The wound at the T junction, after breast reconstruction, has not healed now for over 12 weeks post op. After itbwas opened, it start showing hypergranulation. The nurse used silver dressing and I hope it will be ok.
Yes, it will be the nurse who gets you through this. Silver nitrate can be used to treat overgranulation. Good luck with everything.

What’s the doctors name in South America ?

Sorry about that. Thanks for trying though.
My son has a soft lump on his upper chest.. from birth it was just a pore with a hair which i accidentally pulled out.. then it became a pimple like lump... As he grows, it slowly grow as well... Now he is already 16 years old and the lump size is like a half golf ball.. and it looks inflamed... What shoul i do? He wanted it to be removed .
It's not painful, and soft like there's fluid inside.. obviously inflamed like you want to poke it out bursting..
@@Qmlns_ui sounds like a cyst, but always best to get it looked at. If it isna cyst, then he can have it removed although it will leave a scar.
What if it’s only one sided ? And due to a hematoma that was removed a week post op ?
It’s been 10 years
It’s UBM
@@N0N4M30 yes a haematoma can increase the risk of contracture. It it is only one sided then you may only need to have a capsulectomy on one side. Depending on how long your implants have been in, you could have a discussion about what happens to the other side. You may want to have the other implant changed but may not need a capsulectomy, at least not a total one.
You had nice skin. Then you spent money, endured pain to get a tattoo. Then endured more pain and expense to remove the tattoo. Now you are permanently scared. Why are young women these says so incredibly stupid. Did your mothers abd grandmothers engage in such stupidity? No. Millienials, the dumbest generation ever.
Hi. I have hard bump on my shoulder. First it was small but now it’s growing and also some liquid and blood is coming from it. And it is painful also. Is it cyst?
it sounds a bit unusual that blood is coming from it. It is also unusual that it is painful, so it would be worth seeing your doctor for an opinion.
@@TheStaianoClinic thanks for the reply.
Thank you for sharing. Does a plastic surgeon use special techniques to minimize scarring? I believe that a surgical excision can heal better than a circular punch biopsy.
Hi Martin, we spend a lot of time in training learning to plan our incisions and minimising tissue trauma when closing the skin. A circular punch may leave small bumps compared to an elliptical incision when closed but will leave a smaller scar, so both are valid and hard to say if one is better.
@@TheStaianoClinic Thank you for your reply and clarification.
Have one on my rib cage are Had to have come from trauma to the area. I've never been under a knife, broke a bone or had a stitch. So yeah freaked out to the max! Scared of being cut. Scared of anaesthesia and sharp incisions 😢😢
if it is a cyst or lipoma, then it does not need to be removed, so you may be able to leave it.
@@TheStaianoClinic recently enlarging Which is why I'm thinking the worse I thankfully have 0 symptoms Outside of my anxiety
@Lord_Don the first thing is to get it looked at to make sure it is nothing sinister. Cysts can get bigger and smaller and they can get infected but they do not have to be removed, it is just that they can be a nuisance.
@@TheStaianoClinicI’m going to go in and have someone check it out tomorrow Can you tell me how soft or hard should one be? Mines feels like a firm rubber like an ab muscle. With my luck it’s a rare Liposarcoma😢
@@Lord_Don a lipoma is usually relatively soft as it is made up of fat, but they can be deep, so it may be hard to tell the consistency. A cyst feels firmer and is usually just under the skin. Good luck.
In canada the next available appointment is four weeks
it will usually depend on what your symptoms are, so if you have worrying symptoms, then I would hope that they could expedite this. You cannot leave a suspected melanoma for 4 weeks, it should be treated urgently.
@@TheStaianoClinic no choice in communist canada 🇨🇦
What if a r teardrop shaped implant has rotated one sided ?can you touch it uo only one sided? And how to go on about it if the patient is super skinny and the implant is placed UBM It’s a nightmare
Yes , it is difficult when teardrop implants rotate. I feel for you and would advise that you work closely with your surgeon and good luck.

