Is liposuction a permanent treatment?
This is a good question. Liposuction does remove fat cells however it is not a substitute for a tummy tuck. If you were told that you need to have a tummy tuck that is significant and is probably due to laxity of your abdominal wall. A tummy tuck in conjunction with liposuction would give you best results to regain your shape. READ MORE
How can a scar just above the eyes be removed?
It sounds as if you have a vertical scar on your forehead. I assume that it is at least 12 months old (it takes about that long for a scar to mature). A depressed scar can be improved with laser, dermabraision, or scar revision by surgically removing the scar, repairing the muscle under the skin, and creating multiple interdigitating flaps, then closing the skin. You may later need dermabraision. I would recommend that you see a BC plastic surgeon. READ MORE
Is a cosmetic surgery the same as a plastic surgery?
Cosmetic surgery can be performed by anyone with a knife in the hand. The question is was the "surgeon"trained through a formal Plastic Surgery training or ENT Facial Plastic Surgery..usually "cosmetic surgeons"are not recognized by the American Board ofMedical Specialties. You should always check the credentials and specifically type of board certification READ MORE
Does liposcution help one lose weight or does it only tighten the skin?
Liposuction does help somewhat with weight reduction but its purpose is usually shaping. Skin contracture depends on factors as age, skin,previous pregnancies and other factors. Laser,ultrasound assisted liposuction may help skin tightening however BodyTite radiofriquency assisted liposuction can be a better way to tighten skin. You should consult with a Plastic Surgeon to determine best procedure for you. Good luck READ MORE
Mom died of breast cancer- need feedback on nipple sparing masectomy
Thank you for your question. Very sorry to read about your mom. One consideration would be if she was diagnosed before or after menopause. My second question would be if your mom or you have had genetic testing. Have you had any mammograms yet, given your family history? Anyone other than your mom in your family with breast or ovarian cancer history? From your question, it is apparent you are contemplating a nipple sparing mastectomy. This is a well accepted procedure not only in patients with your history, but also in patients with malignant lesions, provided the tumor is not in proximity of the nipple/areola and biopsy inside the nipple during surgery is negative. Usually, the breast can be removed through an incision placed around the lower half of the areola . Without getting too much into surgical detail, generally the outcome is aesthetically pleasing. Of course other procedures may be needed at the same time such as a breast lift, padding with soft tissue or by other means. Good luck to you. READ MORE
