Awesome information!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent advice! Nothing like being properly prepared!
Absolutely!
Im in the uk I really wish I could see you 😮. Do you know on surgeon as good as you in Turkey

Tuve mi cirugía con el doctor!! William ❤ es el mejor!! Doctor en Miami!! Se los recomiendo es excelente 👌 y sus videos son muyyyy buenos para aprender!!❤❤❤
gracias! 😘
This is a great video as always. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
@@DrWilliamMiami please doctor,how much will it cost me to do TT?
@@DrWilliamMiamiInstead of the wedges, how about a mechanical recliner that leans back but also goes up to full standing??
Artist artist William 🎖🎖💯💯🥇🥇🥇👏👏♥️♥️♥️♥️ you are the best doctor William
Yes! Indeed!👌👍🏽❤
Thank you for the advice Dr William
You are very welcome.
@@DrWilliamMiamihello! How can I and how does the doctors prevent blood clots? Especially if you're traveling 2-3 hours.
Appointment January 10th can’t wait !!
Love your videos!
Glad you like them! Thank you. If you have any suggestions for what you want to see please let me know.
@@DrWilliamMiami I would like to see more around your specific patient parameters. For example BMI, if you have a limit but there exceptions, what are you looking for if you make exceptions. I would also like to see more on what you can accomplish with a TT. Maybe a deeper dive about if a patient wants a bbl later (you have some videos on this) vs TT only. What a patient can do if they have "complications" but they are out of state and back home. Would love more education and stories from BA and TT. I think you do them ALL very well and I would love to hear more and see more stories. If I missed an existing video let me know but I'm pretty sure I have watched them all MULTIPLE times lol. Thank you (ant your team) for all that you do to educate and entertain. 😘
I have my appointment for the next month. I'm nervous but I'm excited
Looking forward to it!
Hi,@Dr.willian,I'm so excited about my surgery is in October. I'LL see you soon 😊 ❤️thank u for the video it's so helpful 🙏

@@DrWilliamMiami en que clinica trabaja por favor. Estoy interesada
Wow I wish I could have you ran across you a couple of months ago
Thank you
You're welcome!
Thank you Thank you! Im having my tummy tuck surgery in 3 weeks (1/29/24) 2hrs. out of town/state. We've rented a home to stay in for 3 nights for recovery before traveling home. I will remember this information when checking in and set up my Nest. Thank you again Dr. Miami! You have helped me in many many ways in this transformation journey.
How are you doing!? My surgery is in 2 months!
How are you? How was the travel?
❤❤❤❤the best
El me va operar ami en dos mese me siento nerviosa, feliz y ansiosa de ante mano muchas gracias doctor: William usted me operará ami bendiciones ❤
Good morning DR Williams, i have been watching your videos for two years now i believe i will be safe i did my operation with you. I'm in Australia i would to do TT and breast reduction and BBL. I understood you very well you can't do TT and BBL at the same time. Can you do TT and Brest reduction at the same time? I'm very happy to come America for 3 times
2 more weeks! This was right on time! See you soon, Dr.William ❤️❤️
So close!
Ok Shelcey! Excited for you would.love to know your story if you are willing to share.
@@GodsMyrical I typically don't vlog but I may make a sx pg on Instagram.
@Queen J it went well. I'm 15 days post op. I had a active lifestyle and physical job at times prior to sx, so that helped me alot. I did alot of walking everyday and it became easier with each day. I still have my surgical tape on (let that fall off on its own), I bathe with antibacterial soap and will until my incision is completely healed. I use all clean washing clothes, towels, clothes that will touch my incision and belly button. I don't put anything in my belly button and I allow my body to air dry before i put my faja on. Collagen and high protein diet
You're welcome. I'm a MedSurg Travel RN, so I removed my own drains at 8 days PO--Ive done it many times before on some of my patients. The rule of thumb for drain removal is when you are draining less than 25 mL within a 24-48 hour period and when the fluid is pinkish-clear. This is based on individuality because everyone is different.
You will wake up in a binder, no faja until your drains have been removed.
Thanks for the information. Can you do a video on breastfeeding after breast augmentation?
Not much to discuss in a video. You can breast feed after a breast augmentation exactly the same way as you can without a breast augmentation. The implant is under your gland or muscle but either way your breast works exactly the same whether an implant is present or not.
Dr. William any advice for woman with previous hysterectomy?