I have lump in my back i think its beside my spine. Its been there for 35yrs not growing and dont hurt but its hard, not moving and hurt when you press it. Is there i have to worry about?
You check the dictor?
@@rakshipraneeth6101yes,he said its a lipoma and its a benign cyst.
you really should see your doctor as you would need to be examined and may possibly need a scan to see what the lump is.
My drains were on my hips. When the doctor removed one drain, they said I still couldn’t sleep on that side. I have 125 ml of fluid draining still from the remaining drain. I suspect I have 8 lbs of selling based on my pre op weight and post op weight and how much the doctor removed from me in fat and skin.
we all have our own protocols, so it is best to do what your surgeon recommends rather than listening to me.
Doctor i have a flat mole on right side of my face .I used garlic to remove it but there is no use.can you please tell me the way to remove it
you should see a doctor and have it removed professionally. You should not try to remove it at home.
Do you always have to have the capsule removed surgically post seroma? Ive had a tt, mr, lipo to my back, flanks and a small amount to the abdomen (I also had a BL with fat transfer which healed very well). Unfortunately I developed a very large seroma on my abdomen (right side) which made my tummy and scar bulge out on that side, I also have some stretch marks that are bulging/inflamed on that side 😕 the left side is healing so nicely though! I have been to the ED 4-5 times with it now, currently I am 10 weeks and 3 days PO. First time the seroma drained itself through my belly button (700-800mls) in the hospital as they were dressing it, it was like a tap was suddenly turned on! Second time it was aspirated (650+ mls) and third time they placed a drain for 2 days (700 mls approx) as it was very large- 18 x 20 cm- and infected and inflamed, they were concerned about sepsis. I have been wearing very tight compression since and applying a heat pad once a day. I am so anxious that it will come back again though, how long before I know I'm in the clear? Do i need to get the capsule removed too or is it ok as long as it doesn't fill up again? And yes that side does 'bulge out' more than the left side and appears more swollen but im hoping that will reduce over time? Thank you and I realise it been a number of years since this video was posted so probably not expecting a response!
Hi there, no you don't normally need to have the capsule removed because seromas are usually short-lived and don't form a capsule, so you can usually sort them out with aspiration alone. It sounds like you are having particularly bad problems and if you end up with a chronic seroma, meaning it is going on for a long time, then it can form a capsule around it and you may need to surgically remove this, but this is only rarely required. I am sorry to hear about your problems and good luck with everything. JJ
It seems not very healthy to me...
I guess it is usually a last resort.
Hi from Faroe Islands got a tattoo on my bicep, 17 cm across. Is it possible to remove. Do u come in for several cut away sessions.
Hi there, if it is large, it might take several sessions. I think I remember seeing a photo from you in our inbox, so we will get back to you with a better idea of what we can do. JJ
Thank you
Did you create a new belly button for him? If so, how did that work? How did you change the size and location of his navel?
Re-siting the belly button is an integral part of doing a full tummy tuck. You have to cut around the stalk of thee belly button and let it drop in. You then remove the excess abdominal skin and make a hole in the location of the belly button stalk (there are ways of working out where this is) and popping the belly button back through. You might be able to see me do it in this video ua-cam.com/video/0JibiyY0RGg/v-deo.htmlsi=LsZDq7hO22C6CaZa JJ
@@TheStaianoClinic Was he informed about the location and size of his new belly button before the surgery?
@@anonymouslizard we aim to put the belly button in the same place that it is in before the operation.
Im in the same boat! Idk what 18year old me was thinking
What can you recommend, mentor or motiva?
Both are good makes. Motiva only have one type of surface, so if you want a completely smooth implant, mentor offer this. Apart from that, it would probably be down to your surgeon's preference - both are good makes (if you are in USA it will have to be Mentor).
Hii! I have a few flat moles that I’ve lasered two times, but I barely see any difference. The doctor told me that if laser doesn’t work for my flat moles, nothing will. But it is possible to get rid of flat moles with excision right? (cutting it off) :)
Yes, you can always remove moles with excision and in many ways this is usually the best way to do it in my view.
