglobin is low (iron deficiency is a common cause) and a treatment plan can be put into place to improve your blood counts prior to surgery. I hope this helps.
