Answer Header & Date

Answer Snippet

25F, 36DDD, 175-180lbs, Do I have enough breast tissue for insurance?

Maybe
May 24, 2018

Hi. You are on the right track with a consultation. Only an actual exam and insurance submission for approval will allow the correct answer to your question. Weight requirements by the insurance companies vary widely, you may qualify, ask them and find out. It is difficult to accurately guess the weight that will be removed during surgery, even for very experienced surgeons, it is nearly impossible to do so based on a couple of photos. Good Luck.

I had my breast reduction March 8 I am in recovery, my right nipple is peeling should I get worry about

Follow up needed
Mar 23, 2018

Hi. "Peeling" areolar skin could mean a large variety of issues, or no real issue at all. Be assured the vast majority of these types of things heal in due course.
A post op issues like this really requires a visit with your doctor to fully alleviate your concern.

Good Luck!

I’m having a Breast Reduction in two weeks but I’ve used a vape only twice recently. Will this mean I n

Depends
Mar 19, 2018

You should pose your question to your doctor or staff. While many surgeons would perform your surgery, opinions do vary. Only your surgeon can answer this question for you. Good Luck!

I want to downsize my breast implant. Would 50 or 75 cc make much of a difference?

Downsizing
Mar 12, 2018

Going with a smaller implant my help you toward your goal. It is always difficult to look at photos on a computer and know the future but implants of 250 - 300 might help you feel better. In your size range a 50cc change is usually not enough.
You could be better suited for a moderate profile implant.
Good luck!

7 weeks post op breast implant revision, constant side boob pain.

Common
Mar 6, 2018

Your provided history sounds like you had a capsulorrhaphy. Some patients experience protracted pain/discomfort with that procedure. It will resolve. Continue to follow up with your doctor and voice your concerns.

What would be the most affordable option for me?

Solutions
Feb 27, 2018

Hi. Sorry to hear of your difficult situation. You need to seek consultation with a local board certified plastic surgeon. There are many qualified surgeons in our area, It is unlikely that distant travel will be to your overall advantage.
In addition to costs, the possible outcomes need to be kept in mind. The most economical, most likely to be permanently successful, solution to your problem would be to have your implants removed. If that does not...

Will insurance cover breast reduction?

Yes
Feb 22, 2018

Most insurance policies in our area do cover breast reduction for symptomatic macromastia. There are some policies that have contractual exclusions. Many of those patients have breast reduction surgery on a cosmetic basis and are very glad they did! It is hard to overstate the amount of relief most patients experience.

Breast getting bigger 3 1/2 weeks after breast reduction

Follow up with doctor
Feb 21, 2018

HI. Concern with size following breast reduction is not unusual, but it is unusual for breasts to become larger at four weeks post op. Yes, additional swelling or fluid collections are possible, you should follow up with your doctor and express your concerns. Good luck with your continued recovery.

Are my implants settling too low? Also teardrop nipple?

Continue your follow up
Feb 21, 2018

Hi. Your concerns are not uncommon following augmentation/mastopexy. Your photos suggest your concerns are valid and it is possible that at some point a revision could be beneficial.
You should continue to follow up with your doctor, making sure to express your concerns and desires. Hopefully your doctor will respond and make time to completely explain the process and all the available options going forward.

I was told I needed a “boob lift” with breast implants. I’m not liking the scarring. Could I decline th

Maybe
Feb 20, 2018

Consultations will be required to obtain accurate opinions to your questions. This is a frequent and common plastic surgery issue. During your consult, try to focus on the anticipated likely outcomes with the available options to determine what is best for you.
Few patients want the scars of the lift procedure going into surgery. All patients focus on the resultant shape (not so much the scars) after the surgery, so try to learn what shape will most likely be obtained...

Can I get a breast lift with my 6 month old implants?

Yes
Feb 16, 2018

HI and yes, a mastopexy would likely improve your breast shape and contours. Consult with your surgeon, explain your goals and desires and listen to the available options. Good Luck!

Can I get a breast augmentation without a lift and still have good results?

Consultation Required
Feb 14, 2018

You very well might be able to obtain a suitable outcome with augmentation alone. You should seek consultation with an experienced surgeon that can help you understand how the decisions made will impact your outcome and how likely the result will meet your goals, with and without the lift.
This is a frequent issue and many surgeons will have crossed this bridge numerous times.
Good luck!

Is breast revision surgery an option for me? Can I get smaller nipples?

Yes
Feb 9, 2018

Yes. Your photos seem to indicate that many of your concerns could be significantly improved with a revision. The areolar diameter could be reduced and the scars revised, reducing the width of the left breast as well. Most of your goals would be addressed and you likely would feel good about the improvements. However, it is important to keep in mind that perfect symmetry is not a likely result!

Good Luck!

Why do most plastic surgeons want to use anchor pattern scar as opposed to vertical scar for breast red

Effective
Feb 6, 2018

Hi. Your question is good. The anchor type incision pattern allows the most versatility for a large group of body types. Yes, the scar is longer, but a large variety of breast types can achieve more satisfying results more often. Think of it as the power of the longer scars. The additional transverse scar allows for control of the vertical length of the breast. In practice the longer scar is seldom an issue after the surgery.

Is a lift REALLY needed? Which lift is best for me? Athletic 25 year old, no kids: I want perky breasts

Yes
Feb 5, 2018

Your photos seem to show that a mastopexy is indeed indicated. Most patients with similar preop photos will be happy with their mastopexy and will find the improved breast shape to be worth the costs and scars involved. Good luck to you!
