Question

Answer Header & Date

Answer Snippet

Tummy tuck with lipo, why does the price of the surgery vary so much from surgeon to surgeon?

The cost of these procedures varies for a variety of different reasons.
Sep 2, 2019

Not all tummy tuck and liposuction procedures and techniques are the same and what one plastic surgeon does can be different than another. Costs of surgical centers, anesthesiologists and supplies also contribute to the varying of prices, as does the experience of the surgeon. In most cases, the quoted price includes all of these fees. Costs tend to be higher if the facility is located in a bigger city and the experience of the plastic surgeon.

How do you determine if you need a full or a mini tummy tuck?

The type of procedure needed will depend on your needs.
Sep 2, 2019

Determining which tummy tuck is appropriate depends on how much sagging skin and abdominal laxity is present. For patients that have had children, a full tummy tuck is usually recommended. A full tummy tuck addresses the skin from the navel to the pubic area and the full length of the abdominal wall. In this procedure, excess skin is removed and the abdominal muscles are tightened. Oftentimes, liposuction is added to remove excess fat for better body contouring.

A mini tummy tuck...

Why do doctors still use BMI as the determining factor for liposuction?

BMI is a general indicator of candidacy for liposuction, but it’s not always accurate.
Aug 2, 2019

Great question! In many instances, BMI is still a good indicator of a person’s overall physical health and the level of surgical risk during a cosmetic procedure. But as you’ve mentioned, there are instances when BMI is inaccurate, as seems to be the case for you. Instead of looking at BMI, your plastic surgeon can consider a measurement called waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). This compares your waist circumference to your hip circumference and can provide a more accurate measurement.

To fin...

Am I a candidate for liposuction and tummy tuck? I'm 29 my height is 5'3 my weight is 226.

Losing weight before your tummy tuck can reduce risks and improve your results.
Aug 2, 2019

Hello, and thank you for your question. It is best to try to come as close to your target weight as possible before getting a tummy tuck and liposuction. These aren’t weight loss procedures, so you won’t likely see a significant drop in weight afterward. There are also increased surgical risks for anyone with a BMI of 30 or higher. However, you can go ahead and schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon now if you’d like to discuss a treatment plan and timeline and help ...

How is it possible that I still weigh the exact same as before surgery?

Your weight after surgery can be influenced by several factors.
Jul 2, 2019

Your weight 3 days after tummy tuck and liposuction surgery could be impacted by a number of factors that don't relate to your percentage of body fat or the results from your surgery. The extra weight you see could be attributed to swelling, fluid retention, inflammation or even your fat transfer. During the healing process, which can take several months, don't be surprised to see your weight fluctuate. The number on the scale is not directly correlated to your eventual results, so be patient!

1 month post op BA, half of my left breast is completely numb. Will this go away with time? Can speed u

Each breast will heal at a different rate after augmentation surgery.
Jul 2, 2019

You are absolutely right that your breasts will heal differently after breast augmentation surgery, though it's easy to see why you would be concerned about numbness in one and not the other. You're still very newly healing from surgery, so some numbness is not uncommon. The recovery time for breast augmentation can be anywhere from 6 months to a year. In your next post-op appointment, mention the numbness to your surgeon and continue to closely follow their recommendations for post-op care...

7 days post op breast lifts with implants and TT revision. Will my tummy tuck scar stay raised? Does it

It’s still too early to assess your results.
Jun 3, 2019

Congrats on your recent breast procedure and tummy tuck revision. At just seven days post-op, you’re still very early on in the recovery process and are definitely not seeing your final results yet. Your scar will change significantly over the coming weeks and months—in fact, it can take up to 18 months for a scar to fully mature. Based on your photos, it appears to be healing just fine so far, but check in with your plastic surgeon if you have specific concerns. Otherwise, focus on h...

