Question

Answer Header & Date

Answer Snippet

Hideous, awful breast augmentation. How do I fix this?

Subglandular implants stretch with time
Jan 10, 2021

There is a common misconception that implants above the muscle will ‘lift’ the nipple when borderline ptosis is present. Combine that with ‘low positioned breasts’ and now you really have a challenging problem. If you wanted more of a fake look with upper pole fullness, a lift was mandatory. If you wanted natural, depending on what you started with and what you could live with, you would be given the option as it appears you were here.

You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon…

After tummy tuck and two other operations big swollen area above mons pubis. Please help me! How I can

Feminine profiles
Jan 1, 2021

While your mons may appear slightly full, your abdomen just above the scar is too flat in my opinion. Feminine pro files have a mild roundness in that area. To determine what is best for you, a face to face would be needed as well as your op reports from what was already done (and not done). The exam is needed to assess what the bump is from. Good luck!

When you get something you didn’t agree to
Jan 1, 2021

I don’t understand why you did not correct this issue when it happened. Stuff like that just shouldn’t happen unless your consent said your surgeon can do whatever they want.

As for what to do as you contemplate pregnancy, it really depends on a lot of things…
If you know you are fertile and can easily conceive, I would recommend having an explant through an IMF approach. If you are not sure about fertility, then would wait until past first trimester and have explant under local in…

When you have heavy boobs to start with
Nov 15, 2020

And you’re wanting perky and smaller, I would recommend that you have a reduction procedure to remove your heavy, hanging breast tissue (and use your own tissue to help support the implant) and keep the current implant for upper pole fullness and volume. BUT you will be smaller if you ever have to have your implants removed and you will have an anchor scar on your breasts. If you can accept that, you can have perky, full, smaller breasts.

How big is a scar for breast explant?

Same scars used
Nov 4, 2020

But if your fold was lowered to accommodate the larger implant a scar just above the fold before removal May be exposed after removal as the breast shrinks. But if you’re not having any issues with your breasts reconsider your motivations as your appearances are really good
I provide this service under local for less than $1000 too.

I would like a second opinion: Are bilateral capsulectomies recommended with a revision when no lift is

Goals determine what is recommended
Nov 1, 2020

Listen to your goals and examining your concerns allows a surgeon to formulate a plan that will accomplish expectations. It is a bit concerning that you have different recommendations but here is an FYI… when the capsule is removed tissue will drape more freely and packet work is usually needed. If you have high riding implants they will drop and be positioned more behind the nipple and a lift may not be needed. This is where I would choose the experienced surgeon over a newly trained…

My doctor blamed me for my results. Is it my fault? Is his solution a viable one for my case?

It is never the patient’s fault
Oct 24, 2020

Unless you did something specifically that you were told not to do. I really hate i when a surgeon tries to blame their own failures on the patient as I knew one well. Your surgeon should be more interested in finding a solution for your issues than trying to assign blame. Sorry you chose such a surgeon. But your issues are fixable and yes, they are related to your original anatomy but your surgeon should have recognized that and planned accordingly and fully informed you as to what…

600 CC implants a good size for my frame?

Best way to choose a size for your frame
Oct 24, 2020

Is to see a local surgeon and size with external sizers. Despite what those who have the 3D imaging systems, the tried and true technique works well in the vast majority of my patients through the 28 years I’ve been doing this. Yes, the biggest complaint I have is that “I wish i went larger” but that is a California things. I always add 10+% more to the sizer you like the look of and this has worked reliably well.
As for athletics and running, that is another issue that you have to…

What procedure do I possibly need? Insecure about the appearance of my vagina

Looks NORMAL
Oct 24, 2020

And you should try to figure out what it is that bothers you most and why. Surgically nothing obvious that can be improved but if you do have a redundant hood (the poofy part), perhaps that could be reduced but your overall appearances are 100% normal and when women who have genital rejuvenation surgery with your appearances as their outcome are quite happy.

My prospective surgeon won’t answer any questions except if I pay for his time. Is this normal?

You can ‘see’ other surgeons virtually
Aug 31, 2020

And not pay anything! And unless you have some bizarre variant of what normal anatomy is, you do not have to spend $10000 to have this procedure. Explore other options around you and if you reside in CA, you’re welcome to contact me for a virtual consultation. And this is FREE!

Costs vary crazily for this procedure but when done under local in my office, you can have both the labia minora and hood done for less than $3000! But it takes traveling and an overnight stay. Revisions are…

What can be done to improve the way my breasts look after implant removal?

Making you breasts looker perkier…
Aug 31, 2020

Can easily be done by using a transverse plication above your fold (essentially converting the lollipop to an anchor scar). This procedure can easily be done in the office under local for minimal costs (at least when I do that). This will remove that hanging part you see when you look at your mounds from the side view. Ask your surgeon about it… he/she should know what to do.

I’ve had a breast lift and implants to fix asymmetry. How can I achieve more symmetry now?

Symmetry can always be improved with revisions
Aug 17, 2020

And you are no different. As mentioned by another surgeon, your scars suggest that they are still maturing and its always best to wait as long as you can before having a revision. Once you are completely healed, then you should be able to critique your results with your surgeon and if you have asymmetries you appreciate, your surgeon should acknowledge them or send you for a second opinion if he/she cannot appreciate what you are seeing. From your current photos. one lower pole is longer…

Clitoral Hood Reduction. Is my goal possible/realistic?

Seek a few consultations
Aug 8, 2020

So you know what your chosen surgeon is planning is supported by his/her peers as well and not some renegade procedure that could be crippling to you ‘forever’. I provide virtual consultations due to my location being away from major metropolitan areas with a face to face prior to any procedure to ensure that we are both on the same page as to what will be accomplished. This could be combined with your initial face to face visit and procedure to minimize travel for you. The procedure is…

Can I have my 450 cc implants deflated first before determining if I should decide on a lift or explant

Deflating you saline implants would be the prudent thing to do
May 15, 2020

As it will allow your tissue to heal and ‘shrink’ a little and make the next procedure more predictable and reliable in the outcome. With you back to your ‘natural post mastopexy’ state, a plan could be formulated for you to achieve your goals. Most of my patients in your situation would want either just a re-do lift if the volume was adequate or a re-augmentation mastopexy but if you’re wanting the fake fullness in the upper pole, it appears you will need a reduction augmentation procedure.

What surgery do I need? I feel very droopy and discolored.

Your vulva is normal
May 15, 2020

In your photo but individuals will have different opinions and your opinion is the one that matters most. If you’re concerned about what you see, invest in a consultation with an experienced labiaplasty surgeon and he/she should help you navigate the maze of decisions as to what is best for you. And its always possible that doing nothing may still be best.
