Improvements for Mommy Makeover Tummy Tuck
Jul 3, 2013
Mommy Makeover tummy tucks will remove most of the hanging skin and stretch marks in a patient such as you show in your pictures. A consultation is necessary for a proper recommendation, but generally in cases like yours, a tummy tuck would result in marked improvement of the concerns you raised.

Mommy Makeover & then Some?
Mommy Makeover, How many Procedures at Once?
Jul 3, 2013
Mommy makeovers are best done after you have lost your “babyfat” and your weight has stabilized. Otherwise you will have a lesser result, because later if you loose weight your skin will be looser, and if you gain weight then your body contour will be wider.

Because many patients find weight loss frustrating and difficult to achieve, I sometimes to a procedure such as liposuction of the flanks and excising the excess abdominal skin with the understanding that later additional…

Will a Mini Tummy Tuck Be Enough to Get Rid of Excess Skin from Pregnancy?
Mini tummy tuck advantages
Mar 21, 2013

Opinions on Size? Too Big or Ok?
Choosing Breast Implant Size
Feb 25, 2013
Choosing breast implant size is a very individualized process. It begins with a thorough discussion with your board certified plastic surgeon.

I find it helpful for patients to bring in photos from magazines of what they think they want as a result. This avoids the problems of discussion of bra sizes which can vary considerable due to differences from manufacturer to manufacturer, and because many women are wearing the wrong-sized bra.

The physical examine is done…

Nipples too high after breast reduction, can this be corrected?
Nipples are too high after breast reduction surgery
Nov 27, 2012
Your question is how to treat nipples that are too high after breast reduction surgery.

Your photos show that the lower part of your breast has “bottomed-out” and it is because of this that your nipples have rotated upward.

This cause for high nipple positon can be improved with a modified breast reduction procedure which excises additional breast and skin removal only from the lower half of your breasts. While there will be a modest reduction in your breast…

Can I Get a Tummy Tuck Minutes After Giving Birth?
TummyTuck Immediately after Giving Birth is not a good idea.
Nov 20, 2012
Tummy tuck immediately after giving birth is not done for a number of reasons.

Regardless of whether you have a vaginal delivery or a C-section, your body needs to recover from your pregnancy and a tummy tuck will prolong this process.

More importantly, you will have a new baby to take care of, and should not burden yourself with the restrictions necessary for proper post tummy tuck recovery.

Finally, it is best to allow your abdominal skin and muscle tissues to be…

Beast Implant for Reconstruction of Tuberous Breast Deformity
Nov 12, 2012
The Beast Implant for Reconstruction of Tuberous Breast Deformity depends on the size and shape of each patient’s individual breast.

Therefore, a consultation is needed to determine which breast implant and technique is best for you.

Treatment of a Tuberous Breast
Nov 12, 2012
The treatment of a tuberous breast varies considerably depending on the nature and extent of the deformity.

Tuberous breast deformity usually is bilateral, but sometimes the tuberous breasts involve one side only.

There are two primary issues. One is a constricted breast base, which is treated by release and expansion of the base, and the other is a herniated nipple areolar complex which requires a resetting of the nipple areola back into a more normal…

Is It Possible for One Breast to Swell Up More Than the Other After a Breast Reduction?
Uneven Swelling after Breast Reduction.
Nov 3, 2012
Swelling after breast reduction will cause a temporary increase in the size of your breasts and may also not be exactly the same amount on both sides.

It is important to understand that swelling varies greatly from patient to patient, and also from breast to breast in the same patient.

For this reason, I cannot say how much smaller your breasts will be when the swelling resolves, but your surgeon may be able to give you some idea as he completed the surgery before…

These tummy tuck techniques include the use of a scar similar to, but shorter than, that used for a c-section. This is often call a mini-tummy tuck.

Deciding Between Moderate Plus & High Profile Saline Implants?
Which is better moderate plus or high profile saline implants?
Nov 2, 2012
Which is better moderate plus or high profile saline breast implants?

First of all, I prefer silicone gel breast implants over saline breast implants as gel feel and look more natural.

Generally speaking a moderate plus breast implant is my preference as it results in a more natural-looking breast. The high profile breast implants tends to look unnatural, much like a cone, particularly if the volume is large.

For a round and full look you will be better off with the…

Would Saline Be a Good Choice for Us with Very Little Breast Tissue?
Saline breast implants are not a good choice for patients with very little breast tissue.
Nov 2, 2012
Saline breast implants are not a good choice for patients with very little breast tissue for several reasons.

In patients who have very little breast tissue a sub-muscular breast implant pocket is often used inorder to better disguise the implant, which still can frequently create noticeable breast implant rippling on the upper area of the implant augmented breast.

Also, unlike gel breast implants which are softer and more natural feeling, saline breast implants feel firm and…
