Can I safely have a tummy tuck if I am a type 1 diabetic and have some neuropathy in my feet
Can I safely have a tummy tuck if I am a type 1 diabetic and have some neuropathy in my feet?
May 21, 2020
Hi Lisatt,Thanks for your question. As long as your type 1 DM is under control and your primary care doctor has cleared you, a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) can be performed safely. The issue with DM is that it increase the risk of wound healing complications and infections, but with a conservative and safe approach, performed by a board-certified, experience plastic surgeon, the increase risks can be mitigate. Numbness in your C-section scar is quite normal and may be permanent. It is...
What options do I have to correct a poorly done breast reduction when too much was taken out
Fat Grafting to Breasts
Oct 21, 2019
Thanks for your question and pictures. From what I can tell, you would need large volume fat grafting to your breast. More importantly, you would also need to expand your skin envelope pre-operatively with the use of an expansion device called "EVE". It's the new device that has been redesigned (previously called BRAVA). I don't think straight fat grafting will make a big impact as your breast skin envelope appears tight. Make sure you see a board certified surgeon who specializes in this ...
Is it time for a neck lift or are there less invasive options for smoothing, wrinkle removal
Is it time for a neck lift or are there less invasive options for smoothing, wrinkle removal and overall tightening?
Oct 21, 2019
This is one of the most common questions I get from my 35-45 year old patients. Non-invasive skin tightening has become very popular and it can be a good way of tightening the skin of those patients who are not ready for a  formal facelift. Buyer be aware of over-selling and it is important to have realistic expectations. Radio-frequency treatments, laser resurfacing, botulinum toxin and quality skin care are just some of the options. Make sure you discuss your particular needs with a bo...
Can you go through the belly button for fat transfer so I don't have any appearances of surg
Can you go through the belly button for fat transfer so I don't have any appearances of surgery at all?
Jan 11, 2019
In order to inject fat into the breast for autologous fat transfer, small needle pokes are used. They have to be placed around the periphery of the breast to make sure you get an even distribution and contour.It is not possible to inject fat into the breasts from the belly button.
What can I do after I already removed scar tissue?
What can I do after I already removed scar tissue?
Jan 11, 2019
Recurrent capsular contractures are difficult for both the patient and surgeon. There is no easy answer to your question.
The use of ADM as an internal bra may be a step to consider, but you are correct in saying it is expensive.
Removal of the implants is another consideration, but also remember, you can consider autologous fat grafting to restore some of the volume in your breast. The procedure can be done at the same time as the removal of your implants. Make sure you see a board ...

Dimpling after PDO thread treatment done 15 days ago.

Dimpling can occur, but usually goes away. Massaging after 2 weeks can help.Please consult with your surgeon for expectations and instructions.

How much does the mommy makeover cost? Is there some sort of payment plan?
Nov 1, 2018
The cost of procedures depends on the amount of surgery, facility fee, time under anesthesia and any associated implants or special devices. Our office does provide patient financing options.

In most cases yes, you can take ibuprofen after surgery. However, please consult with your surgeon prior to taking any medication that are not prescribed.
Abnormal EKG - will I be approved for surgery?
Abnormal EKG - will I be approved for surgery?
Nov 1, 2018
The are preoperative evaluations set up to evaluate your risk for general anesthesia. Those evaluations include blood work, EKG, chest x-ray, urinalysis, etc. What to order is based on the procedure, your medical history, your age and should be directed by your surgeon or primary care provider. An abnormal EKG warrants further analysis by a cardiologist and commonly, some type of stress test will be necessary. In most cases, if the stress tests are normal, your cardiologist will clear you ...
What happens if I lose weight post TT and BBL?
What happens if I lose weight post TT and BBL?
May 21, 2018
There is a possibility that if you lose weight after abdominoplasty or fat transfer, you may affect the results significantly.I tell most of my patients to reach as close to 10 pounds to their weight loss goals before having body contouring surgery.If you are considering a 20 pound weight loss, lose 10 and then consider having surgery by a board certified plastic surgeon.
General or local anestesia?
General or local anestesia?
May 16, 2018
If you are young and healthy without any major medical problems you should be a candidate for local with sedation or general anesthesia.Talk to your surgeon about your concerns. I do rhinoplasty surgeries with either LIVS or general.I usually leave it up to the patient. 
Non-surgical interventions for thighs?
Non-surgical interventions for thighs?
May 2, 2018
There are limited non-surgical interventions for thigh contouring that actually produce a consistent result and usually patient expectations can be difficult to fulfill. Your best options are to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who can discuss surgical and non surgical option based on your examination and expectations.
Breast augmentation after breastfeeding, advice?
Breast augmentation after breastfeeding, advice?
Apr 18, 2018
I usually ask my patients to wait about 6 mo after breastfeeding to perform surgery to the breast.Sometimes we have to wait longer because of persistent colostrum expression. Please bring up your concerns to your board certified plastic surgeon before your surgery. Good luck.

Bruising after surgery
Apr 14, 2018
Bruising after surgery can vary from patient to patient and procedure to procedure. Typical bruising will be reddish the progress to a darker purple, then to greenish and yellow,It is the breakdown of red blood cells within the bruise itself that causes the color changes.Bruising also succumbs to gravity and will travel down your body after surgery.The most important advice would be to follow up with your surgeon, who can evaluate and reassure you. Any possible complications will be a...

Hematoma? Bruising? Pain? 4 days post BA.
Mar 28, 2018
Hard to tell without examination, but it doesn't appear to be a hematoma. You should call your ASPS/ABMS board certified surgeon and get evaluated ASAP.
