Are gummy implants safer than silicone implants? Which one is better? And why? What are the differences?

are gummy bear implants safer?
Jun 22, 2015

Gummy bear implants, which plastic surgeons refer to as anatomic highly cohesive gel implants, are the newest generation of silicone implants. it is incorrect to say that they are safer. they have a lower rate of capsular contracture compared to the typical round silicone implants. but they have a higher risk of implant rupture and rotation compared to round implants. They are also firmer and not as natural feeling as round implants. nevertheless, they are a great choice for certain patients…

What kind of breast lift do I need and should I wait to lose more weight before a tummy tuck?

Best timing to undergo tummy tuck and breast lift
May 3, 2015

You should be very proud of your weight-loss. Keep up the good work. In regards to the tummy talk you should reach your target weight before doing the surgery. Extra fat and skin on one side can usually be dealt with even without liposuction. You will definitely need a lollipop scar for your breast lift. Even with an implant you will need this in order to obtain an effective long-lasting lift. Good luck

Has my right breast bottomed out?

bottomed out implant
Apr 17, 2015

You are correct in your assessment, as are the answers of the other surgeons. Your implant has bottomed out slightly. This has caused the scar to ride up on the breast. This is due to the inframammary fold fibers having stretched out. It could continue to get worse but no always. The most effective surgery to fix this would be to reconstruct the lower fold of the breast with acellular dermis (eg. Strattice or Alloderm) or Seri Silk. Good luck

What could the fluid surround my breast implant be caused from?

late seroma
Apr 17, 2015

What you have is called a late seroma. it is uncommon but something we see from time to time. You will undoubtedly need to have a surgery: either replacement of your implants or removal without replacement.at that time, the fluid (seroma) should be sampled and sent to a pathologist to make sure that there are no abnormal cells (specifically, called ALCL). I think it makes sense to try and aspirate (use a need to suck out fluid through the skin) fluid before the surgery to see if there are…

What are the best procedures to take care of my double bubble? It’s been almost 5 months since my surger

Correction of a double bubble deformity
Nov 8, 2014

I’m sorry to hear about your situation. This is a fixable problem. It requires the use of acellular dermis or a similar type of product to reconstruct the lower fold of your breast.The problem occurred because the inframammary fold was disrupted during your breast augmentation. This is a complicated repair and you should definitely seek out unexperienced plastic surgeon who is comfortable dealing with these kinds of problems. Materials commonly used to correct it include Alloderm,…

Tummy tuck and muscle repair without general anesthesia due to medical condition of throat (paralyzed le

tummytuck and liposuction done under sedation
Nov 8, 2014

Thank you for your question. It is definitely possible to do a Tummytuck and Liposuction and under conscious sedation and not general anesthesia. I have done many of these. Many articles have been published in the plastic surgery scientific literature about the safety of such procedures including one by myself several years ago. I have a lot of experience doing this and think that in many cases it is very safe and has severa advantages. You should definitely be able to find a plastic…

Doctor doesn’t show pictures. Should I be concerned?

Tummytuck question
Sep 5, 2014

Just the fact that you are writing to other plastic surgeons to ask for their advice about this issue means that you realize something is odd about a surgeon not showing before and after photographs. A good, experienced plastic surgeon will have many before and after photographs showing his or her best results. Patient confidentiality is just an excuse. One can show photographs of patients abdomens with no recognizable features and still protect their patients confidentiality. …

Trying to decide how many cc’s to get.. I am 4’11 100lbs currently a 36b… I want to be a DD.

Determining implant size
Aug 4, 2014

The primary determinant of the implant size you can use is the width of your breast. In general the implant should not be wider than your breast. In order to be a double D cup size you’re probably going to need a high-profile implant in the 450 cc range. Based on your height and chest with a medium profile implant will be too wide for you. Bring in pictures with you to your consultation of breasts that you like their size and shape. Good luck

Can a muscle repair be broken after a year and a half surgery?

muscle repair failing after tummytuck
Jun 17, 2014

It appears from your photos that your muscles have stretched out after surgery. This is termed a rectus diastasis. It can be redone by going back in through your incision. Why this occurred is not clear. It’s possible the suture used tore or unraveled. It can also occur after weight gain or pregnancy. Good Luck.

Teen with uneven breast development

teenager with breast asymmetry
May 16, 2014

As a parent myself, I can understand your concerns.First, you have to wait until your daughter has finished developing before considering any surgery. This will be anywhere between the ages of 17-21. At that point she can decide if the difference between her two breasts bothers her enough to undergo surgery. The best option for her will entirely depend on how her breasts look at that age. Make sure to take her to a board certified plastic surgeon who knows the full array of approaches…

Is that true that Implant placed under the muscle ends up looking smaller?

do implants under the muscle look smaller?
May 16, 2014

You ask a great question. I would tend to agree that an implant under the muscle looks slightly smaller than one on top of the muscle. It also looks more “natural” or rather, less augmented. As for the size, it is best to look at photos of women who have implants under the muscle in order to compare yourself (before surgery) to their preop photos. If you are trying on implants in a bra or shirt to get an idea of the size, I agree that if you like the way 375 cc looks, you may want to go 400…

What is the best procedure for correcting asymmetrical tuberous breasts?

correction of tuberous breasts
May 16, 2014

I think you are correct to be concerned when one surgeon says it is simple and the other says it is complicated. I agree that it is a complicated surgery. The surgery has two parts. The first part is the “lift” and correction of your tuberous breasts. This will require areola reduction and most likely a vertical scar that will result in a “keyhole” scar. But the scars are totally worth the improved shape. This first procedure would also involve making the two breasts the same size and…

How much is fat grafting?

Breast asymmetry
Mar 13, 2014

I don’t think that that grafting is the right answer for you. I think that more of your muscle has to be released. There are still fibers of your pectoralis muscle that are preventing your saline implant from sitting in the proper position. If the pocket in which the implant sits is not at least the size of the implant diameterthen part of the implant will get pushed and distorted.

What do you think would make my abdomen flat again?

Bulging abdomen
Mar 13, 2014

You are in great shape. You have no excess skin or fat but have a lot of laxity to your rectus muscles. You also have a bellybutton hernia. I would recommend fixing this through a very low incision hidden in your bikini line. The hernia could be fixed at the same time and could even be covered by insurance.

Will My Breasts Even Out?!

breasts are uneven after surgery
Mar 5, 2014

It is way too early to tell if there is an issue. Your surgeon picked two different sized implants because he thought your breasts were different sizes before the surgery. I would just be patient and give it time. I would wait at least 12 weeks before judging any size discrepancies.
