How do the costs and results of a floating abdominoplasty compare to a traditional TT?

floating umbilicus in abdominopasty
Dec 6, 2019

The floating abdominoplasty, which I assume is floating umbilicus, is a procedure that only changes one small part of the overall surgery. This part is the relocation of the belly button. the belly button in a floating tummy tuck is separated at the stalk and moved down with the skin that is pulled down, so it avoids the incision around the belly button. THIS IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR MOST PEOPLE, as your belly button will be too low. There is no price difference to do it this way in mos...

Do swollen legs increase the risk of DVT?

swollen legs
Nov 26, 2019

Thank you for your question. Swelling fo your legs can occur due to abnormal accumulation of extracellular fluid in the tissues of the lower extremity. Causes of leg swelling include salt retention, cellulitis, congestive heart failure, venous insufficiency, pregnancy, and medication side effects. It is important that you see a cardiologist before you undergo the procedure for a work up and a clearance.

Can I do lipo on my abdoman after my tummy tuck from 2 yrs ago?

lipo after tummy tuck
Nov 25, 2019

The answer to your question is "yes' but it is very important to know if you have had lipo in that area already or not. If you have, you should let your surgeon know this fact. It also depends on the surgeons exam and assessment of how much fat is still in that area, and, most importantly the LOCATION of that fat. Is the fat above (can be suctioned) vs. below (cannot be suctioned visceral fat) the muscle. good luck with your research!

Is this fat or swelling 2.5 months post-op? The PA told me it's all fat and I have no more swelling. (

swelling after Tummy Tuck
Nov 25, 2019

You need to wait at least 6 months before making the determination of "fat vs swelling". I have all my patients weigh themselves weekly. Swelling weight should come off at a rate of a pound or two a month. Be patient, and then see your surgeon afterwards if you still have concerns.

Do you think I’ll need a tummy tuck too with my BBL?

tummy tuck vs. lipo?
Nov 25, 2019

Thanks for your question. A tummy tuck will be good for you AFTER a significant reduction int he visceral fat underneath your muscles. The reason for this is that it is difficult for us to tighten together your muscles under your skin with the fat underneath pushing outwards. Timing your surgery for when you are in the best possible shape, body mass index, and level of visceral fat is very important.

Would I benefit from a revision for scar left by incision infection or a breast lift?

Revision
Sep 10, 2019

Looking at your pictures I would pursue a scar revision of your abdominal scar, and a lift for your breasts. Of course an in person consultation would be required to assess skin laxity and where we could put your scar, but I think it would be helpful.

Will Insurance Cover my Mommy Makeover and Hemorrhoid Repair? Can They Be Done At The Same Time? (phot

Insurance for cosmetic procedures
Sep 9, 2019

The hemorrhoids and the hernia, yes, insurance should cover these.. The rest, no. Yes, you can do them at the same time. In general, trying to get insurance to cover cosmetic procedures is not only a losing uphill battle, you should be suspect of any surgeon who says they can do this.

Is it possible to get a mommy makeover with no drains on you tuck and breast lift?

No drain mommy makeovers? Yes, Its possible
Sep 9, 2019

Depending on your particular situation, you can certainly get this procedure with no drains. I never use drains for breast lifts, so you don't have to worry about that. I have performed thousands, and have never encountered an issue without using a drain. The abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) there is a way to do the procedure using PROGRESSIVE TENSION SUTURES instead of a drain that can work very well on select patients. The best way to know for sure is to submit pictures or come in for a c...

Is 65 years old to old to have a mastopexy?

You are only as old as you think!
Sep 9, 2019

65, in my experience, is not too old, if you are physiologically healthy. I have many patients in their 60s seek cosmetic enhancements. we do have a cut off for out patient surgery of 70 years old. The best way to know for sure is to come in for an evaluation. We will assess your health, the actual amount of surgery required, and give you an opinion on the safest way to proceed

TT or Just Liposuction?

Tummy Tuck
Jul 28, 2012

I would say you would require a tummy tuck. You have some loose skin that could get worse with liposuction, and you would not achieve a "flat" abdomen. Another major factor with your abdomen is rectus muscle looseness. Liposuction does not address this. If you really want a flat abdomen, a tummy tuck is the way to go.

Sharp Pain in Breasts One Month After Breast Augmentation?

sharp pains
Jul 27, 2012

The sharp pains that feel like electric shocks are usually due to nerve regeneration after stretching. They will subside over time. Desensitization exercises like massage help, and I occasionally prescribe medications that help calm the nerve impulses. Talk to your surgeon, and I am sure he can help you if they become too much to handle! good luck!

Nipples Too Low? I Feel Uneven.

Too early to make any decisions
Jul 22, 2012

As you can see from all the answers that all plastic surgeons agree that you are jumping the gun a little too early! I would suggest to stop analyzing the way things look right now, stop looking at the results in the mirror, and be patient. Things will look 100% different every week! Give it at least 3-6 months before you start worrying about the results. And make sure to follow up with your doctor regularly.

Breast Became Hard Overnight and Implant Has Shifted After 11 Years?

What happened ?!??! Capsule vs. Rupture
Jul 19, 2012

It is really difficult to tell by the story and the photo what actually happened.

Possibiliteis include: seroma, capsular contracture or rupture.

noticing the change acutely overnight is rare, but sometimes our minds don't pick up on a gradual change until we really stop to think about it.

I would see your plastic surgeon as soon as possible for a diagnosis. A physical exam is essential in your case.

Is a Full Tummy Tuck Better Than a Mini Tummy Tuck?

MINI OR FULL?
Jul 17, 2012

The answer is IT TOTALLY DEPENDS ON YOUR BODY TYPE.

Some people do not need a full tummy tuck. If you only have a minimal amount of skin on the lower portion of the abdomen, no muscle diastasis (separation), and a good weight for height (BMI), a mini tummy tuck may work.

In general, the additional steps taken during a full tummy tuck does provide better results in the long run.

There are also hybrids in between, so the best thing to...

When You Get a Breast Lift Surgery Do You Have to Pay the Full Cost of the Surgery at Once or Can You

Breast Surgery Financing
Jul 16, 2012

Plastic surgery is usually paid for in full before the procedure is done. However, with financing, you can pay in installments after surgery. Just like any credit plan, there will be financing and interest charges. At our office we accept Care Credit and many other financing plans. Of course, getting financing depends on your credit.
