I Am Interested in Having an Hour Glass Curvy Shape with the Least Scarring Possible?


Q: Im 29 and had 2 kids via c-sections. I was at 252lbs and lost 77lbs in last 3yrs. I have typical latin shape big lower body/small upper body. No matter how much cardio/weights I do stomach/ butt/thighs dont budge. Do you recommend I have a brazilian butt lift which lipos my problem areas and give me the look I want or would lipo not take care of the stomach due to pregnancy or would I benefit from a tummy tuck? The stretchmarks dont bug me just dont want the skin on tummy to sag after lipo. HELP

A: The Brazilian Butt Lift is a great procedure for creating the hourglass shape you desire. You could harvest fat from your abdomen and flanks and use that to give your butt fullness and shape. You could certainly add on additional areas of liposuction (like thighs) if you like. It is tough to assess your skin quality from your photos (they are a bit dark). During a consultation, your plastic surgeon can tell you whether or not you need a tummy tuck. I often perform BBL and tummy tuck together in my Atlanta surgery center.

Enough Fat for BBL?

Enough Fat for BBL?

Q: Hi, I’m 5 8 – 5 9″ and weight 140 pounds I had been trying to gain weight but can’t put more than 15 pounds…so I’m 152 pounds now and would like to know if I have enough fat for BBL. Thanks

A: Based on your pictures, I think you could have a nice result from a Brazilian Butt Lift! It looks like you have harvestable fat on your abdomen, flanks and thighs. It would be a good idea to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon for a consult to discuss your desired result.

BBL Before or After Pregnancy?

BBL Before or After Pregnancy?

Q: Hi! I really really REALLY am in a dilemma- where I feel the BBL is something I truly want within the next 6-8 months. I absolutely… POSITIVELY would prefer to do this now, however god willing, I will likely attempt to experience healthy pregnancy and childbirth within the next 3-5 years. With my overwhelming desire to complete this procedure now, what are your honest recommendations (I will absolutely follow the recommendations of the physicians advice on this matter)

A: If you had said you were planning a pregnancy this year, I would advise waiting until after childbirth, but since you are planning to have kids in 3-5 years, I don’t see why you can’t have a BBL now. Neither liposuction nor fat transfer will affect your fertility and those surgeries do not pose a risk to future pregnancies. Pregnancy does change your body. One of the reasons many plastic surgeons counsel women to wait until after childbearing to have surgery is that pregnancy can ā€œundoā€ the effect of the surgery. There is no predicting how your body will change during pregnancy and you may desire another procedure after you are done having kids.

Can I get just a breast lift with small breasts?

Can I get just a breast lift with small breasts?

Q: I’ve breastfed two children and now I have quite a lot of deflation, I’d say stage 2 I don’t want to get implants because I don’t agree with fake breast, but I would like a lift, it’s very hard to find bras to fit etc. can I get a lift without much breast tissue? I’m an A-B my size changes. I know getting a lift would leave me with small breast but I would be happy just to have perky natural breast.Is it easier to lift small breast or large breast? Thanks for as much info as you can give me.

A: You can have a breast lift without adding implants. Because skin is removed during the lifting process, you should expect some volume loss. It sounds like you are totally fine with that. If the smaller breast size is an issue for you down the road, you can always have augmentation with a small implant or consider fat transfer to your breasts in a separate procedure.

I’m 20 Years Old and Am Unsure if the Saline Implants I Get Will Be the Best Think for Me?

I’m 20 Years Old and Am Unsure if the Saline Implants I Get Will Be the Best Think for Me?

Q: I’m 20 years old, Caucasian, 5ft6 and 130 pounds. I’ve been looking into getting saline implants as I’m not 22 yet and cannot get the silicone. I’ve heard alot of bad things about saline and I’m hoping y’all can put my mind at ease. How common is rippling? And how natural will it look/feel? Also, I’ve heard that if you have smaller breasts, that you shouldn’t get a dramatic increase in bust size like say from 32A to a 32D. Is this true? Lastly, should I get it above or below the muscle? Thanks!

A: You are correct that silicone breast implants are only approved for use at age 22 and older so right now saline implants are your only option. Saline implants can give a nice, natural result. I prefer silicone for women who are seeking a dramatic increase in breast size (like from an A to a D) and for women with a small amount of natural breast tissue. I love the dual plane approach where the implants (saline or silicone) are placed partially under the muscle – this also helps me achieve a more natural appearance since the implants aren’t sitting right under the skin. You should also be aware that your nipples are spaced far apart. This cannot be corrected with breast augmentation and will probably be more noticeable. Please also keep in mind that you have the option of having saline implants now and going up a cup size or two. You can see how they look over the next 2 years and switch to silicone if you want at age 22.

What is the capsule?

What is the capsule?

Q: What is the capsule?… What does it mean when people says they will get the capsule removed, or straight removal without removing the capsule?… I don’t understand the terms and I want to know the difference before I undergo implant removal… How do I know which way I need to go how to ask this question when I start going into consultations to find a ps . Thank you

A: Our body has several mechanisms to deal with foreign objects. When a foreign body cannot be broken down, we form a wall around it. Breast implants are foreign objects and your body will always put a layer of scar tissue around the implants. This scar tissue is called a capsule. It always exists. The capsule is generally thin and flexible and causes no problems whatsoever. However, sometimes this scar tissue becomes calcified and contracts (capsular contracture). This can cause the implant to become hard to the touch and/or misshapen. When capsular contracture occurs the capsule needs to be removed. If, however, you are removing or exchanging your implants and you have a normal, thin, asymptomatic capsule, the capsule does not need to be removed. The capsule is attached to the underlying structures of your breast and removing it increases the risk of bleeding and tissue damage during surgery.
