After menopause, I went from a B cup to C. I am planning on a modified breast lift. Is it unreaso
Breast Lift and Reduction
Oct 25, 2020
It is absolutely not reasonable to want a breast reduction in addition to a lift if that is what you want. Many women have breast enlargement following menopause. Some women welcome this change, others would like their breasts a bit smaller. The size is up to you. It will be helpful to discuss size with the help of your own photos in your surgeons before and after gallery, or even by sharing images of yourself in form fitting clothing. the point is, cup size varies so significantly from...

You are Normal!
May 26, 2020
Normal, yes. But many women with a normal labia, or normal breasts or normal abdomens elect to have an aesthetic surgery procedure to provide a look that is more appealing, but still natural looking.
My vagina doesn't look normal is there loose skin?
Are My Labia Normal?
May 26, 2020
This is the most frequently asked question from women interested in labiaplasty. Most women seeking labiaplasty do have normal labia, but for a variety of reasons they may want a change. A plastic surgeon with expertise who listens to your goals can help you determine if a labiaplasty is right for you. Together you will discuss the different options available and the benefits of each method.
How do you know if I need a tummy tuck?
tummy tuck with liposuction/BBL
Apr 21, 2020
Thank you for your question. It looks like you are probably a great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction/BBL and I think you could get a beautiful result. In the photos, your skin appears to be significantly damaged from the birthing process and will likely not retract adequately if you have liposuction alone. If you want to avoid loose skin and achieve a flat smooth tummy, you will most likely need skin removal through a tummy tuck. I understand your hesitance to have...
Would I be able to get a tummy tuck even with my previous c-sections?
tummy tuck is safe after c-section
Apr 21, 2020
Thank you for your question. I'm sure there are many other women with the same concern. No need to worry, a tummy tuck after history of c-sections is safe and patients can still have beautiful natural results! In my practice, the risk for complications isn't any higher than a patient who had vaginal births.
As a mom myself, I understand how having kids can change your body. A tummy tuck can be life-changing. I recommend an in-person consult to get more...
Do I need an extended tummy tuck, circumferential tummy tuck or FDL tummy tuck with breast lift?
tummy tuck with breast lift
Apr 15, 2020
Thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, it looks like you are probably a great candidate for a standard tummy tuck with breast lift and some contouring with liposuction. I think you could get a beautiful result. If you have reached a stable weight that's manageable for you, it's a good time to think about the next steps and have a consultation!

Breast implants and tummy tuck. Would things be more complicated if I have uneven breasts? (Photo
mommy makeover with asymmetrical breasts
Apr 15, 2020
Thank you for your question. It looks like you are probably a great candidate for a mommy makeover and I think you could get a beautiful result. It is very common for women to have uneven breasts. Many women with uneven breasts seek out improvement with a breast augmentation or breast lift, or as part of a mommy makeover. Sometimes a lift on only one side or different sized implants are needed to make the nipple position, volume, and shape more symmetric.
When selecting...
Will a breast lift help an underboob roll?
several options for tissue excess under the breast
Apr 15, 2020
A breast lift alone does not address the area beneath the breast. There are several options for removing excess tissue underneath the breast and these can be performed with or without a breast lift. An examination or photographs are necessary to determine if your primary issue is excess skin, excess fat, or a combination of both. For excess skin, a reverse abdominoplasty is a great option, especially if you are having a breast lift, because the incisions are...
Running after breast augmentation and how to protect implants if one has dropped before the other
breast augmentation post-operative care
Apr 15, 2020
Good question. While every surgeon has slightly different post-operative protocols, it's important to avoid high-impact activities until the capsule has fully formed. Scar tissue takes 12 weeks to reach 80% of its final strength and that's why many surgeons will use that time point to clear patients for activities like running and jumping. This helps prevent stretch of the capsule and low implant position ("bottoming out"). I counsel my patients on gradual return to exercise with...
Is there a specific diet I need to follow before a tummy tuck with lipo and breast lift?
balanced sustainable diet
Feb 28, 2020
First, congratulations on deciding to make that change in your life! It can be challenging but will really pay off. Not only will you feel better, but your surgeon will be able to give you a more dramatic result once you have reduced the amount of fat inside on the inside of the abdominal wall. It's important that whatever dietary changes you employ prior to cosmetic surgery are sustainable and optimize nutritional markers such as protein, vitamins, and minerals. A balanced diet that is high...
Which labiaplasty technique would work best? How much can they reduce the skin on the clitoral ho
labiaplasty technique
Feb 28, 2020
Labiaplasty involves removal of excess tissue of the labia minora, clitoral hood, and/or labia majora and may also include fat grafting of the labia majora. There are two common techniques called “wedge resection” and “edge trim”. Each technique has advantages and disadvantages. The wedge resection technique preserves the normal edge of the labia and has the most natural appearance but rarely, a hole can form along the incision line. The edge trim technique generally removes...
What can I do to my labia? What can I do to make my labia minora/clitoral hood neater?
labiaplasty
Feb 28, 2020
Labiaplasty involves removal of excess tissue of the labia minora, clitoral hood, and/or labia majora and may also include fat grafting of the labia majora. There are two common techniques called “wedge resection” and “edge trim”. When possible, I prefer to use the wedge resection technique to hide the scar and prevent “scalloping” of the labia, which is a firm wavy scar along the edge. The best technique, however, depends on the patient’s i...
Will injecting 1 syringe into my cheeks and by my temple help lift my nasolabial lines?
facial proportions
Dec 11, 2019
Restoring volume to the cheeks and midface will, at best, create a very subtle improvement in your nasolabial folds if you look at them in isolation. However, facial rejuvenation is all about proportions. Adding more volume to the midface will make your lower face and jowl area appear slimmer and that will give you a more youthful appearance. It's important to go to an injector who listens to your aesthetic goals but also has an eye for facial proportions. Ask your doctor to...
Is it safe to say that a BSN RN is sufficient to inject facial fillers?
injector qualifications
Dec 11, 2019
The short answer is yes, many RN injectors are qualified to perform facial filler procedures. In our practice, our nurse injectors undergo extensive training and have in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy. They perform a high volume of treatments and I trust them with my own face. However, not all injectors have the same training. I recommend asking to see before and after photos and finding out how many years of experience they have performing injections. It's also very...
I have a dimple in the center of my bottom lip, I really like it. Are fillers going to change tha
communicate your goals
Dec 11, 2019
Communication is key. Filler could be placed to either accentuate or smooth away your dimple. Be sure that your injector takes time to understand your aesthetic goals prior to treatment. In my practice, I schedule time for both filler consultation and filler treatment which allows me to have an in-depth discussion about the treatment plan with my patients prior to injection.
That being said, Volbella is a very soft filler that gives your lips a more "hydrated" look but does not...
