I thought that this might be a good place to post questions to me, so that other people can see your questions and my answers. I will continue to answer questions from those of you that private message me, but this is a nice way to share the information with others - since many of your questions are relevant to other people.

I will try to answer the questions as quickly as possible, and include links and pictures when appropriate.

I am obligated to add this disclosure.....any information provided by me is my opinion and cannot substitute for an actual consultation with your qualified physician.

Dear Dr. Schulman,

Many questions for you:

I recently lost a lot of weight. A TT is a top priority with a breast lift and maybe implants to follow. When done in conjunction, how long is one under anesthesia? If the patient is willing to deal with the cost and the hassle of it, it it better to do one procedure at a time?

I never had good legs, even when I was thin. Does a lower body lift address cellulite and poor muscle tone in upper thighs? I lost 100 lbs and am pretty fit and a former athlete. No exercise is going to address the issue.

If I have young children and wanted to have plastic surgery and not tell friends, how long would I have to disappear for? How long without exercise?

I'm not sure I'm saying it correctly but I have an issue with anticardiolipin antibodies. A clotting something. How would this come into play? I've had several (non plastic) surgeries in the past without incident.

I used to have large breasts but they've seen better days. is it possible to get a lift and implants that allow them to age well and look natural? If I just had a lift I think they'd be too small compared to my body, but in all honesty at 40 and happily married I'm not trying to impress anyone. Is there such a thing as a not noticeable, natural, reasonable (36C?) list with implants? People always seem to go so crazy.

And then I have no eyelids so there's that when I'm 50. I can see how this might become addictive. What is the first age-related procedure people do? After the 100 lbs, my face is worse for wear.

Sorry. Lots of questions. Sinai is my hospital (although I was banded at NYU) so I'm particularly curious about your responses.

Thanks in advance for all.
