Q:
For breast reduction what determines the breast size I want to be?
For breast reduction what determines the breast size I want to be?
A:
If you are having a cosmetic reduction, you can look at pictures with your plastic surgeon and, together, decide on a size that is good for your body, and that still gives you projection. If you are seeking insurance payment, the minimal amount of tissue to be removed will be determined by them. This amount is determined by many parameters, including your height, weight, medical history, and physical exam.
Q:
Face seborrheic keratosis
I have had this lesion removed by 3 dermatologists and biopsy results came back as seborreic keratosis. It keeps coming back getting worse each time. It scabs and itches and looks awful. Can a plastic surgeon fix this?
A:
Yes. A plastic surgeon can fix this. It may be recurring because part of it is deeper than usual. It may, therefore, require a partial or full excision.
