Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Can a breast augmentation alone help asymmetry?
Breast Augmentation for Asymmetry
Dec 7, 2019
It is very common to have asymmetry in volume as well as shape of the breasts.  Yours are minimally asymmetric and would be markedly improved with breast augmentation.  There will still be some mild asymmetry after implants are placed but it should be very minimal.
Can I have Buccal fat removal a month after Rhinoplasty?
Buccal Fat Pad Removal
Dec 7, 2019
Buccal fat pad removal or reduction can be performed either under local anesthesia after or before rhinoplasty surgery or at the same time.  Four weeks should be plenty of time.  There is no problem having it done at the same time as long as you are willing to have additional general anesthesia.  This would result in only one recovery period.  The decision shoild be made after discussion with you surgeon.
Is there a recall on Style 20 (475cc) Natrelle silicone implants?
Smooth vs. Textured Implants
Jul 28, 2019
No. Alleran smooth silicone gel implants (style 10, 15, and 20) are their Natrelle line and have not been recalled. The recall is only for the textured implants and expanders. Also, the “recall” is only for the unused implants on the shelf and there is no recommendation to remove textured implants already implemented in patients. This is a recall of unused Biocell implants (Biocell inventory and sold Biocell products) but not Biocell implants that have been used in patients who are asymp…
Belly button healing properly?
Belly Button Healing after Mommy Makeover
Feb 13, 2016
Your belly button appears to be healing as expected.  It will take many months for the scar to soften and fade.  The BioCorneum is an excellent choice for scar therapy.  Continue the same and you will be happy with the results.Congratulation on your decision!
Tummy tuck – can a doctor tell if your abdominal muscles need tightened from just a physical e
Tummy Tuck Muscle Tightening
Feb 13, 2016
Your surgeon should easily be able to tell if your muscles need tightening.  A separation between the two vertical muscles is easily felt on physical exam.As a rule of thumb, any woman who has carried a full term pregnancy or who has lost a significant amount of weight, will require muscle tightening at the time if a tummy tuck.  This is actually the most dramatic part of the operation and should always be done when indicated.  Remember that this is a once in a lifetime operation so don’t…
How much skin is my surgeon going to be able to cut? Am I going to have new stretch marks? (Ph
Stretch Mark Removal after Tummy Tuck
Feb 13, 2016
You can expect all of the skin from your pubis to your umbilicus to be removed.  From your photos, it appears that some of the side stretch marks and the few above your belly button may remain.  Those few above the umbilicus will be pulled down to the incision and could be covered with a bathing suit.  The greatest benefit of a tummy tuck is getting a flatter tummy.  Stretch mark removal is secondary.  In rare cases, more stretch marks can develop after the skin is stretched.Good Luck!
My belly button is almost completely closed after tummy tuck, is it ok if it stays closed? What shou
Constricted Belly Button Repair
Dec 25, 2013
It is possible to repair a narrowed or constricted belly button by a minor surgical procedure under local anesthesia. Most plastic surgeons are able to do this in a treatment room or small office based surgical suite.If the original opening was made too small or of the wound did not heal properly, constriction can occur. An infection is also a common cause. A repair is done for more than aesthetic reasons. A narrow umbilicus is difficult to clean and will be prone to…
I want breast implants with pulmonary embolism history…Possible?
Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism
Dec 1, 2013
Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious complication that can occur after any surgery but most commonly after operations greater than one hour, or those with prolonged immobility. The blood clot can form during surgery or even up to a week afterwards. The Caprini VTE Risk Assessment Model has been endorsed by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) as the tool to use in determining the proper risk and prevention in plastic surgery.

What Would Be the Best Approach to Correct my Asymmetrical Breasts?
Correction Of Asymmetric Breasts
Sep 29, 2013
When your two breasts are significantly different in size or shape, you typically have the following options. First of all, make sure you are no longer noticing any more changes such as changes due to pregnancy, hormones or birth control or weight loss or gain. Then you can consider either augmenting the smaller one with an implant, reducing the larger one or a combination of both. A reduction will result in scars around the areola as well as vertical scar from the areola…
Smart Lipo or Vaser or Any Other Lipo Procedures?
Cost of SmartLipo Triplex
Sep 12, 2013
SmartLipo (aka Laser Assisted Liposuction) is very effective in treating areas for stubborn fat such as previously suctioned areas and areas where the skin is moderately loose. The advantage is this technology is that it can stimulate skin shrinkage in addition to melting fat. It is not a subsitute for a tummy tuck in women who have had children and have loose abdominal skin and stretch marks.

Could my Saline Implant Be Slowly Leaking?
Slow Leak vs. Normal Swelling?
Jul 28, 2013
It is unlikely that you implant is leaking. During the first week to months after a breast augmentation, the swelling and tightness will slowly decrease.

The incision around the areola is a good choice for women with large, dark colored areolae. If the size is small, there will be a lot of stretching on the tissue while inserting the implant and therefore worse scarring.
