It’s important to realize that as we get older, changes occur in our bodies. These changes are often related to multiple pregnancies. In many cases, they have developed loss of breast volume and associated breast sag. For these reasons, many of these patients will need breast lifts at the time of their breast augmentation.
Is There An Age Limit for Breast Augmentation?
We frequently see women in their fifties and sixties who request breast augmentation. In the vast majority of these patients, breast augmentation can be performed without any difficulty.

Surgical Drains Following Tummy Tuck Surgery
Drains are frequently used in the postoperative period in abdominoplasty patients to minimize the potential for seroma formation. Drains are usually left in place for 7 to 14 days following surgery. They are usually removed when drainage drops below 25 cc per 24 hours.
The management of surgical drainage varies from patient to patient. Each patient has a unique surgical anatomy and surgical procedures are modified for each individual patient for these reasons.
Simultaneous Mommy Makeover & Hysterectomy
Once a woman makes a decision to undergo a hysterectomy, it often represents the beginning of a new phase in her life. Many of these women hope to reverse the changes associated with pregnancy by undergoing a mommy makeover at the time of their hysterectomy. The mommy makeover often includes cosmetic breast surgery, abdominoplasty, and liposuction with a hysterectomy.
When a hysterectomy is added to a mommy makeover, it adds significantly to the operating room time. This usually results in the procedure being done on an inpatient basis, as opposed to an outpatient basis. It’s important to have good communication between the plastic surgeon and gynecologist so that the procedure is well-choreographed to minimize operating room time.

The Impact of Weight Gain Following Tummy Tuck
Significant weight gain can occasionally occur following tummy tuck surgery. In the vast majority of abdominoplasty patients this is not a problem. In abdominoplasty patients, life-style changes are often an important part of their recovery. They tend to watch their diet and exercise more frequently. Unfortunately, when weight gain following abdominoplasty occurs, the impact upon the procedure can be significant. Many of the original problems such as loose, saggy skin, weakened muscles, and stretch marks can be recreated.

Breast Implants: Silicone vs. Saline
The type of breast implant used is one of the most important decisions facing patients undergoing breast augmentation. Silicone and saline implants both offer significant advantages for breast augmentation and are both associated with high satisfaction rates.
Although it’s hard to tell the difference between saline and silicone when looking at patients, there is a significant difference in how they feel. This difference is especially noticeable in women who have minimal amounts of breast tissue.
Silicone implants offer several advantages over saline implants. The most important advantage is how they feel. There is no doubt that they feel more natural than saline implants especially when there is minimal breast tissue present. In addition, silicone implants are less likely to cause rippling than saline implants.

Rhinoplasty Recovery
Recovery following rhinoplasty for most patients is less difficult than they expect. In the immediate post-operative period, they can anticipate pain, swelling, bruising, and congestion associated with difficulty breathing through the nose. Pain following rhinoplasty is easily controlled with narcotic pain medications in the first 48 hours. After 48 hours, most patients are switched to double strength Tylenol.Patients typically have bruising and swelling following rhinoplasty and this is more noticeable if the nasal bones are fractured. This typically lasts one to two weeks following surgery. The swelling and bruising obviously affects the patient’s appearance postoperatively. It also leads to swelling of the internal nasal structures, which leads to congestion and difficulty breathing through nose.
