Doctor’s answers

Question

Answer Header & Date

Answer Snippet

Will my breast augmentation scars get better?

Scars that are 1.5 years old
Apr 24, 2017

Scars that are 1.5 years old will no longer improve. I don’t think that you should count on much improvement even with more therapies. Avoid expensive treatments as I don’t expect much improvement at all. You have healed the scars well but they seems to be so long. Please check with your surgeon if you have textured implants, if you do follow the advice on my blog

Will my mons ever go back to normal or is my only option to pay to have it fixed?

Liposuction
Jan 26, 2017

After two years it is unlikely that any change will occur. Fortunately this area is often treated successfully with liposuction or direct excision of tissue. Visit a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for a consultation.

What’s the right size breast implant?

your new size
Jan 26, 2017

Hi Britt, thanks for your question. 485 cc on your little frame seems too large since you already have a c cup. I noticed a significant droopy shape with your nipples looking down. You should seriously consider a breast lift with a much smaller implant . Repeat your consultation or seek another one.

Smoking 3 cigarettes 11 days before my BA?

Smoking?
Nov 21, 2016

For a BA smoking is not too much of an issue, but for a breast lift it’s a huge issue and your surgery needs to be delayed.

The opening of my drain site is suddenly leaking stuff down my hip quite a bit. Is this normal?

Leaking after lipo
Nov 21, 2016

Heather we do not have enough info to give you even a guess. Call your Doc and he will guide you through your recovery.

Please advise me what to do. 1st picture is pre-operation. He admits that everything looks ok! (Photos

Something is wrong
Nov 21, 2016

Please have your surgeon re-evaluate you. It is very uneven and you had almost no asymmetry before.

I just got top lip filled with juvederm yesterday for the first time. Is this what it looks like? (pho

poor balance
Nov 21, 2016

Please see your injector next week and ask to balance to under-filed lower lip. The lower lip needs to be fuller relative to the upper.

Can I get all these procedures done at once?

Too much surgery in one setting?
Nov 16, 2016

Colon, it is not the amount of surgery that is critical, but the overall setting. If you are young (in your 20s) in excellent shape, and your surgery is done in an appropriate setting by an experienced surgeon then a single long operation can be done. If you are older,with a few health problems, and your surgeries are more complicated and the setting is in a small clinic with little backup and your surgeon is challenged by the difficulty of your case then horrible things can go wrong. You…

5 Days post op BA submuscular bruising worsening, hematoma or normal?

Hematoma ?
Nov 16, 2016

Hi Kelso, Obviously there has been some bleeding in your tissues. The bruising shows that some blood has collected in your surgical site. Usually a little is well tolerated and will not require more surgery. Check with your surgeon in Miami at your next appointment

This is a scar from when I was a newborn. Can it be fixed?

A tummy tuck
Aug 19, 2016

You are a great candidate and your deformity will be completely corrected. Go and make an appointment with one of the many great PSs in Vegas

I’m 4’11, 134lbs. I’ve had 3 c-sections, a hysterectomy & have hanging skin. Would I benefit from a pa

I do not think that this is a good choice
Aug 19, 2016

Hi Green bean. Obviously the two thing you need are weight-loss and an abdominoplasty. There are many excellent plastic surgeons in your community. Please schedule a visit after some weight loss.

Can you get your nipples shaped like a star or a heart?

Star shaped nipples
Aug 19, 2016

This kind of work is usually done in tattoo parlors. I do not know any respectable plastic surgeons that would offer this bizarre option.

12 weeks po mini tummy tuck with Lipo. Happy with my results when standing but not when sitting. (Phot

Lipo for fat
Aug 19, 2016

In about 2-3 months you should have the fat removed via liposuction. Talk to you surgeon about this option. (this could not be done at the same time, but can safely be done in a few months)

What would I actually need to do in order to get the best results ?

There are a number of things you can do to improve your results
Aug 19, 2016

Try to maximize you fitness level and get your BMI as close to ideal as possible. Work on your core musculature to make it as strong as possible. These two pre-op measures are highly effective to get a superior result

Marijuana 3 weeks after gyno surgery.

Pot smoking
Aug 19, 2016

You already know that pot smoking makes your condition worse. It seems silly that you want to resume the very thing for which you had the surgery. I think the answer is obvious
