Labiplasti

Aesthetic Genital Plastic Surgery

Member Response:

Hi, I have done many labioplasty cases and it is definitely not mentioned in most of my ads. But like the previous surgeons said, most of us do perform it and it does make sense to find a board certified surgeon to do it, for quality reasons. Have a good day :-)

Nipples/areola

Breast Augmentation

Member Response:

Hi, thank you for the mail. As far as the sensation of nipples and areola is concerned, you don't need to worry about it because all of my patients are able to retain their sensation after nipple reduction or areola reduction. And the number of cases is well over 200. Good luck with your procedure! Cheers!

Tattoo removal Part 2

Tattoo Removal

Member Response:

Hi, thank you for your question. After 13 times of lasering and no effect, I would say that its likely that your tattoo artist used a very stubborn ink. Most of the black inks in this country respond well to nano or pico lasers, if the ink were legit..... Try to move up to a more powerful pico laser in your community and, if it still doesn't work, look at a broader area from where you reside...

Body Contouring

Member Response:

It is definitely too soon to judge the result. Just wait. And if approved by your doctor, try to say away from the corsett for a few weeks. You will be surprised at the improvement over time.... Be patient for now...keep in touch with your doctor...
