Q: Not sure if I am a candidate for BBL or not. Wondering about potential wait times between the two, as recovery for both are counter-intuitive. For BA, am interested in augmenting mainly for shape and not size. Considering BBL mostly for silhouette reasons – concerned about looking “top heavy” after BA. Looking for smaller waist/rounded hips, more volume and projection on buttocks, less “square” look. Also curious about how either procedure could be affected by future pregnancies? thanks!

A: I actually combine breast augmentation and the Brazilian Butt Lift quite often in my practice. Recovery IS tricky since you will have to lie on your side. It is totally acceptable to separate them if that works best for you. I think you could have a great result with a Brazilian butt lift. It is my favorite procedure to reshape the midsection of the body. You are a good size and could have a flatter tummy, reduce your love handles and achieve a shaplier backside! If you are not looking to increase the size of your breasts dramatically, you might consider fat transfer to the breasts as well. Fat grafting to the butt is not affected by pregnancy, but it is affected by weight fluctuations. As you gain and lose body fat, the transferred fat will grow and shrink. Your breast size and breast shape could certainly be affected by pregnancy and truthfully, it is impossible to predict what that effect will be. Some women opt to delay breast procedures until after their families are complete for just that reason.

Can I expect implants to give me volume or is it absolutely necessary that I get a periareloar lift with an inverted it?

Can I expect implants to give me volume or is it absolutely necessary that I get a periareloar lift with an inverted it?

Q: Do I absolutely need the periareloa lift my ps is telling me I need. He plans on cutting out th areola. Repositioning it. & I will have a vertical scar from my nipple to under my breast & then a horizontal line under the breast as well. Is there Any other option to avoid all these scars? I want bigger full fake looking breasts. Thanks!

A: In the picture you submitted, you have your arms raised to hold the camera and your nipples are below the breast crease (inframammary fold). I would most certainly recommend a lift. Without one you would need your implants placed over the muscle which would contribute to breast drooping and not give you any upper fullness. With your degree of breast sagging any other implant placement (either dual plane or under the muscle) would likely give you a double bubble. Many of my breast augmentation patients want to create lift with implants alone, but this simply doesn’t happen. A breast lift will allow your surgeon to lift your breast tissue upward on your chest and place your nipples in a perky position. Only you can decide if the resulting scar is worth the improvement in shape.

I am a woman who is interested in abdominal etching. Any suggestions?

Q: Can woman have abdominal etching or is it done in men only? Are there any doctors in Florida that will preform this procedure? what is the price range on this?

A: Women can ABSOLUTELY have abdominal etching, also known as high definition liposuction! In my surgery center outside Atlanta, I use VASER – ultrasound assisted liposuction – to remove fat from the abdomen and highlight the abdominal muscles. The result is a sculpted, feminine abdomen. Vaser has the added benefit of tightening the skin so the results are truly amazing.

Will I be able to foreplay after Liposuction?

Will I be able to foreplay after Liposuction?

Q: I’m having liposuction on my outer thighs- will I be able to mess around about 3 weeks after I have lipo? Just as far as groping or getting intimate with my partner- we can play a bit rough at times, but I’m afraid of getting hurt?

A: You should play it by ear. I generally recommend allowing 2 weeks for recovery after liposuction. Everyone is a little different. My rule is – if it hurts, don’t do it.

How is the amount of fat removed in liposuction calculated

How is the amount of fat removed in liposuction calculated

Q: Is it only the fat removed or does it include the injected fluid? For example, if 5 liters was removed, is that all fat or is part of that the added fluid? Do doctors calculate this differently? I’ve never really understood this part. Thanks so much!

A: During liposuction, tumescent fluid – sterile saline mixed with medications to control bleeding and pain – is injected into the treatment area and allowed to sit for a time. This tumescent fluid is critical for successful liposuction. It loosens the fat and reduces complications. Tumescent fluid is then removed along with the fat. I count the total volume of fluid and tissue removed and never exceed 5 liters in one procedure. The liposuction aspirate contains fat, tumescent fluid and blood. Many patients just want to count the amount of pure fat removed, but unfortunately this is impossible to do. First, there are microscopic amounts of fat mixed in with the fluid. Also, the risks of liposuction increase when more than 5 liters of aspirate is removed – even though that aspirate contains more than just fat.
