Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
How Common is Breast Asymmetry Among Women?
Breast asymmetry is common
Jan 3, 2012
Most patients have some degree of breast asymmetry, although asymmetry of one or more cup sizes is less common. There are many options to correct the asymmetry you have described including enlarging the smaller breast only with an implant, enlarging both breasts with different size implants, and reducing the larger breast. Your board-certified plastic surgeon will explain your options, and help you decide on the procedure of choice for you.
Breast Surgery for One Breast to Correct Asymmetry?
Correction of breast asymmetry
Jan 3, 2012
Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like a reduction of the larger breast would be the procedure of choice. This may involve surgical removal of breast tissue with "anchor" or "lollipop" type scars, or liposuction with essentially no scars. Your board-certified plastic surgeon will advise you on the best procedure for you.
Im 5"10 and 150 Pounds I'm Really Slim on Top What Size Implants Should I Get?!
Choosing your implant size
Jan 3, 2012
Choosing your breast implant size involves a number of factors, including breast shape and size, base width measurements, breast skin envelope, and other factors. Your board-certified plastic surgeon will perform an examination and may also perform some measurements. Based on the examination, your surgeon may then recommend a range of sizes to choose from. You may then have an opportunity to try on some implants in the recommended size range to finalize your implant size...
Best Procedure to Fix Ptosis and Tubular Breasts?
Breast ptosis and tubular breasts
Jan 3, 2012
The photos you provided demonstrate mild to moderate ptosis with large areolae and asymmetry of breast size. If you also want your breasts to be somewhat larger, I would recommend bilateral breast augmentation combined with a "mini" breast lift where the areola is lifted and reduced in size while avoiding the vertical and horizontal "anchor-like" scars. Good luck.
Should I Go Submuscular or Subglandular?
Submuscular or subglandular breast augmentation
Jan 3, 2012
Breast implants may be placed in either a submuscular (under the pectoral muscle) or in a subglandular (above the pectoral muscle) pocket. An important factor to consider when determining implant location is the amount of breast tissue present above the muscle. Most augmentation patients tend to be slim females with minimal breast tissue, and in these patients submuscular augmentation provides the best result. In patients who have a moderate amount of breast tissue over the...
Do I Need a Breast Lift And/or Breast Implants? Looking for a Good Doctor.
Do I need a breast lift and/or implants
Jan 3, 2012
The easiest way to answer this question is to start by asking yourself "Am I happy with my breast size with a non-padded bra?" If the answer to this question is yes, then a breast lift alone will achieve your goals. If the answer is no, or "I would like to be a little fuller" then you will need breast implants. Breast augmentation can be combined with breast lift when the breasts are small and there is sagging.
Increase Breast Sensitivity After Augmentation?
Breast sensitivity following augmentation
Jul 13, 2011
Sensory changes to the breast such as increased or decreased sensitivity, numbness, burning pains, etc. are quite common after breast augmentation. Most of these sensation changes are temporary, lasting for several weeks or even months and should resolve in time.
Hard, Bruised, and Swollen 10 Days Post Op.
Hematoma
Jul 13, 2011
Looking at your photos, it appears that you have a hematoma of the left breast. You need to contact your plastic surgeon immediately for an examination. The hematoma may require surgical drainage to prevent future complications.
Time Off Work After Breast Augmentation?
Recovery following breast augmentation
Jul 13, 2011
Most patients are able to resume most everyday activities, including work that is not physically demanding in less than a week, even if the implants are placed under the muscle. For a hairdresser, 8 days off from work should be adequate, however you should avoid vigorous activities with your arms (as with blow-drying) for several weeks following surgery.
