Statement: Dr. Ferguson is a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon with more than 30 years of surgical experience and has gained a reputation among his peers as a surgeon dedicated to the highest quality patient care with exceptional outcomes. His work draws patients from all over the country and attracts requests to serve as a consultant to other plastic surgeons nationwide.

Dr. Ferguson specializes in surgery of the face, breast, and body. He is particularly well-known for his excellence in tummy tucks (abdominoplasty), breast enhancement procedures (including breast augmentation, breast lifts, and breast reduction), and complete mommy makeovers. His practice also offers in-office upper eye lifts and liposuction, significantly reducing the cost for these in-demand procedures.

Patients have a wide range of treatment options, from plastic surgery to nonsurgical and minimally invasive treatments such as cosmetic injectables, radio frequency skin rejuvenation and more.

The variety and challenge of customizing each surgery to the patient’s needs drew Dr. Ferguson to plastic surgery. “Every patient is unique, and every procedure must be fashioned to fit the individual,” he says.

Dr. Ferguson obtained his medical degree from the Stritch School of Medicine in Loyola University of Chicago. He then completed an internship in General Surgery at Wilford Hall Medical Center, followed by a residency in General Surgery at Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center in San Antonio and a residency in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Lahey Hospital & Medical Center (formerly the Lahey Clinic) in Burlington, Massachusetts.

Board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery Dr. Ferguson is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).

Doctor's answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Asymmetrical breasts. Can I fix them with two different sized implants?
Breast asymmetry
Dec 23, 2020
Correcting breast asymmetry can be a challenging problem. One option is to use implants of different volumes. While this corrects the volume asymmetry, the breasts can sometimes have a different appearance since there is more soft tissue on one side relative to the amount of implant present. I have found that fat grafting to the deficient side can help to equalize the amount of soft tissue, thus making the size discrepancy less noticeable. I generally do this at the same operation. This...
Liposuction or liposuction with mini TT?
Liposuction?
Dec 23, 2020
Because you have very little fat and a history of 3 pregnancies, I think that skin tightening would be the most beneficial aspect. A mini tummy tuck with limited liposuction in the areas of concern would likely achieve your goals.
Will a Tummy Tuck & Lipo Ruin My Tattoos?
Tummy tuck
Dec 23, 2020
You are correct that your tattoo will be pulled closer to her waist and that the belly button will come out through the tattoo. Whether or not those changes are worth the improvement in your abdominal contour is up to you. Advancing the skin upward is described, but is not advised in your scenario. It is not as effective in tightening the skin and has less favorable scars associated with it. I would strongly recommend a standard abdominoplasty with tattoo touchup as indicated.
Do I need lift? Incision and size
Breast lift?
Dec 23, 2020
It is a little difficult to tell without an in person consultation, but your right breast looks borderline for needing a lift. I think that you could most likely get away with augmentation alone, but I would get a few different opinions before proceeding.
Scopolamine patch / blurred vision before breast augmentation
Blurred vision
Oct 20, 2020
The blurred vision following use of the scopolamine patch would be expected to resolve within 1-2 days. If you are still having symptoms, I would recommend contacting your plastic surgeon to discuss.
Mini tummy tuck or liposuction with Renuvion to achieve a flat abdomen?
Mini abdominoplasty
Oct 20, 2020
Due to the relaxation of your abdominal wall, your best result would be obtained with formal tightening of your abdominal wall via abdominoplasty. Whether a mini would be adequate is difficult to tell from your photos because it depends on the laxity of the abdominal skin. This question would be best answered in person. Liposuction alone definitely will not correct the abdominal protrusion with or without Renuvion.
Will lipo fix this so it's more flat and symmetrical?
Liposuction?
Oct 20, 2020
It is very difficult to discern what the issue is based on your photographs. The stretch marks will make a less favorable result likely with liposuction alone. An abdominoplasty would be a better solution to correct all of your issues.
Do I have Tuberous Breasts? If so, is it possible to have an augmentation without areola
Areolar reduction?
Oct 20, 2020
It appears that she have fairly significant herniation of the nipple areolar complex. If an augmentation is performed without correction of that issue, the nipple will likely be too low on the implant and have a strange appearance. I would not recommend that course of action.
Can I fix these tuberous breasts only with implants?
Tuberous breasts
Oct 20, 2020
While it is possible to augment the breasts and correct most of the asymmetry with implants, the herniation of the nipple areola complex can only be fixed with an incision around the areola. I do not believe it would be an acceptable cosmetic result without correction of the second issue. I would encourage you to meet with a few plastic surgeons to satisfy yourself that the recommendations are largely the same.
45 years old. Facelift or fillers?
Facelift?
Jul 21, 2020
Most of your aging appears to be due to volume loss rather than descent. In patients with early changes such as yours, I prefer to start with volume replacement. Bellafill can provide long lasting change without the downtime or expense associated with a formal facelift. You will find a variety of opinions on how best to handle your concerns, so be sure to discuss with board certified plastic surgeons.
Breastfed 1 child. Does 450cc (gummy bear) seem logical to obtain a D/DD size?
Implant size
Jul 8, 2020
I prefer to take measurements, but everyone has their own way of doing things.  Just looking at your photos, I think that something in the 450cc range would be reasonable to get you where you want to be.  It's always a good idea to get a few opinions as you are doing and go with whomever you feel most comfortable.  Simulators are somewhat helpful to some in choosing a size as well.
Would 720 grams per breast allow me to be a size DD from a 36H?
Breast reduction
Jun 16, 2020
Cup sizes vary widely among manufacturers, so that can be very difficult to pin down.  There is a maximum safe amount that can be resected without jeopardizing the blood supply to the nipple, so one must be careful about trying to go too small.  750 grams seems like a reasonable goal for you based on your photos, and maybe even a little more.  The nipple piercing should not be an issue.
What is the best incision if I'm prone to keloid scars and interested in getting a breas
Scar
Jun 16, 2020
Unfortunately if you are prone to thickened scars, any incision may leave an unfavorable scar.  The key to minimizing scars is minimizing the tension placed on those scars.  The incision in the fold tends to be under very little tension and usually heals very favorably.  It is also the least visible if it doesn't end up healing well.
Drain or no drain for a tummy tuck?
Tummy tuck
May 12, 2020
Whether or not a surgeon uses drains or some other means of closing off the space that is created during the procedure is a matter of personal preference.  There is good data to support either method.  Find a surgeon with good results that connects with you.  That is far more important than their shoice of surgical technique.
How long can I drive after BR surgery?
Driving after surgery
May 12, 2020
This is a discussion best had with your plastic surgeon as everyone has their own opinions on the matter.  You definitely should not be driving if taking any narcotics or if it hurts to put your hands on the steering wheel.  There is unfortunately no real way to predict your level of post-op discomfort ahead of time.  Talk to your surgeon and make a plan togethre.
