Fat Transfer to Breasts
Nov 28, 2018

Fat transfer to breasts is an alternative to the use of breast implants for augmentation. To get the desired upper pole fullness that you described with fat grafting, the breasts cannot be droopy.

Recovery from facial fat grafting versus fillers

Hysterectomy & Vaginal Tightening
Oct 8, 2018

A hysterectomy removes the uterus but leaves the vagina in place and relatively unchanged. Vaginal tightening is done by reconstructing and tightening the pelvic floor muscles at the opening.

Vaginal Tightening
Jun 10, 2018

No matter what the cause of repeated vaginal stretching (child birth or sexual acts), eventually there can be either a disruption of the musculature of the vaginal opening or musculature that is stretched beyond its functional capacity. These muscles can be repaired through vaginoplasty and reconstruction of the muscles at the vaginal opening. The external appearance can also be addressed through labiaplasty. Dr. B.

Tip Rhinoplasty
May 23, 2018

A tip Rhinoplasty refines the tip of the nose. The results are affected by the tip cartilage quality (strength) and the thickness of the nose skin.

In other words, sometimes you do more to make it appear like less was done. That is especially true of nose surgery. Dr. B.

Do implants always sit real high when first put in?

Breast implants sit high right after surgery
May 12, 2018

When placed under the muscle, breast implants have a tendency to first appear positioned high and sometimes squared at the top. This is very temporary and normalizes to a pretty shape as your skin and muscle adjust to the increased volume of your breast. On the other hand, when the implant is not placed under the muscle, the initial appearance after surgery is more natural. However, there is a slightly increased risk of capsular contracture long-term that should be taken into consideration...

Broken & Crooked Nose
May 12, 2018

Shortening the Nose
Mar 30, 2018

You've made the correct assessment of what features of your nose are causing a problem. In the profile view,1. Your tip projects too far out from your face and 2. The tip drops down too far.

Mild Tuberous Breasts

You have a mild form of Tuberous Breasts.
