Your initial consultation is your opportunity to discuss your concerns and ask questions about the treatments that may help you reach your goals. It gives your plastic surgeon an opportunity to provide you with honest answers and useful information that can help you decide if a procedure is right for your needs.
During each consultation, plastic surgeons are presented with a choice: be honest and upfront with the patient or tell the patient what they want to hear. These are not always mutually exclusive. In fact, many times they are the same thing. It is, however, the ethical duty of the surgeon to choose honesty in every...

Breast reduction surgery focuses on the removal of excessive breast tissue and skin, with the goal of producing a better contoured and more complimentary appearance to the entire upper body. In the process, breast reduction surgery can relieve the pain that overly heavy breasts may cause to the neck, back, and shoulders.

Newer options, such as form-stable implants, may retain their shape and feel even longer, but no breast implant is meant to last forever.
Signs Your Breast Implants Need to be ReplacedIf you have saline breast implants, one of the biggest signs indicating a need for replacement is deflation. Silicone implants do not lose volume as rapidly as saline when ruptured. Slow leaks may need to be detected through...

Liposuction is permanent. Once removed, fat cells do not “grow back.” You can, however, gain bulky and form-obscuring weight after liposuction if you don’t take steps to maintain your results.
Does Liposuction Remove Fat?The sole purpose of liposuction is the removal of fat. Newer liposuction techniques, such as ultrasonic liposuction and laser-guided options, may encourage the skin to tighten as well, though the primary goal of liposuction is the elimination of diet-and-exercise-resistant fat accumulations.

The Mayo Clinic reports that around 20% of women have their breast implants removed within 10 years, though implants are designed to last for up to 20.
