  Aug 13, 202610 min

  If you just had a breast lift and your breasts look or feel bigger than you expected, this episode is for you. And if you are considering a breast lift and wondering whether it will change your size, this episode is also for you. A breast lift cannot make you bigger. What you are seeing and feeling is swelling, and it is completely normal. Board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Smita Ramanadham and Dr. Ashley Amalfi answer this exact viewer question and walk through everything you need to know, from what swelling actually looks like after a lift, to the recovery timeline, to what you can do right now to heal faster. Including one tip about your post-surgery diet that most patients have never heard. What You'll Learn: Why a breast lift can never make you bigger and what's actually happening when it feels that way. The difference between a lift, a reduction. Why asymmetric swelling can happen when different procedures are done on each side. The two most important time markers in breast surgery recovery: three weeks and three months. How compression, sleep position, and lymphatic massage help reduce swelling. Why your diet after surgery matters more than you think — and the sodium connection most patients miss.

What You'll Learn: How Botox treats hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and who it's most life-changing for. How Botox helps TMJ, teeth grinding, and jaw clenching — and why it outlasts other treatments. What Bell's palsy is, why Dr. Ashley developed it after pregnancy, and how Botox helps manage facial asymmetry. Why Botox is used across nearly every medical specialty not just plastic surgery.

  Pre-Surgery Checklist | What to Expect Before Plastic Surgery | From Two Female Plastic Surgeons

  Jul 30, 202611 min

  This week on Lipstick and Lipo we're switching gears instead of talking about recovery, we're talking about what happens before you even get to the operating table. This episode came from a viewer question about blood work, and it opened up a whole conversation we don't normally cover. From medical clearance and blood work to mammograms, GLP-1 medications, supplements, and why telling your surgeon about everything including things you might not think matter. We're walking you through everything you need to know to get yourself to surgery safely. What You'll Learn: Why cosmetic surgery requires the same level of pre-op preparation as any other surgery. What blood work and medical clearance most patients need before going under. Why Dr. Amalfi now recommends a mammogram for every breast surgery patient regardless of age. What additional labs GLP-1 and weight loss patients need before surgery. Why your supplements, vitamins, and peptides are just as important as your medications. How diabetes, thyroid issues, and other conditions affect your surgical clearance. When surgery might need to be postponed — and why that's actually a good thing. Why there is no such thing as too much information when it comes to your pre-op history. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple so you never miss a new episode of Lipstick and Lipo.

  A Plastic Surgeon Becomes the Patient: Dr. Smita Ramanadham's C-Section Recovery

  Jul 23, 202613 min

  This week on Lipstick and Lipo we have exciting news Dr. Smita is back, and she's a new mom! With a seven-week-old at home, Smita is sharing what it was like to be on the other side of surgery for the very first time. As surgeons, we talk our patients through recovery every single day, but experiencing it firsthand is a whole different story. We're comparing C-section recovery to tummy tuck recovery, talking about why having a support system matters so much in that first month, and getting into what it was really like for Smita to return to the OR just five weeks after giving birth. What You'll Learn: How C-section recovery compares to a tummy tuck and why they're not the same surgery. Why tummy tuck patients get more recovery support than new moms (and how that changes healing). Why the recovery advice we give patients turned out to be accurate firsthand. How to know when you're ready to return to activity after surgery and why easing in matters. What options exist if you don't have a support network at home. What going back to the OR five weeks post-C-section was actually like. Don't forget to subscribe we've got lots more plastic surgery content headed your way.

  Lipo Recovery: Why It's Different for Everyone

  Jul 16, 20267 min

  This week on Lipstick and Lipo we're answering one of your questions about lipo recovery. As our name states, we use lipo consistently in our practices. Now, there are differing opinions about healing, and like many things, it's super personal. Every person has a different pain tolerance, and that's something that's really hard to compare. Even though the incisions are small, lipo is still something major don't assume you'll be back at work the next day. We're going through what recovery actually looks like, what affects it, and how we set our patients up to heal well. Highlights: The misconception small incisions create: this isn't a "lunchtime" procedure. Why bruising and swelling are completely normal no matter who your surgeon is. Pain tolerance is personal why some patients bounce back fast and others need more time. The supplements that can make your bruising worse. How anxiety plays into what you feel during recovery. Why good skin quality matters for your final result. This episode came straight from your comments keep the questions coming!
