Doctor's answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
What is the best temperature for CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting Temperature
Jun 18, 2020
Hello and thank you for your question! CoolSculpting machines have the temperature automatically programmed. There should not be an option to change the temperature or a difference in price depending on the temperature. I would recommend using the CoolSculpting website to find a reputable specialist in your area to find out if you’re a good candidate and discuss your areas of concern. I hope this helps! Good luck.
What causes one breast to not drop after breast surgery?
Implant Dropping
Jun 18, 2020
Hello and thank you for your question! It is normal for breast implants to settle at different rates and can often take up to six months. There are several factors that can influence how quickly a breast implant drops such as size, how tight the pocket is, handedness, and muscle thickness among others. I would recommend discussing your concerns with your plastic surgeon. I hope this helps!
Would I be a candidate of liposuction or would I need a tummy tuck too?
Liposuction with Tummy Tuck Candidate
Jun 18, 2020
Hello and thank you for your question! Based on the photos you are an excellent candidate for liposuction and possibly a tummy tuck. Liposuction will remove excess fat while a tummy tuck will repair the muscle separation in the abdomen that occurs from having children and remove excess skin. I would recommend having an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon so you can discuss your concerns, they can assess you and review your options. Best of luck!
Can my belly button have a revision after my procedure two years ago?
Belly Button Revision
Jun 18, 2020
Hello and thank you for your question! It is possible to have a belly button revision. I would recommend following up with your plastic surgeon to be evaluated and discuss your concerns. They can review all your options and recommend the best treatment plan. Good luck!
Can CoolSculpting be done on the hips or not?
CoolSculpting on the Hips
Jun 18, 2020
Hello and thank you for your question! CoolSculpting treatment may be done on the outside of the thighs as well as just beneath the buttocks. In order to be a good candidate for treatment on the outside thigh there must be a true “saddle bag” to treat. Treating directly over the buttocks is not an approved area. I would recommend seeing a CoolSculpting specialist to discuss your concerns and determine if you are a good candidate. Best of luck!
I have several large screws and metal in my pelvis and abdomen. Is it safe to get CoolSculpti
CoolSculpting with Metal in Pelvis
Jun 18, 2020
Hello and thank you for your question! Coolsculpting treats the subcutaneous fat by suctioning it into an applicator. Any metal in your pelvis or abdomen would not be in this layer. There are also no contraindications for metal implants. I would have a consultation with a CoolSculpting specialist to discuss your concerns so they can recommend a personalized treatment plan. I hope this helps! Good luck.
Is it safe to travel a 10 hour flight 9 weeks after a mommy makeover?
Flying after Mommy Makeover
Jun 18, 2020
Hello and thank you for your question! After 9 weeks with normal recovery and no complications you should be able to travel on a 10 hour flight safely. It is important to get up to stretch your legs several times throughout the flight and stay hydrated. I would be sure to double check with your surgeon for their recommendations. Best of luck!
Is it possible to fix an appendectomy scar and get lower abdomen lipo at the same time? (phot
Liposuction and Appendectomy Scar
Jun 18, 2020
Hello and thank you for your question! Yes it is possible to perform liposuction to remove excess fat and fix the appendectomy scar at the same time. Liposuction can also release the scar tissue beneath the scar creating a smoother appearance and improved contour of your abdomen. I recommend having a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss all your options. Best of luck!
Is this mole that is itchy and changes normal?
Itchy Mole
Jun 18, 2020
Hello and thank you for your question! Any mole that you notice is changing needs to be evaluated by a medical provider. It may require a biopsy. Good luck!
What should I do to prevent wrinkles?
Wrinkle Prevention
Feb 24, 2020
Hello and thank you for your question! Excellent job always wearing sunscreen! Preventing sun damage as well as limiting sun exposure is one of the most important things you can do to help avoid wrinkles. Other options include medical grade skincare like retinoids, microneedling, and laser resurfacing.  Botox is a “wrinkle relaxer” that blocks the chemical connection between the nerve and the muscle, paralyzing the muscle that causes wrinkles. By starting botox at an early age before the ...
What do I do about my lower back fat?
Weight Loss and Body Contouring
Feb 24, 2020
Hello and thank you for your question! Congratulations on your weight loss! It is difficult to tell from the photos alone what would be best for you. An in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to have a thorough assessment and discuss your concerns and create a surgical plan to achieve your goals is the best option. With significant weight loss it is common to have excess skin which can create an abnormal contour. It is possible to have stubborn fat in this area as well...
