Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
47, African American, 6', 240lbs, DDD cup, are there any other options for me if insurance won'
Options if insurance will not cover the surgery
Oct 24, 2023
If your insurance will mot cover the procedure there are three possible options for you. First is paying for the procedure out of pocket as a cosmetic operation. That may not be a possibility, but is always an option. The second is to find out how your insurance determines eligibility. A lot of the time weight is considered, and the more someone weighs the more they require to be removed. You could ask them what you would need to weigh in order to qualify based on the estimate that was made...
How would weight loss after breast reduction surgery affect my results? Would this be noticeabl
Possibly
Oct 24, 2023
Breast size changes with weight loss vary from person to person so it is hard to predict what will happen with weight loss. The simple answer is to lose the weight before have the breast reduction surgery and that will really take the guesswork out of it.
Will the suggested amount my surgeon is removing be enough to yield satisfactory results?
It depends
Oct 24, 2023
The answer to your question depends on what you are really asking. Only you know what a “satisfactory result” is for you and your situation, so it is essentially impossible to give you a yes or a no without knowing what satisfactory looks like in your opinion. You would probably benefit from a discussion with your surgeon regarding your hope for an outcome and ask him/her to explain what you could reasonably expect from the procedure they are anticipating.
Would a breast lift help me achieve perky breasts? 3 previous pregnancies, weight loss, and bre
Breast lift.
May 7, 2023
I guess the answer depends a lot on how you define perky. A lift alone will move the breast higher on your chest and create a more youthful look. However, it will not provide fullness in the upper breast to create the full rounded look that you would only get with an implant. The breast volume will probably change very little, but it will probably fit in a smaller cup bra after the surgery, and it will look smaller (even though it really isn’t) because less vertical breast will be visible w...
How long should I wait after an arm lift procedure to have knee replacement surgery?
Knee replacement after arm lift b
May 7, 2023
I would recommend you wait at least six weeks from the time of your arm surgery. That should give the tissue time to heal strong enough to tolerate minor trauma such as crutches, if that became necessary for you. Waiting longer is certainly better because it gives everything more time to settle and become comfortable.
Is there a way to surgically change the distance between the insertion point of the biceps brac
Changing muscle insertion
May 7, 2023
The short answer is no. It would not be advisable to change its insertion because of its negative effect on the muscle function
Arm lift and/or lipo options?
Arm lift options.
May 7, 2023
Each option you mentioned has different good and bad things about them. For example, a more aggressive full brachioplasty is the most invasive and leaves a long scar on the arm. However, it will be the most reliable way to provide a significant result. The least invasive option will give the least impressive result, but you will avoid more visible scarring. You can base your decision on how much of the “bad” you are willing to accept to get the “good” you are hoping for provided by a particu...
Which procedure would deliver the best results for arm reduction and help me achieve my goal lo
Arm reduction after weight loss
May 7, 2023
After losing 100 pounds most people with loose skin in the arms need a full brachioplasty surgery. There are some nuanced aspects of that procedure that your surgeon can evaluate and discuss when you are ready to move forward.
Can a mini arm lift tighten the sagging skin in my armpit ?
Mini arm lift
May 7, 2023
A mini arm lift might work well for you. You can test it yourself by pulling the skin near your armpit up into your armpit. If that corrects what is bothering you without having to put excessive tension on the skin then it will probably be a good option.
2 years post breast reduction - Would implants help me achieve better shape and hide previous s
Implants after breast reduction
May 7, 2023
You could certainly add implants to improve fullness in the breasts. However, you are now taking a step back and will have a larger breast, which was presumably causing symptoms that led you to the reduction in the first place. So I would approach that cautiously.
I would not anticipate that the implant will hide the scars seen in your photos.
Cancer came back in the same spot 5 years after Mohs Surgery. Any options?
Cancer recurrence
May 7, 2023
Your best option is to repeat the Mohs procedure. Recurrent skin cancer can be a bit sneaky and hard to see its full extent. I would strongly recommend you have it removed with a Mohs technique.
Breast implant removal - capsule removal BII
En bloc or not
May 7, 2023
To my knowledge there is no scientific evidence supporting the need for en bloc capsulectomy. My experience would also mirror that.
Lump under skin, back of thigh, invisible on MRI. Is this a lipoma? What else could it be?
Lump under skin
May 7, 2023
Hard to say what it may be. There aren’t really things that are “invisible” on an MRI. To me that simply means it looks like normal tissue on the MRI. If it is something that you can feel it could certainly be removed.
Am I a candidate for limited incision brachioplasty, any nonsurgical choices?
Brachioplasty
May 7, 2023
A pretty good rule of thumb for body contouring procedures is that minimal procedures provide minimal results. If you would be satisfied with a little bit of improvement then small scar or noninvasive treatments, such as radio frequency therapy, may be perfect, however, if you are hoping for dramatic change you will likely need a more aggressive approach.
Would a breast reduction take care of back pain and make finding bras easier?
Breast reduction and back pain
May 7, 2023
Based on your photos it seems a breast reduction would help with your symptoms. That being said, neck and back pain can have several causes, so relief from the pain cannot be guaranteed. Breast reduction surgery will decrease the size of the areola, but by itself, however, does not decrease the size of the nipple. A nipple reduction procedure would help with that. Insurance will often cover a breast reduction, but will not cover the cost of the nipple reduction so you should anticipate that...
