Answer Header & Date

Answer Snippet

Can I get a full tummy tuck done with BMI 40?

Is a patient a candidate for a tummy tuck with a high BMI?
Sep 19, 2018

The risks of any surgery increase with a high BMI. Risks such as wound healing abnormalities, infection, seromas, DVTs and many other complications are significantly increased with a high BMI. In addition to that, you have nerve damage, multiple hernias, and mesh which all add to the increased risks. Reduction of your weight may reduce the incidence of complications and would certainly also improve the aesthetics of this type of procedure.

When will I be able to wear a bra after a breast reduction and lift?

When should a patient wear a bra after breast reduction?
Sep 19, 2018

Patients should wear bras immediately after surgery. A sports bra may be more comfortable initially because underwires may irritate the base of the breasts. After 2-3 weeks, an underwire bra is well tolerated. Sometimes an ace wrap maybe used to reduce localized swelling in addition to a sports bra. Patients should sleep in a bra during the first several weeks as well.

Are Sientra or “gummy bear” implants right for me? I want natural feeling/looking breast that a

Are Sientra implants (or gummy bear) right for this patient?
Sep 19, 2018

Sientra implants are excellent implants. The company has one of the best warranties and the implants are soft and natural feeling. That said, all three of the major companies, Mentor, Allergan and Sientra make excellent products, have good warranties, have gummy bear (solid gel) formulations, and are well respected by board certified plastic surgeons.

I’m unhappy with my BA, and would like more saline added. Can I have them over filled?

Can saline be added to an implant after it is placed?
Sep 19, 2018

The size of the implants is very important to discuss and understand prior to surgery. I typically review the exact dimensions of the implants with my patients prior to surgery and I rarely have patients wish that they had bigger (or smaller) after surgery. If you had expected larger implants but the doctor felt that smaller implants should be used, the placement of more saline may result in a loss of your warranty if the overfill exceeds the manufacturer’s recommendations. Add…

When you have a breast lift do you have to have implants done as well?

Do you need implants with a breast lift?
Sep 19, 2018

Many patients do fine with breast lift alone without an implant. Having an implant added to a breast lift improves the amount of volume on the superior position of the breast. If a patient has an adequate amount of breast fullness prior to surgery, that breast tissue may be used to shape the breast to add volume to the superior portion of the breasts. If a woman has small breasts, a breast lift may be used with implants to add fullness. Keep in mind that if implants are used, the risks…

Is it true that you can lose a size getting a lift?

Is it true that your breasts will decrease in size with a breast lift?
Sep 19, 2018

Yes it is true that breasts will decrease in size with a breast lift. The size change for a breast lift is subtle and is due to the tightening effect from the breast lift with the skin removal, breast tissue reshaping and frequently, the local liposuction performed. Breasts lifts done with a superficial or skin only tightening will have minor benefits and shorter term results but the size reduction is extremely minimal. Tightening and contouring the breasts will result in a sligh…

Will my breasts remain saggy after saline explant?

How do breasts look after removing implants?
Jun 19, 2018

Some women decide to have implants removed after breast augmentation. There are many factors that determine the final appearance after this surgery. The size of the implants, the location of the implants (under the muscle or above the muscle), the elasticity of the skin, the size of the native breasts, the degree of scar tissue (capsule) around the implant and the age of the patient. Of course, younger patients with small implants, under the muscle with small breasts, soft capsules and mi…

Do I have tuberous breasts or some characteristics of tuberous breasts?

What does a tuberous breast look like?
Jun 19, 2018

The patient in this photograph does not look like she has tuberous breasts. Tuberous breasts typically have a long, narrowed shape with an enlarged areola and a very high inframammary crease. Patients with this condition frequently have asymmetry and the breast tissue seems to protrude through the nipples. Patients with a tuberous breast deformity sometimes need a mastopexy to decrease the size of the areola and reshape the breast at the time of a breast augmentation.

Recommendations for products to purchase before TT in 2 weeks?

What should you have at home after a tummy tuck?
Jun 19, 2018

Comfort is important after a tummy tuck. There are several items that may be purchased for convenience prior to a tummy tuck.Fiber rich foods and gentle laxatives- Prevention of constipation is important after abdominal surgery. Because of the manipulation on the abdominal wall, intestinal activity is reduced and this is further compounded by the pain killers used after surgery. Eating small, healthy portions of food as well as easy activities such as walking will reduce bloating and c…

Transaxillary vs inframammary incision?

Transaxillary vs Breast incision for breast augmentation?
Jun 19, 2018

There are several direct incision on the breast for breast augmentation including Inframammary and Periareolar. The two most common remote incisions include Transaxillary and Umbilical. There are advantages and disadvantages of each. The Inframammary incision is the most common incision. It is very precise and is hidden well in the natural crease of the breast. The Periareolar incision is an incision at the base of the pigmented areola of the nipple and can be used to reduce the siz…

Can I get a breast reduction through my belly button?

Can remote incisions be used for a breast reduction?
Jun 15, 2018

Remote incisions such as those used for liposuction can be only rarely used alone for breast reduction because the standard incisions are used to tighten and lift the breast tissue. Liposuction incisions will only remove fat and will not do anything to tighten or shape the breast tissue and skin. Liposuction alone will sometimes result in an increased amount of loose skin and loss of superior breast fullness. Umbilical incisions are almost never used in breast surgery (very few pla…

Breast lift before kid(s)?

Breast lift before kids?
Jun 15, 2018

Breasts are certainly changed after giving birth and breast feeding. Sometimes the changes to a woman’s breasts are minor but sometimes the changes result in significant sagging, flattening, and stretch mark development. Because of the potential of skin laxity as well as the possible difficulty with breast feeding, it is usually best to wait until after children to have cosmetic surgery to your breasts. To answer your question, I would “sit tight and wait”.

Are breast implants possible for a patient with history of MRSA?

Breast Augmentation with a previous history of MRSA
Jun 15, 2018

The risks of breast augmentation are certainly increased with a history of MRSA. Resistant bacteria are more difficult to treat so a preoperative consultation with an infectious disease expert is helpful. As you questioned the risks of another infection, I wonder if you were treated with an aggressive enough regimen for your last infection. I would advise you to see an expert in infectious diseases and delay your surgery.

How safe are silicone implants? What is the healthy and safety difference between them and sali

Silicone vs Saline. Which implant is more safe?
Jun 12, 2018

Both silicone and saline implants are safe. Prior to the breast implant moratorium 1996-2006, the manufacturers of implants were questioned if breast implants cause auto-immune diseases. The studies have shown with over 20 years of analysis, that there are no increased risks of autoimmune diseases and breast implants. No other medical device has been studied, and is continued to be studied like breast implants in the history of the FDA. Scientific medical journals continue to provide…

What is the difference between a textured and smooth implant?

Smooth vs Textured Implants: Which implant is better?
Jun 12, 2018

Both saline and silicone implants are available in smooth and textured surfaces. Both implants are safe and both have advantages as well as disadvantages. First of all, the textured surface is a second layer applied to a smooth implant to allow for scar tissue to ‘grip’ the surface of the implant to hold it into the desired position. Smooth implants do not have this ability to connect to the scar tissue and can therefore move in the pocket. Some studies have shown that the textur…