Remember me?
hello again
Good day dr, thank you for the excellent video. My sister has had breast augmentation recently, in April and she has had one of her breasts feeling numb ever since. She is very concerned but has been told this will go away in many months by 2 doctors as you suggested. I really hope this is not permanent. Thanks again for your info.
What is the pain level like for the patient? 🙏🏼thanks
Hi there, the pain is not too bad. It can feel tight and uncomfortable and it will depend on the size and location of your tattoo. However, it is usually a walk in, walk out procedure and you just need normal painkillers like paracetamol and ibuprofen. JJ
Thanks!
Is it hard to remove a tattoo on the spine ?
Not especially, no. It is only skin that we remove, so it has no effect what is underneath as we don't go deep. It is fine to remove a tattoo overlying the spine. JJ
What about neck tatto
Hi samur, there is no problem with removing a tattoo on the neck, as long as it is not too big. JJ
Thank you very much for the information
I always miss out on life but i have a question..
Fire away
@@TheStaianoClinic I had breast uplift with silicone (breast enlargement) 5 months ago, now one nipple (areola) is higher than the other one, my right nipple is ok but left is higher , very visibly uneven. Can that be fixed and how much roughly would it cost? Thank youuuuuuu ♥️
@@AgisVision Yes that can be fixed but it is best to wait for everything to fully settle before considering surgery. Ideally 12 months. It is usually best to talk to your surgeon as they may do revisions for a modified fee. JJ
@@TheStaianoClinic thanks i dont want to talk with my surgent 🙂 I wouldnt let same person operate me again as i assume it was they miss match maths. I am looking for someone else. Would you kindly give me a guide price from to for nipple correction ?
@@AgisVision I can't really be very accurate about price as I have not examined you and it will not be me operating on you. It could be a minor correction under local anaesthetic which might be a few thousand pounds or it could be a full breast lift which would be 5-10 thousand pounds. It is not uncommon for things to need corrections and I would not be too hard on your surgeon as they will have a vested interest to sort it out for you. JJ
There are tan spots on my scar,will they be permanent? What measures should i take to remove them?
hard to say without seeing them. As a rule it takes a year or more for a scar to fully mature, so if it is less than a year, it may well improve. If you have got the sun on the scar while it is healing that has caused the tanning, then this may be permanent, so time will tell. If it is permanent, you could always have the scar revised. JJ
@@TheStaianoClinic thank you,i think its slowly fading,its almost two weeks and theres a already a difference,thank you soo much🙏
@@user-kl5fo2qk9c Great. Fingers crossed.
How about FUE spots on the head. With a shaved head. Will tanning make them more noticeable or will it help cover it. Scars are 5 years old
Hi doctor is it possible to remove a forehand band tattoo which is 2inch broad covering the arm?
Hi I answered this on my Q&A last night ua-cam.com/users/livexMs3Qpae-ds?si=HOTbDE3sYMVNR8U7 It is best to send a photo for an accurate opinion but I think 2inches is a bit too wide to remove in one session and it may need serial excision. JJ
Hi, Is having a hiatus hernia an issue to having a tummy tuck with lipo?
It is not a problem with the surgery because a hiatus hernia is internal and nowhere near where we will be operating. The anaesthetist will need to know as it may be more of an issue for them than the surgeon. Good luck. JJ
After 2 c sections, I get mild keloid scarring, but still want to go through the procedure. Is there anything I can do to minimize the scarring, or any treatments after I've fully healed?
There isn't much you can do to reduce the risk of keloid scarring, but there are things you can do if it occurs once you are fully healed. Massage, silicone sheets or gel and steroid injections can all help. JJ
It's really important to find a surgeon that specialises in the area that you want to treat.
It depends on what you are having done because there are some areas that any plastic surgeon can deal with, but for more complex cases, it may be better to see a specialist.
