Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
In regards to swelling after liposuction, does it only occur in the operated areas, or all over the enti
Swelling After Liposuction
May 6, 2017
Thank you for your question. Swelling should be localized to the area of your liposuction after 10-14 days. It’s normal for all tissues to swell after surgery but in a short time this subsides. Swelling in the area of liposuction should be easily concealed in normal clothes. I hope this helps and good look on your procedure.
My right breast has increased in size. Doctor didn’t offer authorization for mammogram. What should I do
Increase In Breast Size
May 6, 2017
Thank you for your question. Any asymmetrical increase in size of the breast in your adult years should be evaluated. The vast majority of the causes are benign, but I wouldn’t ignore the finding. Physical exam is the first step, but lack of finding on physical exam should warrant further evaluation. This may be an ultrasound or even mammogram. I would start with your primary care physician. Good luck to you and I hope this helps.
I am 12 days tummy tuck post op and my new belly button is not looking good. Please advise?
Belly Button Healing
May 6, 2017
Thank you for your question and pictures. I understand your concern from the look of the pictures. However, you really need to be examined to tell the extent of any necrosis (tissue death). Quite frequently there is some superficial scabbing at the belly button that can easily come off leaving healthy tissue. I would get back in to your plastic surgeon to be evaluated but in the meantime I would suggest keeping the area clean and dry. Thank you for your…
Can I get a tummy tuck or is there something else that can help?
Tummy Tuck
May 6, 2017
Thank you for your question. From the description, you really don’t like your vertical scar from c-sections. Of course you would have to be examined to be sure, but it is common to remove that scar during a tummy tuck. Remember that you would essentially be trading the vertical scar for a bikini line scar. I would suggest getting a consult with a plastic surgeon as by your description you would likely be a very good candidate. Best of luck!
Is my belly button closing – 3 weeks post op from a TT.
Belly Button
May 4, 2017
Thank you for your question. The treatment plan sounds reasonable as it is quite normal for there to be some slough at the belly button. By the pictures it all seems open. If there is some sclerosis (closing) of the belly button then this can be revised later. Personally, I wait until everything is healed to maximize the chance of success with a revision. I hope this helps.
What is this?
Bruising After Surgery
Apr 30, 2017
Thank you for your question. From the picture, it appears this is a small bruise near your incision. This is common and and doesn’t appear to be anything troubling. I would address it at your follow-up appointment, but will likely dissipate rapidly. I hope this helps.
I am 3 weeks post TT, and I’m still really constipated, I have to use suppositories , enemas, etc. Just
Constipation After Surgery
Apr 30, 2017
Thank you for the question. This is a common issue after any surgery in which narcotics are given for pain control. The modalities you describe aren’t addressing the problem which is already in your bowels. I would suggest an oral laxative which should clear your system. While suppositories and enemas clear the downstream blockage, the upstream blockage may still be present. I would check with your surgeon for their preferred approach. Good luck and I hope…
Will my capsular contracture happen to both sides?
Capsular Contracture
Apr 30, 2017
Thank you for your question. Capsular contracture is a difficult problem as one can not predict if it will happen to the other side or not. If the right side is already starting to feel like the left, then it is reasonable to undergo capsulectomy (removal of the scar tissue around the implant) of the right side at the same time as the left. The recovery shouldn’t be much more difficult with bilateral capsulectomies versus one side. I hope this helps and good luck on…
Day 17; My breasts are uneven. Should I worry this early?
Breast Healing
Apr 30, 2017
Thank you for your question. It is too early to assess your final results at only 2 weeks after surgery, especially with an augmentation mastopexy surgery. I’m sure you will see changes over the next several weeks. It is a good idea to get back in with your surgeon to discuss the results and the expected changes over time. I hope this helps.
Will breast implants help to alleviate this crease in my chest?
Chest Crease
Apr 30, 2017
Thank you for your question. I see your crease, but it is difficult to assess the cause and potential resolution without a full exam and consult. I would suggest setting up a consult or consults to better assess and come up with a surgical plan to address your issue. I hope this helps.
Bruises under eyes and mouth after upper and lower blepharoplasties and fat injections.
Bruising After Facial Surgery
Apr 30, 2017
Bruising is common and normal after the surgery you describe. The timeline for resolution varies greatly among patients. Best of luck on your recovery.
I had a vertical tummy tuck got an infection now I’m doing wound care. Is this normal?
Wound Healing
Mar 7, 2017
Thank you for your question and sorry to hear about your wound healing issues. Wounds of this nature are difficult, but with diligent wound care can be healed. Thank you for the pictures. The red tissue in the center of the wound is the “good stuff” and the yellow and brown is the “bad stuff”. The next step is to remove with bad tissue by debridement (cutting it away) and usually doing wet to dry dressing changes as you are doing. While a slow process, new skin…
Belly button piercing after lower bodylift?
Piercing After Body Lift
Mar 7, 2017
Congratulations on getting your body lift. Your surgeon will reconstruct what they can of the belly button and after you are healed, doing another piercing will be possible. Discuss this with your surgeon but I have a lot of patients that get another piercing after tummy tucks or body lifts without any problems. I hope this helps.
What symptoms do you get if a silicon gel breast implant ruptures?
Ruptured Implant Symptoms
Mar 7, 2017
Thank you for your question. In short, you really shouldn’t have any symptoms related to your implant if it is ruptured. It is commonly referred to as a “silent rupture” as there typically aren’t any symptoms. Capsular contracture (hardening of the scar tissue surrounding the implant) could cause pain but you state that you are not having any hardening. After being seen by your plastic surgeon, an MRI will probably be recommended as you have stated, and yes, it is…
Gynecomastia surgery incision bleeding 9 days post op. Is this normal?
Bleeding After Gynecomastia Surgery
Mar 7, 2017
Thank you for your question. From the description you gave, it sounds like you had a hematoma (blood collection) on that side. The blood that accumulated has found a way out. The description of thick and dark blood leads me to that conclusion. It would be best to be seen by your plastic surgeon as they could probably do something to evacuate the blood clot and speed up your recovery. I hope this helps.
