6 months after BA, do my boobs look normal?
6 months after BA
May 28, 2019
I believe you are off to a good start. Without looking at your pre operative photos the shape at this point looks good. It is always best practice to follow up with your surgeon for a six month exam to ensure there is no development of encapsulation or bottoming out.
What are minimally invasive and skin tightening options for my saggy and asymmetrical breasts? (ph
Breast lifting without surgery
May 16, 2019
Currently there are no non surgical options that would deliver a result that you would be pleased with. A vertical lift that corrected your shape issues and reduced the areola size to match your breast would create a reliable result that would create years of a beautiful breast. Obtain a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who performs vertical breast lifts on a regular basis to get your best results.
Almost 5 months post neck lift. I had a steroid shot for swelling and the jawline not the same. Is
5 months post neck lift with healing concerns
May 7, 2019
Often times in face and neck surgery one side seems to heal faster than the other side. In most instances both sides catch up a the finish line. You should go back and examine closely the contour and shape of your neck comparing the right to the left side prior to your surgery. In many instances there are some differences in shape and contour to begin with that will help explain the difference you are experiencing now. I would revisit your surgeons office...
Could I be further reduced with liposuction?
Could I be further reduced by Liposuction
May 7, 2019
Two months post op is too early to be planning the next surgery for additional reduction. I would wait 8-12 months to obtain results that look like a final shape and size. At that point your surgeon and you can make a decision whether liposuction alone would reduce the size of the breast and what effects it might have on shape. When you reach the point where swelling is minimal it may take more than liposuction to get you to a place where all of your concerns are...
Open wounds at T section and around nipple from breast reduction. Do these look normal? What else
open wound at the T site
May 7, 2019
Healing problems after breast reduction can occur at this location as it is the one place of tension where the skin edges come together. I will eventually heal in a few weeks time and the discoloration and scarring with be acceptable in most cases. I would be in contact with your surgeon to discuss options for dressing changes that will help move the process along. The nipple area will take some time as well to heal and calm down. Make sure your surgeon is aware of...
If I'm a 38i in a bra size what's the smallest size I can go down to with a reduction and a lift?
Bra size after breast reduction
May 7, 2019
Your question is a very common concern prior to seeking a breast reduction procedure. Your current size is quite large and also for your frame size. I recommend reducing the breast down to a size that will match your frame and incorporates enough reduction in weight to make you comfortable. You likely would end up in the large C or smaller D size range. This level of reduction would give you significant relief from neck and back pain and also leave enough...

Tummy Tuck vs Liposuction
Apr 8, 2019
Thank you for sending photos which demonstrates that you have a very visible muscle separation of the rectus muscle. Liposuction of your abdomen will not improve your muscle separation and you will be disappointed with the results. A tummy tuck procedure will directly address the muscle separation along with skin excision and create the flat stomach you are looking for. You will be very pleased with a tummy tuck procedure that will create a flat stomach for many years.
When implants are placed under the muscle, what happens with the muscles during and after explanta
Muscles after explantation
Apr 8, 2019
Following removal of submuscular implants with no replacement the pectorals muscle is generally left intact with no injury. The muscle is generally released in the lower breast and it will not reattach however the muscle will still function to some degree. Removal of implants without explantation generally works out well for most patients.
Do internal facelift stitches dissolve?
facelift sutures after surgery
Apr 8, 2019
There are different types of sutures used in facelift surgery. Over the greater auricular nerve there may be absorbable or non absorbable sutures. Your concern will likely resolve over time when the sutures relax and the nerve will recover. Let some additional time pass and your symptoms will resolve. There is no X ray or other diagnostic study to show the position of the sutures.
Is this swelling? Started around Day 5 postop after a coughing fit.
Bulge 5 days after a tummy tuck
Mar 3, 2019
From you photos it does not look like a significant amount of swelling that will require additional treatment. Its possible that a small amount of blood from a local hematoma could collect from a coughing episode but appears unlikely you will need to have it removed. Continue to monitor the hardness or swelling and report back to your physician if there are any new changes. It appears you are off to a good result.

Breast Lift Revision
Mar 3, 2019
Your wish list photo is a result from woman who had much smaller breasts with no skin laxity and had a large implant placed. After pregnancy and some aging breast skin it is difficult to achieve a result like the photo you showed. Its possible with a secondary lift and some pocket manipulation you could obtain improvement. I would revisit your surgeon for additional options.
I had a tummy tuck 3 months ago. Is it safe to start doing crunches to strength out my abdominal m
Is it safe to do crunches 3 months post tummy tuck
Mar 3, 2019
Generally at 3 months it is safe to start abdominal exercises after a tummy tuck. With the unhealed areas in your incision I would be very cautious to put any stress on the incisions because there are several areas still open. Consult your physician who performed the surgery before starting any stretching or other abdominal exercises.
Pain to the left of the belly button. Could I have damaged the MR?
Pain near the Umbilicus
Feb 26, 2019
In the immediate post operative period local pain around the umbilicus in the absence of severe swelling and redness is generally due to sutures placed into the muscle fascia. It is quite common to have localized pain in the areas of the suture for the first few days. If the severe pain persists then have your surgeon see you.
Can I safely have a Face and one sided neck lift after neck dissection. Ex cancer patient.
Facial surgery after cancer and radiation
Feb 4, 2019
You have existing differences between each side currently with more aging on the unoperated right side. The surgery would require careful dissection on the radiation side but could be performed. The non radiated side will require more aggressive surgery to obtain the best symmetrical result.
Could this be an infection after my breast reduction and lift 12 weeks ago?
Infected suture
Feb 4, 2019
At 12 weeks post op the most likely cause is an inflammatory response to the absorbable sutures around the nipple. Once the suture is removed the inflammation will resolve. It is very localized problem and healing in other area should not be effected.
