Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Will my implants look natural even if I have no breast tissue?
Soft Tissue Cover
Mar 9, 2015
This is an excellent question. In my opinion, when you have only a small amount of breast tissue, the best way to get a natural result is to use a relatively small gel implant that fits within the width and height of your natural breast. Soft tissue coverage is critical. Placing the implant in the submuscular dual plane position is important and serious consideration should be given to add fat grafting to soften the look of your breasts, particularly in…
Different doctors, different BWD measurements. Which one to trust?
Multiple Factors Decide Breast Size
Mar 10, 2014
I think it is important to stay focused on achieving your goals. Relating to your surgeon what size and shape you desire is important. The breast width measurement is just one tool that is used to help determine what size and shape of implant is used. I still prepare for each case by having the size we both have selected together plus at least one size larger and one size smaller available to use for your particular surgery. The final size selection is ultimately…
Can Gynecomastia Be Corrected with Chest Exercises?
Gynecomastia and Chest Exercise
Feb 23, 2014
Although extensive chest and pectoral exercise will not diminish the amount of true glandular breast tissue, improving the tone of the Pectoral muscles, Serratus and shoulder girdle (Deltoids, Trapezius, Latissimus, Biceps and Triceps), will improve the appearance of the chest. This is much more important AFTER your GYNECOMASTIA is corrected, particularly if you are out of shape or somewhat over weight. I perform a great deal of gynecomastia surgery and I have routinely seen…
Ibuprofen Intake Post Plastic Surgery Procedure?
Ibuprofen and other NSAIDS after surgery
Feb 23, 2014
Although there are theoretical reasons not to take non steroidal anti inflammatory medications after surgery secondary to anti platelet effects, with more than 25 years of practical experience treating patients, the use of Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin etc) and Naproxen (Aleve) is usually extremely helpful with minimal risk to an increase in clinical bleeding. The reduction in pain and inflammation as well as the reduction in the need for narcotics is significant and i endorse the use of…
What are good Restylane alternatives?
Radiesse is the best alternative for non-lip facial areas
Nov 29, 2008
The Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers– Restylane, Perlane , Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus were my my workhorse fillers until I discovered Radiesse.
Radiesse provides excellent cosmetic improvement to the smile lines, the marionette lines at the corner of the mouth, to the hollows around the eye (the "tear trough " deformity) and to improve the volume in the cheeks, the pre jowl areas of the jawline as well as filling traumatic and congentital facial deformities. It can also…
