🗺️ I’m back after an EPIC family trip to Yellowstone! We explored most of the major sites, and I would definitely recommend staying in the park if possible. I’m also going to try and compile a reel of all the bubbling/boiling/churning/trickling noises as well as one dedicated to my favorite part which was the impractically wooly and slow bison.

⭐️ TUMMY TUCK BEFORE and AFTER ⭐️

This patient is 7 months out from an abdominoplasty with muscle repair and liposuction of the flank/love handle areas. In total, we removed 3 1/2 pounds of tissue. As you can see, the scars that are located from hip to hip and around her bellybutton hide very well. One of the key details to a successful tummy tuck is a natural looking belly button.

Patients will often ask how far out from surgery they will be able to enjoy summer activities. In the case of a tummy tuck, activity restrictions are for 4 to 6 weeks after surgery but after that, everything is fair game!

As a general rule, a patient having surgery in the spring will be 100% presentable and ready for swimsuit season in the summer.

🌟 BREAST REDUCTION Before & After 🌟

Many patients ask if a breast reduction is also a lift. It is! A breast reduction and a breast lift often use the same incisions and a similar internal rearrangement of the tissue, but with a breast reduction, breast tissue is actually removed; with a lift, only skin is removed.

This young patient presented with headaches, neck and back pain, rashes under her breasts, as well as an inability to wear a bra due to the sensitivity of her rib cage. Many of her symptoms improved after her breast reduction. Here she is 6 months after her surgery during which I took over 3 pounds of tissue off! She also chose to have some liposuction of the side bra roll and front armpit areas.

⭐️ FACIAL FAT GRAFTING ⭐️

I have to thank this wonderful patient for allowing me to share her before and after photos.

She is three months out from fat grafting to the temples, upper cheeks and cheekbone areas. We did a small amount of fat transfer into the anterior/central cheeks, and the upper and lower lips as well.

She had previously tried filler, however this did not seem to last more than a few weeks. Some patients are fast metabolizers of filler and neurotoxin, and she was looking for more permanent result.

You can see an improvement in her upper face contour and fullness. The great thing about fat transfer is that the results are very natural and they are permanent. Of course a person will continue to age, so a fat transfer can be redone in the future if the patient chooses to undergo another procedure.

The down time for facial fat grafting is about 1-2 weeks. Most of the swelling will go away within 3 to 4 weeks and final results are visible as early as 6 weeks after the procedure.

GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY

Gynecomastia surgery is the term used to describe procedures that remove male breast tissue. We do see patients quite frequently with this concern who feel uncomfortable in form fitting shirts or going shirtless at all. The surgical technique we use depends on how much excess breast tissue and skin a patient has. Surgery can range from just liposuction (if very little excess tissue or skin is present) to a mastectomy with free ni**le grafting (in the case of a lot of excess breast tissue and skin). This patient underwent both direct excision of glandular breast tissue through an incision on the underside of his ar**la as well as liposuction of the entire chest. The key features in this case are that he no longer has a visible amount of breast issue, we decreased the appearance of the inframammary fold, and the scars are very minimal in this 7 month postop photo.

🍫 GUESS WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE KAYAN KITCHEN TODAY … 🍫

❤️🤍❤️PEPPERMINT BARK❣️🤍❤️🤍

Now I realize this doesn’t count as baking or cooking per se, but around Halloween my kids start asking when I’ll be making peppermint bark again. After several years and batches of experimentation, I have developed the following observations and gentle words of guidance to ensure maximum chances for success:

1. chocolate chips do not work as well as bars. They are designed to stay in chip form in baked goods, so there is almost a waxy coating on the outside of each chip that leads to a chunky texture when they are all melted together

2. White chocolate and dark chocolate in a 2:1 ratio tastes the best. There is enough dark for added bitterness and not too much white as to be overwhelmingly sweet

3. 🌱 Peppermint oil is FAR superior to peppermint extract. This I learned during the last batch when the whole fam kept chanting “add more! add more!” and the alcohol/water in the extract caused the white chocolate layer to seize up 🤬

4. Cheap candy canes work the best because they are more weak and brittle. Lesson learned when I tried to crush up fancy organic ones and they would not crush!

5. Lastly, mix some of the finer candy cane bits into the white chocolate layer for extra mintyness and texture.

WHAT IS CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE?

Capsular contracture is the term that describes hardening of the scar tissue or scar capsule around a breast implant. There are 4 grades, with the fourth being the worst. This patient came to me wanting better symmetry and softer implants. She had grade 4 capsular contracture on her right side and grade 3 on her left side. We removed her old saline implants as well as the capsules around them and placed new 230 cc silicone implants. We also did a breast lift at the same time. Her result is a much more natural looking, softer breast, and less skin and improved ni**le/ar**la position due to the lift. Her scars will fade further as she is only four months out from surgery.

Patients often ask me if removal of the capsule around their implants is absolutely necessary. This really depends on the scenario. If a patient is experiencing breast implant illness symptoms or inflammatory issues, then I would usually recommend removal of the scar capsule that surrounds the breast implant. In this case we removed the capsule not because of any systemic inflammatory symptoms, but because it was firm and calcified. Leaving the capsule in place it would have led to a continued deformed appearance of the breast and potential risk of rupture to the new implant, as the calcified capsule has very sharp edges.

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 🦃

It’s never too early to start planning for the holidays. Sometimes I enjoy this part more than the holidays themselves! 😉❄️

Target has the cutest ornaments for $3-$5, and they have sold out of the popular ones pretty quickly in past years. My favorites are always the mini ugly Christmas sweaters, but this year’s haul includes a cute felted pickle and mushroom and mini waffle iron and chemex pour over carafe.

Feel free to share your favorite, most unique or most creepy holiday decorations and ornaments as you start pre-decorating 😊

TUMMY TUCK BEFORE & AFTER

This patient is eight months out from an abdominoplasty with liposuction of the flanks and repair of her re**us abdominis muscles. After having kids, the stretching and shrinking of the abdomen led to a deflated pouch of excess skin. She did not have much if any excess fat. Even after a strict exercise regimen and no improvement of the hanging skin, she elected to undergo a tummy tuck. During her procedure 2 1/2 pounds of skin was removed!

Postoperatively, she was very happy with her results as all of the scars hid very well even under her two piece swimsuit.
