Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Is this fat or swelling 2.5 months post-op? The PA told me it’s all fat and I have no more swelling
Could also be “looseness” of the abdominal wall
Jul 3, 2019
Hello,Tummy tuck surgery does not correct everything. As the results of surgery mature, some of the tightness of any muscle repair or skin tightening commonly loosens to some extent. Tummy Tuck surgery involves much more than fat and skin. It involves the biomechanics of changing these structures.  Best Regards,
Are there negative long-term effects of reducing both inner/outer labia to be flat?
More surgery more risk
Jul 3, 2019
Hello,Most of the long term risk is loss of sensation related to the extent of surgery and the technique. I usually recommend carefully planned and limited labiaplasty to limit this potential risk. Best Regards,
Would an implant alone give me at least some kind of volume?
One Vote for Some Kind of Lift
Jul 2, 2019
Hello,Without a lift your breasts will sit low and the nipples will sit low on them. I would consider the addition of some kind of lift to add more correction.Best Regards,
I am getting implants and I am not sure if I want to do a lift. Do I really need one?
Lift vs No Lift
Jul 2, 2019
Hello,In your case without a lift your nipples will likely be “low on the breasts” and the contour of the breast mounds will be less spherical. Worse yet is the potential decision to go with larger implants to try to “fill you back up” without the lift….my opinion. Lift surgery more scars for better contourNo Lift fewer scars accepting lesser correctionBest Regards,
Is it unreasonable to ask my surgeon for a revision to convert Mini TT into full? Would you do this
Yes and No…..
Jul 2, 2019
Hello,I agree with the others who have indicated that Mini Tummy Tuck surgery tends to be disappointing in most clients. Asking about expanding your surgery into a Full or Extended Tummy Tuck is not merely a revision; it is an extension of the scope of the first operation. “Could it be done” one is one question….”Who pays” is another. “When” is a third.Compromise time….talk with your surgeon to try to come up with the most reasonable compromise.Best Regards,
How common is nerve damage resulting from a labiaplasty? Does it have anything to do with the metho
Technique and Extent of Surgery
Jul 2, 2019
Hello Julie,More extensive operations tend to lead to more sensory loss. It is a matter of opinion as to how that can be avoided. I tend to prefer Wedge procedures in most cases.Best Regards,
What are the risks for Majoraplasty reduction? Could that affect pudendal nerves? How is the recove
A bit more complicated…..
Jul 2, 2019
Hello,Majoraplasty is a bit more complicated than “minora” reduction. The scars are more noticeable (on both sides of the vagina-thigh crease) and there is a higher risk of bleeding and sensory loss.Best Regards,
Was enough removed in my labiaplasty procedure?
Enough removed?
Jul 2, 2019
Hello,If you feel you are still too “bulky” you might want to consider revision but let the tissues heal and soften first. Best Regards,
What can be done to improve the appearance of my vulva? I am desperate for change.
First relax…..
Jul 2, 2019
Hello,Sorry to hear of your dismay but you do not look as bad as you think. :)If you are thinking about surgery the first thing to do is try to relax and think objectively: what exactly is it that bothers you about the way things are now? Small changes are better tolerated and more sensation is preserved when you do not have “overhaul” level operations. Best Regards,
Labia amputation with heavy scarring. Is a revision possible 2 months post op?
Wait as long as you can…..
Jul 2, 2019
Hello,Sorry to read of your experience. To make more improvement possible you want to wait until your surgical site has healed and softened. This will take months. Then you want to find the most experienced surgeon you can to consider revision. Best Regards,
Would I need a wedge or trim to get all removed for clean look?
Not that simple unfortunately
Jul 2, 2019
Hello,Labiaplasty surgery is not as simple as choosing a wedge or a trim and asking for a “clean look.” We all do our operations a bit differently. You need to see your potential surgeon’s work and make sure you are comfortable before your surgery.Best Regards,
The surgeon I had a consult with recommended trim but I’m worried I need the wedge. Recommendations
Barbie Look
Jun 27, 2019
Hello,When ladies ask for a particular look it causes me to pause.My opinion is that limited surgery preserves sensation and I aim to preserve sensation. That being said I prefer Wedge surgery for most clients. Have a long talk with your surgeon before you decide, so that there is a good understanding before surgery day,Best Regards,
A hole on labia 3 monts after Labiaplasty. Can this be fixed?
Wedge Complication
Jun 27, 2019
Hello,Yes. It can be repaired. I agree with the others who recommended waiting months for the tissues to soften first. If the tissues are not too thin repair should be successful.Bes Regards,
Does it look like I would benefit from labiaplasty? I had two children and it has been causing me p
Figure the Pain Source first
Jun 27, 2019
Hello,Having larger Labia minoare can cause pain but try to be pretty sure that the size is causing that pain before your surgery. You don’t look really large to me then again I am only looking at your images. I make it a practice to never promise pain to be reduced unless I am pretty sure. Sometimes other things may cause that pain and your surgery would not help in that case.Best Regards,
Labiaplasty? Vaginal Rejuventation? Pubic Mons Reduction/lift??? What do I need? **PLEASE HELP!!!**
Beware the “Down Under Overhaul”
Jun 27, 2019
Hello,I would advise you consider limited surgery for your privates geared to keeping sensation. Large scale surgery of the privates can lead to profound numbness. I would look to prioritizing your desires and considering them with limiting risk in mind.Best Regards,
