Ask a Surgeon
Dr. Armando Donati participates in the ASPS Ask A Surgeon service. View responses to public questions below.
Open wound, wet scab?
Breast LiftMember Response:
Hello, dehiscence of that part of the wound is very common in this anchor technique. The most important thing is that you have continuous monitoring by your surgeon because there may be exposure of the implant and that requires explanation. You have to keep the wound with daily antiseptic cleaning and application of antibiotic and antifungal cream.
Belly button wont stay together
Tummy TuckMember Response:
Hello, the most important thing in this post-op stage is that you know that the biological times of the tissues are slow and in full scar contraction at this stage. For this reason, it is not the best time to do something. You should perform local dressings with healing creams and wait until 6 months post-op. Only then can you have a new evaluation to plan the restoration you may need. Another important point is that you know that this surgery can have this type of complications and that maintaining a good relationship with your surgeon and being patient are key to reaching a good solution.
Skin Laxity in Armpit After Axillary Breast Tissue Removal
Body ContouringMember Response:
In this type of surgery, as in all, adequate preoperative planning is necessary. Therefore, diagnosis is key. Once the surgery has been performed and following your description, if there is currently excess skin, then the skin type will have to be defined to know if it is only excess skin or if you also have sagging skin. because the planning of the next surgery will depend on that.

Deviated Tip
RhinoplastyMember Response:
Inflammation of the operated area is to be expected during the first 6 months. Only then will you see the final result, which you will have after a year, once the inflammation disappears 100%. In Rhinoplasty you must have a lot of patience. Regardless of what I told you, and looking at your photograph, you should consult with your surgeon so that he can compare it with the preop and evaluate if the defect is real or just inflammation.
Breast lift
Breast Implant RemovalMember Response:
Hello, it is an excellent decision! It can be done preserving 100% of your current breast volume and if necessary and you need to compensate even more volume, you can plan a breast modeling with autologous fat (own fat transfer). For which it will be necessary for you to make a consultation with a certified plastic surgeon who will accompany you in the process.
Understanding Capsulectomy vs capsulotomy
Breast Implant RevisionMember Response:
Hello, what is indicated is to remove the entire capsule and with the placement of a new implant, your body will form a new capsule. Unless you want to remove everything and model your breasts without implants. Either way, it is important that you consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon that you trust.
Breast lift incisions not in the crease.
Breast LiftMember Response:
Hello! Indeed, it is still early to see the final result, the scars do not look bad in the image, although it is true regarding the location of the lower scars with respect to the breast fold. For its correction, a review of it will be necessary. It would be correct for your surgeon to solve it or you will have to go to another to do it. the minimum adequate time to do so is 6 months after your surgery.

My breasts are naturally uneven. I had an implant put in one to even them out. I then breastfed and
Breast ReconstructionMember Response:
Hello, 95% of women have breast asymmetry to varying degrees. Pre-surgical diagnosis and planning to correct it is necessary if you want it as a patient. Obviously that did not happen. So if today is your wish, you should have a consultation with a certified plastic surgeon to plan and correct it. Today there is technology that allows us to be certain of the difference in volume between the Breasts and helps us select the appropriate prosthesis volume to correct it.
Lip Scar tissue removal/ lip realignment
Lip Augmentation/EnhancementMember Response:
Hello! It is possible to improve it but not eliminate it. Technically you need a minimal resection to only have a fine and neat linear cocysteis.
How to find information on my implants?
Breast AugmentationMember Response:
Hello! The best way to find out this information is by asking for the records of your surgical intervention at the center where you did it. Simple as that.
third party companies offering cosmetic surgery procedures.
Breast Implant RevisionMember Response:
Hello! My suggestion is that you consult with a certified plastic surgeon. These companies may have good surgeons or not, but it is always important that you have some reference about their background and experience.
In house financing?
Body ContouringMember Response:

Can multiple surgeries be done
Thigh LiftMember Response:
Hello!, To evaluate you it is necessary to see you, in person or by images. Because excessive weight loss usually leaves large flaps, which require major surgeries. Beyond this explanation, as a certified plastic surgeon, I consider it important to be meticulous in the result, which takes time and this can be a counter to performing all procedures simultaneously. In summary, it is necessary that you have a personal consultation with a certified plastic surgeon to evaluate the possibility of performing all the procedures in a single intervention or planning a surgical sequence in different stages.

Breast cancer double mastectomy results
Breast Implant RemovalMember Response:
Hello! In these cases it is always better to evaluate your case in person to take into account the state of your skin and fat-producing areas. The surgical option that I suggest if possible to help your skin recover is to perform fat transfer in the irradiated chest in order to improve the quality and elasticity of the tissue. This may require several sessions every 3-6 months. Once the expected result is achieved, plan a reconstruction with mesh and the silicone implant. It is a process that can last between 1-2 years until the last intervention. It would be good for you to consult with a certified surgeon who performs this procedure and has a similar conduct. I hope it helps.
5 yrs post op cramps
Tummy TuckMember Response:
Hello, how are you?. Each body is different, and each evolution is unique in each person. On the other hand, it is necessary to understand what your abdomen was like and what health and physical habits you had before abdominal surgery. Still, it's unusual for it to last that long. For this reason, I invite you to have a new consultation with your surgeon so that he can evaluate all these points and can draw a conclusion about the reasons for your evolution.
