Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Using Allegra and Flonase for allergies before breast aug, should I stop?
flonase and allegra
Nov 20, 2017
Hello, great question. you should check with your surgeon their preference but generally those are medications you would stay on perioperatively without issue. you may also discuss with he/she to changing to Singulair for allergies and stop allegra as singulair has been shown to be beneficial in preventing capsular contracture and is also a treatment for it as well.
10 months Post-Op BA : Pain in breast, just moved, where should I go first to gynecologist or to
breast pain
Nov 20, 2017
I would see a plastic surgeon first to re-examine you to make sure there isn’t an issue with the implant, check for a capsular contracture, and decide on further imaging. you may need to get an MRI study to get the best look at the breast tissue and the implant. this is a very sensitive study that may help explain your pain issues but it may also show everything looks fine. nipple numbness can occur after breast augmentation but you may have sustained a nerve injury that is…
Is my scar opening? 10 days post op TT scar revision.
incision
Nov 20, 2017
Your wound doesn’t look like its opening. you look like someone who may have issues with hypertophic scarring or early keloiding and if that is the case you should be supplementing your healing with things like silicone sheeting on your incision and possibly steroid injections to the scar. your surgeon should be able to assess this on exam and help guide you in that decision.
Can I separate TT and BBL? My surgeon wants to do the TT, BBL & labiaplasty first.
TT and BBL
Nov 20, 2017
Either way is possible but it would be an easier recovery on you to do the BBL, labia plasty and thighs first and then come back for TT and breast later. the main issue I would argue here is that you cant put pressure on the buttock for a couple weeks after BBL and begin able to lay on your tummy will make that easier. if you have BBL and tummy positioning after surgery is very tricky. hope turns out well!!
Which one do you think a tummy tuck or lipo, I want minimum downtime.
tummy tuck
Nov 20, 2017
Hello; based on your pictures you would need a tummy tuck with liposuctioning and muscle repair to give you a nice result. hope it turns out well for you!
Does alloderm and strattice help eliminate capsular contracture?
alloderm and capsular contracture
Nov 8, 2017
Good question. Some of the answer depends on if you are talking about cosmetic surgery vs. reconstructive. The general thought is that acellular dermal matrix (such as alloderm) can help decrease capsular contracture formation but the exact mechanism is an area of research and there is no guarantee this will effectively treat a capsular contracture. ADM is also very expensive product and not frequently used in cosmetic breast surgery due to the high expense. Other…

Rippling after augmentation
Nov 8, 2017
Great question. Rippling is usually more of an issue in thinner patients. The rippling will not likely resolve unless you move to a pocket under the muscle or do fat grafting. Fat grafting can be very helpful and is generally and easier recovery than changing the implant pocket. Its basically a soft tissue filler that is taken from your own body and injected to soften the appearance of the rippling by thickening the tissue there over the implant to camouflage rippling. The…
