What methods can be used to reconstruct excessively shortened labia? Can they regrow a little?
Revision labiaplasty requires patience and experience
Sep 12, 2023
Thanks for your question.Correcting asymmetry after vaginal labiaplasty when one side is smaller than the other is not an uncommon concern among previous patients. Fortunately, there are several options to address this issue effectively.Firstly, it's essential to consult with your board-certified plastic surgeon to assess the extent of the asymmetry and discuss your goals. In many cases, a revision labiaplasty procedure may be recommended. During this procedure, the surgeon can carefully...
38 years old, no pregnancies. Will Vaser lipo flatten stomach w/o laxity?
Liposuction versus Tummy tuck for a flat stomach
Jul 16, 2023
Thanks for this question. It is a common one. Choosing between abdominal liposuction and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) depends on several factors and should be made in consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. While both procedures aim to improve the appearance of the abdomen, they address different concerns. Here are some situations where abdominal liposuction may be more appropriate: Excess fat with good skin elasticity: Liposuction is suitable for patients who have localized areas of...
Awake Vaser Lipo ?
Awake liposuction was described as a "polite mugging"
Jul 16, 2023
Performing liposuction under local anesthesia alone can be a suitable option for particular cases, but it's important to understand the potential risks and limitations associated with this approach. As a plastic surgeon who performs this procedure often, it is important to understand the goals for the procedure.While liposuction under local anesthesia has advantages such as reduced recovery time and decreased systemic risks compared to general anesthesia, it also carries certain risks and...
Can liposuction be done around scar tissue?
Liposuction can be performed near scar tissue safely
Jul 16, 2023
Thank you for your question. Performing liposuction near scar tissue requires careful consideration and evaluation but it can be safely performed.Scar tissue can have varying degrees of vascularity, thickness, and adherence to underlying structures. Liposuction in the vicinity of scar tissue carries a potential risk of damaging blood vessels, nerves, or causing irregularities in the surrounding tissues.A study reported that liposuction performed adjacent to a scar can be safe and effective...
Dents and unevenness 6 months post-Vaser. What can improve this?
Contour deformities after Liposuction
Jul 16, 2023
Thanks for your question. I am sorry you’re having this experience. Contour irregularities that persist six months after liposuction can have several causes. It's important to note that liposuction is generally a very safe and effective procedure. It can, however, carry potential risks and complications. Some factors that can contribute to contour irregularities after liposuction include: Inadequate fat removal: If not enough fat was removed during the initial procedure, it can result in r...
Liposuction weight gain or fluid retention?
Weight gain is normal after liposuction...?
Jul 14, 2023
Thank you for your question. As a plastic surgeon that employs the full spectrum of liposuction treatments, this is a commonly asked question from my patients.
Temporary weight gain after liposuction can occur due to several factors. First, liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of excess fat cells from specific areas of the body. During the procedure, a solution containing fluids and medications is injected into the treatment area, which can temporarily increase fluid...
60 year old female, 110lbs, mini thigh lift 5 months ago, can anyone make suggestions on scar place
Scar placement with thigh lifts
Jul 10, 2023
Thank you for your question. Thigh lift scars are typically placed strategically to minimize their visibility and achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes.
The placement of thigh lift scars depends on the specific technique used, the extent of the procedure, and the patient's individual anatomy and goals. There are various approaches to thigh lift surgery, including medial thigh lift, lateral thigh lift, and circumferential thigh lift (also known as a lower body lift). Each technique has its own...
Can I avoid a breast lift with implants alone?
Breast augmentation and asymmetry
Jul 10, 2023
Thank you for your question. Breast augmentation with implants can potentially improve breast asymmetry to some extent, but it may not correct preexisting asymmetry completely. As a plastic surgeon, I have encountered the problem of breast asymmetry often and each treatment plan is uniquely guided by a combination of patient goals, anatomical considerations and surgical options.
Breast asymmetry is a common condition where one breast is larger or shaped differently. Alternatively, the...
Right breast not dropping. 6 months post-op
Breast Implant malposition
Jul 8, 2023
Thank you for your question. Breast implant upper pole malposition at 6 months after surgery can have various causes, and identifying the specific reason is crucial for effective management. As a plastic surgeon who specializes in breast revision surgery at Blue Ocean Plastic Surgery, I will highlight a few common factors that can contribute to this issue based on widely-accepted, published principles of breast surgery. Inadequate implant pocket creation: Improper placement of the implant...
Is it too late to change my implant size?
Bigger implants?
Jul 8, 2023
Thank you for your question. It is such a common one. Many patients experience anxiety leading up to surgery and this is entirely normal. Still, the choice of implants should be a decision based on assessment of your specific anatomy, breast type, skin characteristics, healing capacity and specific aesthetic goals. At Blue Ocean Plastic Surgery, each of these factors is considered in turn in order to select the proper implant for the specific goals of our patients. We want to empower our...
Are implants enough after weight loss to add fullness back to my naturally large breasts?
Mastopexy versus Breast augmentation alone
Jul 8, 2023
Thank you for your question. The decision to perform a mastopexy (breast lift) with augmentation versus augmentation alone is based on several factors that should be assessed on an individual basis. As a plastic surgeon who addresses this problem frequently, I consider the patient's breast anatomy, degree of ptosis (sagging), desired outcome, and aesthetic goals.If a patient has significant breast ptosis, characterized by a low nipple position and excess skin, a mastopexy with augmentation...
Considering a breast augmentation + mastopexy, but I have Factor V (heterozygous) - is surgery too
Factor V and breast augmentation
Jul 8, 2023
The decision to perform breast augmentation in someone with Factor V (a blood clotting disorder) should be made on an individual basis. Patients with Factor V may have an increased risk of developing blood clots. It is crucial to assess the patient's medical history, consult with their hematologist, and consider appropriate preventive measures such as anticoagulant therapy during and after surgery. At Blue Ocean Plastic Surgery, we typically collaborate with the patient's medical team to...
BWD and choosing implant size
Breast Width Diameter (BWD) drives breast implant selection
Jul 8, 2023
As a plastic surgeon who uses implants often, I understand the importance of considering breast width diameter (BWD) when making implant choices. BWD refers to the width of a woman's breast base, and it plays a crucial role in achieving natural-looking and proportionate results.Choosing the right implant size is a collaborative decision between the patient and the surgeon, taking into account the patient's desired outcome and the surgeon's expertise. When it comes to BWD, the goal is to...
11 months post op - what can I do about high breast augmentation scars?
Breast augmentation scars
Jul 6, 2023
As a plastic surgeon who has treated this problem in the past, I understand your concerns about the appearance of an inframammary fold (IMF) scar on the breast shortly after breast augmentation. While the IMF incision is a common technique used in breast augmentation, the development of a visible scar on the breast itself can be influenced by several factors. Here are some potential causes: Poor Scar Healing: Individual variation in scar healing can lead to the formation of a visible scar....
Have my breasts fallen since surgery? Do I need a lift?
Breast ptosis after augmentation
Jul 6, 2023
As a plastic surgeon who treats this problem frequently, I understand your concerns regarding breast ptosis (sagging) that occurs a short time after breast augmentation. While breast augmentation surgery aims to enhance breast shape and volume, certain factors can contribute to this ptosis. Here are some potential causes: Skin Elasticity: The natural aging process, combined with factors such as genetics, weight fluctuations, and hormonal changes, can affect skin elasticity. Over time, this...