Makes sense that way I’m not pulling on the incision and causing it to stretch the scar
yes, your body will naturally get in a position to avoid tension on the wound.
Great delivery of your thoughts doctor. We can get you 30 new high ticket patients for your plastic surgery practice in the next 30 days. You interested?
Always, bring it on!
Is it harder to remove a 1cm tattoo just below the eyebrow? Or would you recommend excisions in that general area at all? I have a red tatto and have attempted laser for 8 sessions now and it does not seem to have faded much. It's between the eyelid and the eyebrow. 🙏
That would be tricky because the risk is that it may pull the eyebrow down causing an asymmetry with the other side. Laser does struggle with colour sometimes, which puts you in an awkward spot. It depends on how much it bothers you as to whether you want to take on the risk of the scar and asymmetry if you went down the excision route. JJ
Would this surgery work on plain black faded 3x3 neck tattoos? Or is the neck not ok
The neck is a good area for excision. 3x3 isn't great as long and thin tattoos are always better than square or round ones. JJ
Im 5 half months on still very very flabby swollen its bad job very horrible long healing ver very very long painful time months of not being able to move walk or exercise its not a fast surgery. Tt is long long very very painful surgery. It does look better then before but it bloats and is swollen. I hate compression thing its very very very tormenting to me it feels restricted. If you get tt please get looked after because i did it alone then had to move house catch planes was horrendous. So be prepared if you do it keep your compression on for theee months full time
Hello there, yes it can be a long haul and is very difficult if you do not have support. It can take a year before everything fully settles so is definitely not a quick fix! JJ
Can I do chemo while the tissue expander is still inside my breast ?
Hello there. Yes you can have chemo while the expander is in. Your oncologist and reconstructive surgeon will certainly work with you on this. JJ
Does this work with big tattoos too?
Yes we can remove big tattoos especially if they are in a good location like the abdomen. However, not all tattoos can be excised, so you can always send us a photo for an opinion. wa.me/447794739606
This video is near and dear to my heart! Thanks so much for offering insight onto your thought process as a surgeon. As a lymphedema therapist in the USA, I like to see tummy tuck clients after their drains come out or when they feel well enough to get dressed and come to the office. My patients generally appreciate massage if (choose one or more): 1.They tend to feel swollen ankles or bloated abdomen after a long/hot day. 2.They are quite anxious about surgery (the massage is relaxing). 3.They are 'holistic' and use massage for self-care already. 4. They want to do "everything" they can to heal. 5. They are 'high touch' patients, with tons of questions and concerns (they feel taken care of at their weekly massages). 6. They are the one that EVERYONE relies on / Type A personality (they need extra reminders to take it easy and not do too much too fast). Only the first reason can be measured with a tape measure. All the others are the surgeon doing an in depth consultation. Interestingly, clients with reasons 2 through 6 are the ones that tell me they went to their one month follow up and told their surgeon "Wow! You need to recommend lymphatic massage to EVERYONE!"
Hi Kathleen, looks like you have really thought about it! Thanks for your comment. JJ
@@TheStaianoClinicyep! I have been helping clients recover and listening to their stories for eight years.
I've got a small lipoma in my belly. 29th of April I'm having a scan to see where it's at and to confirm precisely what it is.. Hopefully it can be removed under local sedation.. 🤞
Good luck. Always best to get a scan if you are not sure. If you can feel it, then it could be possible to remove under local but the scan will show how deep it is. Good luck. JJ
Can you please say why stopping smoking for a week is not enough ? Is the half life of nicotine really that long ? Are the blood vessels constricted for weeks?
Hi there. Ideally you should stop 6 weeks before if you can because the little hairs in your windpipe will have been paralysed while you are smoking and they start to come back to life when you stop smoking. This means that you start to clear secretions in your lungs and you start coughing stuff up. This is not ideal if you are having a big operation like a tummy tuck or breast lift and so you need to give it time for your lungs to start to recover. JJ
@@TheStaianoClinic that makes perfect sense - thank you !
