Q:

I've got a petite frame and I'm 16...my boobs put a strain on me

I can't do sports properly because of my boobs, they started growing at an early age when I was 8 turning 9....I don't have much fat on my body and I don't want to have back problems later on, so I want smaller boobs so it's in proportion with my body.

A:

Phillia,

I am sorry that you are experiencing issues with your breasts. If possible, you should wait to have the surgery until you have reached physical maturity to ensure the best possible result and to reduce the potential for needing revisions in the future. Prior to the surgery, your surgeon will also need to ensure your emotional and intellectual maturity to verify that you have the capacity to make an informed decision.  For younger patients, family and friend support is important as well.

Q:

How much Artefill should be injected in nose?

I have done several injections of Artefill on my nose, but I am still not completely satisfied with the results. The doctor who has done this procedure has told me that its looks completely fine and that this is the best result he can make out of it. What else can I do? Thank you very much for your help!

A:

Thank you for your question. Obviously, without in person exam and consultation, I am limited in my ability to guide you properly.

Nonsurgical rhinoplasty has its limitations. If your surgeon believes that you can not achieve further improvement, then you will unlikely to receive significant improvement from dermal fillers in the future. You may need to consider a surgical option or accept the improvement that you have received to date.

To explore your options, consult in person 3 - 4 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons.

A:

Manal,

Thank you for your question. I would concur with Dr. Culbertson that patients who are at or close to their target weight have a lower rate of complications, greater satisfaction with the results, and a lower probability of revisions. Regarding your question of costs, surgical fees vary widely based on geographic location, arrangements that a surgeon has with the surgical facility and anesthesiologist, and the expertise of the surgeon. Consult with 3 - 4 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons to explore your options upon reaching your target weight.