6 months post op mommy makeover. Is there any medical reason to continue to wear the compression garmen

No, compression garments are typically only worn for the first 6 to 8 weeks.
Jun 3, 2019

Hello, and thanks for your question. This is something you’ll want to check with your plastic surgeon about, but generally speaking, compression garments are worn for around 6 to 8 weeks after a tummy tuck. After that period, the majority of your swelling should be diminished and there is no need to wear it anymore. Again, every plastic surgeon has a different set of guidelines, so I would check in with him or her before getting rid of it. Hope you’re seeing great results so far!

Exercise After Tummy Tuck Surgery

After a tummy tuck, you will resume your activities in stages.
Apr 17, 2019

Though everyone’s recovery experience is different, you can expect your full recovery from a tummy to take around 6 weeks. A tummy tuck is an invasive procedure that requires a certain amount of downtime, so you should expect to take off about 2 weeks of work or school. You may be given permission to get on your feet to walk around and get your circulation moving after the first week. After the next few weeks or so, you will most likely be cleared by your surgeon to resume your usual r...

Can you have a baby after a tummy tuck?

The type of tummy tuck you choose could determine your recovery time.
Apr 17, 2019

Thank you for your question. The simple way to answer your question is to say that you can absolutely have a baby after you have a tummy tuck. However, your pregnancy will cause your skin and abdominal muscles to stretch again in order to make room for the baby, which could potentially undo all of the progress you have made since your surgery. This doesn’t mean that it can’t be done, but it is usually recommended that you wait until you’re done having children to have your tummy tuck. Good ...

What is the best treatment for scars after a Breast Lift?

There are multiple scar treatment options after a breast lift.
Mar 6, 2019

There are multiple options for scar treatments, so be sure to consult with your plastic surgeon to get their opinion. Silicone sheets and/or silicone gel are relatively easy to use and cost-effective options to help reduce the look of scarring after a breast lift. Consistent massaging of the scar has also been known to help. If these methods aren’t working for you, a laser treatment may be a possibility if your doctor deems you a candidate.
Remember that scars can take up to a year to p...

Does liposuction of multiple areas of body means I will gain more weight in my face?

Genetics will determine weight gain after liposuction.
Mar 6, 2019

Hello, and thank you for your question. To put it simply, there’s no actual way to know how fat will be distributed throughout your body after liposuction. It’s a similar situation to how we are unable to target specific areas of the body for weight loss.
If you do gain weight after liposuction, your body will put that fat into storage in an area where you tend to naturally gain. Your genetic disposition is more likely to determine where your body fat is located.
Keeping that in mind, mak...

Does a big C cup looks like a possibility even though I am currently an AA cup?

You should be able to achieve your desired size.
Feb 5, 2019

This question is a bit more complicated than it may seem, as breast implants are rarely discussed in terms of bra cup sizes. The reason for that is that a C cup in one brand and style of bra could be a completely different size in another. Instead, implants are measured in cubic centimeters of volume. Additionally, you want to take into account your natural body proportions when choosing an implant size—not just cup size.
All that said, you should have no problem achieving your breast...

Could this be liposuction swelling or not?

Yes, you’re not seeing your final results just yet.
Feb 5, 2019

Hello, thanks for your question. It does look like you’re already starting to see some results after liposuction, which is great. But keep in mind that it will take several more weeks to start seeing your final results, so as hard as it may be, try to stay patient and give your body some more time to heal and recuperate. If you’re still unhappy with your liposuction results around the 3 to 4 month mark, discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon.

Which breast augmentation incision is the best? Areola or under the boob?

There are benefits to both incision techniques.
Jan 7, 2019

This is a great question, and one that you should be sure to discuss with your plastic surgeon before your breast augmentation. The inframammary incision (under your breasts) tends to be the most popular, since it may reduce the risk of capsular contracture and provides easy access to the breast pocket for precise implant placement. One of the benefits of the periareolar incision is that the resulting scar can be very easily hidden. However, if you plan to breastfeed in the future, this may...
