Answer Header & Date

Answer Snippet

Breast Lift of Good Breast After Unilateral Mastectomy?

Symmetry surgery after unilateral mastectomy
Jun 15, 2017

You may or may not need a surgery on the unaffected breast. We can often create a very natural looking reconstruction, especially if the nipple is spared. I often find that with a nipple sparing mastectomy, I can position the nipple in a more symmetric location. If you do require symmetry surgery, it may be in the form of a crescent lift, fat grafting or a small implant (if you want to go bigger). Wait and see. You have options.

Are There Nipple Implants for Breast Reconstruction?

Nipple reconstruction
Jun 15, 2017

Implants with built in nipple are not available in the US. Nipple reconstruction is performed by using your own skin where a nipple should be. The skin is wrapped upon itself and sutured together so it sticks out like a nipple. Tattoo of the areola is then performed. Results can be excellent. Ask your plastic surgeon to see photos.

What’s the Average Recovery Time of Breast Reconstruction for a Mastectomy?

Breast Reconstruction Recovery
Jun 15, 2017

For implant based reconstruction, the mastectomy and expander/implant placement is generally performed in the hospital and includes an overnight stay. Most patients do not return to work for ~ 1 month. The second operation is generally 3-5 months later (unless radiation is involved in which case the wait is longer). It usually involves removing the temporary expander and replacing it with an implant and possibly fat grafting to improve the contour of the reconstruction….

Do Breast Reconstruction Tissue Expanders Cause Pain As They Expand?

Experience with tissue expansion can vary but usually no
Jun 15, 2017

Most of my patients describe a pressure sensation as the expanders are filled, not pain…. sometimes there is a pinch as the needle is placed through the breast skin and underlying pec muscle (if your expander is under the muscle). Patients who expand to larger sizes may experience more discomfort as the expander places pressure on the chest wall (it expands in all directions, to stretch the skin/muscle above the expander and puts pressure on the ribs under the expander)….

Is nipple reconstruction possible after radiation?

Possible depending on quality of skin
Jun 15, 2017

Radiation can leave the skin thinned. If the skin is thin, it may be best not to proceed with nipple reconstruction. If the skin is robust enough, nipple reconstruction can be performed and with excellent results. Please see your surgeon to be assessed. If nipple reconstruction is not possible, 3D nipple tattoo is an excellent alternative and can look very realistic. Good luck

Is it possible for a 15 year old to get a breast reduction to go from a DDD to a C?

Breast reduction at 15
Jul 19, 2015

After examination, it would be possible to assess whether you can go from a DDD to approximately a C cup size. At this age, we would want to make sure you have been at a stable bra size for a significant amount of time before moving forward with surgery. If your breasts are still increasing in size, you will want to wait before having surgery to reduce the potential for a revision.

Clueless About Botox; Will It Help my Frown Line?

Botox will help your frown line
Oct 16, 2013

Botox will help but because it took a few years to make the frown line deep, it’ll take more than one treatment to treat it. Generally, after a year or two of Botox (every 3-4 months), you’ll see the line soften. If a stubborn line still persists after Botox treatments, I often fill with a filler (this is safe in experienced hands). Make sure you go to an experienced physician injector, it can make all the difference between a suboptimal result and a full correction…

Am I a Good Candidate for a Breast Reduction?

Teen breast reduction
Aug 6, 2013

It sounds like you would be an excellent candidate for breast reduction. You can really have the procedure anytime since you have been at a stable bra size for many years. Breast reduction patients are often our most satisfied and grateful patients because the procedure restores confidence, it can relieve pain symptoms, and it will make your body and breasts proportionate. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and take a parent.

Could I Simply Decrease my Areola Size?

Decrease areola size
Aug 6, 2013

Yes, it appears that you have tuberous breasts. Circumareolar mastopexy will provide a breast lift in addition to decreasing the size of your areola. The addition of a small implant would help address the overall tuberous shape of your breasts if you desire to do so.

What Are the Risks Involving Breast Reduction Procedures?

Breast reduction
Jul 17, 2013

From your photos, it looks like you would be an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery. You will not only be smaller in size, with smaller areola after a breast reduction, you will also have a breast lift. The incisions pattern is that of an “anchor” (scar pattern around your areola, extending vertically to the fold from the 6 o’clock position of the nipple-areolar complex, and with a transverse incision within the breast fold). Consult with a board certified…

I Have Never Seen Any Breasts Like Mine! They Take over the Entire Ribcage and Still Look So Very Sma

Wide breasts with minimal projection- help
Jul 17, 2013

It is hard to tell from your photos (pushing the breasts together) what your breasts look like in repose. You may benefit from a moderate size breast augmentation if you desire more projection. I would also recommend a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a thorough exam and discussion of your options.

What Treatment is Best for my Breast?

Breast augmentation
Jul 17, 2013

From your photo, it looks like you have a tuberous breast on the right side. You would likely benefit from a periareolar mastopexy (which requires an incision around the nipple) with release of the constricted breast tissue and a small implant. For best symmetry, you’d probably benefit from a small left breast augmentation as well. You should see a plastic surgeon for an in person exam (I can’t tell if your left breast is tuberous as well) and to discuss your options.

I Have Tubular Breast, What Should I Do?

Tuberous breasts
Jul 16, 2013

It doesn’t appear from your photos that you have the typical tuberous breast deformity of high inframammary folds, constricted base of the breast, and herniation of breast tissue through the areola. You have some herniation of tissue through your areola but this could be addressed with a periareolar mastopexy. If you wanted to change the overall shape of your breast and achieve more upper pole fullness, you would be best served with the addition of a breast augmentation in addition to…

4 Weeks PO Following BR – Taking Keflex but Open Wound Appears Larger; Infection Symptons Not Resolve

Open wound and signs of infection after breast reduction
Jul 16, 2013

It looks and sounds like you need to see your plastic surgeon urgently in follow-up. With no signs of improvement after 3 days of Keflex, you may need a wound culture, further debridement of non-healing or devitalized tissue, and a change in antibiotic.

Fat Transfer to Cheekbones and Lips. How Much Fat Stays and is It True That Fat Takes Better in Young

Fat Transfer and Take
Jul 16, 2013

It is true that fat retention varies not only in studies but from patient to patient. In my experience, younger patients do have better “take” than patients older than age 65-70. It is safe to say that you may require more than one session of fat grafting for optimal results but at 18, and in experienced hands, you will likely have 50% or more fat graft retention.
