A useful consultation answers a short list of questions. The photos and the price come after those, not instead of them.

Questions worth asking

  • Who performs the surgery, and will that person see you before the day?
  • Where is the operation done, and who provides the anesthesia?
  • What does the written quote include, and what ...

Most chests are uneven. One breast sits a little higher, or one is a bit fuller. Surgery is worth discussing when the difference shows in clothes or bothers you enough that you dress around it.

What implants can change

Different implant sizes can add more volume on the smaller side. That narrows the gap. It ...

Which Breast Implant is Best for Me?

Which Breast Implant is Best for Me?


There is no single best implant. Saline and silicone gel both add volume. The choice is about feel, the incision, and how you will follow the implant over time.

Saline and silicone

Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water after they are placed, so the incision can be smaller. If the shell leaks, the ...

Preparation for a Brazilian butt lift is mostly logistics. The surgery moves your own fat. The days around it depend on having a ride, a place to recover, and a plan for not sitting on the grafted area.

Before the day

What to watch for

Call the office about a change you did not expect: one breast suddenly larger, new pain, a new lump, redness, or a shape that shifts. A saline leak usually shows as a loss of volume. A ...

A crooked nose is not one problem. The bend can be in the bone, in the cartilage, or in both, and it is often left over from an injury you barely remember.

What surgery can change

Rhinoplasty can straighten the bridge and the tip so the nose sits closer to the midline of the face. ...

People ask whether anyone will be able to tell. The honest answer is that a result looks operated-on when the implant does not fit the breast, not because implants are always obvious.

What makes a result easy to see

An implant wider than the breast base sticks out toward the arm. An implant that sits ...

Cup size is a poor way to order an implant. Bands and brands do not match, and two people in the same bra can have very different chests. The visit is where the size gets decided.

The measurements that matter

The surgeon measures the width of the breast base. That width sets the largest implant ...

The nose you see in the first weeks after rhinoplasty is swollen. It is not the result. Most of the early limits are about protecting the nose while that swelling comes down.

The early period

Congestion is common, because you cannot blow the nose the way you normally would. A splint on the outside is ...
