I’m 3 weeks post op TT and lipo of flanks, how long is normal for pain?
three weeks post TT and lipo flanks
Sep 22, 2017
It looks like your bruising will last another 4 weeks , The stomach muscles are usually sore at least 8-12 weeks.
Are pain and swelling normal at 3 weeks post-op?
Swelling and soreness after abdominoplasty
Sep 22, 2017
I have seen swelling for 11 months. The muscles are sore for 6-8 weeks or more since you use your stomach for everything.
How Likely Will Potentially Deadly Risks from Rhinoplasty Occur?
infection risk
Sep 14, 2017
This is unlikely unless you have had MRSA. If you are uncertain your doctor can culture your nasopharynx before your surgery. Be certain to let your doctor know if you have a cold or fever before your surgery so that he or she may check you.
Are my breasts normal for 3 months post op? My right breast doesn’t look right in my opinion (P
breast differences
Aug 30, 2017
It looks as though the pockets have healed slightly differently. Your nipples are slightly lateral the right more than the left. Do you have pictures of your breasts before surgery. I have adjusted nipple positions when possible
14 weeks post implants, what is wrong with my right breast?
right breast appearance
Aug 30, 2017
I think you need to see your plastic surgeon.. You look as though you will need corrective surgery.
I had breast augmentation almost 4 months ago. 380cc, I weigh 110, and I’m 5’3″. Are my breasts
breast bottoming out
Aug 30, 2017
The implant is full for your petite size. There is almost always a difference between the two sides. You may need to have the right one raised slightly. Wear a bra with a wide band and avoid vigorous exercise since this may make things worse.
Am I an acceptable candidate for brachioplasty with liposuction?
Brachioplasty
Aug 29, 2017
You can have a brachioplasty if your health permits. If you loose more weight you may need a revision and that will be another expense. It is usually less then the first time.
I’ve lost an extreme amount of weight and my arms are extremely sagging.
Extreme Sagging
Aug 29, 2017
Unfortunately insurance does not cover this. Your only option is to get an arm lift. This can be done under local or general anesthesia. If you can tolerate injections the local saves you money. There are finance companies for plastic surgery.
I had an arm lift 5 weeks ago. I have all these wrinkles on both arms. Is that normal?
Arm Lift
Aug 29, 2017
It may not correct all the changes of aging, avoiding sun and cigarettes will help. Arm exercises will help. Compression garment helps skin shrinkage. Don’t gain wait.
How long will it take for me to see final results after surgery on a brachioplasty?
Brachioplasty Swelling
Aug 29, 2017
It is probably going to take six months. If you eat more calories then you burn you still have fat cells in your arm. We cannot predict where you will gain fat.
My surgery was July 24th 2017. Why does my whole arm feel hard?
Hardness in arm
Aug 29, 2017
This is probably due to bruising and swelling. If you have a fever or redness you need to check with your doctor.
Brachioplasty: extended or CoolSculpting, which is better?
Excess Upper Arm Tissue
Aug 29, 2017
Liposuction and arm lift will give a better result. You may be able to get by with a short scar arm lift. Also you can benefit from liposuction on the upper back, if you wear your tops tight it will make you bulge out above and below.
Will full brachio from armpit to elbow address exercise-resistant, bulging, wrinkled fat under
Above Bra Fat
Aug 9, 2017
The amount of excess skin depends on genetics, cigarettes, and sun exposure. Sometimes this can be taken out with just an excision in the axilla and maybe a little bit of lipo on the upper back. Please be certain your bra is not too tight around your body because this will accentuate the area.
Is it possible to lift the skin on my arms without removing skin?
Upper Arm
Aug 9, 2017
If you are young and have very little extra skin you can do liposuction and then exercises to strengthen the triceps. Otherwise your looking at skin scars. If there is very little it can sometimes be taken out in the armpit.
Extended arm lift on June 14th, and I have spit several (approx. 8) violet/purple PDS sutures.
Spit Sutures
Aug 9, 2017
Yes this may happen. Keep the area clean with betadine solution if you are not allergic. See your doctor as needed.
