I’m 47 years old. I’m a B, but I’ve always wanted to have bigger breasts, am I too old for implants?
Mar 11, 2019
Hi, thanks for your question. No, you are certainly not "too old" for implants. I would meet with a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination and to discuss what your goals are for your breasts and what options are available to you. Best wishes, Dr. Tag
How to avoid animation deformity?
How to avoid animation deformity?
Mar 11, 2019
Hi, thanks for your question. The only way to entirely avoid animation deformity is to place the implant over the muscle. The limitations with this are thickness of breast tissue, which can determine how noticeable the implant would be. To asses this, you would need an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to see what the best choice for you is. 
Best of luck, Dr. Tag. 
Would breast implants make breasts’ sagging worse after pregnancy/childbirth?
Would breast implants make breasts’ sagging worse after pregnancy/childbirth?
Mar 11, 2019
Hi, thanks for your question. It is difficult to predict what the changes to your breasts will be, but common changes are decreased volume, increased sagginess and asymmetry. These changes would make it more likely that you would require a revision. I usually tell my patients if they are planning to get pregnant in the next year or so, it may be best to wait until after pregnancy to save yourself and the extra surgery and the money. Best of luck, Dr. Tag
Are high profile silicone implants the same as gummy bear high profile implants?
Are high profile silicone implants the same as gummy bear high profile implants?
Mar 11, 2019
Hi, thanks for your question.Yes, most silicone implants are referred to as "gummy bear" implants, whether they are shaped or round. Shaped and round implants come in high profile. Best of luck, Dr. Tag
Best implant option for fitness enthusiasts?
Best implant option for fitness enthusiasts?
Mar 11, 2019
There are multiple factors to consider in this situation. Smaller implants will be less noticeable and less heavy. Silicone is softer and more natural feeling than saline. If you have enough breast tissue, sometimes over the muscle can be better than under to prevent animation deformity. If you have a small amount of breast tissue, the implant may be more noticeable and under the muscle would be a better choice. I have plenty of patients who are extremely active in the fitness communit...

I'm a 32A, mother of 2 and I want something discreet and natural looking. Torn between 325cc and 350cc. Thoughts? (photos)
Mar 11, 2019
Hi, thank you for your question and photos. Sizing multiple times and having good discussions with your board certified plastic surgeon is the best way to ensure they know exactly what your goals are. In the end, 25cc is an extremely small difference and is almost negligible. You would most likely be happy with either. Best of luck, Dr. Tag

Hi, thanks for your question and photos. Based on the position of your nipples and the extent of excess skin, even with a larger implant I feel that you would require a breast lift with implants to reach your goal.  I would consult a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss the risks and benefits to performing both surgeries at the same time, and what to expect with this. Best of luck, Dr. Tag

Hi, thank you for your question. My policy for post-op activity limitations is at least 4-6 weeks, but I would discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon to understand their post-op guidelines and restrictions to ensure your safety. Best of luck, Dr. Tag

Hi , thank you for your question and photos. If your chest measurements and body type can handle it with good skin elasticity, then it should not be a problem, but this all really depends on an in-person exam, as everyone's body is different and volume is not the only factor in choosing implants. I would consult a board-certified plastic surgeon with an in-person consultation to perform sizing and see what the best choice for you and your body type is. Best of luck, Dr. Tag

Hi, thanks for your question and photos. You have a very nice, significant improvement from your pre-op photos, but it does appear that some aggressive liposuction can improve your results. Aggressive liposuction in some areas may increase the potential risk of complications at the time of a tummy tuck, especially in the central abdomen, but now may help you reach your goals. As your next step, I would contact and board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals. Best of luck, Dr. Tag

Thank you for your question and photo.  Just based on your photo without an in person exam , I do feel that your goal or at least close to your goal is attainable with a full tummy tuck with flank liposuction and a significant rectus diastasis repair.  I would meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to have a full exam and discuss your goals to see what is a reasonable expectation for your result.  Best of Luck!Dr. Tag

Thank you for your question and photos.  You can achieve perkiness with just a breast lift and there are some techniques to try to increase upper and medial pole fullness.  However depending on your ultimate goals , many of these techniques settle over time and leave less fullness and cleavage in the upper pole.  This can be improved with an implant with the lift at the same time.  I would meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and what option may be best for you...

Thank you for your question.  Smooth implants placed underneath the muscle tend to ride high after surgery for up to 4-6 months in some cases depending on the size of the implant and the amount of skin laxity of the patient.  It is rare for the implants not to settle over time.  If that becomes the case releasing the capsule can place the implants in the proper position.  I would meet with your board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns  if needed.  Good Luck!Dr. Tag

Thank you for your question and photos.  I think based on your photos you would be an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck.  I usually like my patients within 10-15lbs of their goal weight and stable for at least 6 months to a year.  I would meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and make a plan for when the best time for surgery.  Best of Luck!Dr. Tag
