Before answering I do have to qualify that my answers are my guidelines for a typical septo-rhinoplasty procedure and without knowing specifics about your nose and proposed surgery, I cannot give you specific answers regarding your recovery experience. It would not be atypical for an individual to get back to most routine activities that are not physically demanding within a few days to a week. I have my patients refrain from any activity that may raise there blood pressure or heart rate or cause them to perspire for a full 3 weeks. I also ask them not participate in contact sports for 6-8 weeks. So based on those guidelines and assuming your surgery is not extraordinary, then you should be able to study fairly soon after your surgery and you should be able to start running 3 weeks after. I would stay away from soccer for 2 months. It is always best to consult with your surgeon for a more definitive answer. Good Luck.

It sounds like you are a good candidate for breast reduction surgery and you may in turn receive some of the benefits of a reduction to your breast size which is less strain on your neck and back and increased exercise tolerance which could lead to additional weight loss. Whether or not your insurance company pays for this procedure is another thing. You would definitely need to be examined by a plastic surgeon and have that physical exam documented. Every insurance company has slightly different criteria. Many want to know Height and Weight to figure out your BMI, along with documentation of your symptoms.

Wow! you have so many concerns, and they are appropriate for someone considering breast augmentation surgery. The goal of breast augmentation surgery is of course to make you larger, but it should never be at the expense of naturalness. To achieve the desired result it is important that the right implant is selected and the design of the operation matches the patient. It is impossible to make these kinds of decisions without examining you in person. As far as the concerns for scarring, it is highly unusual to see thick scars from a breast augmentation . All of your concerns, and more, are best handled during the consultation with a reputable Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. ASAPS can usually provide you with several near your living area.

In general, lower eyelid blepharoplasty can be more tricky than upper eyelid surgery because when treating many of the problems associated with aging lower lids it involves skin and soft tissue tightening of structures that need support so that the lid functions normally. To potentially complicate things further, the lower lid position and shape is very influenced by the adjacent, heavy cheek below. It is very important to not only assess this anatomy properly but to then perform the appropriate procedure(s) so that the function of the lower lid is not disturbed. The main purpose of the lower lid is to catch the constant flow of tears and channel it to the punctum (openings to tear ducts) so that the tears naturally drain into the nasal cavity. When there is a disruption in this normal anatomy excess, actual, tearing occurs. This may be your problem. The good news is that often times it will resolve as the healing process continues and there is less pulling on the lower lid. If it does not resolve, you may need a secondary procedure to give support to the lax lower lid, like a canthoplasty. Sometimes a cheek lift may be necessary to help descent of the lower lid that is caused by the weight of the cheek. I would discuss this further with your Plastic surgeon but if you are still not confident with the answers you are getting than get a second opinion.
