Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
PO My nipples are too high after breast reduction, what are my revision options?
Nipple position following breast reduction
Jul 19, 2020
In the photos, the position of your nipple areola complex seems to be too high. Fortunately, there are revision options available. Would contact another board certified plastic surgeon and get a second option.
I'm 22 and considering a breast reduction but undecided if I would be a good candidate for this sur
Breast reduction
Jun 14, 2020
Thank you for the question.   Symptomatic macromastia is a constellation of problems related to large breasts which include cervical spine or neck strain, bra strap grooving in the shoulders, breast pain or mastalgia, difficulty finding undergarments, excessive ptosis or breast droopiness, and intertrigo or rashes at the breast crease.    Breast reductions can help eliminate or minimize some of these symptoms.   Begin a discussion with your family that breast reduction surgery is cons...
Breast augmentation with third nipple?
Breast augmentation
May 6, 2020
A breast augmentation is probably the most common way to improve symmetry when there is a descrepancy in size.  With that being said, you might want to be formally measured for a bra.   While there can be big variations in the cup size - A, B, C, D, etc. - the band width of the bra - 32, 36, ... - doesn’t change from one size to the other.   
What can I do about acne scars on my forehead?
Acne scars
Apr 30, 2020
Thanks for your question.   Acne scars are incredibly difficult to treat.   RF  microneedling is probably the gold standard; however, it frequently requires 3 - 5 treaments spaced approximately one month apart.   We also nightly recommend topical agents like retinol to help with resurfacing the skin.   I like subcision for small areas like ice pick scars on cheeks.  It tends not to work as well with thicker skin like the forehead.   Let us know if we can help.  
Atrophic acne scars between eyebrows. Is filler my best option to elevate these scars?
Acne scars
Apr 23, 2020
Thank you for the question.    Subcision with filler works great in this area.   Fortunately, since this area is not under constant motion like the mouth, filler tends to last a bit longer.   In my experience, the hyaluronic acid fillers work well in this area and overfilling is better than undertreating.   They can also be reversed if you don’t like it.   Your other option is to look into radiofrequency microneedling.   RF microneedling works great on acne scars, too.  
I have 2 scars from giving birth via c section (horizontal & vertical). Can a tummy tuck help?
Tummy tuck for C-section scars
Apr 15, 2020
Thank you for the question.   Tummy tucks are generally very helpful minimizing the appearance of prior C-section scars.   However, a photo of your abdomen would allow us to answer the question with more certainty.   
Am I a candidate for excess skin removal, a panniculectomy? Or, how much more weight would I have t
Panniculectomy
Mar 28, 2020
Congratulations on the weight loss.   The weight loss journey is a long process.  A panniculectomy only removes excess skin below the umbilicus - belly button.   Almost every patient who has lost a significant amount of weight would benefit from a full tummy tuck.  In general, we recommend that patients are at or near their goal weight for 3-6 months prior to undergoing any skin resection.    We prefer for patients to have a BMI of 30 or less.  Congratulations and keep up the good work.  
Follow-up: Kybella or liposuction: which treatment would give me a sharper jaw line?
Kybella vs liposuction
Mar 21, 2020
In the photos, you appear to have a small amount of submental fat which could be easily treated with Kybella.  
Could I do lipo 360 if my stomach hangs in the front or is that more for a tummy tuck?
Liposuction vs Tummy Tuck
Mar 19, 2020
Thank you for trusting us to answer your question.   Though medical decision making requires a physical examination, the photos suggest that you would benefit from a tummy tuck.  The loose skin will not improve with liposuction, alone.  
How badly do I need a tummy tuck to reduce a rectangle look? Is just lipo an option?
Is just liposuction an option?
Mar 16, 2020
Judging from the photos, you appear to be a great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction.   Liposuction, alone, would not be of significant cosmetic benefit to you.  
Will insurance pay for my abdominoplasty because of my diastasis recti?
Will insurance pay for an abdominoplasty
Mar 5, 2020
The short answer is no.  Even in the case of rectus diastasis, insurance companies consider tummy tucks to be cosmetic procedures and are not covered.  
What treatment is best for my acne scars?
What treatment is best for acne scars
Feb 22, 2020
Acne scars are difficult to treat.   Based on the photos, radiofrequency microneedling would be my suggestion to improve the overall texture of your skin.   You also appear to have some volume loss in addition to the acne scars.  Subcision with micro fat grafting would be the most permanent solution to improve the contour of your cheeks.  To treat the redness and skin discoloration, IPL or BBL  laser therapy provide great results and they also help to decrease pore size.  Additi...
Safest options to improve the appearance of my breasts after explant surgery 2 years ago? I’m 64 yr
After explant surgery
Feb 22, 2020
Thank you for the question.  Judging from the photos, a small breast implant could help to restore the upper pole fullness that was lost following the explant.  
Liposuction or tummy tuck - What offers best results, keeping in mind potential for sagging skin an
Liposuction vs TT
Feb 22, 2020
Judging from the photos, a tummy tuck with liposuction will give you the best overall results.  Saggy skin tends to be exacerbated by liposuction and tends to look worse after the procedure.  
After recent shoulder and clavicle surgery, is getting a breast lift covered under insurance an opt
Breast lift versus breast reduction
Feb 21, 2020
Thanks for the question.   If you are attempting to remove some breast tissue because the weight is causing shoulder pain, then your insurance may pay for a breast reduction.   However, if you simply want a breast lift, then that procedure is considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance.
