Question

Answer Header & Date

Answer Snippet

Can I do a lipo ? Or what is the proper procedure to do?

Am I a good candidate for Lipo?
Apr 22, 2020

Thanks for your questions and photos. Patients who are the best candidates for lipo are: healthy, non-smokers, close to their ideal weight and have focused areas of fat that are hard to get rid of. I recommend that you meet with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to be examined and be given the best and safest options. I hope this helps and I wish you well!

Not looking to get a thigh lift. What other procedures can help with my thighs?

How can I treat my legs?
Apr 21, 2020

Thanks for your question and photos. There are some non-thigh lift options for you. Firstly, I want to state that safe weight loss will be the best start for changes to your legs. Next, I recommend you meet with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an evaluation and discussion of your options. They will likely include 360 liposuction for your legs in combination with a radio frequency component–like the Renuvion/J Plasma device. You might also discuss cellulite specific treatments like T…

I’d like to know what my best option is to getting a flatter stomach?

How can I make my Tummy Tuck better?
Apr 20, 2020

Thanks for your photo and question!Based on the photos you sent, I would say that your best option is a revision of your Abdominoplasty. I would recommend meeting with a Board Certified plastic surgeon who can discuss removing loose skin as well body sculpting with liposuction. All the best to you.

Will my chest return to normal after I lose weight or are they stretched?

What will happen to my skin and nipples with Gynecomastia?
Apr 17, 2020

Thanks for your email and photos. Gynecomastia is typically both excess fat and breast glad. Both contribute to the shape of the breasts and the stretching of the chest skin and areola/nipples. Therefore, one would need to address removing both to truly make a change. Some fat could be reduced with weight loss, but chest fat is stubborn and usually needs surgical removal as well. I recommend you meet with a board certified plastic surgeon for the most efficient and safest was to determine y…

I am suffering from gynecomastia for the past 5 years. Can it be fixed without surgery?

Can I fix my Gynecomastia without surgery?
Apr 16, 2020

Thanks for your question. Typically men that have issues with Gynecomastia have both bothersome gland and fat in their chest. Weight loss and exercise is always the best answer for excess fat, but I find that most men find that this chest fat is hard to diet and exercise off. Surgery is also necessary for the gland removal. I recommend that you meet with a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation and medical opinion. I wish you well.

How severe is my gynecomastia? What is the recommended cosmetic option?

Do I have severe Gyncecomastia?
Apr 15, 2020

Thanks for your question and your photo. Based on your photo, I agree that you do have Gynecomastia. I would recommend you meet with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an examination. You will likely need liposuction as well as a direct excision. I wish you the best!

Do I have gyno or could this be due to fat?

Do I have Gynecomastia?
Apr 14, 2020

Thanks for your photos and question. I agree with the other physicians here in that you would benefit from an in person examination from a board certified plastic surgeon. Based on your photo, you seem very lean and fit. I would expect you to have minimal fat on your chest. If you are bothered by fullness underneath your areola, there may be gland there. That would require a surgical excision. I hope this helps and I wish you well!

7 mo post gynecomastia surgery. Hard lump under nipple, puffy nipples and fat deposits. Should I

Do I need a revision for my gynecomastia Surgery??
Apr 13, 2020

Thanks for your question and photo! Based on your photo, it seems that there may still be some gland and fat remaining that could be removed. I would expect that any contour irregularities could be improved during that same procedure. I urge you to return to your physician for a thorough discussion on your options. I wish you the best.

Is my Gynecomastia bad enough that it could be covered by insurance?

Will my gynecomastia surgery be covered by insurance?
Apr 10, 2020

Thanks for your photos and questions! Good job on the weight loss! Based on your photo, you do appear to be a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery. I strongly urge you to meet with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss a plan as it will likely involve addressing your loose skin. It is hard to comment on the insurance aspect of these. Every insurance company seems to have different criteria for coverage. I wish you the best!

What would your treatment plan be for correction? And value?

What procedure is recommended for Gynecomastia?
Apr 9, 2020

Thanks for your question and photo. I can appreciate wanting to get the best offer, but I strongly urge you to have in-person consultations with Board Certified Plastic Surgeons who can examine you and discuss your medical history. That way you can be sure there will be a discussion based on value as well as safety. Based on your photos, liposuction and direct gland excision appear to be warranted but any discussion on addressing the skin would require an examination. I hope this helps and I…

Are there medical reasons, besides passing anesthesia, I should not get lipo while breast feedin

Should I have liposuction while breast feeding?
Apr 8, 2020

Thanks for your question! There are 2 reasons to delay your procedure. Firstly, you want to avoid anesthesia and pain medicine and antibiotics from an elective procedure in your breast milk. Secondly, your body is still likely going through changes after your pregnancy and you want to be at a stable and sustainable weight before having any body contouring procedure. I highly recommend you speak with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for you consultation.

Is it acceptable to have liposuction done in 3-4 areas with a BMI of 28.3?

Is it OK to get liposuction?
Apr 7, 2020

Thanks for your question. Liposuction is not a form of weight-loss and people do best when they have body contouring procedure when they are closest to their ideal weight. Having said that, I think you BMI is fine. I say that not having examined you or heard about your medical history. BMI is not always the best predictor of weight, etc. I suggest you meet with a board certified plastic surgeon for an examination and discussion of a surgical plan.

For best results, should I lose weight before or after stomach lipo?

Should I lose weight BEFORE Liposuction?
Apr 3, 2020

Thanks for you question and photos. It seems that you are a good candidate for liposuction. If patients plan to loose weight, I think it is always best to do it BEFORE surgery. Patients who are closest to their ideal body weights always do better with surgery. I hope this helps and I wish you well.

Can I get liposuction for my buffalo hump?

Could liposuction help my buffalo hump?
Apr 2, 2020

Thanks for your question and photo. It looks like you have a mild area of excess fat there. In my opinion, you are a good candidate for liposuction. I recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon for a full consultation so you could get your best and safest options. I hope this helps and all the best to you.

Will lipo 360 be enough or will I have loose skin?

Will I have loose skin after liposuction?
Apr 1, 2020

Thanks for your question and photos. Congrats on the weight loss! Nice job! Based on your photo, I do think you would have loose skin in your abdominal area after liposuction. Additional treatments like Radio Frequency may help with some skin tightening but I feel like you are looking for the results of a tummy tuck. I urge you to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon so he or she could examine you and give you your best and safest options. I hope this helps and I wish you the best!
