Will 400cc Hp Silicone Implants Be Good For My Body Type?

Which size implants?
Feb 9, 2012

The implant sizes that are possible for your breasts does depend on the width of your breast. We have implants with different projections: the more projected/pointy implants have a narrow base so that a larger volume can fit behind the breast. That is why you have a range of possibilities. To get an idea of how the size will look on you, we can use 3D imaging software, which is not available in all plastic surgery offices, or you can try on implant sizers to get an idea…

Borderline Needing a Lift. Are Subglandular Silicone Implants Right for my Ptosis?

Borderline Needing a Lift
Feb 9, 2012

When you're in your spot, it is a tough call. You may find it helpful to look at before and after photos of patients with a similar breast shape after augmentation with and without a lift. Once you see what you can reasonably expect, you can make a more informed decision.

Would I Need More Than Tri Lipo to Get Rid of the Pouch?

More than Lipo?
Jan 19, 2012

It sounds like you have reasonable expectations. You know that you have separation of your stomach muscles and you know that can not be fixed with liposuction alone. The separation of the muscles will leave you with some laxity (bulging) of the abdominal wall. The liposuction can take care of what fat is on top of the bulging muscles. The remaining question is the overlying skin. A small of skin laxity can improve with liposuction or Smart Lipo due to contraction of…

4 Years Post-Op Breast Augmentation the Skin Over One Breast has Stretched Out More, Is this Normal?

Skin stretching 4 years after breast augmentation
Jan 19, 2012

It is normal for the skin of the breast to give over time and stretch, with or without implants, leading to a hanging breast or ptosis. Many women need a breast lift to tighten the skin. Your plastic surgeon would be able to examine you to determine how best to address your ptosis and assymetry.

When is Breast Liposuction an Ideal Option for Women?

Liposuction for Breast Reduction
Dec 13, 2011

Similar to other body areas, liposuction works well for areas of the body that are mostly fatty and have little or no excess skin. The skin must have good elasticity, e.g. no stretch marks, to avoid loose saggy skin after liposuction. This limits the procedure to women with good skin elasticity on the breasts, little to no breast sag, and to small reductions in breast size.

What Options are there for Fixing Split Earlobe?

Split earlobe
Dec 1, 2011

A split earlobe can be repaired under local anesthesia at an office visit. The skin around the split is removed and the fresh edges sutured together and allowed to heal. I always warn patients that if you repierce the same area, it can rip again. Stay away from heavy earrings and don’t sleep in your earrings.

I have Cone Shaped Breasts, Fat Grafting Wasn’t Enough, What Other Options are There?

Cone shaped breasts
Nov 29, 2011

It is hard to know without seeing your photos. You described cone-shaped breasts which may be what we call tuberous breasts. Tuberous breasts are caused by a lack of breast tissue and tight fibrous bands between the pectorals muscle and the breast tissue. Usually, to correct the shape, these fibrous bands have to be released. This is done at the time the implants are placed. Over or under the muscle can be decidedat th time of your consultation with a plastic surgeon. Good luck!

What is Best Solution for Breast Augmentation After Weight Loss?

Lift or No Lift
Nov 29, 2011

If you want to address the sagging, you will need a breast lift. You may be a candidate for a short scar breast lift, but you will need to consult your plastic surgeon to be sure.
