Answering All Your Plastic Surgery Questions
Q: Is it common to need abdominal lipo after a tummy tuck?
A: Thanks for sharing your question. I appreciate your concern.
The straight answer is: Lipo could be needed after a tummy tuck if the thickness of the abdominal skin is increased prior to surgery. A tummy tuck only removes the tissue from the front of the abdomen. It does not decrease the thickness of the remaining skin. If there is excess skin on the circumference, an up and down scar may be granted to improve the excess skin.
Finally, make sure that your doctor is aware of your process. She/He should be able to guide you best in your care. Wishing you the best in your care!
Q: What is the recovery process like after a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
A: The recovery process after a BBL involves several stages. Initially, you will experience swelling and bruising, which can last for a few weeks. It’s crucial to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for at least two weeks to ensure the fat cells properly integrate. Sleeping on your stomach or sides is recommended. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, but strenuous activities and exercise should be avoided for about 4-6 weeks.
Q: I'm 54 and worried about the elasticity of skin. How will my skin cope with extra weight and stretching from implants?
A: Thanks for sharing your question. I appreciate your concern.
Skin has the wonderful characteristics of stretching and complying with volume increase. Over time the breast tissue will decrease in volume due to the pressure of the implants over the tissues. This is specially true with the bottom and lateral breast tissue.
Finally, make sure that you have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Wishing you the best in your journey.
Q: Is liposuction a weight loss procedure?
A: No, liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. It is designed to remove localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. The goal is to contour and shape specific areas of the body rather than achieve significant weight loss. Ideal candidates are those who are close to their target weight but have stubborn fat pockets.
