Fillers after eyelid surgery
Nov 7, 2019
Fillers are a great way to temporarily fill wrinkles and hollow lower eyelids.  Chemical peels can be a good option if you are experiencing any skin imperfections.  Both will not correct under eye bags permanently.  Talk to your surgeon about your concerns and discuss any other long term options available to you or find an experienced board certified plastic surgeon who can help you achieve the results you are looking for.  Best wishes. 
Will a tummy tuck help lipo deformity and abdominal seperation?
Previous liposuction shows significant deformity
Sep 9, 2019
You may benefit from a tummy tuck but it may be difficult because of the position of your belly button.  The umbilical float tummy tuck procedure may be the most appropriate procedure in this case. You should definitely consult with a Board Certified Plastic surgeon who can provide you with solutions. Best of luck to you. 
Why does my abdominal still feel like its contracting after 2 year old TT?
Tummy Tuck contracting after 2 years post op
Sep 4, 2019
All wounds have a tendency to contract after surgery. Usually the wound will have softened by 2 years. Hopefully you were instructed to massage the area and continue your diet and exercise regimen.  If you are still experiencing discomfort, you should consult with your doctor or a board certified plastic surgeon about the discomfort you are feeling. Wishing you feel better soon.
Do I need a breast lift? I’m getting implants and wanted reassurance I don’t need a lift as wel
Breast lift or no breast lift?
Jul 22, 2019
Your photos seem to show a bit of asymmetry and unevenness with the left being lower than the right.  You may have not noticed this difference and it may not bother you, if it does a nipple lift may make more sense.
A simple breast augmentation will increase your size and volume. If you want a significant change in breast form, it is best to discuss your expectations with your surgeon so that you are on the same page.  Wishing you the best of luck!
How developed is a scar capsule around the implant at 2 weeks post-op? How easily can it tear a
Capsular Contracture after 2 weeks
Jul 15, 2019
A capsule is the tissue that forms surrounding an object in the body, like a breast implant for example.  The capsule which is a type of scar tissue surrounds the implant and starts to form very soon after surgery.  During this early period the capsule is very thin and over time can become thicker and tougher resulting in capsular contracture which sometimes requires surgical release.  Tearing of the capsule can cause bleeding as a result of trauma. This complication is not common and te…
Mini Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation, and Liposuction in One Surgery?
Mommy makeover
Sep 20, 2012
Yes it is! It is a common request to have these procedures done at the same time and it is considered a mommy makeover of sorts. Many patients have wonderful results from this surgery, and feel they regain their prepregnancy confidence. As far as cost is concerned, surgery prices vary depending on the Plastic Surgeon and his or her location. The supply and demand is usually the determining factor for this cost. Always find a Board Certified plastic surgeon…
Hate My Post Pregnancy Belly
Surgery post pregnancy
Sep 20, 2012
The biggest question is whether you are finished having children. If you have concluded that you are then you can find a Board Certified plastic surgeon who will discuss your options with you. A lot of surgeons will do it around the 3 month point, depending on your body weight: If you gained a lot of weight during your pregnancy then you will want to get back to a healthy body weight first. Talk to your surgeon about your expectations to see if this is the right procedure…
What is a Mommy Makeover?
What a mommy makeover includes…
Sep 20, 2012
A Mommy Makeover means putting your body back together post child birth. It is important that you are finished having children before you look into this surgery. Once you have concluded that you are ready to move forward then a surgeon will look at your body to see what improvements he or she can make to rejuvenate areas such as the breasts and abdomen. Most often a mommy makeover can include procedures such as a breast augmentation, or a breast lift with or…
When Does Swelling After Breast Augmentation Begin to Subside?
Swelling after breast augmentation
Sep 20, 2012
I understand your concern but 5 days post op is too soon to know what size bra you will be in the end. Significant swelling can be present for 2 months after a breast augmentation: Optimal results may not be seen for up to 6 months. Most plastic surgeons do not recommend that you be fitted for a bra before 6 weeks post augmentation. You should also understand that bra size should not be the only determining factor in whether you are happy with your surgery…..
Breast Augmentation Risks
Breast Augmentation Risks
Sep 13, 2012
It is important that you are knowledgeable and understand the risks associated with anything you do to your body, so I think it is fantastic that you have armed yourself and done the research! The list you have are definite concerns for breast augmentation surgery, but there are other risks that should be included such as: Infection, scarring, assymetry and unrealistic expectations, to name a few. Finding the right surgeon, board certified, etc, and asking the…
How Do I Find the Best Breast Augmentation Surgeon?
Finding a cosmetic surgeon
Sep 13, 2012
In general, finding a surgeon to perform your breast augmentation is a personal choice. Obviously, the surgeon should have all the credientials necessary (Board Certified, etc), but other than that you will need to go for a consultation, look through before/after photos of previous patients, inquire about the number of surgeries he or she has performed (if this is important to you), discuss your expectations for breast size, discuss pre and post care instructions, hospital or facility…
Breast Augmentation Recovery
Recovery for Breast Augmentation
Sep 13, 2012
Recovery from breast augmentation can vary from person to person, but in general we have found that most people are back to work in about a week, without lifting, pulling or other laborous activity. It is important that you refrain from physical labor until you are released by your Dr (usually around 6 weeks). Most people start to resume normal activity around 3 weeks, but still refrain from major lifting. You must wear your push-down garment full time for at least a week…
I Had Juvederm 3 to Add Fullness to my Upper Lip. The Next Day the Right Side is Twice the Size! Is T
Re:I Had Juvederm 3 to Add Fullness to my Upper Lip. The Next Day the Right Side is Twice the Size! Is This Product or Swelling?
Jun 6, 2012
If your lips appeared even immediately following your treatment and they now appear uneven, you may have residual swelling that is causing the lip to look uneven. Swelling typically resolves for the most part after several days, but can take up to several weeks to completely resolve. To help with the swelling you can ice the area. You can either wait several days to see if the swelling resolves and symmetry is restored, or you can return to the provider that injected you for evaluation. If…
Is Radiesse Good for Lip Augmentation?
Re: Is Radiesse Good for Lip Augmentation?
May 30, 2012
I do not recommend Radiesse for the lips, and the manufacturer also advises against it. Radiesse is a thick filler know to cause lumps in the lips and other areas of the face where the skin is very thin (under eyes, etc.). While it is tempting to use Radiesse in hopes that it will last longer than other fillers, I would opt for an HA (hyaluronic acid) based filler such as Juvederm or Restylane. HA fillers typically last 6-9 months, although the manufacturer of Juvederm claims it may last up…
Is Radiesse Ok to Use After Lower Bleph to Raise Cheeks to Fill in Tear Troughs and Correct Asymmetry
Re: Is Radiesse Ok to Use After Lower Bleph to Raise Cheeks to Fill in Tear Troughs and Correct Asymmetry? (photo)
May 30, 2012
I do like to use Radiesse to augment the cheeks; however, I do not recommend it for the tear trough or under eye area. The skin around the eyes is very thin, and Radiesse is a thick filler better suited for other areas of the face. If you wish to augment the under eye area following a blepharoplasty procedure, I would first wait until the swelling has completely resolved. Rather than Radiesse, I would recommend a hyaluronic acid (HA) based filler such as Juvederm. HA fillers are smoother and…
