Surgeons typically like to see young women wait until they are at least 15 before considering changes to their nose with cosmetic surgery. For young men, waiting until age 18 is preferred, as their structural framework may not be complete until then. Exceptions to this rule are for persons with cleft lip/palate as this affects the development of their nose, or individuals who have suffered an injury to their nose.

Liposuction is often performed as the only procedure for body contouring when there is no excess skin. In addition, liposuction is often added to other body contouring procedures such as abdominoplasty or body lift to optimize the results. The amount of liposuction to be performed for the anticipated results will vary from person to person. When a large amount of aspirate (fat and fluids removed) is anticipated, then the procedure can be either performed in a hospital setting, or can be split up into 2 separate surgeries. Typically, aspirates in the amount up to 5 liters can be performed in an outpatient surgery setting where the patient goes home the same day after recovering from the procedure.

In situations where the nipple areola has descended and there is a large excess of skin, often times the best choice is for a Weiss pattern mastopexy, or a “Keyhole” mastopexy. The name implies the pattern that the scar achieves when the incisions are closed. The incision extends around the nipple areola complex, then inferior in a vertical fashion, then into the natural breast fold- the infra-mammary crease. This procedure is capable of removing the most skin, thus tightening the breast mound the most. This procedure can be done either with or without the use of implants, in either very small up to very large breasts. It achieves placment of the nipple areola complex in a higher position, tightening of the skin, and reduction of the nipple areola complex if desired, and better shape of the breast mound tissue.
