Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Are tissue expanders even needed for LD Flap reconstruction?
Not always a need for an implant if you have had an LD flap
Oct 6, 2020
While the shape may be somewhat different, an LD flap provides good recipient tissue for use of fat transfer into your breast. Fat can be harvested from a single (or multiple) areas on your body, processed and injected into the healthy muscle flap and mastectomy skin. This can be done over several sessions to optimize the volume and shape of the reconstructed breast. Touch base with your plastic surgeon to ensure your candidacy for the procedure, as some individuals do not have enough donor...
Severe swelling after Volbella lip filler. Can I have some advice?
Have a patient with a similar issue. Would love your thoughts.
Nov 7, 2019
Hello. I have a patient who had a similar reaction to Volbella injections today. I performed identical lip injections on 7 people using Volbella and everyone did totally fine except for one individual who had extreme lip swelling similar to yours that occurred around 5-6 hours after injection was performed.she has had fillers in the past but had never had this particular filler. There is no hematoma. I have placed her on steroids. How long did it...
I have 400cc expanders. How far beyond the 400cc is it safe to fill?
Overfilling tissue expanders
Aug 31, 2018

Answer: Great question. You are correct tissue
expanders can be overfilled up to twice the amount. The
tissue expander is made to be overfilled, however, over stretching the pocket may make the final implant be loose. Consult with your plastic surgeon to
see what your options for larger implants could be for your final results.

Good luck with
your reconstruction process.

Arm Lift Recovery
Brachioplasty Recovery
Aug 20, 2018
Thank you for your question. The typical downtime is 1 to 2 weeks, you will want to refrain from doing arm stretches during this time. No lifting of anything over 8 -10 pounds for 4-6 weeks. A compressive garment helping to decrease swelling should be worn as much as possible for 4 - 6 weeks. The medial brachial groove incision (the part of the arm that is against the body with arms down side) is visible when you wave your arm or when arm is lifted up. The arm...
Any advice for after tummy tuck procedure?
Advice for Tummy Tuck
Jul 31, 2018
Congratulations on taking this step: The recovery for each individual is different. I generally tell my patients to take 1-2 weeks off from work depending on how physical your job is. We want you up and moving, walking the day after your surgery to help prevent DVT’s. You will walk with a slight flexed posture for the first week of so after surgery. Wearing your surgical garment will not only help with post- op swelling but will help give you s...
What is the best (non surgical) way to get rid of cellulite?
Removal of Cellulite
Jul 10, 2018
Cellulite alone can be treated by the Cellfina procedure, the only FDA-cleared, minimally invasive procedure clinically proven to treat the primary structural cause of cellulite for results that last at least three years, and this procedure is typically preferred under very light sedation for comfort. Best of luck in maintaining your healthy life style, and of course use a board certified plastic surgeon to help you decide what plan will work best for you.
Tummy tuck, Lipo, BBL or just BBL with lipo?
BBL with or without Abdominoplasty
Jul 10, 2018
An abdominoplasty will contour only the front part of your torso to make the abdomen thinner and more firm. The surgery involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and tightening of the muscle and fascia of the abdominal wall. Liposuction of your flanks will give you a more hourglass shape, while the BBL will help give you a more projected buttocks. Going to a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation to discuss your medical history and your...
TT 4 weeks ago with no lipo, will the swelling on my hips/flanks go away or should the doctor have done lip
Swelling after abdominoplasty
Feb 12, 2018
Thank you for submitting photos along with your question. Your results at 4 weeks are looking very good, actually ahead of schedule. It looks as though the bruising has subsided and your swelling seems appropriate from looking at the photo. Its hard to say, this early out, if liposuction is needed. In our practice we take another set of photos at the 3, 6 and 1 year mark of surgery. Give yourself time to completely heal and the overall swelling to go down before...
7 days post op Tummy Tuck, I think I am psychologically dependent on my binding garment. Is this normal?
Psychologically dependent on garment
Jul 13, 2017
Congratulations on completion of your procedure. You are to be commended on being so compliant with wearing your compression garment. Our practice commonly hears patients remark regarding how they actually feel better when they are in their garment, even several weeks after an abdominoplasty. We recommend our post surgical patients wear their garment around the clock (except when showering and to wash and air dry garment) for 4-6 weeks after an abdominoplasty. It's possible...
How long does it take until kybella shows a difference? How many treatments would it take?
Kybella treatments
Jun 7, 2017
At this point in time Kybella is NOT approved to inject into the buccal fat pads. It is approved for treatment of the superficial fat under the chin, all other usage is considered off-label and there is limited information about treatment response to these areas.
The results from treating submental neck fat typically start to show 1-2 months after treatment, and continue to improve for 3-5 months after treatment. It first appears to improve on both sides of the neck, below the jowls....
How Can I Minimize Scars from Breast Reduction?
Minimizing scars after breast reduction
May 9, 2017
Time plays a big factor in the improvement and appearance of scars. During the first 2-4 weeks after surgery, surgical tape is often used to help minimize stretching on the incision line. Each plastic surgeons recommendation varies based on the type of procedure performed. Always follow your surgeons guide lines as when to start your scar care, whether it be topical creams, or silicone sheets that you apply daily. Many surgeons say the act of massage is important on helping scars...
Fainted after breast reduction.
Fainting after breast reduction surgery
Apr 17, 2017
Fainting after any type of surgery is not a common side effect and may
be caused by a variety of reasons. It could be something easily fixed by stopping medications, making sure your post-surgical diet is healthy and supporting good hydration but always report issues such as the ones your having directly to your plastic surgeon who would be the best to advise you. It is appropriate to have soreness after breast reduction surgery and recovery time averages 2-4 weeks, depending on grams...
Is it normal that my nipples are no longer even after breast enlargement?
Implant Malposition
Apr 10, 2017
Thanks for your question. The concern with your nipple asymmetry is largely related to current breast implant malposition. It appears that both implants have fallen to a level below the actual breast (moreso on the left than right), which will tend to distort the appropriate location of the nipple on the breast by making it seem too high. There also appears to be a "double bubble" appearance on the right side, where you can see the lower edge of the implant below...
