First_DPSI_Overview

Here’s a video that I’m quite proud of including the best plastic surgeons in Dallas. To my view this group has changed and hopefully improved more aspects in my field that any other group in the world. This characteristic of having so many partners that are world leaders with such a pedigree is something that I had to affiliate myself with. It is with great pride that I tell anyone who will listen that I am a partner of this practice. Enjoy the video.

Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute

It is a great honor for me to be a Partner of the greatest practice in the world, the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute. This group of Plastic Surgeons has been in Dallas for years. The group has developed a great reputation over the years as each partner has developed into specialists of all forms within plastic surgery. Breast Augmentation specialists with no incisions on the breast, craniofacial specialists, Facelift specialists, endoscopic facelifts, mission trips offering plastic surgery, and many, many other areas.
My particular specialty is in breast surgery. Over the years, I have become quite proficient at lifting the breast, tightening it, breast augmentation, breast reduction, various types of breast implants, and can even recreate the breast out of the abdomen, among other tissues. From my experience, I’ve come to understand the breast form very clearly and I am able to recreate it when it’s down, small, or even absent.
Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute is a group of individuals who have excelled and specialized within areas of Plastic Surgery. I’ve become involved in the directorship of Dallas Day Surgery Center which is our state of the art surgery center on the top floor of our building. It is by far the most advanced, state of the art cosmetic surgery center I’ve ever been a part of, naturally I’m glad to be involved in it’s leadership.
There are ten of us in this practice and we all office together at the Pyramid Building which is located across the street, to the North, of Dallas’ NorthPark Center. We chose this location just over a year ago to provide easy access to our patients from all over. I personally see a large population of patients from the Dallas – Fort Worth Metroplex, Plano-Allen-Frisco, HEB, Mesquite, Terrell, Monterrey Mexico, Ennis, Houston, College Station and many other surrounding areas.
Dallas Day Surgery Center is a fully accredited surgery center (accredited by AAAASF and Medicare Certified) conveniently located in the same office building on the top floor. Dallas Day Surgery Center was the focus of an article published in the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery for its exemplary record of safety and efficacy in an outpatient cosmetic surgery center. We are soon to accept many different types of insurance at the facility, which will maximize the services we can provide. Our skin care center is world class as well, our open house is coming up soon (next week on Thursday) and we have a 20% off deal on all of our products. If you are reading this, you’re invited to come get to know us a little better. I hope to see you there.

Dallas Plastic Surgeon – Q & A

Ask Doctor Meade – Before and After Photos: Are they a good representation?

Great question. I thought about this when I was putting my photo album together so I included best and not so best results.

Don’t worry, there’s no deception to this. It’s like everything else, we’re just showing our best work. What you need to keep in mind is that is is helpful because you can see what your plastic surgeon has done before and see his comments about the photos. He may say, “look how beautiful this result is” and you think it looks like terrible. That’s an important evaluation to consider.

The other point to those photos along the same line is that you have to have something to strive for. If the best aren’t so hot, then that’s an answer as well.

Probably more importantly that all of that is that if you don’t look like any of those photos then ask if he has someone with your body frame. Although that doesn’t guarantee anything, it may help you feel a little more comfortable with where things are headed.

Dallas Cosmetic Surgery – Q & A

Ask Doctor Meade – More youthful breasts – how can I achieve them through Breast Implants?

This is an interesting question since you have lost some weight in the breast causing it to sag but it’s still a C. Unfortunately, no matter how many people blog about this subject we could all be talking about a different thing. Your board certified plastic surgeon must evaluate you and see what his thoughts are on the lift with an implant.

Many times a lift will achieve the more youthful breast that you seek. It will not give you any change in your upper pole fullness though. The breast lift repositions the nipple and areolar complex and tightens the breast envelope so that it’s once again somewhat more perky. I typically don’t do breast augmentations on women with C cup breasts. It may be necessary for upper pole fullness but if your breasts are already sagging with their own weight and an implant is put in there, the result is fairly predictable. Sutures can tighten the breast for a nice lift at one stage and then the implant can be placed once the wounds have healed and the tissues are strong enought to tolerate an implant.

