Many women do not want a breast lift because of the vertical scars associated with the traditional techniques. For that reason, an alternative was developed called The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if...

He result looks quite reasonable. However, the appearance is that of excess fat in the lower abdomen rather than muscle bulge or “scar tissue.”. A physical exam of the area would determine this, of course.

It appears that liposuction loan would suffice, but a pinched test would be necessary.

I tried to avoid descriptive terms like pear or heart when describing peoples body shapes or potential outcomes from procedures.
I generally see the female figure as an S curve.
This curve usually starts at about the armpit level and goes down to just outside the knee.
In your case, the main issue is fullness in the love handles with lack of volume in the hip dip area.
The goal of the procedure should be to reverse those volume problem areas, which should convert your body to having a...

Normally there's what's called a break point of the columella as it approaches the tip of the nose. You have a sharply defined tip with no break point and a very narrow tip. This can be repaired using a graft to to widen and round the tip.

In my opinion, it’s not ideal to combine a full Mommy Makeover (tummy tuck, breast lift/augmentation, and 360 liposuction) with a BBL—even a “skinny” one—in the same operation. Here’s why:
Surgical time and safety: Combining all these procedures significantly lengthens operative time, which increases anesthesia and complication risks. A fatigued surgical team can also impact precision and outcomes.
Recovery conflict: After a Mommy Makeover, you’ll need to rest on your back; after a BBL, ...

Yes, you should be concerned about the presence of milk 9 days pre-op; the milk ducts can increase the risk of post-surgical infection because they remain open and allow bacteria to enter. For optimal safety, wait at least 3-6 months after you have completed breastfeeding for your milk ducts to close and dry up before undergoing breast reduction surgery

Your question is very interesting but since you did not post photos best to do a virtual consultation. I also do oversized breast implants and would recommend the virtual consultation affect fee to arrange with the internal bra as required $10,000-$18,000. Again, virtual consult is needed.

Based on only two post photos, I recommend a virtual consultation for better understanding your body type hard to predict if you will have irregular, wrinkle, dented skin following liposuction I might recommend combination of a Lipo 360 with abdominal J plasma or Endo laser in addition to the BBL. Again, best of virtual concert with expect fees to range from $6000-$10,000.

You may benefit from an in-person examination with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can demonstrate what might be achieved with each procedure.

Thank you for your question. Fat transfer can be done during your deep plane facelift or later. It does not create more pain, but you can have swelling for a longer time. Fat transfer later, after you are healed can be done under local anesthesia, and there's no discomfort. The donor site might be sore for a few days.
