  • Immediately after operation:
    • You will be mandated to wear a medical-grade garment every day for 4 to 8 weeks to reduce swelling. Depending on the invasiveness of your Tummy tuck surgery, you might have to wear a medical-grade compression garment or regular Spanx garment for 6 weeks or longer.
    • In this time you can also wear a loose dress, sweatpants, or a baggy shirt.
  • Six to Eight Weeks Post-Op: 
    • Once your doctor suggests that you no longer need to wear compression garments, you will have to wear comfortable clothing for the next few weeks. Easy to wear and remove clothes that are soft on touch. Such as yoga pants, sweatpants, a zip-up sweater, drawstring pants, button up top, or skirts.
    • you may go down by a size or two after fully recovering from tummy tuck surgery and may find that your previous clothes don't fit.

 

If you have any doubts, communicate with your surgeon first and foremost.

Can i get a nose job at 14?

Female | 14

It is usually not recommended to get nose job at 14. It is advisable to wait until you have got the physical maturity. Thus, most surgeons recommend having a rhinoplasty in your late teens or early 20s. But still I advise consulting a reputed plastic surgeon in person for proper evaluation and assessment of your individual condition.

I have armpit fat on both sides so what to do about it

Female | 26

Our bodies store­ extra energy in fat pocke­ts. Armpit fat is normal. More body fat means more fat e­verywhere, including armpits. Bodie­s differ; that's okay. Eating well, and exe­rcising regularly can reduce ove­rall fat, and promote health.

My breast is very small ... How can I get bigger

Female | 23

Uneven size of breasts is quite a common problem. But, if you think yours are too small, it is good to know that size has nothing to do with your health condition. The short breasts can be due to inherited characteristics and also hormonal fluctuations.

Greetings sir my daughter is four years old she was some what black with your suggestion I want her for skin whitening treatment which one is permanent for her chemical peel or Laser treatment please suggest me sir

Female | 4

Neither of these treatments is recommended for children under the age of 18. Chemical peels and laser treatments are not permanent skin whitening treatments. These treatments can help to reduce the appearance of dark spots, but they will not permanently lighten the skin.

Tip of nose still swollen 1 year after rhinoplasty, what to do?

Female | 28

Experiencing some residual swelling at the tip of the nose one year after rhinoplasty can be normal in certain cases. While the majority of swelling typically subsides within the first few months following the procedure, it's not uncommon for minor swelling to persist, particularly in the tip area, for a longer period of time.

Several factors can contribute to the persistence of swelling at the tip of the nose after one year such as Skin thickness, Surgical technique used, etc. If you're experiencing persistent swelling at the tip of your nose one year after rhinoplasty, it's recommended to consult with your surgeon for an evaluation. They will be able to assess your condition, determine the cause of the swelling, and provide appropriate guidance. In the meantime, here are a few things you can consider:

  1. Follow-up appointment: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your surgeon to discuss your concerns and have a thorough examination. They will be able to determine if the swelling is a normal part of the healing process or if it requires further intervention.
  2. Be patient: Swelling after rhinoplasty can take a significant amount of time to completely resolve. It's not uncommon for residual swelling to persist for up to a year or even longer in some cases. Allow your body ample time to heal, as the final results of rhinoplasty can take several months to become fully apparent.
  3. Avoid trauma: Take care to protect your nose from any trauma or injury during the healing process. Even minor accidents can cause additional swelling or affect the final outcome of your rhinoplasty.
  4. Follow post-operative instructions: Ensure that you are following all post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon. This may include specific care for managing swelling, such as avoiding strenuous activities, refraining from excessive sun exposure, and avoiding certain medications that can increase swelling.
  5. Massage: Your surgeon may recommend gentle massage techniques to help reduce swelling at the tip of the nose. However, it's crucial to follow their specific instructions, as improper techniques or excessive force can have adverse effects.
  6. Consider corticosteroid injections: In some cases, your surgeon may recommend corticosteroid injections to help reduce persistent swelling. These injections can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.

Remember, the advice provided here is general, and it's important to consult with your surgeon for personalized guidance based on your unique situation.

I have a fatty sack just below my neck back it’s big and it makes me insecure and uncomfortable. Wat can be done to it?

Female | 26

Such growths are generally harmless, but they can cause discomfort or self-consciousness. The most common approach to manage this is surgical removal, especially if it's large or bothersome. Other options can include liposuction in certain cases. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional to discuss your symptoms and explore appropriate treatment options tailored to your needs. They will provide you with reassurance and a plan to improve your comfort and confidence. Taking this step can be empowering!
