Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Is muscle repair necessary with tummy tuck? PT said my separation is minimal.
Muscle tightening with tummy-tuck
Oct 4, 2018
Having lost 90 pounds, I would predict that you, will likely need plication of the rectus muscles to get a flat stomach whether you have a divarication or not!It is in the rare patient, with perhaps washboard abs, no fat and severe stretch marks, that this would not be carried out. I would go as far as to say that I would not plicate such a patient even if she had a divarication.
I am 58, interested in correcting lower face and jowls. Am I am candidate for MACS Facelift?
MACS Lift
Aug 15, 2018
Actually, from what I can see, you are a good candidate for a MACS lift. I am teaching an anatomic dissection course on this operation at the forthcoming American Society of Plastic Surgeons Annual Meeting in Chicago. I would be happy to discuss in person!
I had capsule tightening 1 year after my BA, should I be massaging them this time?
The opposite of capsular contracture
Feb 20, 2018
Since your capsules were loose and had to be tightened, it is common sense that maneuvers to stretch them such as massage are contraindicated for now. However, if you were to develop some firmness indicating a capsular contracture, then I am sure your surgeon would want you to start massaging them again.
Follow-up: update on breast. Is this necrosis? Will I need a skin graft to try to finally look normal
Death of tissue is called ‘necrosis’
Jul 11, 2017
Yes, you have some necrosis of the nipple-areolar complex. In the case of a breast reduction, this is a well recognized complication and the recommended treatment is to manage it conservatively with dressings, as you are doing. You would expect it to heal with a slightly widened scar, which could be revised later. The situation is more complicated if an implant is involved. Here, the danger is of the surface bacterial contamination of the necrotic wound gaining access to the pocket …
Fat transfer for breast augmentation? One cup size increase.
Can a thin person have a breast augmentation by fat injection?
Jun 27, 2017
Thanks for your interesting question!O.K. somebody has to say it: you are too thin for this modality! Consider a silicone implant. It is safe, easy, cheaper and less likely to cause problems. Seek out a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
What type of lift will address my neck, platysma, lower face and also lift my cheeks slightly? (Photo
Addressing the thin neck with multiple bands
Jun 26, 2017
There are only two effective methods of removing hyper-dynamic neck bands in a thin neck. One is by repeated Botox injections and the other is by complete division of the platysma, in your case at the same time as facelift. 
Arm lift incision, is it possible to avoid the hair bearing skin and glands in armpit/axillary area?
Scars in armlift surgery
Jun 1, 2017
The scar in arm lift surgery extends longitudinally from the apex of the armpit down the inside of the upper arm. It hardly ever crosses the elbow joint into the forearm or reaches the armpit itself. However, following massive weight loss – due to gastric bypass or extreme dieting – all bets are off. In such cases the scars frequently cross these boundaries simply to taper the results and avoid unsightly dog-ears.
5’8″ and 110 pounds want 420cc HP – confused about size.
Confusion about the profile of breast implants
May 20, 2017
In the discussions about the choice of implants, I find that Plastic Surgeons are often just as confused as patients! The important issue in selection of an implant is to match the base width (footprint) of the implant with the base width of the breast. If the base width of the implant exceeds that of the breast then it will extend into the armpit and the patient will be unhappy. If it is less than the base width of the breast then it will look highly unnatural with a very wide cleavage and…
Was my periareolar mastopexy botched? Is a revision possible?
Use of the term “botched.”
May 18, 2017
No Plastic Surgeon likes to hear the word “botched” particularly from his or her own patients! Simply not liking the result of an operation does NOT mean it was botched (ie. performed in a clumsy or bungling manner). Sometimes there is a simple miscommunication between patient and surgeon about what is wanted. Sometimes unforeseen and unavoidable complications can arise that affect the final result; and occasionally forces come into play that are are unique to the individual patient and w…
I don’t like my Areola size and breast Shape, what are my options?
Large areolae will become larger with augmentation.
May 15, 2017
Thank you for your inquiry.  Do not worry: a solution is at hand! You have large nipple-areolar complexes and slightly tubular breasts. A simple augmentation might improve the shape of your breasts; but if nothing else is done, the nipple-areolar complexes will stretch out and become even larger. My approach would be to carry out a Benelli breast lift at the same time as an augmentation. This technique removes a donut-shaped piece of skin from the outer areola. Closure with a permanent ‘r…
Do I have tubular breasts or just saggy?
Breast changes in pregnancy
May 8, 2017
Congratulations on your new baby! Please do not consider breast surgery until at least 3-6 months after you stop breast feeding! Having said that you certainly do have grade 2-3 ptosis (droopiness) and this is unlikely to resolve spontaneously in my opinion. The good news is: you do not have tubular breasts.
When things settle down you may consider an augmentation, a breast lift or both. The size of your nipple-areolar complex can be adjusted at that time if it is still a problem.
And, yes,…
Discoloration on my stomach after exercise. I am 1 year post op of a Tummy Tuck. Should I be concerne
Skin discoloration after exercise following a tummy tuck
Apr 13, 2017
I am not surprised that nobody has answered this question yet: it is not a known problem and is hard to explain. A thorough examination is indicated with possibly an ultrasound to determine if there is a persisting seroma (fluid accumulation) in the tissues under the rash. Does the rash feel hot? If so, a low grade infection is possible. Is it getting worse or better? Worsening is also indicative of infection as is a mild fever. It is possible that the rash is a dermatological condition and …
Uneven crease due to CC or just bad placement?
Asymmetry after breast augmentation revision
Feb 23, 2017
Thanks for your excellent photographs. A recurrent capsular contracture is unlikely at only one month post-op particularly since you have had Alloderm placement. It is quite obvious to me that your right inframammary fold (crease) is too high. The setting of an inframammary fold is a key component of revisionary breast augmentation, particularly since the suturing of the lower border of the Alloderm sheet to the chest wall essentially defines where the inframammary fold should be. To be fa…
275cc to 375cc revision?
Areolar spreading after breast augmentation
Jan 3, 2017
I am sorry you are not happy with your result from breast augmentation. There are a number of issues here. The first is size. Clearly the size is not what you expected. A larger implant would help but it must have a base width considerably larger than the one you have, if you want to have anything approaching a ‘cleavage.’ I am afraid that to get a natural cleavage you would need much larger implants: an extra 100cc just won’t hack it. Cleavage is not only dependent on the implant size an…
TT by Residents vs Attending MD at local Universities/Hospitals, what are the pro’s and con’s?
Are university teaching clinics safe?
Nov 17, 2016
OK, I am biased. I am a full professor at UCLA. The Plastic Surgery Resident Teaching Clinic is staffed by residents and closely supervised by faculty surgeons such as myself. The fees are much less than in private practice and a special low rate has been negotiated with the hospital’s top notch day surgery facility as well as with Anesthesia. 

The faculty surgeons have busy private practices and do this on a purely volunteer basis.

The resident performs the case with the faculty memb…