I'm losing weight and it's obvious I will need a tummy tuck to deal with the loose skin. I have a goal body fat percentage of 12 percent. If I were to to get to an even lower body fat percentage, would it give me a better result? My thought is that the weight I would regain to back to that 12 percent would stretch out any surgery "imperfections"?
1. buy wedges for back and knees
2. prepare nest (water,meds,etc. close to the bed)
Yes! Thank you!
Where can I purchase them heading to Miami Sept 1?
Since day 1 never walked in a bent position and my recovery was sup r smooth and fast
Yes I have patients like that as well--they are few but certainly some patients never feel the need to stay in a flexed position. On the other hand I will have patients who walk looking straight to the ground! Recovery is a little different for everyone just like the surgical results.glad you had a great recovery.
What if you get a bbl and a tummy tuck? How do you walk and lay
How long will you wait after booking
I have schedule my Tummy tuck with bbl with you, but I am very concern with loosing my bbl if I stay to much time in this flex position. Can you make a video explaining more of the prep for those making TT and BBL at the same time.
There is not much information about this combined procedures.
Thanks in advance
I don't know how to recover after a BBL and TT done at the same time so I am not in the best position to address the recovery. I always suggest having a TT first and then 6 months later a BBL. I do the operations together and patients recover well but I really don't know how they do it because you can't lay on your tummy after a TT and you can't lay on your butt after a BBL. I know there are special chairs that patients have told me they use but it seems super difficult to me.
Im scheduled to do both at the same time also!! I’m very excited. However I think pain tolerance has a lot to do with it also. I think it is possible in a chair with a hole at the bum area and also sometimes kneeling on your knees. I’m sure we got this girl :)
Can’t wait to meet Dr. William !
Check out Dr. William Rahal. He does these combo procedures with TT and BBL all the time and has his patients sleep on their backs. Results are phenomenal. He has LOTS of videos here on RUclips.
@@bumblebeeb how did it go?
What's to use when when itching when healing after tummy tuck and what can you eat?
Hi doc, I just wanted to ask, how long its take to wear those foam? Thank you and God bless you more
usually for one month after surgery
Thank you❤
You're welcome 😊
Love you videos btw! But how do you sleep with a tummy tuck and bbl procedure?
I slept in this same exact position and just r sure that my butt wasn’t flat on the bed. The way I positioned the pillow under the knees kept my butt afloat
That's the tricky part--it's why I suggest a TT first and then a BBL 6 months later.
I love my results! Dr. William wouldn’t steer you wrong. I’m glad I waited on getting boobs because doing multiple surgeries all at once is a daunting recovery.
I heard that something else 🐱 gets lifted during a tummy tuck, what if I don’t want that to happen? Does it happen to everyone? Thanks 🙏🏼
One question dr William, do you HAVE to get a tummy tuck if you have excess skin? Like not much but enough. I want to just get a bbl & hopefully like some skin tightening procedure. Is it possible?
The general rule is: if you have EXTRA skin then you should get a tummy tuck as liposuction may not be possible to do or the results may not be very good in terms of the skin.
Where to buy this foam for the bed?
I want a bbl, but I NEED a TT due to weight loss. Which one would I need to get first?
He has a ton of videos on this you can search through. A lot of great info. But he prefers to do the TT first to prepare you for a bbl. Then I think like 6 months later you can get your bbl. Hope this helps! 😃
Exactly! Well said!
See EB's answer!
Do you have a recovery house there for patients who come from out of town?
I don't have one. They are all operated independently from the clinic.
My 18 year old daughter is 'special needs' (high functioning autism - Asperger's, etc.), and she is getting the 'tummy tuck' procedure, as well as work on her arms ('hello helens'?) in 2 days. I'm sure she, my wife, and the Plastic Surgeon had discussions about the subject weeks ago, to see where she stood psychologically, and the doctor said it would be OK. My daughter actually wanted these procedures when she was 16, but was denied, and rightly so. Personally, as her dad, I still think she would have benefited by waiting until she was in her 20's, but my gut feeling is that all these damn online social media sites have greatly influenced (brainwashed?) even teens to go under the knife, expecting miracles! I'm still surprised that she is going through with this. What are your thoughts about young adults (18, 19 year olds) getting this, and similar other plastic surgery procedures? Is it too young? Should you wait a few more years until your 20's? Any comments would be appreciated.
