Breast and areola reduction previously done - what can I do to correct asymmetry?
Revision breast reduction for asymmetry
May 9, 2023
Thank you for your question. Of course, there is no substitute for a formal examination. Having said that, these photographs demonstrate substantial discrepancy in nipple height and areola diameter. There also appears to be a morphologic (shape) difference in the appearance of your breasts. The overall shape of the left breast seems satisfactory. I think you may be able to achieve her goals with a right mastopexy (breast lift). There may be some consideration for using a permanent suture...
Is my breast reduction botched? How can It be fixed?
revision breast reduction
May 9, 2023
I'm sorry that you are unhappy with the results of your breast reduction. Although there is no substitute for a thorough examination, it appears that there is some asymmetry in breast size and shape. In addition the scars appear somewhat widened, and in the lower portion of the right breast, the scar appears tethered. I think you have waited long enough to fully recover from surgery before contemplating any revision procedures. Thankfully, most of these issues can be well addressed with...
Fear of capsular contracture. Does smoking increase the risk?
Smoking and cap con
May 9, 2023
Thank you for your question. Although I'm not aware of any data to suggest that smoking increases her risk of capsular contracture, there is lots of data demonstrating the adverse impact of nicotine on general health and well-being. It is very admirable that you are able to discontinue nicotine use during the perioperative period. Hopefully this can be the catalyst for more long term smoking cessation.
Breast reduction before or after baby?
Breast reduction after surgery
May 9, 2023
Thank you for your question. It seems that you are relatively satisfied with your current results albeit slightly larger than the usual would ideally desire. Your current breast implant is definitely on the larger size. You may benefit from downsizing your implant to something that you feel is more appropriate for your body frame. I would favor waiting until after pregnancy to do revision surgery, as breast lifts/mastopexy are sometimes required when substantially downsizing implants. This...
Need a second reduction. What are the risks for a second one?
Revision breast reduction
May 9, 2023
Thank you for your question. Although not very common, it is not unusual to have secondary growth spurts inured 20s. This can be associated with increase in breast size. It's important not to focus on the cup size, but rather the appearance of her breasts relative to the rest of her torso. Having said that, it is relatively safe to consider a secondary breast reduction. Ideally the surgeon performing this operation would know details of the prior procedure in order to ensure safe outcomes....
How can I have the dents and adhesions from my breast explant corrected?
Contour Irregularities After Explant
Sep 10, 2019
Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon to have some contour irregularities in the breasts after undergoing implant removal, particularly if an en bloc capsulectomy has been performed. It is hard to know if these changes in your breast will be permanent, this early after surgery. Deep tissue massage may be helpful to break up early scar tissue. Depending on the degree of the deformity, one may consider a mastopexy (breast lift) to release scar and improve contour...
Can a back massage with her stepping on my back rupture my silicone 385cc implants?
Can a back massage with her stepping on my back rupture my silicone 385cc implants?
Sep 24, 2018
Hello and thank you for your question.
It would be very unlikely for your implant to have ruptured during a massage, even with extremely forceful pressure. If you are very concerned about implant rupture, either an ultrasound or an MRI can be performed. MRI is the gold standard imaging study to rule out silicone breast implant rupture. The FDA recommends that women undergo MRI evaluation of silicone implants three years after implantation and every two years thereafter...
Is the hole/necrotic skin going to get any bigger?
Is the hole/necrotic skin going to get any bigger?
Sep 24, 2018
I am sorry that you are having difficulties with your recovery following abdominoplasty.
Judging by the photographs that you have submitted, it appears that you have had a complication resulting from inadequate blood supply to this area. It appears that there may still be some necrotic fat at the base of the open wound. However, these photographs are not a good substitute for thorough physical examination.
Any devitalized tissue can be removed, in the office setting, with...
Will I need a tummy tuck and lipo and will I get good results?
Will I need a tummy tuck and lipo and will I get good results?
Sep 24, 2018
Thank you for your question, and congratulations on the weight loss.
Based on the photographs that you have provided, it appears that you are an acceptable candidate to consider a full abdominoplasty with supplemental liposuction. It is feasible to perform judicious liposuction of the skin flap and more aggressive liposuction of the flanks in order to optimize results.
Most optimal and durable results are accomplished when patients are closer to their ideal weight at the time of surgery....
Does it hurt when your breasts drop after surgery?
Does it hurt when your breasts drop after surgery?
Sep 21, 2018
Hello and thank you for your question.
There is generally not much in the way of pain beyond a week after surgery. If you are experiencing pain, it is important to report this to your surgeon.
Some surgeons will ask patients to manipulate the implants (displacement exercises) to keep the implants moving in the pocket and/or encourage the implants to “settle” into a different location. Recommendations for these maneuvers are generally tailored to the specific needs of each individual pat...
Is it true that you can lose a size getting a lift?
Is it true that you can lose a size getting a lift?
Sep 18, 2018
Hello,
Thank you so much for your question. Generally, breast size remains the same following breast lift (mastopexy).
The operation involves removing excess skin and reshaping the breast, providing an uplifted appearance. In addition, the nipple is generally repositioned higher on the breast, giving a more youthful appearance to the breast.
Since breast tissue is generally not removed, breast size remains the same. However, the uplifted, more...
Can a fat transfer to the breast, lipo and BBL be performed during the same surgery?
Simultaneous liposuction, and fat transfer to the breasts and buttocks
Jul 13, 2017
It is feasible to perform simultaneous liposuction with breast and buttock fat transfer in the same setting, provided that there is adequate donor site fat to augment both anatomic locations. It is important that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon, with experience in these procedures, who can advise you on the best course of care that will meet your individual goals and expectations. In addition, you should be aware of the specific risks involved, and...