This is a controversial topic because many will simply put the implant in under your breast tissue then perform a lift of the skin and areola of your breast. Again, the only way to know for sure will be to consult with your plastic surgeon. Hopefully these concepts help you ask him more direct questions on his logic for the choices that you’re considering.

Dallas Plastic Surgery – Q & A

Ask Doctor Meade – How long should I take off work for a Tummy Tuck?

10 days should be fine.

As everything, there’s a spectum of possibilities in the recovery for this surgery. There are many varying techniques in performing a full abdominoplasty that your ABPS Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will be familiar with. If you discuss return to work at this deadline, I believe that it will in fact help your recovery since you are so motivated to get out of bed and mover around. A technique of internal suturing can help get your drains out sooner than usual (typically a week).

Even if you go back to work with your drains, depending on what you do at your work, it is achieveable. Your recovery will depend greatly on your anatomy, your stamina, tolerance and the actual operation performed. The plan you’ve made thus far is reasonable.

Dallas Plastic Surgeon – Q & A

Are there increased plastic surgery risks involved if I smoke?

As others have answered, smoking comes hand in hand with problems.

You shouldn’t be afraid of surgery .. it’s the cancer stick that you should fear. There’s no better feeling for me to nail it on a breast lift in a patient that has quit. Many use this as motivation so kick it and get going!

Good news and bad news …

-the good news is that this is a great opportunity to quit smoking.

-the bad news is that if you don’t quit, not only should you not get this surgery but you are at risk of developing lung cancer, emphysema, cardiovascular disease, etcetera. In other words, if you get this breast lift that means you quit .. so plastic surgery saved your life.

I’ve always been very interested in how many plastic surgeons out there do mastopexy on patients that smoke when polled at our national meetings. All I can say is that in the best interest of my patients (and in the interest of self preservation) I don’t do this operation on smokers – especially with an implant. It’s not like other surgeries where an incision is made, something is fixed up inside then it is closed (in case you had this and then healed up properly). In a breast lift, all of those tissues that you’ve seen slowly droop are separated and rearranged so that they’re perky and tight once again. You need normal blood supply for this to heal and leave tiny lines behind.

This is your wake up call .. answer it!

Dallas Cosmetic Surgeon – Q & A

Ask Doctor Meade – Losing weight before Liposuction?

Yes, you can have liposuction without the perfect end result. People do it every single day. In fact, most candidates that get liposuction aren’t the ideal body weight. The farther off that you are though, probably the less content you’ll be in the long term. At first you’ll look great, the improvement could be excellent but if you don’t change your habits (lifestyle, diet, exercise..) then you may feel that it all just “came back somewhere else”. Remember that it’s not a weight loss mechanism, it’s a contouring tool. It works best when you’re completely on board with a lifestyle change.

Dallas Plastic Surgeon – Q & A

Ask Doctor Meade – Can I piggy back liposuction on my hernia repair surgery?

In general, liposuction for excess weight is a bad idea. If you need to lose weight because of inactivity (as you said) then after your hernia repair you should try to piggy back off of the recovery period and try to become more active. Lipo is not a solution for being sedentary and it would complicate the wound healing process since it would cause fluid to collect in the area where the fat was taken. Go step by step, I’m sure your plastic surgeon would recommend the same.

Dallas Plastic Surgery – Q & A

I’m very tall and weigh about 175 pounds – my surgeon recommended D size, high profile Breast Implants – are these too big for me?

It’s all a matter of your dimensions. You’re very tall and can carry larger implants but the profile is not what is going to make them look natural, it’s the size. This implant will take you into the D cup range and although you may be looking for that, it probably will not look as natural on your body as you’d like in the long run.

It’s easier to comment on than it is to see you in person and measure your dimensions, so hopefully you’ve been to a board certified plastic surgeon by the ABPS. He should be very familiar with this so be sure and clarify your priorities for the outcome of this surgery. It’s coming down to a choice between natural results or very large breasts.
