Doctor’s answers

Question

Answer Header & Date

Answer Snippet

Is subcision safe on a 2 year old?

scar in a two year old.
Dec 30, 2014

I suggest that you do nothing for the time being. At age two the mark is not bothering your child. Unless it is getting worse (and I can’t tell what the cause of the atrophic mark is) you are unlikely to help it with whatever you are using.

Can you get a breast lift & reduction in the same procedure?

painful large breasts.
Dec 30, 2014

During a breast reduction a patient also gets a breast lift. The nipples are moved higher on the chest wall as part of the surgery.From your complaints, it sounds as though you would be a good candidate. Although you are 15 years old, your breast size has been stable for three years. I suggest that you have your parents take you to a plastic surgeon who is familiar with this surgery.

I can’t take them anymore. What can I do?

breast problems
Nov 24, 2014

It is obvious from the photo that you would benefit greatly from a breast reduction. I suggest that you find a board certified or board eligible plastic surgeon and have him or her explain your options.If you have health insurance, you might be able to have this surgery covered, but you would need a predetermination that the surgery was a benefit for you.Good luck.

How much weight do I need to gain for body fat transfer to buttocks?

Fat gain for injections to buttocks.
Nov 17, 2014

You have a great looking figure and are trim. I suggest that you forego the fat injections and proceed with breast implants. I see no advantage to gaining weight to have fat injections. If you are determined to have buttock augmentation, I suggest finding someone who is familiar with, and has placed, buttock implants.

Is my BBL goal realistic?

Candidate for fat injections to buttocks.
Nov 17, 2014

40% of fat injected is resorbed, or goes away with time. From your photos, height and weight, I do not think that you have enough donor fat to make the operation worthwhile.

I noticed a small seroma today, 5 days post op. How soon can you go back to the doc to have it drained

Seroma after surgery
Nov 17, 2014

I suggest you call your surgeon right away. You haven’t provided many details about this, but I try to drain these as soon as possible.

Am I at risk of pulmonary embolism after surgery, and is there a way I can be screened beforehand?

Risk of pulmonary embolism
Nov 17, 2014

Many physicians routinely screen patients to determine if they are at higher risk for pulmonary embolism. My patients fill out a questionnaire concerning family history and risk factors and dependent on the results of the it may be necessary to treat the patient with anticoagulants or aspirin. I suggest that you discuss this important matter with your physician before surgery.

Swelling after breast reduction and stitches. How long does it take for the stitches to come out? (Pho

Stitches following breast reduction
Nov 17, 2014

From the photo, it looks as though your surgeon closed the skin incisions with chromic, or catgut stitches. I usually remove any that remain after about 10 days, but I suggest that you ask your surgeon what his or her preference is, and I would not remove them myself.

When will this droop go away?

Problems with BOTOX.
Nov 17, 2014

BOTOX typically lasts 12 weeks, assuming that the injector used the doses suggested by Allergan. If your problems are truly from a BOTOX injection they should resolve in the next few weeks. If they do not, I suggest that you consult an ophthalmologist since you are having symptoms of pain and blurred vision.

Is it better to see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to administer Botox for frown lines between the

Who is best to inject BOTOX.
Nov 17, 2014

I think that the specialty of the person injecting BOTOX is less important than whether he or she understands the function of the muscles that are being injected and the physician has experience in administrating BOTOX.I see quite a few patients that have been injected elsewhere, and it is obvious to me that some injectors are clueless as far as what muscle does what.You could ask a potential physician what muscles are injected and what do those muscles do. If you get hesitation on the…

Botox for permanent wrinkles removal?

Permanence of wrinkle removal.
Nov 17, 2014

BOTOX typically lasts 12 weeks. After it wears off the muscles between your eyebrows will become active and contract, causing the wrinkles to reoccur. So I don’t think that 4 applications of BOTOX is a permanent solution.

Alternatives to periareolar gynecomastia surgery technique for gland removal? (26 m, pubertal)

periareolar gynecomastia surgery
Nov 10, 2014

In general it is difficult to remove glandular tissue except through a periareolar incision. It is tough tissue and can be hard to aspirate, as in suction lipectomy. Having carried out quite a few periareolar excisions, I find that the vast majority of patients are satisfied with the scar, although it will take up to one year until it is totally mature. Also, even if the scar is less than optimal, patients are so happy with the improved contour of their chest that they find the scar…

How can a teenager lose breast fat?

Breast tissue in a 14 year old FTM patient.
Nov 10, 2014

I agree with Dr. Webster. It may be premature to decide that you are transsexual. I suggest that you confide this thought to your physician, and perhaps to your parents, if they are likely to be supportive. Unfortunately there are no exercises that will make your breasts smaller and at age 14 they may well get larger with time.I wish you well and hope that things work out for you.

How can I remove a dent scar in my nose? And what treatment is it?

scar on nasal tip.
Nov 10, 2014

This is a bad place to have a scar. Usual scar revision techniques may leave you worse off than you presently are because the cartilages of the nasal tip are firmly adherent to the overlying skin and therefore scars on the nasal tip, even from a revision, tend to be wider than we would like. I would have to examine you in person to give you your best option. If the scar is raised (you mentioned pointed) and shadows form below it, so the shadows make it more noticeable, it might be optimal to…

Want to remove stitch mark from my face. Can you tell me what treatment is best?

scar between eyebrows.
Nov 3, 2014

Unfortunately, humans heal with scar formation and some scarring will always be present. Nevertheless, the area could be revised, with incorporation of a w or z plasty, which would break up the length of the scar and make it less noticeable. Also, the revision is planned and any adhesions that exist between the skin and underlying muscles could be released, which will also make the scar lie flatter and more in the plane of the skin of the area.
