Doctor's answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
How Much Do Butt Injections Cost?
Butt injections cost
Sep 28, 2021
In my practice, we use fat taken from other areas in the body and then inject it into the buttocks to add volume and shape. This is called a Brazilian Butt Lift or a BBL. Prices can vary depending on multiple factors. Location, doctor experience, and patient body type can all be reasons for variations in price. In my practice, the price includes the surgeon fees, hospital fees, and anesthesia fees. That is about $6500-10,000. An in-person consultation is the best way to get an accurate quote.

How much does Botox cost?
Botox Pricing
Feb 25, 2021
Every office has different charges, however we charge $15 per unit for botox. Every new patient receves 15% off their first injection.
Can we use HSA/FSA funds for diastasis recti when combine with an abdominoplasty?
HSA for tummy tuck
Dec 3, 2019
It would really be dependent on your HSA policy. In general it is hard for a plastic surgeon to say a tummy tuck is medically necessary. Check in with your HSA policy, but usually a tummy tuck is considered a cosmetic procedure. 
What treatment options do I have for huge, deepened, surgical scar on my abdomen?
Mid abdominal scar
Dec 3, 2019
It is hard to say without an in person examination. You are either a candidate for a scar revision or a tummy tuck. Each have positives and negatives- which can be discussed at your consultation. Knowing your age and whether you have or want children is also important information.
Do butt implants harden or soften? Can I gain muscle over the implant? If I gain weight shortly after
Butt implant questions
Dec 3, 2019
Those are a lot of questions regarding butt implants. The answers can vary from surgeon to surgeon because everyone uses a different technique and implant selection. In general, most implants do get softer with time. The muscle can grow with working out. Weight gain can augment fat grafting to the hips. Schedule a consult with your board certified plastic surgeon. 
Would I be a good candidate for a tummy tuck or should I lose more weight?
Goal weight prior to Tummy tuck
Nov 4, 2019
Ideally, I would like you to be at a weight you can maintain both before and after surgery. I do not want someone to binge diet prior to surgery because you will likely gain it back after surgery and could potentially affect your results. Once you are at a stable weight that you can maintain, then you are an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck.Visit a board certified plastic surgeon to schedule a consultation.
Don't solid buttock implants put too much strain on the muscle?
Solid silicone implants
Nov 4, 2019
As answered prior, a solid silicone implant is the one approved in the US for use. The way I think of it is that the implants are being sat upon and an implant that can rupture may not be the best idea. I use a subfascial plane that goes under a portion of the muscle. It usually does not affect the muscle because it is not completely under the muscle.Once the implants soften after a few months, they tend not to bother my patients.
What kind of permanent sutures are safest in a tummy tuck to ensure no long term allergic response?
No long term allergic response with sutures
Oct 17, 2019
In your particular case, I would recommend not having permanent sutures placed. Long term absorbable sutures can be used and they would not be present after 6 months. You may have a slightly higher chance of having a little more laxity of your abdominal wall, but it should be minimal.
Tummy tuck / lipo of back and flanks?
Being flat after a tummy tuck
Oct 17, 2019
You are going to have terrific results after you tummy tuck, but you may never be flat like you were prior to having kids. I try to let my patient's know that their muscles will be brought together and their skin will be removed, but sometimes we can't always achieve an ideal result due to the anatomy of their bodies. Good luck in your surgery, you really will have great results but please don't expect complete flatness!!!
2 weeks post breast implants and still not dropping or soft. Is that normal?
Breasts hard and haven't dropped 2 weeks after surgery

Breast can be hard and not drop for about 3 months after surgery. If you are very concerned talk with your surgeon and get re-assured. It is really hard to have patience after surgery, but it takes time for the body to heal. 
Would I require a lift with my implants to create more fullness in my breasts?
Implants or implants and a lift
Oct 17, 2019
If you are looking for more volume then implants are your best choice. Depending on the size of implants that you choose, you may not need a lift. Implants should give you the volume you desire and you may avoid the scars of a lift. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to get the answers you desire.
Do I have to choose a dr in a hospital if I want tummy tuck (covered by insurance) and other procedure
How do I choose a Dr. in a hospital
Sep 17, 2019
Tummy tucks are considered cosmetic procedures and are not covered by insurance. Certain other procedures that go along with tummy tucks, such as hernia repairs or breast reductions can be covered by insurance. Choosing a doctor in a hospital can be tricky. First make sure that they are a board certified plastic surgeon. Then see if they specialize or frequently do the procedures that you are interested in having. Finally have a consultation and see if you are comfortable with the surgeon ...
Would you be worried about performing a TT on me if I had scarring and an internal hard ridge?
Tummy tuck when you have previous scars
Sep 17, 2019
Tummy tucks are commonly performed when patients have low vertical scars. It helps convert that vertical scar to a low horizontal scar that can be hidden below the belt line. It does take a little more effort to get through the scar tissue but a board certified plastic surgeon has that training. I think a tummy tuck with liposuction would give you great results and hid your scar under you underwear.
