Thank you for your question and sharing your concern. Endoscopic brow lift using the endotine device is a very powerful procedure and the endotines can dissolve at different rates from side to side. It is best to have regular follow up visits with your surgeon to monitor the area and develop a observation and treatment plan that is individualized to your specific recovery. Best wishes on a great result!

Thank you for your question - this comes up all the time during consultations. The decision making process for placing an implant in the subglandular versus the submuscular position has many variables. The biggest consideration is having enough tissue thickness to give the natural look that you are trying to achieve. If your tissue is thick enough, a subglandular pocket can be considered. If you are thinner, placing the implant below the muscle will help smooth the upper border of the implant and give a very pleasing appearance. It is always best to partner with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area who has experience in aesthetic breast surgery and develop a surgical plan that is individualized to your specific body type and needs. Best wishes on a great result!

Thank you for your question and interest in breast augmentation surgery. Many women in physically demanding professions have had breast augmentation surgery and enjoy the look and confidence that comes from breast enhancement. Being an ironworker does not mean you can't have implants. It is always best to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area and carefully plan your recovery and return to vigorous physical activity. Best wishes on a great result!

Thank you for this question - there are several things to consider as a teenager with large breasts. Are they affecting your ability to exercise or carry out your usual daily activities? If so you may be a candidate for breast reduction surgery. In general, it is best to wait until women have reached full breast maturity in their early twenties before undertaking a reduction surgery. There are instances, however, where the symptoms from large breasts outweigh the age considerations. The physical and emotional maturity of the patient, the ability to take time off from school to recover from surgery, and the risk of further breast enlargement after surgery are all things to take into account. I would recommend a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area who can meet with you and and discuss the options and timing. It is very important to remember that if you have a breast reduction before your breasts are done growing that a second surgery may be required for a second reduction. Reduction surgery can have implications on breastfeeding so it is critical to partner with an experienced surgeon in your area to develop a plan that is individualized to your specific needs.
