Answer Snippet
Is this just fat or loose skin after a massive weight loss journey?
Loose Skin After Weight Loss
Nov 10, 2018
Hi and Thanks for the question.  Congratulations on your weight loss!  With any weight loss, the skin will have to contract to adapt to the new body contour.  The higher the amount of weight lost, the more that the skin will have to contract.  Each person’s skin will contract differently based on things such as age, presence of stretch marks (which indicate damage to the deeper layers of the skin and its ability to contract), etc.  In your case, with a large weight loss of almost 100 pound…
If you are only allowed to lipo 4/5 litres of fat and you have that amount of fat, why do most Drs sti
Whether Or Not To Gain Weight Before Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Nov 3, 2018
Hi and Thanks for the question.  During the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure, fat is liposuctioned and removed from areas of excess in the body and transferred to areas of deficiency in the buttocks to improve the overall, shape, contour, and volume.  One of the biggest challenges with the procedure is in obtaining enough fat during the liposuction portion of the procedure to achieve the shape and volume in the buttocks that the patient desires and it is always helpful to have as much do…
I am scheduled for a Pelleve treatment soon and I was wondering what some experienced doctors think ab
What Results Can Be Expected From Pelleve Treatment
Nov 3, 2018
Hi and Thanks for the question.  Pelleve is a radiofrequency device that heats the deeper layers of your skin causing the existing collagen within the skin to contract and tighten.  The treatment also stimulates the skin to produce new collagen which can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  As you mentioned, this is a non-ablative (eg, the top layers of the skin are not injured or removed resulting in open wounds) treatment and often requires multiple treatments to achieve ma…
Can a thin incision line fade with time?
Will Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Scars Fade With Time
Nov 3, 2018
Hi and Thanks for the question.  I counsel all of my patients that scars from any procedure can take 1-2 years to fully mature.  During that time, the scars will continue to change and they may fade.  My usual recommendations for scar management include scar massage and avoidance of sun / tanning on the immature scar.  Silicone gel sheeting, as you have mentioned, can also be helpful and improve the appearance of scars.  While each Plastic Surgeon may have their own recommendations as to h…
Where can I have fat taken from for BBL? I have some fat on my arms, abdomen, bra area but not a lot.
Where Can Fat Be Taken From For Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Oct 27, 2018
Hi and Thanks for the question.  In general, fat can be taken from any area on the body where there is excess subcutaneous (eg, under the skin) fat deposits.  All of the areas that you mentioned, such as the abdomen, arms, and bra area can be sites where fat can be taken for the procedure.  Other possible fat donor areas include the flanks, inner thighs, and back (upper, mid, and lower).  As to whether or not you have enough fat to achieve the results that you desire in your buttocks and …
13 days post. How many lymphatic massage are necessary after a BBL?
Lymphatic Massage After Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Oct 27, 2018
Hi and Thanks for the question.  In general, lymphatic massage is very helpful after any liposuction procedure.  That being said, there is no set number of massages that is optimal.  For my own patients, I recommend that they perform the massage on their own every day to help reduce swelling and ensure a smooth result.  Best of Luck!
Should I stop lifting weights before a Brachioplasty?
Weight Training Before Brachioplasty
Oct 27, 2018
Hi and Thanks for the question.  In general, each individual surgeon has their own pre-operative and post-operative regimen and instructions that they like their patients to follow.  This is often based upon their own personal experiences in performing the particular procedure (in this case brachioplasty) and are designed to maximize the cosmetic results of the procedure and ensure that each patient experiences the best possible outcome.  My recommendation would be to follow the pre…
Should I get a cheek lift at 18 for sagging?
Facial Assymetry In The Cheeks
Oct 21, 2018
Hi and Thanks for the question.  The assymetry in your cheeks that you describe and that the pictures that you have provided show is normal and is present in everyone to varying degrees.  In general, everyone has slight assymetries between the right and left sides of their faces as well as between the right and left eyes, eyebrows, cheeks, etc.  At 18 years old, it is very difficult to recommend a surgical procedure to correct minor normal facial assymetries.  That being said, if you desir…

Alar Base Reduction / Rhinoplasty
Oct 21, 2018
Hi and Thanks for the question.  An Alar Base Reduction procedure helps to narrow the entire base of the nose.  The overall end result from the procedure would be that the distance from the outer edge of one nostril to the opposite nostril would be reduced thus helping to narrow a wide nose.  The Alar Base Reduction can be performed as a stand alone procedure or as part of a more comprehensive rhinoplasty procedure where other portions of the nose such as the nasal bones and nasal tip are…

Oct 17, 2018
Hi and Thanks for the question.  There are several different causes of abdominal bloating but most of them occur within the stomach and GI system.  The BBL procedure reduces the subcutaneous (eg, above the abdominal muscle) fat deposits through liposuction and then redistributes that fat into areas in the buttocks that would benefit from more volume.  In general, the BBL procedure does not cause any changes below the abdominal muscle which is where the stomach and GI system reside.  So it …
Can health Hx disqualify you for a mommy makeover?
Can Medical History Disqualify Someone From Having A Mommy Makeover
Oct 17, 2018
Hi and Thanks for the question.  For each patient who is considering having an elective cosmetic procedure, it is always important to go through their medical history to see if there are any items which could cause problems either during the procedure itself or during the healing process.  Fortunately, as long as certain chronic medical conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, etc. are well controlled, they are not disqualifying and people can proceed with their procedure without f…

Impact of Cigarette Smoking on Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Oct 13, 2018
Hi and Thanks for the question.  We know that the fat cells that get transferred to the buttocks in the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure do require adequate blood supply to survive.  We also know that cigarette smoking can decrease the blood supply to healing tissues (eg, fat cells) through the damaging effects of both nicotine and carbon monoxide contained within the cigarette smoke itself.  For these reasons I recommend to all of my Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) patients that they ref…

Who Is A Good Candidate For Body Contouring and BBL
Oct 13, 2018
Hi and Thanks for the question.  Liposuction surgery and BBL surgery (which combines liposuction with fat transfer) are both “body contouring” procedures.  As the name implies, the goals of body contouring procedures are to improve the overall shape and curves of the body (eg, to achieve the “hourglass” shape).  Liposuction specifically targets the subcutaneous (eg, under the skin but ABOVE the abdominal muscles) fat deposits to help improve the overall body shape and contour.  What liposuc…
Am I a good candidate for BBL? I’m 5’6.5, currently weigh 138 lbs and I’m 27 years of age.
Who Is A Good Candidate For a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Oct 11, 2018
Hi and Thanks for the question.  During the BBL procedure, fat is taken through liposuction from areas of excess and then transferred to areas of deficiency in the buttocks.  A “good candidate” would be someone who has sufficient fat that can be transferred to the areas of deficiency in order to achieve the desired result.  As each patient’s desires and cosmetic goals are different, the actual amount of fat necessary will vary from patient to patient.  I would recommend that you consult wit…
Solution for a recessed chin. How bad is it? Are there any facial exercises that could help?
Treatment Options for Recessed Chin
Oct 6, 2018
Hi and Thanks for the question.  In general, most of the main options for correction of a recessed chin are surgical.  These include placement of a chin implant for mild to moderate degrees of chin advancement.  For moderate to severe chin recession, usually orthognathic surgery where portions of the jaw are advanced forward surgically is the mainstay.  Unfortunately, I am not aware of any “facial exercises” that would be of benefit as in most instances the cause of a recessed chin is almo…
