Answer Snippet

Do I agree to an inverted T abdominoplasty for the best results? Please help as I need many opinio

Do I need an inverted T (fleur de lis) abdominoplasty
Feb 2, 2019

As you can see from the drawing that you have provided on the inferior T abdominoplasty, the area that is excised resembles a fleur de lis design (if the lines were slightly curved outward rather than straight) which is why we call this type of procedure a fleur de lis abdominoplasty (FDL TT). You have severe stretch marks that extend higher on your abdomen than most, but this does not necessitate a FDL TT. You appear to be a great candidate for a traditional abdominoplasty. Some have ...

Is it normal at high altitudes to have air bubbles in implant pocket?

Is it normal to have air bubbles at higher altitudes?
Jan 31, 2019

Thank you for your intriguing question. The most common time that women notice hearing sloshing sounds or air bubbles is immediately after a breast augmentation with saline implants, especially if a small amount of air is left with the saline in an implant (with time it will absorb and go away). However, you have silicone implants and no real reason to hear a sloshing sound unless you were to have traumatized a breast and have some fluid/blood collected around the implant, but you would n...

Should I be more concerned about implant width or projection? I have a 75cc difference in breast v

Should I be more concerned about width or projection?
Jan 31, 2019

Thank you for your question. It makes sense that you are concerned about the difference in volume and you ask very intelligent questions about base diameter and projection. However, I would suggest that you leave those decisions in the capable hands of your surgeon. I do not allow my patents to choose projection or base width since those are numbers that I understand and make sense to me based on years of experience. Depending on your breast shape a higher profile may make more sense...

I can certainly understand your hesitation with the scars that are associated with a breast lift, but given your nipple position in the photos as well as your asymmetry between the two breasts, I think you would have a much better result if you were to proceed with a lift along with the implants. Remember that you are doing the operation to achieve breasts that are most aesthetically pleasing and while scars are always best avoided, sometimes they are necessary to achieve the results you wa...

I’m 56 years old and have a global lumbar fusion L3-L5. I have lots of loose skin. Can I get lower

Can I have a LBL?
Dec 30, 2018

As long as your overall health is good, which it sounds to be, then you should be fine having a lower body lift. It seems that you have gained only about 7 pounds with the hormones you mentioned, and it's possible that a LBL could remove that much weight, but it should not be considered a weight loss surgery. I always recommend that patients be at their ideal weight prior to surgery but I doubt that the loss of 7 pounds after surgery if you were to do so would have a significant effect on ...

Trying to decide if I should do a tummy tuck nd a BBL in the same surgery. Not sure. Advice? (phot

Need advice on whether to do both procedures at once
Dec 30, 2018

Thank you for your pictures along with your question as they are very helpful. While BBL is a very popular procedure, I personally think that it has become a little too popular (isn't always necessary) and also has risk associated with it. Often times, as I think is the case with you, patients have a buttocks which is appropriate for their body. Instead of enlarging your buttocks, doing a tummy tuck with aggressive liposuction of the love handle region (flanks) will improve your co...

Do I have enough skin fir a full tummy tuck?

Do I have enough skin for a full tummy tuck?
Dec 26, 2018

Thank you for your pictures as it helps to give some clarity as to why you have been given the recommendations that you have. Both of the other doctors have the advantage of having seen you in person and done a physical exam, but based on your anatomy in the pictures, I can see why one of them recommended a belly button float and the other a higher scar. However, I don't agree with either assessment, but this is based only on your pics. I have done over a thousand tummy tucks and have nev...

Can face and neck lift, upper eye surgery, tummy tuck and breast revision safety be done in 5 hour

Can all these procedures be combined?
Dec 26, 2018

Thank you for your question and I completely understand why you have come to this forum for reassurance about the surgical plan. However, as you can see by the responses, there is no clear cut consensus on whether these procedures can be combined or not, in part because none of us has seen or examined you to concur or differ from the plan. I would actually put the question back on you and ask if you trust your surgeon and feel that you are in good hands. He or she has presumably seen yo...

Abdomen cramping-hot sensation 3 weeks after a tummy tuck, is this a concern?

3 weeks after tummy tuck
Dec 9, 2018

First, congratulations on your recent surgery. Abdominal cramping is absolutely normal after surgery as well as other sensory changes. You should watch for redness and swelling in the area and especially fever and chills. If you have any of these symptoms, you should contact your doctor immediately. Otherwise, what you are experiencing is likely normal, but no one could appropriately or accurately tell you but your doctor, so if you are having concerns, please be sure to follow up wit...

Is a TT, muscle repair and BL with augmentation too much for one procedure?

Is this too much for one surgery?
Dec 9, 2018

The procedures that you have asked about can absolutely be safely combined in a single surgery. However, before deciding to proceed with the surgery, it is important that you discuss your goals and exceptions with your surgeon in depth. Based on your photos and your history of weight fluctuations, it would appear as though implants may not be the best idea for you, or you may need additional internal support to keep the implants in place. However, you may be able to achieve a sa...

Could Botox help this congenital depression in the center of forehead?

Botox?
Dec 9, 2018

Since the depression is presumably due to loss of soft tissue (muscle or fatty tissue) rather than bone I think a filler in that area could be a very simple and reasonably inexpensive fix. Fillers placed in areas that do not otherwise lose volume naturally with time can be a semi-permanent or even permanent fix. Trying to use botox to get the muscle to atrophy will take years to realize a result, but using botox to prevent the area from looking worse with expression could be a reasonable a...

Would it be safe to do a mini arm and thigh lift, TT w/ 360 lipo, breast implants, and fat transfe

Would it be safe to do all of this in one surgery?
Oct 29, 2018

There are many advantages to combining surgical procedures, but there are also risks involved so it is important to understand how the various areas relate to each other. The absolute number of procedures that you are having done is less important than the amount of time you will be under anesthesia. Every surgery operates at a different pace and some have assistants while others do not, which will both contribute to OR time. If all of these procedures can be performed in less than 6 hou...

Do you feel micropore tape over a tummy tuck incision will prevent scar stretching as well as embr

Will micropore tape work as well as embrace?
Oct 29, 2018

If you've never had any problems with tape, you likely won't have any problem with Embrace either. While the concept behind the micropore tape and embrace is similar, embrace should do a better job of relieving tension from the scar as it is specifically designed to do so. For my patients that elect not to have embrace after a tummy tuck, I recommend leaving the steri strips on for 6 weeks after surgery to use the steri strips as tension relief, with the micropore tape essentially s...

Should I stop lifting weights before a Brachioplasty?

Should I stop lifting weights?
Oct 29, 2018

As you can tell by the answers you get from a site like this, there is not always a standard for preoperative instructions given by plastic surgeons. Personally, I don't think you would cause any harm in continuing weight lifting up to the time of surgery, but ultimately I would recommend following your plastic surgeon's advice. He or she has examined you in person and will want you to follow his or her instructions for you best results. Certainly, you should avoid weight lifting after su...

Does my belly button look normal after my tummy tuck?

Is my belly button OK?
Oct 29, 2018

Thanks for your question and pic, as it helps to answer your question, though the picture of the belly button itself is a little dark. At a month out from surgery, as long as the incisions are intact, it is unlikely that the problem is directly from your belly button. It appears that the skin above your belly button and also to the side is somewhat irritated and is likely the source of the leakage you are noticing. These areas should go on to heal fine, though it is possible that you co...
