Answer Snippet

Alternative for metal sutures used to close tummy Tuck sutures?

Metal staples in Tummy Tucks
Sep 11, 2009

There are a variety of ways to close a tummy tuck incision. This varies form surgeon to surgeon. I usually close my tummy tuck incisions with absorbable sutures that do not need to be removed. Talk to your surgeon about how /she plans to close your incsion. Let them know that you have an allergy to staples.

Will breasts be pulled down during Tummy Tuck?

Pulling breast down by a tummy tuck
Sep 10, 2009

It is unlikely to pull breasts downward from a traditional tummy tuck. Most of the pull from a tummy tuck is on the lower half of the abdomen, well away form the lower border of the breast. Talk to your plastic surgeon about how much skin elevation from the abdomen whe/she plans to perform.

Breast lift recovery

Breast lift recovery
Sep 8, 2009

Generally speaking, recovering form a breast lift is easier than other cosmetic procedures. There is little discomfort that is often controllable with tylenol. You may or may not have drains; I usually do not use them for a lift.
I allow my patients to shower a day or two after the proceudre. I ask them to take it easy for a few days, then back to regular activity. I limit the use of the gym and exercise for about a month, but I alter that depending on how things are healing. Most patients...

Increased risk in combining Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift?

Increased risk of tummy tuck and breast lift
Sep 2, 2009

All surgical procedures have some risks. Combining two surgical procedures such as a breast lift and a tummy tuck can increase risks associated with bleeding, infection, anesthetic risks, and deep venous thrombosis, among other things.
Having said that, a breast lift and tummy tuck combination is a very common procedure. I recomend that you discuss the options and increased risks with your surgeon. Be specific.
Ask the surgeon how many combination cases he/she performs. How long will the...

Choosing the right profile implants for revision surgery?

Right implants for revision breast surgery
Sep 2, 2009

If you feel that your reconstructed breasts have too much projection, then moderate or moderate+ implants may be an appropriate choice. These implants can give you a more fill above the nipple line while providing a less projection. The two implant manufucters label their implant styles differently so make sure you talk to your surgeon about which exact implant and style he/she is planning to use.

Moderate or High profile for Breast Implant revision?

Moderate vs High Profile Breast Implants
Sep 1, 2009

It is hard to estimate what size implant you would need without examining your breasts. I understand that you have 10 year old implants. Do you have a signifianct capsular contracture?
Usually in a re-augmenation with a significan capsular contracture, I prefer to use high profile implants that are bigger than what is present. Because it is difficult to judge the right size implant after a capsulectommy, I usually use sizers to help select the best implant size.
Your surgeon is the best...

Breast implant type and size to go from B to C cup?

Breast implant type and size
Sep 1, 2009

You sound like the typical patient I see. If your dimensions are in centimeters, then it is unlikely that you would require a lift. Without looking at your breast tissue it is hard to estimate an implant size. However, I usually prefer either the moderate (Allergan) or moderate + (Mentor) implant for a primary augmentation. I prefer silicone gel implants beacuse I find they give a more natural feel with less wrinkling. In most patients either a saline or silicone gel implant will work fine...

Male body builder chest fat

Male chest fat
Aug 31, 2009

You may or may not have gynecomastia. More than likely you have a combination of male breast tissue and fat. There are many causes of male breast tissue. The most common that I see is anabolic steroid use. There are however other causes such as marijuana smoking, excessive alcohol intake, and certain medications.
Some tumors can cause this as well. Because in some instances the tumors can be cancerous and lethal, I recomend that you follow up with your primary care doctor for a full...

Will Mastopexy get rid of stretched skin from Breast implants?

Stretched skin improvement after breast augmentation
Aug 31, 2009

A breast lift (mastopexy) can reduce and tighten the skin that has stretched as a result of having breast implants. After the implants are removed, the breast skin is stretched and may or may not contract. A mastopexy may need be performed in order to tighten the skin. I recommend that you seek a board certified plastic surgeon experienced with this, as performing a lift after breast implant removal can be risky.
Good luck.

Best Breast Implants for saggy breasts?

Breast implants for saggy breasts
Aug 27, 2009

There are several options that incorporate breast implants to help sagging breasts. There is no best implant, but bigger implants (to a point) work better than smaller ones. Placing the implant above the muscle may give more of a lifting effect, but only in patients who have enough breast tissue. Your areolas appear a little low and large... you may be a candidate for augmentation with a periareolar lift.
My best advice to you is to seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon...

Which Breast implants result in natural slope and cleavage?

Natural results folowing breast augmenatation
Aug 27, 2009

I have this conversation with all my patients. Naturalness is in the eye of the beholder. Generally speaking, the smaller the implant the more natural it looks, but because the breasts aren't' much larger than what you started with. I always ask the pant size my patient wears as I try to establish harmony between the breasts and the hips.
Your surgeons plan appears typical. My preference would be to use the moderate (allergan) or moderate plus implants (mentor) but that is a surgeon...

Does excess belly flab have any effect on hernia?

Excess belly fat and hernia
Aug 26, 2009

It is unlikely that the excess flab will affect the umbilical hernia. An umbilical hernia can be repaired at the same time as the excess skin removal during a tummy tuck. I doubt if your excess skin will be covered by your insurance. Your hernia repair is usually (but not always) covered by insurance.

Risks from breast augmentation for diabetics?

Breast augmentation risks in diabetics
Aug 26, 2009

Diabetics generally have suppressed immune systems and less ability to heal wounds than non-diabetics, especially if the diabetes is not controlled. I am not aware of any specific studies that compared complication, infection and wound healing rates of diabetics and non-diabetics for this operation. I counsel all my patients to have their diabetes well controlled prior to undergoing any cosmetic surgery.

Advice for breast implant size after capsulectomy?

Breast implant size after capsulectomy
Aug 26, 2009

I think your doctors are recommending 500 cc implants to make up not only for the stretched skin, but also for the thinning of the breast tissue that occurs after 20 years of having breast implants. I do not have the benefit of your photographs, but I have an idea of the problems that will be corrected, especially if there is a significant capsular contracture. In order to remove the capsule, replace the implants, and get a good cosmetic result, more then likely a larger implant will be...

Saline breast implants incision site for best result?

Best Incision depends on your breasts
Aug 25, 2009

There are several options for placing an implant. I usally offer an incision either around the bottom of the areola or under the the bottom of the breast. Some patients will do better with on over the other. If there is a slight droop to the breast and a lift is a consideration, then I recommend placing the incision on the bottom of the areola.
Since any lifting procedure will require an incision around the entire areola, half of it is already there. If the breasts are fuller (b/c...
