Aloha. Sorry to hear about your bad experience and thanks for sharing your photo. Returning to your original surgeon is generally the best option. But getting a second opinion[in person] from an experienced Surgeon, Certified by The American Board Of Plastic Surgery[ ABPS] and a member of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), can be helpful.

I'm trying to decide if I want only a Breast Lift or a lift with fat transfer - what do you recom
Breast Lift or a lift with fat transfer
Mar 20, 2022
Aloha, it does appear that a lift would be helpful to you. A Vertical/Lollipop or Anchor lift would lift more and last longer. Although you have good size, if you want more upper fullness, you may also need/want a small implant under the muscle, although fat grafting is an option. I recommend that you see an experienced board certified plastic surgeonto review your options after an office consultation and thorough exam. Virtual/3D imaging is also an option we offer.

Aloha and thanks for your question. It's hard to give exact answers based on your 1 photo. But it appears that you have significant skin stretch marks and looseness and you probably have that in your muscles as well. So muscle repair will probably help and allow for even more skin to be removed. Difficult to answer about flank lipo. I hope this helps. I would recommend you seeing an experienced Surgeon, Certified by The American Board Of Plastic Surgery[ ABPS] and a member of The American...
Tummy Tuck AFTER Mini Tigh Lift ok?
Tummy Tuck AFTER Mini Thigh Lift
Sep 16, 2021
Aloha and thanks for your question. It should be fine to have your Thigh Lift now and a Tummy Tuck later. The scars and muscle anchoring should not be a problem; if planned and done correctly. I hope this helps. I would recommend you seeing an experienced Surgeon, Certified by The American Board Of Plastic Surgery[ABPS] and a member of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) for an in-office consult. We are now also offering Crisalix 3D Imaging that can be very helpful. Mahalo, Dr D

Nostril reduction surgery

Aloha and thanks for your question. It's possible that a simple nostril reduction surgery would be enough. But if you want to address the Hump, that could be done at the same time. I hope this helps.

Would I need a lift to get to what I would like to get to?
Large Implants vs Lift
Mar 31, 2021
Aloha and thanks for your question. While large implants can give you some upper fullness, they will not lift your breast or the nipple/areola. Plus you'll probably need an underwire/push-up bra to get the look in your other photos. So if that's ok with you, that's fine. I would consider at least a Donut Lift to raise/even the Nipple/areola position. These scars normally heal very well and can also be used to place the implants; so no additional scars! If you really want the 'after' look of...
Do I appear to be a good candidate for abdominal/flank liposuction vs tummy tuck?
abdominal/flank liposuction vs tummy tuck
Mar 10, 2021
Aloha and thanks for your question. Without photos it's hard to give specific recommendations.
Based on your history, you might would get the best results with Liposuction and/or a Tummy Tuck; which could be able to be done at the same time. If you are done having children, then I would probably tighten/repair the muscles with the TT. However, if you might have more kids, then I would consider a modified TT/liposuction for now. I hope this helps.

Piezo rhinoplasty the best method for achieving a flattering nose? And will chin filler help my n
Rhinoplasty and chin filler
Mar 2, 2021
Aloha and thanks for your question. It appears you would be a good candidate for Rhinoplasty to narrow and refine the shape of your lower nose/tip. It's not clear from the photos that much needs to be done to the upper bony portion. Your septum probably does not have much effect on your outside appearance. Fillers[like Radiesse] would be a temporary non-surgical option for your chin.
I recommend extreme caution when considering overseas Plastic Surgery! While costs can be lower,...
Will a facelift help with hollowness under eyes?
I have deep set eyes and dark circles too. Will a facelift with fat grafting help with that?
Feb 25, 2021
Aloha and thanks for your question. Without photos[or better an in-office consult] it's difficult to know what the exact problem or best solutions would be? Under Eye Volume Loss is actually a combination of fat descent into the upper check and mild prominence of the lower eyelid fat. This creates a depression over the lower eye-socket bone. Fillers could be tried to temporarily fill the depression, but fat grafting and a cheek lift would be more long-lasting. Additionally, transconjunctival...
I'm turning 50, is it time for a facelift?
Ultherapy or MACS Facelift
Feb 14, 2021
Aloha and thanks for your excellent question. The real answer depends on your expectations and your budget. Ultherapy can give mild short-term results, with almost no down-time and at a fraction of the cost. A MACS lift will give more dramatic and longer-lasting results, but with greater costs and recovery. I would recommend you see an experienced Surgeon Certified by The American Board Of Plastic Surgery[ABPS] and a member of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) for an in-office...
Should I get an extended tummy tuck, FDL TT, or lower body lift?
FDL TT or whatever bothers YOU the most!
Jan 29, 2021
Aloha and thanks for you photos/questions.
I think you will get the biggest improvement with an FDL TT. This is a pretty big surgery and I probably would not combine it with another procedure; especially for an outer island patient. Then you could do Flank Lipo/BBL for that hourglass shape! Breasts/Thighs/Arms could be done later, but it's up to you and your finances to decide. I would recommend you see an experienced Surgeon Certified by The American Board Of Plastic Surgery[ABPS] and a...

Oct 6, 2020
Aloha and thanks for your question. It appears that your Under Eye Volume Loss is actually a combination of fat descent into the upper check and mild prominence of the lower eyelid fat. This creates a depression over the lower eye-socket bone. Fillers could be tried to temporarily fill the depression, but fat grafting would be more long-lasting. Additionally, transconjunctival fat transfer may be helpful. Costs would vary from a few hundred to a several thousand dollars. You probably don't...
