Is it possible to get lipo on arms then get a brachioplasty on the same day?
Nov 28, 2023

Thank you for your inquiry, yes liposuction on arms can be done the same day as an arm lift, I usually preform liposuction first before the lift on the same day there is no problem, I suggest seeking board certified plastic surgeon with experience for an evlauation and further details. Best of luck

Thigh Lift + Tummy Tuck + Breast Augmentation – Would it be unsafe or unwise to do all 3 procedures at

Thigh Lift + Tummy Tuck + Breast Augmentation – Would it be unsafe or unwise to do all 3 procedures at once with no lipo?
Nov 28, 2023

Thank you for your inquiry and photos, congratulations on your weight loss! You are young and healthy there is no problem having all procedures done at once, of course it is important to have a preop general blood check up and EKG by Internist dr before surgery. No lipo seems to be needed in your case, you would have a good outcome result with only the tummy tuck with muscle repair. Breast augmentation no lift needed and inner thigh lift. Best of luck!

Medial thigh lift revision scars, does it look normal or could it be improved?

Medial thigh lift revision scars, does it look normal or could it be improved?
Nov 28, 2023

Thank you for your inquiry, it seems to be keloid scarring what you have, a inner thigh lift revision would help to remove more skin and also scar revision, it is also important to follow up with your post op treatments to help improve scarring like kitocell gel for 2-3 months. I suggest seeking board certified plastic surgeons for further details, best of luck!

I’m 5’3, 130lbs, & don’t like stomach when I sit down, would I benefit from liposuction?
Nov 28, 2023

Thank you for your inquiry, based on photo it looks like your a candidate for tummy tuck in order to obtain good results, a flat tight belly. Liposuction on its own will not fully improve results, however if full tummy tuck with muslce repair combined with liposuction is done you will have better outcome results. General anesthesia is not used for this procedure, I.V sedation with epidural is used. I suggest seeking board certified plastic surgeons to discuss further details. Best of luck!

Should I start the gym before or after my liposuction procedure? How will this affect my results?

Should I start the gym before or after my liposuction procedure? How will this affect my results?
Nov 28, 2023

Hello, thank you for your inquiry. It would be best to continue with the gym after surgery to maintain your surgery, once your surgeon has approved going back to the gym which is usually okay after 3-4 weeks there should be no problem. Best of luck

Do you recommend inner thigh lipo?

Do you recommend inner thigh lipo?
Nov 28, 2023

Thank you for your inquiry, as long as you continue with post op massages after there is no problem, also excerice is important to maintain once you have healed and your plastic surgeon has authorized. Best of luck!

Can I get away with just lipo? I really don’t want tummy tuck

Can I get away with just lipo? I really don’t want tummy tuck
Nov 28, 2023

Thank you for your inquiry and photos, based on photos liposuction on its own would not leave good results, also with time stomach skin will become more flaccid, you are a candiate for tummy tuck in order to obtain good results and also remove excessive skin. A full tummy tuck with muscle repair comined wiht liposuction 360 would have a good outcome result, flat tight belly. You will not be happy with only liposuction results since its mainly skin removal needed. I suggest seeking board…
