Long Haul Flight – I have a history of swollen feet and legs after long haul flights general

Flying post BBR
Apr 3, 2019

Assuming all goes well, July is a reasonable time to expect to be flying long haul. Surgery outcomes are unpredictable, and if you had a significant wound complication you might end up needing prolonged dressings etc which could interfere with your travel plans. Talk to your breast surgon about what their specific advice toyou would be.

Are there alternative options for me to get breast implants as a Jehovah’s Witness with no blood?

Blood Transfusion and Breast Augmentation
Mar 28, 2019

You have no need to worry. I know of nobody who has needed transfusion after augmentation. A skilled surgeon should dissect the pocket to put the implant in using one swab at most, so a few mls of blood at tops. Even in the rare event of a postoperative haematoma, you really only lose a few hundred ml – not enough for you to become haemodynamcally compromised or to need transfusing.

Is breast reduction by liposuction getting popular? What are the pro’s and con’s?

Breast Reduction by Liposuction can have suprisingly good effects
Mar 24, 2019

I have done quite a number of breast reductions by liposuction – often in older ladies, and several times post radiotherapy in cancer patients who have had lumpectomy and radiotherapy (in whom traditional reduction is risky as the incisions often do not heal well). Also in re-do reductions.
I always warn ladies that, whilst you can take away fat with liposuction, you dont affect the skin, so the droop (ptosis) of the breast may be unaffected; I warn ladies that they might need a delayed…

I have an open wound on my breast. I just got a breast reduction a month ago, what might have cau

Dressings and patience
Mar 24, 2019

Minor wound problems are not unusual following breast reduction, especially in the vertical scar, or at the T junction. This is the area where the greatest tension occurs in a reduction, and the skin / tissue is the greatest distance from the blood supply (which comes in down the inner and outer parts of the breast. Looking at your photos, the wound is gaping a bit. It will heal in the end, but that will be fastest witht he right dressings (sometimes a ‘negative pressure dressing like a PICO…

Can I remove fibroadenomas and have reconstruction with implants at the same time?

You wont need reconstruction
Feb 15, 2019

Fibroadenomas should be shelled out of the breast without taking any normal breast tissue. They compress breast tissue, not invade it, so when they come out, the breast tissue always (nearly) goes back to normal. I have taken out 12cm fibroadenomas and the breast has gone back to a normal size after, within days.

If you want implants as a cosmetic enhancement, do that on another occasion – I wouldn’t combine the two as when you put implants in, do as little as possible, to reduce infection…

Is it possible to have all breast tissue removed due to severe fibricystic breasts, then have implant

Surgery is not a good treatment for benign breast changes.
Feb 15, 2019

Bilateral mastectomy is a very severe answer to managing benign breast changes. Adequate pain management, with antiinflammatory gel, evening primrose oil and even referral to a specialist pain physician can help in almost everyone. Mastectomy is not recommended in this situation, and if you have implant reconstruction, you are choosing a lifetime of implant maintenance, repeat surgeries, numb nipples and breasts etc. Try to see a breast physician, or a pain physician, to manage your…
