Thank you for your question and photos. And congratulations on the weight loss!You should really consider having a breast lift along with your breast augmentation to achieve the upper pole fullness and symmetry that you desire. While breast implants will increase your size, you won't achieve the rest of your breast goals without the breast lift. As for your worries about scarring, work with your plastic surgeon to properly take care of the incisions for the best results. Embrace...

5 weeks post 360 lipo w/fat transfer and breast aug n lift. What are these hideous lumps in my upper n

Lumps of the Abdomen 5 Weeks After Liposuction
Mar 12, 2019

Thank you for your question and photos. While it is common to have residual swelling at 5 weeks post-op, it does look like you are developing some contour irregularities. It's not too late to consider some deep tissue massages to help smooth out irregularities caused by scar tissue and edema. Some before photos would have helped to determine if skin laxity or excess fat pockets may be the source of your irregularities. If there is accumulated blood or fluid (hematoma or seroma), your ...

Why are my areolas leaking clear liquid after my breast augmentation? It's been 7 months!

Areolas leaking clear liquid
Mar 8, 2019

Thank you for the question. This is unlikely a result of the surgery since it started 3 months after your breast augmentation. I would recommend that you get input from a gynocologist or dermatologist to rule out a skin condition or infection. It's likely that an external factor might be causing this and I would think about any activity or behavior that could've caused this. Best of luck in your healing journey.

Breast augmentation pain. Both nipples are extremely sensitive. Should I be concerned?

pain and nipple sensitivity
Mar 8, 2019

Thank you for your question. It may be that the shooting pain and the nipple sensitivity are unrelated. It's not very common for shooting pain to return and I would recommend an examination with your plastic surgeon to rule out nerve sensitivity versus another process like capsular contracture. As for your nipple sensitivity, I assume that this has been the case since surgery. Hypersensitivity to the nipples is not uncommon and it's relived by massaging and manipulating the nipples. This ...

Will bruising go away on its own if it's been longer than 2 weeks post breast lift and augmentation? (

Possible hematoma
Mar 8, 2019

Thank you for your question and your photos. With your left breast being larger than the right and the right showing no signs of bruising, I would question if you have a hematoma. I would discuss this with your surgeon again . If your left breast is also firm , I would highly suggest an exploration of possible evacuation of the blood if a hematoma is present, or if things have been stable, you can consider an ultrasound to determine if you have a hematoma versus simple bruising. Best of luck.

What procedure can fix the sagginess of my breasts as well as the distance between the two?

breast lift
Nov 13, 2018

Thank you for your question and photos. It looks like you would benefit from a breast lift with or without augmentation. As for the more specific details of your goal, it would be best to have an in person evaluation by a plastic surgeon. After examining you, these details can be properly addressed to achieve your goal.Best wishes.

Breast Implant Hurting on Right Side Only What to Do?

re: Breast Implant Hurting on Right Side Only What to Do?
Nov 13, 2018

Thank you for your question. The best thing to do is to see your plastic surgeon, since they know what techniques they performed and can examine you to see if there have been any changes.Breast pain is not uncommon during the immediate recovery period and can be simply from overuse- usually on the side of your dominant hand. Another less common cause but just as benign is Mondor’s disease- thrombophlebitis of a vein caused by pressure from the breast implant. This is characterized by sharp p...

I’m having a dental crown put on and scheduled Botox appointment for 2 hours afterwards. Should I canc

Is It Safe to Have Botox Injections Two Hours After Dental Work?
Jul 10, 2018

Thank you for your question. Unless you have an active infection where you need to take antibiotics, there is no reason why you can’t have a Botox treatment afterwards. Even with an abscessed tooth or infection, you are probably fine to have Botox, but it’s not generally recommended to have Botox injected when you have an active systemic infection.

Do I have tuberous breasts or some characteristics of tuberous breasts?

Do I Have Tuberous Breasts?
Jun 25, 2018

Thank you for your question and photo. Unfortunately, your one photo is not enough to be able to answer your question. Side views would also be needed to see if you have tuberous breasts or characteristics of tuberous breasts. I would recommend an in-person consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon to determine if you have tuberous breasts. They can also go over appropriate options for you as well as their recovery process and results.

Body sculpting and BBL! Do I have enough body fat?

Do I Have Enough Fat for a BBL?
Jun 25, 2018

Thank you for your question and photos. As long as you are not looking for an extremely large result, I believe you are a very good candidate for liposuction of your torso and fat transfer to your butt. I don’t ever recommend gaining weight, unless you plan to stay at your larger size. If you plan to go back to your prior lifestyle, your will lose the additional weight and your fat cells will shrink- including the fat you put into your butt. Please have a consultation with an exper...

Will liposuction, or any effective fat removal procedure, on my cheek and chin cause skin sag when I'm

Will Liposuction on My Cheeks and Chin Cause Skin to Sag When I’m Older?
Jun 25, 2018

Thank you for your question. While there are other factors that will influence any sagging, liposuction of the submental (under the chin) and jawline areas will not cause additional sagging on its own. During the healing process, the collagen fibers in the liposuction areas will contract to tighten the jawline and chin. So if anything, the long term effect with liposuction would be to tighten the area as compared to without liposuction.

I’m currently 293lbs and I love my body, just not my stomach. Can I get a tummy tuck or do I need to l

Tummy Tuck or Lose Weight First?
Jun 24, 2018

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, your photo doesn’t supply us with any helpful view of your stomach. In general, a good candidate for a tummy tuck will be close to their comfortable goal weight. This not only helps to insure you get the best results possible but also to minimize your risks from surgery. Please see an experienced plastic surgeon to determine if you are ready to proceed or if you should lose weight.

During a Brazillian butt lift surgery, can I have fat transferred to my legs as well?

Can You Have Fat Transferred to Your Legs During a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Jun 24, 2018

Thank you for your question. Yes, you can have fat transferred to your legs at the same time as your Brazilian Butt Lift, especially if your are trying to maintain proper proportions. In most of these cases, fat is being transferred to the outer thigh and hip to maintain a smooth silhouette and contour. For this area of fat transfer, the risks are no different than for fat transfer to the butt.
