Do I need a Full Tummy Tuck or Umbilical Float Tummy Tuck - or nothing?

What should I do. Too many opinions, inclined to do nothing.
Jul 28, 2023

I like the do nothing option. Nothing, looking at you cries out to be done, and you can live just fine with a small asymptomatic umbilical hernia. The subtleties of the options you were told can be related to measuring the distance of xiphoid to pubis, dividing by 1/2 or marking 2/3 the distance down from xiphoid. Between those two marks, Hoyos, et al., PRS 12, 2022, says you figure out how much the umbilicus will slide down if released. If it does not slide down out of that zone, you can...

IMF reconstruction - what are my treatment options?

Loss of inframammary fold
Jul 28, 2023

Real Self is not primarily a self-referral service, but an educational service for the public. No facts are presented that would illuminate this situation for everyone, e.g., what was done to cause this problem. Maybe it was in the process of placing and or removing pectoral implants, maybe not.
But in general, if something is loose or detached, you sew it back down. For example, when women have a reverse tummy tuck, an incision under the breast at the IM fold is made, the upper...

How long must I wait to have a tummy tuck after stomach fistula removal?

How long to wait for tummy tuck after surgical removal of stomach fistula
Jul 28, 2023

Everything has to be healed, soft and uninfected. After an inflammatory process it may take a year for conditions to be conducive to a tummy tuck. This is a very special situation that would need access to all the facts and a visual, hands on exam in your plastic surgeon's office.

Surgical and non-surgical options to reduce my protruding chin?

Chin prominence correction
Jul 28, 2023

You probably have prominence due to the mandible having a boney structure that projects your soft tissue. You would likely need to some kind of reduction genioplasty (boney chin surgery).
You would consult a plastic surgeon that does genioplasty as part of their practice or a maxillofacial surgeon for x-rays to evaluate the relationship of the prominence to your soft tissue and dental anatomy. Then an operation to reduce the prominence could be determined, as there are various ways to reduce...

Fat transfe for dent?

Dent after RF next to nose
Jul 28, 2023

Yes, fat grafting would be a nice approach to fix this problem, more permanent than fillers. It may accentuated by aging, which is suggested by the wrinkled appearance of the skin adjacent. Some fractional or ablative laser to tighten the under eye area could help also.

Do I have a tubular breasts?

Do I have tuberous breasts?
Jul 28, 2023

More like a herniated nipple-areola complex than a tuberous breast. Since the nipple position is pretty high on the breast, but the breast is just small, options include surgery to correct the excess protrusion and potential volume addition with either an implant or fat grafting.

Do I have tuberous breasts? If so, what type?

Tuberous breasts, do I have them? Afraid to see plastic surgeon until I know what I have
Jul 28, 2023

You have tuberous breasts. This challenges the plastic surgeon, because few of us deal with this problem frequently. So two papers that discuss the issue show that the tuberous breast comes in a lot of variations with different degrees of lower pole hypoplasia, volume, nipple areola configuration. Using just one method like an implant and lift can lead to a double-bubble in some variations due to the insufficient and short nipple to fold distance to fit an implant. In some cases, two...

Am I good a candidate or eligible for lipo360 &/or tummy tuck?

Am I a Candidate for 360 lipo and tummy tuck, 5'0 168 lbs.
Jul 28, 2023

Not the greatest candidate because your BMI is about 33, obese. However, it is doable. You may not get as flat a stomach as you would like, because the intra-abdominal fat present due to your weight will make hard to tighten your front. Here's a pic of a lady with a BMI of 30, 5'1" and 160 to give you an idea.
There's another patient in the gallery with a BMI of 33, two weeks post op and you can see the results will not be as pleasing.

Am I a candidate for inner thigh lipo? Afraid it'd leave me with loose skin

Inner thigh lipo: the loose skin question
Jul 28, 2023

You are a great candidate for inner thigh lipo. Skin is tight, elastic and fat that bothers you is localized. This can still be done badly and cause irregularities or waviness if over done. Find an experienced plastic surgeon who is comfortable doing this "unforgiving" area, and you should be happy. Limit the lipo just to the bulge.
By the way, this has to be done from the front and the back, usually start on the back with an incision in the medial infragluteal crease, because that's...

22, 440cc, Motiva, smooth round, extra high, is this a double bubble deformity? How can it be fixed

Can I fix this deformity after subpectoral augmentation
Jul 28, 2023

Maybe. It looks like a bit too much distance and skin excess between nipple and medial inframammary fold. The way the implant hangs in the loose skin allows the folding or deformation of the implant shell that is causing this appearance. This might be improved by tightening up the capsule in that area and taking up some of the slack.
However, we are not being shown an animation view, with flexion of the pectoralis muscles. There is the possibility that the surgeon over-released the...

How long after getting a tummy tuck do the drainage come out?

How long after getting a tummy tuck do the drains come out?
Jul 28, 2023

Like never, since I do not use drains. If surgeons want to, they can do drainless tummy tucks and mini tummy tucks. All they have to do is sew the flap down with individual or running barbed sutures, sufficient to close off the dead space and then no drains are needed.
If the usual technique is done, and drains are used, the operation is over sooner, but the drains have to stay in, and no one knows how long to leave them in, because no matter how long you leave them in, within reason,...

Why aren't there many Breast lifts w/ implants over the muscle? Under the muscle looks deformed

Why do so many breast lifts look bad, like Snoopy. Is it because they are under the muscle?
Jul 28, 2023

No, it's just because they weren't done properly. You can find a myriad of pictures online and in the aesthetic surgery literature of beautiful breast augmentation lifts, so obviously, whoever did the ones whose pictures you don't like, didn't do them right.
Planning nipple position is a bit tricky, and if it is too low, and the implant is a bit too big, everything is working in the wrong direction to create just what you find objectionable.
Proper size implant, centered on the ...

Cellulite, stretch marks and laxity - what is the best procedure?

Cellulite and post BBL
Jul 28, 2023

It is impossible to tell what is going on from these pictures. We have to assume the first picture is a BEFORE BBL, because the skin is really deflated. There are a lot of stretch marks. If the second picture is an AFTER, then all we see is regular cellulite dimples.
This should be treated with a method that is specific for cellulite, like Cellulaze. There are a variety of other technologies marketed for cellulite and some of them show some results as well. However, treatments that...

Why is this breast lift + implants so bad? What can be done to fix this?

Not pleased with breast lift and mastopexy
Jul 28, 2023

Pretty unfortunate. Who decided on the size of the implant? Whatever the size, this one is not in proportion to your body, and it is hard to believe the implant is sitting at the bottom of the pocket; it looks too high, meaning it should be lowered if is up too high on the chest wall, but if it is overly large for your breast width and footprint, you won't be able to lower it much. Information on your height would be helpful. The upper pocket has no resistance to the upward pressure from...

Will a chin implant give me more facial balance?

Will my planned chin implant give me more "facial balance"
Jul 28, 2023

You have a nice profile, and you don't need a chin implant, but since you have already to go ahead and get one, yes, it will enhance your facial balance, making a good appearance incrementally more what you have in mind, with the chin a bit more prominent to go with your nasal profile.
