Upper breast fullness
Feb 13, 2014
There actually is a new answer for exactly the problem you describe. It is the Refine Suture Suspension System by Refine Medical. The problem is right now there is limited availability. I have been using this suture system to achieve or maintain upper breast fill for almost three years. It involves placement of permanent sutures through two small stab incisions at the top of the breast. An anchoring suture is placed transversely under the pectoralis fascia and then two vertical sutures are…
Anyone with experience on Hydrasolve? I understand this is the same technology as used in removi
HydraSolve information
Dec 9, 2013
HydraSolve is a revolutionary new method of fat removal. It is indeed based on a technology that was developed by Dr. Mark Andrew to remove cataracts. The technology involves a much kinder, gentler method of removal through a process known as tissue liquefaction. Essentially, the fat, connective tissue, nerves and vessels are pulled into the cannula and an internal stream of warmed, pressurized saline hits the tissue causing release of the fat cells only. The nerves, vessels and other tissue…
Breast implants and pregnancy
Breast Implants before pregnancy will have variable results
Feb 22, 2010
This is really a complicated issue in that unless you have already been pregnant you realy don’t know how your individual breasts will react when your milk comes in. Most patients increase by a cup size with engorgement which in most cases won’t cause any trouble IF a reasonable sized implant was used in the first place– that is, one that matched the original breast tissue. In fact, the majority of my patients who get pregnant after having implants do well and probably come out looking…
How to choose breast implant size?
There isn’t a Santa Claus when it come to picking breast implants
Feb 21, 2010
Unfortunately, too many of my colleagues treat this topic as if "if you can wish for it you can have it". Allowing the patient to show pictures of what they want and try on implants in the office gives the patient the expectation that "anything is possible". This approach, as well as delivering "whatever the patient wishes for" is in large part responsible for the unbelievable 4 year reoperation rate of 23.5% for breast augmentation in this country.

Recovery from breast augmentation surgery
Rapid Recovery breast augmentation
Feb 20, 2010
Breast augmentation can be done with little to no downtime. By utilizing careful surgical technique and having the patient do postoperative stretching exercises every hour, patients can go out to eat and go shopping the day of their surgery, taking only Motrin. This post-op recovery program was pioneered by Dr. John Tebbetts from Dallas and we have used it in our practice for over five years. This is completely opposite of the "old school" approach where the patient is bound up,…
