Dear Gilaribor,
Sorry to read your worries. With your weightloss, you now see skin excess most likely most in your belly area. Taking that away would also pull your pubic area up, which is probably the best option.
You are right that it is best to wait with such a procedure till you reached your goal weight.
In the mean time you could consider some volume reduction with either liposculpture or Coolsculpting.
Good luck

I have just had earfold, and want to know if it’s normal that they are bent back and elf like?
What you see is what you get

Dear Maxim,Earfold differs from other procedures in the sense that it is easy, fast and requires hardly any downtime and no bandages. Those are all good points.On the down side: not all ears are suited for the procedure, especially deep conceal bowls and firm cartilage work less well. Absent antithetical fold with malleable cartilage is the best candidate. The nice thing is that you can preview the results with the prefold, since the result will be very close to that.So i hope that since …

Showering is good!

Showering keeps the operated area clean and reduces the chance of infection.So it is good advice.Your steri strips might come off, but that is not a problem if you disinfectafter showering and place a sterile gauze in you bra on the wound.good luck
I have different eye size. Any suggestions?
Ptosis left eye or bulging right eye
Feb 24, 2015
Feb 24, 2015
Dear Dana,To me it looks like you have a light ptosis of your left eye. This means that the muscle you use for opening your eye is not well attached any more to the cartilage of your upper eyelid. This can occur after wearing hard contact lenses but can appear spontaneous as well. It looks like you are compensating by lifting your eyebrow on the left side. Do you see less in the dark? Hate driving at night? tired feeling at the end of the day? These are all signs of ptosis, now off course…
My eyes are droopy and tired. Is there a way to make them look attractive and make the eye lids
judging eyelid photo’s

Hey Debbie,How did you make the photo? Chin down? Neutral? or chin up?The balance of the amount of skin changes according to position and makes it difficult to judge your situation, How old are you? 19? do you use botox? did you have prior treatments?If you look at an eye you want the pupil to be centered as in the photo below, in your photo we see white below your iris and your upper lid covers a lot of iris. Ideally you want less coverage above and more below, so that is what you need, but…
Can implants lift my breasts without getting a breast lift?
Anatomic implants lift breasts easier
Feb 24, 2015
Feb 24, 2015
In your case implants will not result in a good result. Your nipples are way below the fold if i judge your photo’s correctly. Of course filling up is possible, but that would only fill up the empty skin above the fold, thus your areola and nipple will look downwards, which is not very nice.If they are at the fold level anatomic implants can push the nipples up, like a pendulum that is pushed sideways. Their point of maximum projection is below the midline, and the more projection they have…

uneven breasts

Dear Katlou,So short after a procedure it is difficult to give any advice. i advice my patients to wait at least 3 months before passing any judgement.To my (European) eye, the amount of implant above your nipple is much more then below, i would have preferred anatomical implants and not high profile round, but that is just me. Maybe you like the size and the full upper pole, i didn’t talk to you before. It is hard to pass judgement on that, but to my perception if your implants don’t…
