I see no reason to replace this pursestring suture after this period of time. Healing and maturation of the tissue is now complete and it is highly unlikely that your areola will expand. In any case, should you notice a gradual increase of areolar size over time, a minor revision could be easily performed. Why go through additional surgery, if it is probably not necessary?   « less

It is too early to tell if the asymmetry you notice is merely a result of swelling or if the amount fat injected is the problem. Give it several more weeks before evaluating the result, particular in light of the numbers of areas you had treated.   « less

Jose, At four to five weeks, scarring in any surgery it at its maximum. Fullness of the your lower abdomen after drainage of a persistent seroma would account for the fullness. Time should allow this to settle down, particularly and it will be helped if you wear a compression garment over the area. If the area remains after six months or more, then minor liposuction to the area will help.   « less

This is a great way to perform a limited breast reduction on older patients with fatty breasts. The results of this procedure on younger patients with fibrous breast tissue is often very limited.   « less

This is a lot of surgery, but it can be done at one time, particularly if the operative time can be kept at a reasonable level. Proper precaution should be taken by your surgeons to avoid the serious complication of blood clots in your leg or pelvic veins that can lead to pulmonary embolism. Discuss this with your surgeons to make sure they are comfortable with the extent of surgery you are asking for.   « less

A full tummy tuck will remove a substantial amount of lower abdominal skin and fat and is often performed with liposuction. Clearly there will ultimately be some weight loss after all swelling has subsided and full healing has occurred. The amount of weight lost will be dependent on your current size and the volume of tissue that is removed. However, the procedure is designed to affect your contour and appearance, rather that the dial on your weight scale.   « less

I will answer this bluntly - First, I unaware of any insurance that will cover liposuction for cosmetic purposes. Second, if an insurance carrier did, by some miracle, cover liposuction, I doubt that you could find a competent surgeon to peform the procedure because of the scant reinbursement allowances available for covered procedures.   « less

This is nonsense. There should be no problem with re-piercing.

Calf liposuction could be accomplished, but actual reduction of the calf (or gastocnemius muscle) is not done. It may not be possible to achieve the results you desire.   « less

Lizzy, A breast lift with an augmentation is a common procedure. A lift is basically accomplished by removing excess skin so as to tighten the skin "envelope" and lift the breast. Adding an implant will take out some of the skin slack and reduce the amount of skin resection needed for the lift. The scar pattern that is used for the lift will then depend on the degree is sag you current have. Sometimes this can be done so that the only scar you have is a circlular one around the nipple areola. For more severe sagging, an anchor type scar is necessary to get the best shape.   « less
