To be sure, “tummy tucks” are a challenging first week recovery. However, the results are enduring and it is one of the rare “one and done” procedures we do. They continue to look great decades later! The scars take years to fade but the trade is well worth it. BTW, traditional techniques here only. No muscle “etching”.

A deep plane facelift, meaning extensive SMAS mobilization with release of facial ligaments, was done here in conjunction with upper and lower eyelid surgery. The intent is to always produce a refreshed look devoid of surgical stigmata. The chin implant provides a subtle enhancement beyond restoration alone. Our patient, kind enough to let us share these images, is thrilled, and so are we!

Breast augmentation is conceptually simple but there are nuances that must be considered in order to get the best results. Chest wall “foundation” issues are not common but sometimes are quite subtle and easy to miss. There are other skeletal issues like scoliosis that can also be impactful by making the breast position look uneven if not taken into account.

For the surgeons: The description of implant characteristics was a bit murky in the video. To clarify, having the same implant diameter was important but at the same time more projection on the low side was needed. A Mentor Moderate 225 implant was selected for the “high” side and a 300 cc Moderate-Plus implant for the “low” side was chosen. Both have the same diameter. Saline was used so that the volumes could be fine tuned for closest symmetry (240 cc right, 350 cc left). Finally, a periareolar incision was chosen because precise siting of an inframammary incision beforehand would have been problematic.

Arm lifts, called brachioplasty, is often viewed more as a general surgery procedure by surgeons rather than a finesse plastic surgery procedure. While it is indeed technically crude compared to a rhinoplasty, for example, there is nevertheless a demand for precision. Setting the final scar position requires precise planning and execution. When the incision is positioned on the very back corner of the arm, like shown in this case, it is not visible from the front or the back, only when the arms are rarely extended above the head. While massive weight loss patients are generally happy and not concerned about the scar, precise placement makes a big difference that is always appreciated . Older, thin women with mostly wrinkled skin pay more attention to scar location and quality . That said, perfection should be pursued for both groups.
