Having a MM and I'm taking medication for depression, will taking them prevent me from getting

Medications and Surgery
Apr 20, 2018

These are common medications and are generally not a problem for the procedures you are considering. However, since you have only been on the medications for a short period of time, I would recommend that you make sure that your surgeon, prescribing physician and anesthesiologist are all aware of your situation.

I had an arm lift done 2 weeks ago. It looks like my doc didn't remove enough fat/skin at all.

Results of Arm Lifts After Massive Weight Loss
Mar 21, 2017

I hope your arms have continued to improve and that you have found additional assistance if necessary. There are limits to how much skin you can remove without jeopardizing your circulation and nerve supply to your forearms and hands. I would encourage you to follow up with a board certified plastic surgeon who can address these concerns to help minimize your risks of permanent swelling and numbness in your forearms and hands and also make sure that you and your surgeon have realistic goals ...

I had an arm lift 17 days ago in the Dominican Republic my stitches on the right side have diss

Uneven Recovery After Arm Lift
Mar 21, 2017

You are still early in the recovery process and many of the differences patients experience between the right and left sides gradually disappear over time. Nerves can be the slowest and least predictable tissues in the body as far as healing is concerned and many patients see improvements for a year or more after the surgery. The differences between your right and left arms can be the result of differences in your anatomy (pathways of your nerves and lymphatics etc.) and the surgery that was...

Is it normal for your arms to still feel hard and bumpy after 3 weeks of armlift?

Results After Arm Lift
Mar 21, 2017

Swelling, tightness, lumps, bumps, numbness, etc. are common findings after arm lifts and other procedures, especially if you had liposuction performed at the same time. All of these findings can wax and wane during the recovery process but generally they tend to improve over time. Gently massaging these areas can facilitate the process but I would recommend checking with your surgeon to make sure that your incisions are healed well enough to begin the massaging.

One week post brachioplasty. How long before my arms no longer feel tight?

Recovery After Brachioplasty
Mar 21, 2017

The feelings of tightness, swelling and limited mobility can be highly variable between different patients and can depend on multiple factors. Generally speaking, a significant amount of the tightness and swelling usually resolves in the first few weeks and then continues to improve for several months after the surgery. Keeping the arms elevated and lightly wrapped with ace bandages can also be helpful.

Will my chin liposuction improve? 1 year post-op.

Chin Liposuction Results
Mar 21, 2017

After a year you have probably seen most of the visible results that you are going to get. Depending on what kind of liposuction you had (tumescent, laser, ultrasound, rf assisted, etc.) there may be additional treatments that could help (Ultherapy, Thermi, Facelift, etc.). I would encourage you to see a board certified plastic surgeon who offers several different treatment options to determine what will work best in your situation.

Does it look like my breast are starting to drop n fluff? Still don't know what it means. (phot

Recovery After Augmentaion
Mar 21, 2017

It appears as though you are recovering normally after the surgery. Your breasts and implants will continue to settle and relax for at least two-three months after the surgery. Many patients use lightly compressive bras without wires for about a month after surgery but I would certainly recommend checking with your surgeon's office to see what their recommendations are.

Why do my breasts look this bad?

Results After Breast Lift With Augmentation
Mar 21, 2017

Combining a breast lift with an augmentation is common but it can be challenging and it usually takes your body longer to achieve your final results than after either procedure alone. There are different kinds of lifts that can be performed with varying amounts of scarring and this is usually something that your surgeon will discuss with you prior to surgery. You are early in the recovery process and I would encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon so that he or she can h...

Dr told me it's just swollen on the right, not to worry. It looks very wrong to me.

Breast Asymmetry After Augmentation
Mar 21, 2017

It appears that you have more than the usual amount of asymmetry based on your photographs. It would be helpful to know what you had to work with pre-operatively, what method was used for your surgery, etc. I would certainly recommend keeping in close contact and follow-up with your surgeon to help you with your results.

Breast Asymmetry After Augmentation
Mar 21, 2017

All patients have some degree of asymmetry both before and after surgery. The right and left sides can heal and settle down at different rates (depending on right vs. left handedness, activities, sleep positions, etc.) and it can take two-three months for them to fully settle into place. While some asymmetry is normal and expected, other asymmetry can reflect problems that need to be addressed which may not be evident in the photographs. I would certainly contact your doctor's office to s...

415cc, 9 days post-op. Did I go too small on implant size?

Implant Sizing
Mar 21, 2017

From the photos it does not look like your implants are too small. You appear to have a taller, but narrower trunk along with a lower inframammary fold level. The width of your breasts (and implants) is a more limiting factor for your implant size. Larger implants would likely stick out even farther on the sides of your chest creating a more unnatural appearance.

My second piercing on my left earlobe has been split. Can I go to the hospital to get stitches

Ear Lobe Repair
Mar 23, 2016

Unfortunately the earlobe will need fresh surfaces for it to be sewn together and heal. This is usually not something that the emergency department will repair so I would recommend contacting a couple of plastic surgery practices in your area to see what they would charge to repair this for you. It is usually a relatively simple procedure that you can have done in the office with local anesthetic.

Is this my final result? Am I still swollen? If so, how much? I hope it's not my final results!

Expectations and Communication
Mar 23, 2016

At two months post-op most patients will have a good idea of what their final result will look like. Additional changes can occur for up to a year after any surgery however these changes are usually minor and more subtle. The more time you can spend discussing your goals with your surgeon before surgery the better you will understand what your limitations may be and what your final result will look like.

Fluid build up after 15 weeks Tummy tuck and liposuction. Any suggestions?

Fluid/Swelling After Tummy Tuck
Mar 23, 2016

Although it is rare, and even more so after a mini-abdominoplasty, it is still possible to have a fluid collection in the lower abdomen. The nature of the fluid collection can be a little different though. In one sense you can have swelling and fluid collecting in the tissues like water in a sponge. In another sense you can have fluid collecting in the area like fluid in a plastic baggie. The management can be different so I would encourage you to follow up with your surgeon to get a better...

How should a Hematoma be treated 4 weeks Post-op?

Hematoma After Abdominoplasty
Mar 23, 2016

This sounds like a very reasonable approach to take. A hematoma is a collection of blood so the fact that blood is all that came out (especially if it was dark blood) is a good sign that a hematoma is what you are dealing with. Time will help decide whether or not your body will absorb the fluid or if your doctor may want to remove some more with a needle. Time and patience are a virtue so keep in touch with your doctor and she should be able to get you through this.
