3 weeks post-op tissue expander, wait for 8 weeks, then DIEP? Or 6 weeks later DIEP and no tissue exp
no tissue expander
Oct 31, 2018
Kai2017,
without knowing your fully history, it is difficult to know the reasoning behind surgeon A's plan. Here are some potential reasons surgeon A might be thinking the way he or she does: 1) a DIEP is a much bigger operation with a much longer recovery. Perhaps surgeon A is giving your the option of the expander first in case you decide that you are okay with implant-based reconstruction and change your mind on the DIEP once the expander is in. 2) If...

April 13, 2018 I was rushed to ER and had a PE. I’ve been on blood thinners for 6 mos. When is it safe to come off the meds?
Oct 29, 2018
Sorry about your complication. The best starting point is to ask your primary care doctor, who can also get expert help by referring you to a hematologist. Good luck.

Age and breast implant surgery
Oct 28, 2018
It is quite normal for women over age 60 to be concerned whether they are candidates for elective breast surgery. I have performed multiple breast surgeries on women in their 60's and 70's with no complications, provided proper patient selection. Ultimately age is just a number, and the much more important question is your overall health and tissue quality. I have had patients come in for consultations who were in their early 40's, in poor health, and...

Revision of breast implants
Oct 28, 2018
Your concern is quite normal. Only you can ultimately judge whether you want to go bigger. Without photos, nobody on this website can give you that advice. If you are content with your current size, then do not go fixing what's not broken, because every surgery has a small risk of making things worse than before. Also, if your surgeon is fixing a bottoming-out situation, then a larger implant is going to increase the risk of recurrent bottoming out, so keep that...

Choosing the right implant
Oct 28, 2018
Your concern is very common and quite normal. Keep in mind a couple of things that could potentially alleviate your anxiety about your choice. First, a difference of 25 cc (which is less than an ounce) is very small; therefore there is no "wrong" choice in your situation. Second, when it comes to that small of a difference, the decision is often made intraoperatively by the surgeon based on your anatomy and what looks best on the table when they sit...
What's the worst that can happen with a cold and fever after missed antibiotics?
Fever after breast augmentation
Oct 28, 2018
It is very natural to be concerned about postoperative infection whenever breast implants are involved. The most common signs of breast implant infection are increasing pain in one or both breasts, increasing rapid swelling in one or both breasts, or new-onset redness in one or both breasts. Fever without any of the above three symptoms, is very rarely a sign of a new-onset breast implant infection. The vast majority of patients with breast implant...
6 weeks post op, why are my breasts deteriorating instead of improving after implant removal?
Breast shape after breast implant removal
Oct 28, 2018
Sorry about your postoperative course. Your concerns are valid and understandable. If you are six weeks postop, you are still in the healing stages with a lot of swelling, making it difficult to judge the final result. Implant removal, when done without a lift or without another implant placement, can sometimes result in distortion of the breasts due to internal scarring, history of previous breast surgeries, etc. Without having your preop...
Hematoma turned into Capsule contractor. Is my PS held liable for this? What should I do?
Capsular contracture
Oct 28, 2018
I am sorry about your complication. Capsular contracture is a known potential complication of breast implant placement. A hematoma does increase your risk of developing capsular contracture. A hematoma is also a known potential complication, of any surgery. It is not clear from the photos whether you had a hematoma versus bruising with swelling. As far as the "held liable" question: this board should not be used for legal...
Do I have tuberous breasts?
Ptotic not Tuberous
Oct 23, 2018
You do not have tuberous breasts. If you are dissatisfied with the appearance of your breasts, you would benefit from a breast lift (a mastopexy) which would address the ptosis (or sag) of your breasts as well as raise the nipple to a higher position. You could have an augmentation at the same time; however you say you are already a D cup, so you probably do not need an augmentation. The only disadvantage to a mastopexy is the scar. Make sure you see a board certified...
Am I still swollen or will I need a second reduction?
Breast Reduction
Oct 14, 2018
I recommend waiting until you are 6 months postop to see what final size you end up being, because at this point there is still some swelling present. However, it is doubtful that you will go down to a B cup from your current DD. If you have another appointment with your surgeon (e.g. a 3 month postop), you should bring up this concern to him or her. As an aside, although your reduction surgery did leave you on the larger side, the shape of your breasts...
Can a breast implant revision achieve a more upper pole fullness and lower the areolas?
Revisionary augmentation-mastopexy
Oct 14, 2018
First of all, your result still looks quite good, with the exception of mild bottoming out, which unfortunately is one of the most common complications in augmentation-mastopexy. Placing an even larger implant will make the problem worse, causing future bottoming out that is even more severe. If you want the bottoming out addressed, galaflex or another supportive mesh is not necessary in your case - your surgeon should be able to raise and reinforce the inframammary fold...
Can insurance cover removal of ruptured 35 year old silicone breast implants?
Medical insurance does not cover any complications of cosmetic surgery
Oct 14, 2018
I am sorry for your loss, and unfortunately the answer is to your question is no, it cannot. All U.S. health insurance companies (including Medicare) have policies that state that complications of cosmetic procedures will not be covered by medical insurance. If a plastic surgeon were to do this surgery for your and then submitted it to Medicare for payment, he or she would be committing insurance fraud, which could lead to him or...
Can a botched up abdominoplasty performed overseas be corrected in the States with insurance?
Medical insurance does not cover any complications of cosmetic surgery
Oct 12, 2018
What you are hearing your doctors say is not coming from them - it's coming from policies of medical insurance companies. All U.S. health insurance companies have policies that state that complications of cosmetic procedures will not be covered by medical insurance. (You can verify this yourself with your insurance plan if you want, by looking into their policies). If a plastic surgeon submits your case to your insurance for prior authorization, he or...

Capsular contracture
Oct 12, 2018
Based on the history and the photos, you may have capsular contracture, but it is impossible to tell with 100 percent certainty without a full examination. See your plastic surgeon back, have them examine your breasts and go from there. If your old plastic surgeon is not available, make sure you see a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive breast surgery experience. Good luck

Implant removal
Oct 12, 2018
Maria,
It is difficult to answer your question without seeing your preoperative photos. Based on what I see in your postop photos, your breast skin has been stretched significantly by the current implants. When the implants are removed, the extra skin may partially shrink back down if you give it a few months, but it is unlikely that it will go back to being exactly the same as it was prior to the implants. Most likely you will need some type of a lift procedure, or...
