Can liposuction work for diabetic patients?
Liposuction can be done in a diabetic. However, your blood sugars should be under control, because that can influence wound healing. Liposuction is not good for weight reduction. READ MORE
Liposuction can be done in a diabetic. However, your blood sugars should be under control, because that can influence wound healing. Liposuction is not good for weight reduction. It is better for pinchable fat that won't go away with diet or exercise. Visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for a consultation and see what they think.
Good luck!

Is a cosmetic surgery the same as a plastic surgery?
Great question! And one of my favorite ones to answer.

Great question! And one of my favorite ones to answer.
These days, many different people are saying they are plastic or cosmetic surgeons. Only board-certified plastic surgeons are plastic surgeons. A plastic surgeon may decide to do more aesthetic or cosmetic procedures. But, we are trained to operate all over the body for reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. Cosmetic surgeons typically have an MD, but did not do the rigorous training required to be a plastic surgeon and did not take and are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. If they are members of ASPS or ASAPS, then they are plastic surgeons.

Thanks for the great question. There are several ways to treat burn scars. It depends on the severity of the burn scar and the texture/coloring of your skin.

After cleft palate surgery will my daughter be able to speak well?

Thanks for writing.
I am assuming your daughter is part of a multidisciplinary cleft palate team. As you know, she is getting her cleft palate repaired relatively late in age. Repairing the anatomy of the cleft palate will definitely help with nasal air leakage with speech and food coming through the nose. She should continue with her intense speech therapy postop as prescribed by your craniofacial surgeon. All of those together should make your daughter's speech better.
Best of luck, hope that helps.

Something can be done about your hip shape if the shape is due to fat rather than bony structure. Your pelvic bones cant be broken and reshaped. However, if there is excess fat, we can reshape with surgical (liposuction) and non-surgical techniques (Coolsculpting). Your first step is a consultation with a board-certified Plastic Surgeon.

Mom died of breast cancer- need feedback on nipple sparing masectomy

This is a great question. There are a couple of issues that come up here.
Have you been tested for BRCA? I would start with that. If you want to
pursue bilateral mastectomies after doing that, I would suggest a consult
with myself and the breast surgeon I work with.
We would determine whether nipple-sparing would work for you. Since you
already have implants, immediate reconstruction without expanders is a
distinct possibility.
I am happy to see you for a consult to help get the process started.
