What would the difference be between Mentor Silicone 450cc Moderate Plus and Mentor Silicone 500cc H
What’s the difference between a 450 moderate and a 500 high profile?
Nov 24, 2020
Thanks for your question. The main difference between those implants is really the base diameter. A volume of 50 mL is not that big of a difference. The base diameter measurement should be based on your body type. Too wide of an implant can lead to problems with synmastia, or breasts that are too wide. For your frame, it seems like a high profile implant would be the better choice. Proper body measurement assessment and even three-dimensional imaging can help determine the best size for you....

At our office, we use Crisalix three-dimensional sizing to show the patient what they would look like after surgery. It’s important to s...
What can be done about abdominal wall pain from small hernia and diastasis recti?
Abdominal wall pain?
Oct 30, 2020
The pain you are experiencing maybe multifactorial. Usually diastasis recti is not painful. Your abdominal wall hernias could be causing discomfort as the pulling sensation from the peritoneal fat causes pain especially with increased exercise. I would have the inguinal and umbilical hernia repaired laparoscopically by general surgeon. Give that several months to heal followed up by a consultation for a possible rectus repair with Abdominal skin excision as necessary. Treating the hernias...
I do not want a lift, can you place a bigger implant over the muscle to achieve a lifting result? (p
Can I avoid a lift with subglandular implants?
Aug 23, 2020
In your case, you may be able to avoid the lift with a somewhat fuller sized implant, however, the implants will eventually settle down and will result in a more natural lower breast look. Depending on your expectations this may be okay with you, but if a full cleavage with a more augmented look is what you desire it will likely not happen. Make sure you discuss your expectations with your surgeon. It is always helpful to bring photos of what you think looks the best so that you can show...
What amount of time is reasonable for time under general anesthetic (70 year old woman)?
How much anesthesia is safe at my age (70)?
Aug 11, 2020
This is a great question and one that I am asked a lot. Anesthesia is safe at any age but depends on the length of total anesthesia and the preoperative health or comorbidities of the patient. A healthy 70-year-old patient would do very well under anesthesia as opposed to an unhealthy, overweight, diabetic 50 year old. The nice facelift should be able to be performed in under six hours and anything over that seems excessive. Make sure you discuss with a board-certified plastic surgeon who...
Would a mini tummy tuck work to to get rid of my disproportionate loose skin and tighten my abdomen?
Would a Mini-tuck work?
Aug 11, 2020
The simple answer is no. You have done a tremendous job in losing weight and getting back to your pre-baby body. A full abdominoplasty would be the best at removing as much excess skin as possible and re-creating the contours and a nicely set belly button. Anything short of this will not do justice to the shape you have worked hard to earn. Good luck.
Is risk of complications too great for someone with an autoimmune disease to get implants?
Should I have breast implant surgery when I have an autoimmune disorder?
Aug 6, 2020
The answer is not simple. While patients with autoimmune disorders may have an increased risk for BII, it is unknown what kind of AI disorders may correlate with disease or who will get it? That said, the chances are very low and for someone who is otherwise healthy, it may be worth the very small risk. You have to weigh the options yourself. My advice would be that if you truly desire breast implants, place the smallest implant that would be acceptable to you. Smaller implants have less...
Pretty sure I require a lift, but I want bigger breasts and more upper fullness. What procedure woul
Want fuller breasts with more cleavage.
Jul 14, 2020
The only way to achieve the look you’re asking about is with implants and a lollipop lift. However, you should consider not having anything done because you have a beautiful breast shape and you’re still young. If you do decide to go through with it, in order to get the full cleavage and round upper poles, you would need an implant with tightening of the lower pole skin using a lift. Bring “wish pics” with you to a consultation in order to help the surgeon evaluate your expected results...
Will fat transfer to the full face tighten skin that is loose under the chin and jaw area for a more
Will fat grafting improve my neck skin at all?
Jul 14, 2020
Fat grafting to the face is a great option for permanent and long lasting volume to restore deficits that occur with facial aging. However, you will not get any tightening to the mild skin laxity of your neck. Adjunctive procedures to improve this at the time of the fat grafting could be radiofrequency heating (ThermiTight) to the neck or ultrasound treatments like Ulthera. These would be other options to explore that could potentially be done at the same time as a fat grafting. Obviously, a...
I am a 5'10 transwoman weighing 165. What breast cup size would be best for me?
What size should I go with?
Jul 9, 2020
Every patient is different, as is their desired outcome. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape/position, your chest wall measurements, and the soft tissue quality.  The implant decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon.  During your consultation, make sure that you have adequate time with your surgeon and not just their patient coordinator or nurses. Make sure you specifically look at bef...
Should I get an upper blepharoplasty or would Botox be enough to fix my issue?
Do I need a bleph or could Botox help?
Jul 9, 2020
You have minimal upper eyelid skin excess and there is slightly more droop on the right compared to the left. However, you are very young and while I wouldn’t say absolutely not to an eyelid lift, I do think you would be better off trying to lift the lids with Botox first. If this work, and it should, you could avoid surgery for a while. Hope that helps. 
I need other opinions, do I have mild tuberous breasts and would a correction with implants alone he
Am I tuberous? Can implants alone work?
Jun 22, 2020
Thanks for your question. You do not have a tuberous breast deformity. You’ll get a nice result with an appropriately sized implant. You do have a short distance from the bottom of the areola to the fold but this will improve and elongate over time. Especially when some mild scoring of the lower pole and release of muscle is performed during your surgery. Ask your surgeon about this specifically. You should not need anything other than an implant alone. Good luck.
Is it possible to fix implant asymmetry with a band?
Will a band help lower the implant?
Jun 22, 2020
Generally, implants can take up to a year to fall into appropriate position. It is not uncommon for one to sometimes fall faster than the other. If it has been over a year it is unlikely to change any further and discussing this with your Plastic Surgeon is important. If it’s been less than three months, massage and a strap could help significantly. Good luck.
Heavy squats and deadlifts after submuscular breast augmentation surgery?
Can you still powerlift after a submuscular augmentation?
Jun 18, 2020
You should be able to resume normal lower body powerlifting exercises after sufficient healing from under the muscle breast augmentation. However, as you mentioned, chest exercises will be somewhat restricted. Have you discussed the possibility of going over the muscle with your surgeon? About half of my power builders choose this as an option to decrease animation during competitions and shows.
Is it safe to have an IUD, and then three weeks later have a tummy tuck? Is that safe?
Can you have an IUD placed 3 weeks before Tummy Tuck?
Jun 18, 2020
That is a great question. Yes, it is safe to have a tummy tuck after an uneventful IUD placement. Your surgeon will evaluate your risk for blood clots and likely place you on blood thinners if you are an appropriate risk. Otherwise there should be no issues. Good luck
