Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I have indentations, spider veins and hyperpigmentation after my augmentation. What can be done for
Poor quality scars after breast augmentation with inframammary approach
Aug 12, 2023
There is always something that can be done to improve scars and sometimes the best treatment is time and patience. All scars go through stages or phases of healing and the first stage is the "inflammatory" stage where scars are thick, pink and slightly raised. The last stage of wound healing is the "remodeling" stage where scars flatten and fade. If you want to try to fade the hyperpigmentation and take away some of the redness of the early inflammatory stage; a series of IPL (Intense Pulsed...
Breast reduction regrets / loss of sensation. Is there anything I can do to fix these issues?
Breast reduction regret
Jul 28, 2023
Be reassured that there is always something that can be done to improve breast size, shape, and scars. Correction may even require a small implant or fat grafting, which seems crazy because the initial problem was caused by breasts that were too large. There are new procedures that can improve sensation as well. It's OK to seek out a second opinion.
How natural will implants look/feel on me?
Natural feel after breast augmentation
Jul 28, 2023
The best recommendation can only be made after a thorough examination in person, and you must realize that there are limits to breast augmentation surgery. The ideal implant for you based on your breast dimensions may not give you the appearance in your fantasy photo. Fantasy photos of the desired result are a great tool to help communicate desires and expectations, but they are only a conversation starter and may NOT be realistic. In regard to how the breast will "feel," you need to clarify...
What is the ideal distance for incision through the armpits in a breast augmentation?
Ideal position of transaxillary scar
Jul 20, 2023
In my practice the position of the scar is placed high in the axilla but everyone is different in the position of the natural creases under the arm. In most patients there is a crease at the apex of the axilla and then a second crease that is approximately 1 to 2 cm. below the apex. The incision for transaxillary breast augmentation is usually placed in this second crease. The incision can be made in the apex crease but great care must be taken to avoid the axillary vein and artery and there...
How bad are my tuberous breasts?
Tuberous breast insecurity
Jul 20, 2023
I am so sorry that your breasts are causing you pain and anxiety. The good news is that you have very nice volume as most patients with tuberous breast deformity require an implant to restore volume in the constricted breasts. The areolas have stretched to quite a large size and I would recommend a two stage procedure where initially a pursestring suture is placed to pre-stretch the skin and remove tension around the areola when the second stage is performed to reduce the size of the areola....
What can be done for my alar retraction?
Alar retraction following 2 rhinoplasties
Jul 20, 2023
There are many features of your nose that are quite attractive and it is very difficult to evaluate completely without true lateral photos. It appears that the problem that you are describing is NOT alar retraction as much as columellar show which seems to be more noticeable on the right side than on the left. There is nostril asymmetry and slight alar retraction on the right side that could be addressed with revisional surgery which would include an alar or perialar rim cartilage graft....
Please recommend what is the best procedure to remove my saddlebags?
Best procedure for saddlebags
Jul 20, 2023
The best procedure for you particular situation would be a Lateral thigh lift as popularized by Dr. Jean-Francois Pascal in Lyon, France. Unfortunately there will be scars on the outside of the buttock and thigh but the change in shape is truly remarkable. Check out his website and results.
What can I do to correct a bulge after liposuction?
Abdominal contour problems after liposuction
Jul 12, 2023
A good assessment and proper recommendation can only be made with a consultation in person, but it appears that the contour problem could be improved with additional liposuction. There is a chance the bulging is caused by intra-abdominal fat and that would be a much more difficult problem to treat. An examination in person could help you determine the best course.
Had under eye filler twice, what is this line under my eye?
Prominent line in lower lid following filler
Jun 19, 2023
The line in the photos looks like filler that was injected to superficially in the skin. Dissolve it with hyaluronidase and start over with a deeper injection of filler.
Female, 20 & ski slope nose is my ideal, is it possible to change the shape of a nose bridge? (Photo
Unhappy with shape of nose
Jun 19, 2023
Unfortunately, one lateral or oblique photo does not provide enough information to offer an opinion in regard to rhinoplasty surgery.
Upper abdomen rounded over 6 months after tummy tuck - should I consider a revision?
Upper abdominal fullness following tummy tuck
Jun 19, 2023
This often happens when a mini tummy tuck is performed on a patient that needs a full tummy tuck. Only tightening the lower abdomen (below the belly button) is usually what is performed in a "mini" tummy tuck procedure as the upper abdomen may seem tight. With the tightening of the lower abdomen, laxity and bulging can be transferred to the upper abdomen. If you had full tightening of your diastasis from the xyphoid to the pubic bone, the suture or repair may have failed. The other...
Side Profile - I'm looking for help, recommendations for a more aesthetically appealing side profile
Dissatsifaction with Radiesse to the jawline
Jun 19, 2023
I don't think you are going to be happy with any procedure that does not include some liposuction of the neck. This can usually be done in the office under local anesthesia with or without minor sedation. Good luck to you.
Ptosis revision - what would you do as an oculoplastic surgeon?
Persistent asymmetry following ptosis repair
Jun 19, 2023
Your ptosis repair was an absolute success. Congratulations to your surgeon. The asymmetries that are now noticeable are the asymmetries in the lengths of the lower lids and the rounded lateral canthus on the contralateral eye. The lower lid is more bowed or inferiorly distracted on that side as a result. This could be addressed with horizontal shortening of the lower lid or a tarsal strip procedure.
Deep indent between my brows from surgery as an infant. Could I correct it with rhinoplasty, fillers
Contour irregularity in glabella
May 19, 2023
Some type of filler would probably be easier than recontouring the forehead (bone remodeling) or rhinoplasty. I would try a temporary filler first and see if you like the correction. If you are happy with the result from the temporary filler, a more permanent filler like calcium carbonate or porous hydroxyapatite could be used.
Will my revision results turn out better or worse? Should I revise bottoming out? 6 year old implant
Breast augmentation revision for bottoming out
May 19, 2023
If the breast implants were initially placed under the pectoralis major muscle, it is apparent that they now have pushed out from under the muscle and are essentially on top of the muscle. Revision would best be performed by enlarging the pre-pectoral pocket and placing the implants totally on top of the muscle with recreation and elevation of the inframammary fold supported by mesh. Mesh should be used to prevent recurrent bottoming out even after removing the muscular force that caused the...
