Tummy tuck suture removal from belly button. What should be done?
Umbilical sutures
Aug 23, 2017
Ideally you would be able to go to your surgeon to be assessed. The area around your belly button is red and swollen and I would be a bit concerned about infection.  If the redness is receding with the antibiotics that is a good sign.  Additionally, the umbilicus itself looks slightly purplish, which can be a sign of compromised blood supply.  A medical professional should assess your abdomen in person and could help with removal of sutures, as well as making decisions regarding the re…
I am 5’2, 112 lbs, 34. How can I fix my breast shape and position of areola and make my areolas
Position and size of areola after children
Aug 23, 2017
Unfortunately, children are VERY hard on our bodies, and particularly on our breasts.  From your photos, you have fairly widely spaced breasts that are a little bit ptotic (droopy) and have stretched areolas.  You also have a loss of upper pole fullness/cleavage, which is very very common after childbirth.A mastopexy (or breast lift) would correct the size of the areolas and the position so that they are more symmetrical and less ptotic.  The mastopexy alone, however, does not add volume (wh…
Can there still be fluid in a seroma even when doctor tried to aspirate and could not extract an
Seroma after liposuction/tummy tuck
Aug 23, 2017
Some degree of swelling at 8 weeks post lipo and tummy tuck can be totally normal.  Seroma, a collection of serous fluid normally used to lubricate the muscles, is one of the most common complications after a tummy tuck and frequently aspiration can help.  If your surgeon tried to aspirate with no success, that could be for several reasons.  1. It might be swelling in the  tissue rather than a fluid collection/seroma. 2. It might be a very small collection and he wasn’t able to locate it wit…
Should I get a tummy tuck?
Should I get a tummy tuck
Jul 21, 2017
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) would also for removal of excess skin and tightening of your abdominal muscles.  Using liposuction in conjunction with the procedure would help to think out your upper abdomen and would help to create a contour more in keeping with the look you are desiring.  Tummy tucks leave long scars, but these are kept low (even lower than a C-section scar) and are able to be hidden by clothing, underwear and bathing suits.  Based on your photos you would be an excellent ca…
What happens to skin after liposuction?
Skin response to liposuction
Jul 21, 2017
Liposuction is essentially used to “vacuum” fat deposits and create a better contour.  It does not address skin at all.  The advantage is that is has very small incisions with limited scarring.  In patients with thick, elastic, good quality skin with few stretch marks the likelihood of the skin contracting down with good result is high.  In people who already have loose skin or lots of stretch marks, liposuction can actually make the loose skin look worse, because you are losing volume but…
Left arm pain with numbness of hand 1 month post breast augmentation.
Hand pain/numbness after breast augmentation
Jul 21, 2017
Arm pain and hand numbness are not typical following breast augmentation and you should certainly discuss with your surgeon.There are a couple of reasons why you might develop these symptoms.  The most concerning thing, which would need urgent assessment, is a cardiac event.  Chest pain, left arm pain, crushing and numbness can be signs of a heart attack.  That would be extremely uncommon in a healthy patient following a short surgery.More likely is that the positioning of your arm in su…
My surgery is June 15th which is in 1 day and I just got a yeast infection! Is ok to continue wi
Yeast Infection Before Breast Augmentation
Jun 16, 2017
I’m sorry that happened to you!  If you were my patient, I would definitely recommend waiting until the yeast infection has been treated and resolved.  An implant is a foreign body and the single biggest problem can be infection around the implant.  We want the pocket that the implant is going to be placed into to be as sterile as possible.  Ideally an elective procedure can be deferred until the patient is healthy and fit to minimize the risk of complications.  Good luck!
