Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
What happens if my cleft palate reopens at age 20? Is it dangerous?
Cleft Palate Re-opening at Age 20
Apr 18, 2020
It depends on whether it causes any issues or symptoms. Those of concern would be (1.) a symptomatic fistula with leak of fluid or food into your nose, and (2.) changes in speech. Neither of these are likely to be “dangerous”, but you would be advised to see a plastic surgeon who does cleft surgery for a proper assessment.
I’ve had silicone implants for 27 years. Hard, swollen, painful breast after heavy lifting. Opinion?
27 year old implants
Jul 19, 2018
Rupture is a silent event without symptoms or signs. With 27 year old silicone implants, and especially with the event and features you describe, you should prepare to have them removed/replaced, but they should be scanned beforehand to check for any other breast issues and to check the integrity of the implants.
How I can make less cleavage with textured round implants? I’m 7 weeks post op Breast Revision. (photo
Cleavage
May 18, 2017
The cleavage is the distance between your breasts which should be, as a guide, 3 cm. It looks ideal in you. Perhaps you mean upper pole fullness in which case this will become less with time as things descend and your breasts soften. In my practice, I usually advocate the support bra for 3 weeks post op after which you can be fitted for normal bras. You should of course check what your operating surgeon recommends. The only issue with regular bras may be the underwire which can…
I’m getting saddlebags at only one side of thigh. The other side is normal. What to do? What exercises
Saddlebags
May 13, 2017
Saddlebags are a collection of fat and the treatment of them (or 1 of them) is liposuction. Exercise helps muscles, not fat.
Can liposuction remove man boobs?
Lipo for man boobs
Apr 26, 2017
Yes, most cases can be done with lipo alone and sometimes even glandular tissue can be removed through the lipo cuts with a rongeur. For gynaecomastia lipo I use a special lipo cannula which has many more holes than usual and has a slight grater like effect that helps remove glandular tissue. Areolar or nipple reduction and severe or really large gynaecomastia may require more open surgery, but in my practice this rarely needed.
Will a mastopexy help with breast appearance when wearing a bra?
Mastopexy
Mar 2, 2017
Yes, especially with an auto-augmentation where breast tissue from the lower pole is moved up underneath the breast to provide fullness in the upper part of the breast. Botti and I both have videos showing this procedure on youtube. But of course it depends on the bra – a good bra with an underwire is designed to lift the breasts too. Judging by your photos, you would benefit from mastopexy.
When having a lower lid transconjunctival bleph, is it best to have fat transfer or fat repositioning?
Lower lids: fat repositioning or transfer
Feb 15, 2017
Fat transfer has been presented frequently by some high profile names at our meetings and has become a trendy procedure, but in my opinion falls short of fat transfer for a number of reasons:
1. it requires more dissection and therefore is more invasive. There is less risk of disrupting the support mechanisms of the lower lid.
2. there needs to be an exact balance between the amount of fat excess and fat deficiency in the tear trough and lower lid to adequately fill these areas. Often there…
