Can Singulair make contracture worse?
singulair
Dec 21, 2018
Hi globemom, thanks for your question. Capsular contracture is a tough problem that we Plastic Surgeons have been working on for years. No one knows exactly what causes it, or how to prevent it completely.
There is some evidence that shows that use of Singulair can help with capsular contracture, but I'd say "the jury is still out" because the evidence is only so-so. This is why not every surgeon uses it. I have never personally heard of Singulair *worsening* capsular...
Will increasing my implant size bring my cleavage closer together?
implant revision
Dec 21, 2018
Hi KG2302, thanks for your question. Just adding a larger implant is probably not the way to go to fix your wide-set breasts and improve cleavage. This has more to do with the adjusting the position of the pocket for the implant. This may be able to be changed, but a physical exam would be necessary to tell for sure. Best of luck with your upcoming consultation!
My face is so asymmetric what procedures can be helpful in correcting it?
facial asymmetry
Dec 21, 2018
Hi shruti, thanks for your question. As others have mentioned everyone has some degree of facial asymmetry, and that is totally normal. From the photograph you provided, I actually don't see much facial asymmetry outside the norm.
However, your best bet is to be seen in person by a Plastic Surgeon for a detailed consultation and physical exam. After this, and a discussion of your specific concerns and treatment goals, they should be able to help come up with a plan to address your...
I'm gaining fat back after a tummy tuck, what should I do?
post-op TT
Dec 21, 2018
Hi, and thanks for your question. Once fat has been removed via liposuction or direct excision with an abdominoplasty, it is gone permanently. That is because our bodies don't create new fat cells in adulthood. However, the fat that was left behind can hypertrophy (get bigger) with overall weight gain.
All of that being said, if you are experiencing a change in your abdominal contour 9 months after surgery, you just first go back and be seen by your surgeon. They need to make sure...
Should I get a BBL or Tummy tuck first? I'm trying to get a flat stomach, but a little mor
BBL, then tummy tuck
Dec 21, 2018
Hi Sandylee, thanks for your question. In general, if you are planning to have both procedures, you ought to have the BBL first. You wouldn't want to have an abdominoplasty first, because you'd be discarding fat that could otherwise be used in your BBL.
I would recommend an in-person consultation with a Plastic Surgeon to assess your suitability for these procedures, and have a more detailed discussion about your goals so that they can create a surgical plan to help you...
What is the least invasive breast lift for me?
breast lift
Dec 13, 2018
Hi ericasong, thanks for your question. Unfortunately, there are not currently available any non-invasive or scar-less therapies that result in a good deal of breast lifting. I would recommend an in-person consultation with a well-credentialed Plastic Surgeon to discuss breast lift. After a physical exam and detailed discussion, they can recommend a surgical plan to help you achieve your goals. Best of luck!
Can I get a TT and J pouch surgery?
tummy tuck and UC
Dec 13, 2018
Hi, and thanks for your question. Having stable UC should not prevent you from getting a tummy tuck. If you were to need a colectomy/J-pouch in the future, a GI surgeon could perform this operation safely.
Any future abdominal surgery will involve its own risks. A future laparoscopic abdominal surgery will involve some cutting through of the abdominal muscles - this could increase your risk of a hernia or recurrence of diastasis, but I don't think the risk of...
How much longer should I keep taping my tummy tuck incision?
post-op tummy tuck
Dec 13, 2018
Hi, and thanks for your question. Every plastic surgeon has developed his/her post-op protocols based on what they have found works best for them, given their particular surgical techniques. I would advise you discuss this with your Plastic Surgeon. They will need to do a physical exam to ensure things are healing properly before transitioning from immediate post-op incision care to a longer term scar management protocol. Best of luck!
Nipple asymmetry 7 months post op. Is there still time to change this with compression?
post-op breast augmentation
Dec 13, 2018
Hi, and thanks for your question. It is hard to make a formal recommendation without an in-person physical exam, or at least pre and post op photographs. But in general, there probably won't be continued major changes 7 months after a breast augmentation, using compression or not.
So if you are unhappy with your result, I would advise seeing your Plastic Surgeon for an in-person consult and physical exam to discuss possibilities for revision. Best of luck!
Whats best for hereditary double chin and lower face fat? Looking for a jawline!
double chin
Dec 13, 2018
Hi, and thanks for your question. There are several options for treating fat in the submental area (double chin). Injectables (such as Aqualyx), non-invasive fat treatments (such as CoolSculpting), and liposuction with small cannulas can all be effective treatments with the proper patient selection.
I would recommend having an in-person consultation with a well-certified Plastic Surgeon in your area. They will best know the treatment options available to you, and the local costs. Best...
How do I tell if I have a good amount of breast tissue?
breast implants
Dec 13, 2018
Hi Alex, thanks for your question. Choosing which implants are best for you is best done after consultation with a Plastic Surgeon. It is important to perform a physical exam and then discuss the choices given a patient's unique anatomy, and her specific goals of breast augmentation.
That being said, let me offer a brief overview of Saline vs. Silicone implants
All implants have a silicone outer shell. Saline implants are shipped from the factory empty, and...
Capsulotomy or Capsulectomy for implant exchange?
implant exchange
Dec 13, 2018
Hi allie, thanks for your question. A capsulECTOMY is removal of the capsule that has formed around your breast implant. A capsulOTOMY is simply placing a cut in the capsule. Through this, the old implant can be removed and the new one inserted; additional cuts into the capsule may be necessary to accommodate the new implant.
If there is no capsular contracture, and the capsule is not causing any issues, you don't normally need to excise it (capsulectomy). Of course, a...
Do I need a lift with my implants?
breast lift
Dec 13, 2018
Hi, and thanks for your question. Its not always easy to decide about having implants alone, vs combining implants with a lift. In general, a lift is good for raising the nipple-areolar complex back to a more aesthetic position when it has descended below the infra-mammary fold (the breast crease). Of course the trade-off is additional scars. Make sure you have had a good conversation about your goals with your Plastic Surgeon. It is impossible to make a formal surgical...
Will a donut lift with 240cc dual plane breast implants give me my desired look?
breast lift with implants
Dec 12, 2018
Hi mumtum, thanks for your question. A donut lift is a good operation for small improvements to the position of the nipple-areolar complex. It can typically achieve 1-2 cm of lifting. A dual-plane breast augmentation is helpful to add fullness and upper pole volume to your breasts. Your proposed surgical plan may very well give you a good result, but only after a detailed in-person physical exam with measurements could a formal surgical plan recommendation be given. Make sure you are seeing...
When considering a Mommy Makeover and BBL, is there an order in which they should be done?
surgery order
Dec 12, 2018
Hi brinaalexxis, thanks for your question. A "mommy makeover" can refer to a number of different combination of operations on the breasts (lift, augmentation, or combination) and abdomen (liposuction, tummy tuck, or combination). If you are seeking a BBL, you want to have this done first, before any of your fat is removed with liposuction or tummy tuck.
If you are thinking about combining all of these operations, you need to see a well-credentialed Plastic Surgeon and have a...
