Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Can I have my areolas made smaller if I have Breast implants through the periareolar incision?
Areola reduction with periareolar incision
Aug 9, 2016
The reduction of the areola can be performed with a periareolar incision and can be done at the same time as an augmentation. You are correct that even if the areolas are minimized it is possible they can still stretch with the insertion of a large implant. Please make sure to discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon.
How to remove left over ink from when ps marked me up before surgery?
Ink
Aug 9, 2016
You are only four days postop and showering for the first time, it is not unusual for the ink to still be present. The markings will eventually fade without any special treatment.
Can I safely get a breast augmentation if I had previous surgeries to remove benign cysts from
Breast implants after removal of cysts.
Jul 11, 2016
Thank you for the question. Breast augmentation is certainly an option for you. This procedure may be advantageous for you if your breasts are asymmetrical from removal of the cysts. Any scar tissue may be divided to make place for the implants. It would be advisable to have a baseline mammogram prior to your augmentation.
Breast augmentation with own fat?
Breast Augmentation with Body Fat on Thin Body Type
Jun 5, 2016
Thank you for your question.  It appears you are asking about a fat transfer.  In a thin person even small amounts of fat can be harvested  from locations such as the inner thighs, back, buttocks. This is still a surgical procedure. A completely non surgical method for enlarging your breasts is the Brava expansion cup procedure, which is a bra that is worn 10 hours a day and the breast enlarges a millimeter a day. This is a very slow procedure but is totally non surgical. Please speak to yo...
Can I still have my brachioplasty with a short arm cast on?
Short Cast and Brachioplasty Surgery
Jun 5, 2016
Hello, As your hand and forearm can swell after brachioplasty, I recommend to avoid any possible complications, waiting until the cast is removed before having surgery on your upper arm.  For same reason (post op swelling) we always recommend the removal of rings and bracelets from fingers and wrists prior to surgery. Please consult with your plastic and orthopedic surgeon. 
Is weight loss required for plastic surgery?
Weight Loss and Brachioplasty
Jun 5, 2016
Hello!  Tightening the arm with a brachioplasty will improve the contour.  As long your weight remains stable, the contour should not change.  If you loose weight, then skin most likely will loosen and hang once again.  You mentioned wearing short sleeves, please be aware, the scar, although hidden in the inside of your arm extends from the armpit to the elbow. Additionally being overweight, smoking and having sugar diabetes can lead to poor wound healing, wider scars and less than opt...
Can an arm lift be done under local anesthesia?
Arm lift under local
May 29, 2016
Hello, thank you for the question.  The surgery could be performed under local but because of the extensive nature of the surgery, a large amount of local anesthesia would be required to control the pain. The concern is that high levels of local anesthesia may reach toxic levels and this would endanger your health.Optimal results are best obtained through sedation. 
I had a baby a year ago. I had to have a c-section. I want to fix my stomach
Tummy tuck after pregnancy and C-section
Mar 21, 2016
Congratulations on having had a new baby.Your desire to regain your youthful tummy contours is quite understandable.Your options include non-surgical and surgical procedures.Initial efforts can be directed at non-surgical techniques such as abdominal muscle exercises and weight control..When there is loose skin, as demonstrated in your photo's, then surgery will be more effective in improving your contoursThe decision between a "mini-tummy tuck" and a "full tummy tuck" depends on how...
Would I benefit more from liposuction or a mini tummy tuck?
Tummy Tuck versus Liposuction-- How to Decide
Mar 3, 2016
Thank you for your question.  Your photographs are a great in providing an answer to your question.  Your profile photographs (side views) show an "apron" of skin overhanging your pubic area. I suggest standing sideways in front of a full length mirror and tighten and relax your stomach muscles.  If there is a noticeable change in the contour of your abdomen when tightening your muscles you would benefit from a tummy tuck rather than liposuction.  A tummy tuck repairs the loose muscles...
Do you have experience first on doing full tummy tucks with muscle complete muscle repair on A
Tummy Tuck with Muscle Repair
Mar 3, 2016
Your question is appropriate because most tummy tucks require correction of the muscle layer of the abdomen.  Tightening skin and removing fat without repairing the muscles will not improve the contour of the abdomen if your muscles have been stretched.  A simple method to check if you need your tummy muscles repaired is to view your profile (side view) of yourself in front of a full length mirror, relax your tummy muscles and let your belly hang out.  Then tighten your muscles and if...
Breast lift with breast cancer family history. My question is would you recommend a breast lif
Breast Lift with History of Cancer
Feb 16, 2016
Thank you for the question.  I understand that you are concerned about your risk for breast cancer.  The American Cancer Society recommends a mammogram starting between the ages of 40 -45 years old (I recommend checking with your personal doctor). Women who have a elevated risk of breast cancer because of family history or genetic mutation, may benefit from a mammogram and/or MRI screening. Breast lift surgery has not been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer and any tissue removed...
Breast lift vs Breast reduction?
Reduction vs Lift
Feb 14, 2016
Breast lifts improve  the contour of droopy breasts where the nipple and areola are below the inframammary line. The size of the breast is usually maintained.  A breast reduction reduces the size of the breast as well as lifting the nipple and areola complex into a more youthful position.  This is a good question and speak to your plastic surgeon about your options. Good luck with your decision.Bryan Michelow MD 
Skiing after Breast Augmentation?
Skiing Post Breast Augmentation Surgery
Jan 31, 2016
Thank you for the question. Each surgeon has their own protocol regarding post operative activity following breast augmentation. I recommend that my patients do no heavy lifting during first week and then increase their activities over the next two weeks. Skiing presents a risk of falling and this could result in healing problems within the early stages of recovery. My recommendation is to speak to your board certified plastic surgeon.
Will gynecomastia worsen?
gynecomastia
Jan 31, 2016
Thank you for your question and photos. From your pictures you have a mild case of gynecomastia and your tests do not seem indicate any pathology of the breast. Putting on weight or consuming certain medications can make the breast tissue enlarge. Be aware that the following hormones and certain medications are among the drugs that can contribute to male breast enlargement; estrogen, some heart medications and antacids. I suggest a consultation with a board certified...
Is it possible to combine a cosmetic arm lift and a breast reduction covered by insurance?
Yes, these two procedures can be combined.
Jan 31, 2016
Thank you for your question and photos. Both procedures can be done at the same time. The start and end time of each of the procedures should be documented so the insurance company and only your insurance carrier should only billed for the portion of the surgery which is covered. This would also include fees for anesthesia and facility fees for the operating room
