Best option for stubborn stomach pooch?
Exercise can't do it all
Feb 14, 2015
During pregnancy, in order to make room for the growing baby, the muscles, connective tissue tissue and skin of the abdomen all stretch and grow. Exercise can do a lot to regain the muscle bulk and tone, but unfortunately it doesn't shrink the skin or the connective tissue around the muscles, often leading to a frustrating bulging the abdomen in spite of vigorous diet and exercise. Abdominoplasty is a procedure designed to correct pregnancy type changes of the abdominal wall, by removing the...
What should my BMI be for a full tummy tuck? I don't want to be skinny, just a flatter belly. (
Better at any BMI
Nov 2, 2014
There is no maximum BMI to have a tummy tuck, but the lower your BMI is the better your result will look. Your plan to lose weight prior to your procedure is a good one. You'll have a great result! My biggest criteria for body contour procedures is that your weight be stable. Healing from a tummy tuck requires your body to use extra energy (it raises your BMR). If you are still actively dieting, you won't have the extra calories to heal well. Get to your goal weight and be stable for at...
I've recently lost 40+ pounds, should I get an extended tummy tuck?
Extended tummy tuck
Aug 5, 2014
Great job on your weight loss! You're feeling great, now you want to look great. Your dramatic weight loss is evident in your pictures. Unfortunately, you have typical resistant areas that seem to want to hold on to that extra fat in the "love handle" areas of your flanks. This may remain even you lose another 10 lbs. In addition to your tummy tuck, I think you'll want to address both the extra fatty tissue and the loose skin in the flanks. Liposuction will remove the residual fat, but...
Liposuction before TT? Should one have aggressive liposuction, heal, then do full TT? How long
Liposuction and abdominoplasty
Aug 5, 2014
There is no right answer. I often perform liposuction in conjunction with abdominoplasty, but there is a limit to how much fat can be removed when combined with TT. So it really depends on the areas of your body you want to address. If you want to contour your back, love handles and upper buttocks and thighs, I believe you should stage this separately from your TT. If you just want to address the abdomen and love handle areas, one stage is all you need for optimal results. You do not need to...
I want to remove excess skin from breasts/flat chest instead of fake boobs. How risky is this?
A breast lift removes excess skin
Aug 5, 2014
Aging changes and changes in breast size due to pregnancy may result the breast skin becoming loose, allowing the breasts to sag. A breast lift (also called mastopexy) tightens the skin over the breast, making it perkier with less sagging. If the nipple is drooping, it can be repositioned on the breast as well. This is a very common and safe procedure. Your history of Herpes should not be a contraindication to surgery. Since the surgery doesn't involve your chest muscles, there is no...
Should I get more lipo and fat grafting or a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck is your best option
Jun 2, 2014
Abdominoplasty not only removes the lower abdominal skin, but can tighten the abdominal muscles. This will not only correct the liposuction deformities of your lower abdominal skin, but will improve the bulging of the upper abdomen. You will not be able to totally correct the scarred skin in the lower abdomen with fat grafting.
I'm 34, want to improve my jawline/marionette lines to look more youthful. Would a mini facelif
Early aging
May 29, 2014
When I see patients who feel they are developing facial aging changes way too early, it usually indicates an imbalance of the soft tissue and underlying bony facial structure. I can't see your whole face in these pictures, but you seem to have a short, under projected chin. This leads to a typical look: fullness under the neck, a blunted appearance of the jawline, a deep labiomental sulcus (the crease between the lower lip and chin) and early jowl formation. Submental liposuction, a...
50 yr old pre Neck Lift by Lipo Laser, based on my photos, do you think this is the right proce
Laser lipo neck lift
May 29, 2014
I think you are a borderline candidate to get a really good result from this procedure, as you have mostly loose skin and not a lot of excess fat. Nevertheless, I have been personally surprised by the level of correction and patient satisfaction I have gotten in these types of cases. The procedure can be done virtually without scars and under local anesthesia. If you don't get the level of correction you were looking for, a conservative skin excision or "neck lift" can easily be done to tidy...
What is the ideal BMI prior to meeting with a plastic surgeon to discuss plastic surgery, speci
Ideal tummy tuck BMI
May 29, 2014
Abdominoplasty can dramatically improve the abdominal contour no matter what your BMI. The most important factor is that your weight be stable. I ask my patients to have been at their stable weight for at least 3 months. Patients who have been dieting hard to lose weight are relatively " undernourished" and may have a harder time healing after surgery. Results are definitely the best if you are at your " ideal body weight", but many people just can't get there. Abdominoplasty still can give...
Does laser lipo help reduce cellulite?
Cellulite treatment
May 27, 2014
You look like you would be an excellent candidate for Cellulaze, or laser lipo treatment for cellulite, and liposuction of the thighs. Cellulaze is FDA approved for long term correction of cellulite. Cellulaze is minimally invasive, and can be done with local anesthesia. In my experience, other, noninvasive cellulite treatments are largely ineffectual.
Would 500ccs look good on my small frame and give me the look I want?
Preoperative sizing
May 13, 2014
Sounds like you have done a lot of research and self assessment. That's great! My one caution is that it's hard to judge implant size or style just by looking at pictures. The most important factor in achieving a good look is the base diameter of the implant. It has to fit your chest width. The volume is more variable. With a given base diameter, there are a range of volumes available (moderate or high profile styles). At 5'4", if you want 500 cc of volume you are probably looking at a high...
Is it possible to have a Tummy Tuck with a pre-exisiting midline hypertrophic scar?
Abdominal scars and tummy tuck
May 8, 2014
The scar does not preclude doing a tummy tuck, but you are at high risk for a hypertrophic transverse scar form the TT. People who heal with hypertrophic scars in certain body areas seem to have a genetic tendency for this kind of scarring. Be prepared for the need for post op steroid injections, silicone scar gel, and scar massage when you have your TT.
Can I have a facelift even though I had facial fillers in my cheeks and nasal folds?
Facelift and fillers
May 8, 2014
Fillers and skin tightening procedures such as a facelift are often combined to give excellent results. A properly done facelift repositions the facial fatty tissues and tightens loose, wrinkled skin. It's greatest effect is in the lateral face and under the neck. Fillers add volume to deflated tissues, and have their best effect in the central areas of the face such as the nasolabial folds, lips and chin. So, facelift and fillers work hand-in-hand to produce total facial rejuvenation. If...
Signs of Capsular Contracture After Breast Augmentation?
Capsular Contracture after Breast Augmentation
Apr 28, 2014
The diagnosis of Capsular contracture is made by clinical exam. There is grading system based on how the implants look and feel. If your implants stick out more and feel harder, you are describing capsular contracture, which is relatively common in 10 year old implants, particularly saline implants. Often, these changes are mild and don't really cause a problem. If they become very firm, misshapen or painful, reoperation is indicated. You should be evaluated by a board certified Plastic Surgeon.
When Does Swelling After Breast Augmentation Begin to Subside?
Breast Augmentation Recovery
Apr 28, 2014
How long swelling lasts is due to a couple of factors, including to technique of placement, the compliance of your tissues and your personal metabolism. All that being said, most patients experience resolution of their swelling by 3-4 weeks. Of more importance is your concern about cup size. This is almost never a standard measurement. I have many patients who are measured as a D cup in one store and a B cup in another. Most important is the proportion that the new implants give you. Most...
