Tummy tuck before kids
Tummy TuckMember Response:
Hi there! The best treatment option depends on how much loose skin you have, and the condition of that skin. If it is a mild amount, you can consider nonsurgical skin tightening with radiofrequency treatments, for example. The best results require a series of them once a week for 8-10 weeks on average. If there is more loose skin, then a tummy tuck is an option. In addition to removing excess skin, tummy tucks typically also include tightening of the ab muscles, which is not recommended if you are planning to have kids in the future, since it would not stretch the same way non-tightened abs would. This is a good thing if you are done having kids, but if you are not sure or plan to, it is best to skip this step for now. You may not need it anyway if you have not had large weight changes or pregnancy in the past (the usual reasons for diastasis recti, or the separation between the abs). Liposuction only reduces the volume of fat present, and does not tighten the skin.
Puffiness on cheek bone from old injury
Cosmetic SurgeryMember Response:
Hi there! It's hard to know on the photos how much is temporary swelling, versus your new normal, versus pre-existing asymmetry that simply went unnoticed until after the trauma. If it's an issue of swelling, it sounds like you tried some great measures. One treatment you could consider at this point is enhancing symmetry with fillers. Fillers can smooth the transition from the cheekbone to the cheek next to it, and can enhance the smaller side in a way to match the opposite side, and help match the contours overall. An important point when considering fillers, is finding a surgeon whose aesthetic you like, because the results are completely operator dependent. The same fillers given to different surgeons can yield dramatically different results. The choice of filler, how much is injected, where and how it is injected, and the goal result, will vary surgeon to surgeon. The best way to get a sense of the surgeon's aesthetic taste is to look at before and afters.
Do I look like I need a nose job?
RhinoplastyMember Response:
1-You already look attractive with the nose you have, and 2- when it comes to cosmetic procedures, it is not really a "need", but rather a "want", that is being addressed. As plastic surgeons, we can almost always find ways to enhance a feature, even on already beautiful faces, but that does not mean you need to have surgery! The main question here is what do YOU think about your nose, and if it is a source of distress to you, what would you want to change about it? Rhinoplasty is not a surgery you can "take back", so you want to be completely sure of wanting surgery and clear on what change you want to see, and share this with your surgeon. If you are not sure, one option to consider is a liquid rhinoplasty, otherwise known as a nonsurgical rhinoplasty. It is when fillers are used to smooth our or reshape the nose.
