What breast implants look the most natural?
For each woman, it is very important to select the implants that best fit your frame and body. Size, shape, position, pocket, and implant fill all influence the naturalness of the new breasts. This is the “secret of breast augmentation.” Jeffrey A. Ditesheim, MD, FACS READ MORE
What is a gummy bear implant?
The new silicone breast implants that are currently on the market (compared with the generation of silicone implants that were removed from the market in the 1990s) is a “gummy bear implant.” The silicone is more cohesive or solid. A cut into the implants does not cause the silicone to “run out” or bleed. It is a more solid internal material. Some refer to the anatomical breast implants which are even more cohesive as "gummy bear implants." It is called a gummy bear implant because, like the gummy bear candy, it is a stiff gel and not a liquid fill. READ MORE
I lost a lot of weight very fast. What can I do with my skin?
Losing 120lbs is an amazing achievement. The excess skin is now the problem and it must be removed surgically. There is no other solution. It will usually take more than one operation. A plastic surgeon who has experience with patients like you will be able to advise you how to proceed. Good luck, Dr. Ditesheim READ MORE
If my nose surgery goes wrong, can It be corrected?
If your nose surgery goes wrong, can it be corrected? Yes, BUT IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME! Think about what happens when you decide to alter your favorite dress or suit. The seams are open, some material is removed. It is better in one area but too tight in another. But it just doesn’t lay right. Now trying to fix it with more “alterations” can make it worse. Once the nose is altered there are irreversible changes to the “material”. So yes you can make it improved if a nose surgery “goes wrong”. A much more complex procedure will be needed. My advice: If you want to change your nose, chose the best surgeon, be clear what you want to change and try and do it once. Good luck. Dr. Ditesheim READ MORE
