Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
My face looks like it’s melting at age 31 - what can I do to fix this?
Facelift
Mar 24, 2023
From your pictures you seem to be a great facelift candidate. From not having an in-person consultation to test skin elasticity, it seems that liposuction of the area alone would cause laxity and hanging especially in the long term, so I would not suggest liposuction alone. A facelift will tighten the skin and give your jawline a more contoured look. Please always seek the advice of a board certified plastic surgeon and one who you feel comfortable with their expertise in facial rejuvenation...
Exercises to lose weight after tummy tuck & other abdominal surgeries?
Exercises
Mar 20, 2023
It's really kind of a myth that certain exercises will make you lose weight in certain areas. You can build your muscles for added contouring but fat loss is a different story. As we lose weight it is all over, however, every body stores fat in some areas more than others. After a tummy tuck you will not need to do abdominal crunches because your muscles were tightened. I'd suggest finding an exercise that makes you excited to go and do it because that's the one that you will stick with. Try...
Belly button after Tummy Tuck - Any advice on improving the appearance?
Belly Button revision
Mar 20, 2023
I would suggest to go to the surgeon who preformed your tummy tuck and tell them that you wish to have a belly button revision. They usually do not charge full price for revisions and the surgeon will be familiar with your complications and needs. I hope this helps. All the best.
Age 31, BMI 30, no children, I really don't want a tummy tuck, is it the only way?
lipo vs tummy tuck
Mar 20, 2023
Unfortunately if you only preform liposuction to remove a significant amount of fat, then you will be left with skin laxity and uneven appearance. Before any procedures, make sure you are stable at the weight you want to stay at because weight gain or weight loss after surgery will affect your results. All the best.
I had twins 2.5 years ago and my stomach is not the same. Am I a tummy tuck candidate? (Photo
Tummy Tuck Candidate
Mar 20, 2023
Yes, you seem to be a good tummy tuck candidate, during the procedure you will have a tightening of the abdominal muscles that were stretched by pregnancy. However, it's best to check with your board certified plastic surgeon to see if you have any GI issues causing any additional distension. They will be able to give you a realistic expectation upon examination. All the best.
Tummy tuck pain vs vaginal hysterectomy pain?
Comparison
Mar 20, 2023
Hysterotomy pain is typically more painful than a tummy tuck. The pain from a hysterectomy feels deeper as opposed to the tummy tuck recovery is more surface level pain. All the best.
Age 38 & diagnosed with gallstones - can I have tummy tuck & gallbladder removal at the same
Yes
Mar 20, 2023
Yes it's possible to find a plastic and general surgeon team to preform your gallbladder removal and tummy tuck at the same time. All the best.
Can a vertical scar from previous procedures be removed at the same time as an extended tummy
Vertical Scar
Mar 20, 2023
If you are a candidate, then the scar can be revised to be tighter while you have your procedures. All the best.
I am 42, no kids, prev lipo. Tummy tuck or lipo?
Tummy Tuck Inquiry
Mar 20, 2023
I think you would be a great candidate for a tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck with liposculpture if you're looking to smooth and tighten the areas that concern you. All the best
Which procedure would help remove loose skin after gastric sleeve weight loss? Causing hinder
Tummy Tuck
Mar 16, 2023
Firstly, congratulation on all of your hard work paying off. You deserve to feel great after all of the efforts it has taken to reach your goal. I would recommend a tummy tuck procedure to feel your best free of the loose skin and tighten any muscle weakness.
Should I have tummy tuck or Liposuction first?
Tummy Tuck Recommendation
Mar 16, 2023
I would recommend to make sure you get to your ideal weight you wish to stay at and then getting a tummy tuck first to tighten any lose skin.
Fat above belly button, will I have a unfavourable results with TT & lipo on sides only? (Pho
Tummy Tuck candidate
Mar 16, 2023
From what I gather, you would be a great tummy tuck candidate. Your surgeon is correct, you cannot liposuction the upper part of the abdomen during the procedure because you risk flap loss. You can go in and liposuction the upper abdomen after your tummy tuck is fully healed. All the best.
I am 74 years young. Is it too late for a facelift?
Enjoy your facelift for 15-20 years
Dec 6, 2022
Depending on your pcp's clearance and blood work, this age is not a deterrent. You will be able to enjoy your facelift for years to come. I have had a 90 year old facelift patient previously who was very happy with their results. I always suggest doing it sooner than later to enjoy your results for longer.
Should I just get facelift? I'll be 31 in a few months
Botox
Dec 6, 2022
I believe you might be good candidate for Botox and possibly Juvederm to smooth any lines out. Your jawline looks normal, so I wouldn't suggest a facelift. You might consider a forehead lift down the road, but nothing stands out as being prematurely aged currently. Botox will help with the actual muscle contracting to make the lines which can't be addressed otherwise.
Facelift without bruising - What does this mean? Why does it happen?
Bruising is not an indication
Nov 29, 2022
Dear Moon7777, Bruising is not indicative of a good or bad facelift. Bruising has more to do with vasculature and really the after results will speak for themselves when compared to the before. All the best with your journey. Mehdi Balakhani DDS MD FACS
