Breast lift now or later?

Q: My sister is 24 and is wondering whether she would need to wait to have a lift until after she has children.

A: A full breast lift (mastopexy) will not only be aesthetically pleasing, but probably also reduce neck and shoulder pain as well as skin rashes under her breasts. Timing related to childbirth is personal. Based on the picture you submitted, your sister is a candidate for a full breast lift. Part of the procedure involves nipple repositioning with an incision around the areola. It is possible this will interfere with future breastfeeding. If she is planning to start a family now, I would advise she wait until after she is done. If, however, she is not planning to become pregnant right away she could definitely have the procedure now. A breast lift doesn’t affect fertility or pregnancy at all. She may need a revision afterward.

Why does a doctor say no NSAIDs for 7 days before upper eyelid surgery?

Why does a doctor say no NSAIDs for 7 days before upper eyelid surgery?

Q: Why does a doctor say no NSAIDs for 7 days before upper eyelid surgery?

A: NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) decrease platelet function. Platelets are essential to proper blood clotting. If you take an NSAID prior to surgery you are more likely to experience an increase in bleeding during and after the procedure. This can be quite significant and require treatment in the hospital. If you are taking NSAIDS on the advice of a doctor, you should discuss this with your surgeon during your consultation. NSAIDS are available over the counter (like aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen just to name a few) as well. It is CRUCIAL to follow your surgeon’s pre-operative instructions to the letter. ALWAYS be honest with your medical team about your medications and medical problems. It is better to delay or reschedule surgery than to experience a preventable complication!

Want that beach ready tight tummy? The Mini tummy tuck maybe just right for you !!

The Mini-tummy tuck is the sexy modified version of the original tummy tuck .This procedure tightens your muscles and removes excess abdominal skin below the belly button only, creating a smoother tighter midsection using a much smaller, shorter incision that can be hidden by your bikini .This is the perfect procedure for those who have a small amount of excess skin and fat under the belly button and want to tighten it up a little. Combined with liposuction of the love handles it can truly reshape the midsection. On todays episode of CurveLifeTV we are preforming a live Mini- tummy tuck and lipo of the flanks on our 42 year old patient who is 5’9 weighing at 147 pounds.

    Is it possible to have facelift without general anesthetic?

    Is it possible to have facelift without general anesthetic?

    Is it possible to have facelift without general anesthetic?

    Q: I was set to have a facelift, laser resurfacing, cheek implants, and upper and lower eyelid surgery. Then, six days before my surgery, I was told by my surgeon that the anesthesiologist said that my EKG made using general anesthesia too risky. I’m only 62 and have inherited my mother’s ā€œturkey neck.ā€ I cannot accept the fact that I will have to live with this for the rest of my anticipated long life. Is any procedure available with local anesthetic to help me?

    A: I perform most of my facelifts with sedation and local anesthesia. General anesthesia is needed for long surgeries, surgeries involving big muscles (like a tummy tuck) and surgeries that are very painful (like liposuction). With a skilled surgeon, a full facelift or any variation can be easily performed without general anesthesia. This significantly lowers your risk for complications due to anesthesia and shortens your recovery time!

    Q: Is it generally higher cost when having procedure in a hospital versus a private run facility that many surgeons have? For a tummy tuck and breast lift?

    A: This is a great question. There are several costs included in the quote you receive for your plastic surgery: the cost of materials used in your procedure (implants, surgical supplies, dressings, etc.), the surgeon’s fee and the facility fee. The facility fee varies greatly depending on where your procedure is performed. In general hospitals have high facility fees that are typically non-negotiable. You might also have fewer scheduling options with a hospital. Surgery centers typically have lower costs and more flexibility. A surgeon with his or her own operating suite will usually be able to offer the lowest cost and highest scheduling flexibility. Make sure that whatever option you choose is accredited!
