It is difficult to guarantee a specific cup size after breast reduction because bra sizes vary between brands and mainly reflect the width of the breast footprint. Dr. Jenq plans around proportion to your body frame rather than a letter size. For many patients that falls around a B, C, or small D, depending on chest width and body proportions.

Most earlobe piercing problems, including embedded earrings, split or stretched earlobes and keloids, can be repaired. Most repairs are done in the clinic under local anesthesia in under an hour, with stitches removed in about a week. After a split is repaired, many patients can re-pierce the ear in a new spot.

Submuscular implants sit partially or fully beneath the pectoralis muscle, while subglandular implants sit above the muscle and beneath the breast tissue. Dr. Jenq usually recommends submuscular placement because it offers more durable long-term support and better implant coverage, though it can cause animation deformity and a slightly longer recovery. Subglandular and subfascial placement can be good choices in select patients.

Dr. Jenq approaches a breast lift (mastopexy) with two complementary techniques. Skin recontouring removes excess skin and lifts the nipple, while an internal mastopexy moves the breast gland higher and secures it with anchor sutures to the upper chest muscle. Combining both improves shape and upper breast support and creates a more stable, long-lasting lift.

Acne scars vary in depth, texture, and color, so Dr. Jenq matches treatment to the scar type and often combines treatments that target different scar layers. She uses a CO2 laser combined with microneedling for uneven texture and discoloration, and subcision to release scars that pull the skin down. Plans are personalized and may start gently with resurfacing before adding other steps.

Moles are clusters of pigment cells on or in the upper skin, lipomas are soft, movable lumps of fat beneath the skin, and sebaceous cysts are firmer lumps attached to the skin, sometimes with a small central opening. Most are harmless, but a lump that grows quickly, hurts, changes or feels fixed should be examined.

Dr. Jenq finds surgery gives the most balanced results when your weight has been steady for at least 6 months, though you do not need to hit an exact number. Small changes of around 10 to 15 pounds usually do not dramatically alter the outcome, while larger gains or losses can cause looser skin or a fuller look. Skin elasticity also affects how well results adapt.

Gynecomastia is enlarged breast tissue in men, on one side or both. The most common cause is idiopathic, meaning the tissue grows without a clear medical reason; other causes may include hormone changes, certain medications, or weight gain. Treatment depends on the amount of breast tissue and how well the skin can contract after removal.
