What goes into correcting a bottomed out breast implant?
Bottoming out of breast implant
Sep 9, 2020
Hi Crystal,
There are multiple reasons or contributing factors as to why an implant can bottom out after surgery. These include- but certainly aren't limited to- a lack of soft tissue support (your tissues may be thinner on that side), prior history of weight loss, the way your skin, soft tissue and muscle has stretched, the way the pocket was dissected originally during surgery, your natural anatomy (one breast may have been lower to start and it was less noticeable before surgery) and even...
Is this a dog ear? What are my revision options?
Dog Ears
Sep 9, 2020
Hello, thank you for the question and your photos! It is difficult to tell with just photos if you have excess skin remaining or just small pocket of fat in the area. If it is excess skin, this can be improved by surgical excision (another dog ear correction) or occasionally a minimally invasive skin tightening device, if it is minimal. However, if it is excess fat, liposuction is a great way to help with the contouring. Your hip dips may be less noticeable with liposuction contouring around...
Difference between Sientra's gummy bear high profile vs. moderate plus profile?
Implant sizing
Sep 9, 2020
Hello! Great question- implant sizing is a confusing topic for many patients. I determine the best size of implants for my patients by choosing the correct width to fit their frame. This helps the implant look as natural as possible. Then, after determining width (12.4 cm it sounds like for your case), then I use that width to determine different volumes (cc's) in each profile. Typically, I will offer at least 2 profiles if the patient is unsure on what look they desire after surgery. For...
Can I put an implant back in my right breast after skin necrosis?
Revision after skin/tissue necrosis
Sep 9, 2020
Hello,
I am sorry that you went through this complication and I am glad that you are healed (or mostly healed) at this time. That must have been tough!
Revision may be possible for you, but it will be a longer road. There are many possibilities of revisions including new implant placement, fat grafting, scar revisions, and possibly tissue transfer to make up for the tissue that you lost. It is likely that you will need multiple procedures. You may have to change the size of the breast that...
Why can’t I get lipo on my inner thighs? When I asked a local dr they said it wouldn’t work becau
Liposuction of inner thighs
Sep 9, 2020
Great question! The inner thighs is a tricky area to treat sometimes and commonly sought after treatment area for women. The right candidate for liposuction of the inner thighs has fat pockets that do not change with diet or exercise and has skin that is tight instead of loose. Examples of skin that is loose and that has loss elasticity (the ability to snap back) is skin that hangs, has stretch marks, or does not appear tight. If liposuction is performed under skin without good elasticity,...
I have this fat patch above my butt and I wanna get it off. It shows when I wear fitted dresses.
Liposuction of lower back
Sep 9, 2020
Hello! Thank you for your question! It is a little hard to see your area of concern from these angles, but from what I can see, liposuction would be an option for you to contour this area better. Some patients have excess skin of the lower back as well, which would require surgical skin removal and a scar. Additionally, I remind my patients that we are 3 dimensional people, therefore treatment to your abdomen may help the overall shape of your midsection. This could include liposuction or a...
Can I get a mommy makeover and arm lift at the same time?
Arm Lift + Mommy Makeover
May 28, 2020
Hello! Depending on what other procedures you have planned in your mommy makeover, adding in an arm lift may be feasible. There are quite a few factors, including the type of procedures you are having and your overall health. I like to keep my surgeries to less than 6 hours if possible. With that amount of surgery, I also recommend an overnight stay for monitoring. Good luck and congratulations on your decision to take care of yourself after all the hard work of pregnancy and being a mom! 
I'm 5'5" and I weigh 155 lbs. I was just suggested 550 cc. Do you think that's too big for me?
550 cc implants
May 28, 2020
Hello! Thank you for your question, however you did not share with us your after surgery breast goals or photos. Do you have a goal for bra size? Are you aiming for large appearing breasts or more natural appearing breasts?  That being said, 550 cc is generally a fairly large implant. For most patients, this will likely permanently alter your breast dimensions and chest wall. The larger the implant, the more likely that your breasts and tissue will stretch too much, allowing the implant to s...
Am I a good candidate? I'm 19 years old, I'm 102 pounds and my cup size is a 34DDD
Breast Reduction
May 28, 2020
Hello! Thank you for the information. While it sounds like you most likely will meet criteria for insurance coverage for a breast reduction, each insurance company is different. It is best to make an appointment for consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who accepts your insurance. In my office, I see the patient for the consultation and determine if they are a candidate. This includes a discussion of what bra size you are now and what bra size you would like to be after ...
How long do I need to wait after getting Smart Lipo before I have my tummy tuck?
Tummy Tuck after Liposuction
May 28, 2020
Hello! I advise my patients to wait at least 6 months between procedures due to swelling, scarring and damage to blood vessels/tissues during liposuction. SmartLipo uses thermal energy, therefore it is still traumatic to your tissues. You should give your body adequate time to heal before having another procedure to decrease risks of poor/delayed healing and poor scarring.

400 cc Moderate Plus Implants vs 350 cc Moderate Plus
May 28, 2020
Hello! Great question! Patients often stick to focusing on the volume (cc's) of an implant, rather than how the implant dimensions will fit them. I measure the breast and chest wall prior to choosing implants. Then, the volume is based on the width and projection of the implant. It is likely that the 400 cc moderate plus implant is just wider than the 350 cc moderate plus implant. I find that if the implant is too wide, it appears more rounded, slightly less natural and in the worst cas...

Breast Lift vs Lift + Implants
May 28, 2020
Hello, fellow healthcare worker! Thank you for submitting a photo. It appears like you are a good candidate for either a mastopexy (breast lift) alone or a mastopexy with implants.  Although the choice is ultimately yours, I try to help my patients determine what their true goals are.

There are many different sizes of breast implants that can create a natural appearance with the cup size you...
What can I do for rippling in my breast implants 1.5 years post-op?
Implant Rippling
Apr 20, 2020
Hello! There are some options for helping to improve the appearance of rippling implants in thin patients. You could consider switching to a more cohesive gel silicone implant and adding more soft tissue via fat grafting or an acellular dermis. It is a difficult problem in thin patients and may not be completely corrected in just one surgery. Please make an appointment for a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss all your treatment options with the associated risks an...
