Implant exchange from 500cc to 375cc

Breast Implant Revision

Member Response:

Good day and thank you for your question. It will all depend on how much excess skin you have after the exchange to smaller implants. The more skin that remains will require more incisions to remove it. You could wait for the skin to shrink, but it may leave you with breast sagging. Best to ask your board certified plastic surgeon about all the options.

Could lip surgery bring my lips closer to the edited photo?

Lip Augmentation/Enhancement

Member Response:

Good day. A lip lift with incisions placed under the nose could achieve this desired effect but there are other options as well including lip fillers. Best to ask a board certified plastic surgeon with specialization in the face and lips.

Surgeon Type

Chin Surgery

Member Response:

Good morning. Both specialties handle this sort of surgery and consequences from it. It would be best to query potential surgeons and ask them specifically if they have treated this issue. If you are in the New York City area, we would be happy to see you. I am trained in both these specialties... Plastic Surgery and Oral-Maxillofacial Surgery. You may also see another surgeon with this training. Again, experience is paramount.

Jaw surgery/chin implant?

Chin Surgery

Member Response:

Good morning and thank you for your question. You may very well be a candidate for orthognathic surgery (jaw alignment surgery). Without seeing you personally, and examining you and your x-rays, it is difficult to say what is required. This surgery requires the expertise of an oral-maxillofacial surgeon and orthodontist as well. I would recommend seeing this specialist or if you are in the New York area we are happy to see you too since I am also trained in oral-maxillofacial surgery. Sincerely, Douglas M. Monasebian, MD, DMD, FACS
