Is it safe to have a tummy tuck and lipo done at the same time. If so, is it safe to go home the same day of the surgery and not stay overnight in the hospital?
A:
The safety of each procedure depends on the patient's medical condition, length of the surgery and the surgeon's skills. You need to discuss your concerns about safety with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. If you are a good candidate, lipo and tummy tuck can be done as an out patient procedure.

I have one breast that is much more larger than the other. Is it possible to have a Breast Reduction where only one breast is reduced and the other breast is left totally alone without any surgery to it?
A:
If you are happy with the shape and size of the smaller breast, I would recommend lift and reduction on the larger breast. This will help at the beginning, but your breasts will age differently. As long as you are aware and understand that you may need to get revision surgery later, that be fine.
The other option is to get liposuction to reduce the size, if your breast shape and nipple position are not very different from each other.

I had saline implants done in July, 2007 with 275 cc in the left breast and 285 cc in the right. I thought this would take me from an A cup to a C cup, but unfortunately I am just a B. Will I presently be able to have more saline injected into the same implants for larger cups?
A:
Unfortunately you will need new implants. Each implant has a specific volume guide line and the size you wish will need at least 75 cc more. Please consult with your board certified plastic surgeon for further evaluation.