It just comes down to emotional maturity and the support she has at home. I have had patients in their 20's and 30's that I didn't think were in a good place emotionally to be able to handle the surgery and suggested they wait--so for me the maturity and support system are the most important factors over and above age. A supportive mother and father for an 18 yr old cannot be underestimated and it sounds as if your daughter has both! Best of luck on her recovery.
@@DrWilliamMiami Thank you Dr. Miami! I appreciate your feedback, and yes, of course she has our love and support. She is a great daughter, and we would do anything to help her be happy. My only concern is that so many teens these days have body dysmorphia, or something similar, that impels them to choose this kind of surgery. Much of it is fomented by the intense pressure of social media to look like a model, or thereabouts. I think this is a very valid concern for teens and their parents today.
How long do you need to sit/sleep in that position? How long do you walk hunched over?
Usually take about a week before you can stand straight after a BBL.
Hi doctor I’m in 🇬🇧 what is the cost in USA for a tuck? I need a tuck, don’t want one but it is what it is x
Yimey can help you with that. Her email is yimey.drwilliammiami@gmail.com
How soon to get massages
Where can you buy the wedges?
You can usually get them at a store for the back.
I have mine on 1/4. PS said I don’t need the muscle repair so I’m hoping for an easier recovery. And having Vaser Liposuction Flanks, Back and Abdomen. Thoughts? I live alone and will only have a hired nurse for 3 days.
Sounds like a good plan I would just make sure that you will have some additional help after those three days as you will still need some help with meal preparation and getting around and help with bathing at that point.
Thank you for responding. Unfortunately, I don’t have much of a support group but I may be able to have my neighbor come by for an hour for a couple of days after the nurse leaves. Do you think that will be good enough?
I was told to sleep in a 30-35 degrees angle for 6 wks is that true? When can I sleep normal without wedges?
That's great to use the wedges. I tell my patients 3 weeks.
Doc is there any way to reduce the skin without getting an operation done? I was 140 KG and I am currently at 80 KGs. The skin around my stomach is not very tight, it's soft but isn't hanging like some people after weight loss. I have heard that there is some method where the doctors inject you with some liquid around the soft skin and it helps to tighten the skin? Is this real?
Sounds too good to be true to me. I am sorry but I am not familiar with this technique.
No non-surgical “procedure” will ever give you surgical results.
Dr. Williams, what do you recommend for cleaning incisions?
Regular soap and water. Just like you clean your skin now.
@@DrWilliamMiami Is there a max time JP drains should be left in following a TT? Thank you Dr. Williams! 🤗
Drain removal is based on their output not time so there is no max time. For my patients I remove the drains when each individual drain output is less than 25 cc per 24 hours for two consecutive days.
@@DrWilliamMiami Thank you!
Where can we purchase the wedges?
One of those back stores usually has them.
Wish I’d known any of this prior to mine. I spent days trying to lie flat in bed and walk standing straight, nobody told me I should be flexed 😫 no wonder it’s taking longer to heal.
How is your recovery coming along
I’m scheduled for the end of the month and excited but super nervous
Where can you buy those wedges
Usually at a back store.
I wanted to do
A tummy tuck but it’s very expensive
W
Having mine done in 2 weeks :) but he didn’t tell me to walk like that today when I was at the doctor 😮. I’m really nervous 😬
You will automatically walk like that so no worries. Your body will guide you.
this the same for a 360 tuck?
yes
For how long in this position ?
Usually for at least the first week.
Do you need any massages or anything after a tummy tuck?
Not for a tummy tuck but if you have lipo combined with a TT then you will also need to have massages for the areas that had liposuction.
@@DrWilliamMiami thank you for responding so quick that help me with my decision
When will the tightness go away with the tummy tuck and lipo im 3 months next week or is it too early because of the swelling??
Good luck with your recovery ❤️ Did you go to him or any of his associates at 305? If so, how was your experience?
@@sunshinemoon7732 thank you , no I didn't I did my surgery in my country im not American but would love to with dr william
The tightness can persist for more than 6 months and sometimes even longer. Everyone is different but three months is still within the normal range.
@@DrWilliamMiami thank you so much doctor🌹
Is that a beer can? Energy drink????
Hahah. No! It's just water.

I am not Dr Miami. I can't make a video about them because I no longer do that operation so I would not consider myself the one to speak on that poeration. I would see if you can get information from a post-bariatric plastic surgeon. Sorry, wish I could help.
