I’m getting a breast augmentation but do I need a lift?
Breast augmentation and lift
Sep 24, 2019
Hello. Examining your pictures, you do have some ptosis (drooping or sagging) of the breast tissue and the nipples are pointing downwards. In my opinion, this would require a breast lift to correct the nipple areola position and restore your breast projection. A breast implant alone would not correct your breast sagging, unless you perhaps had a very large implant placed over the muscle, but I would not recommend that treatment. There also seems to be a small amount of…
Sore spot on my breast approx a week post-op. Surgeon unavailable, what do I do?
Sore spot after breast augmentation
Sep 24, 2019
Hello, although it is quite expected to have areas of tenderness and pain in your breasts so soon after breast augmentation surgery, including bruising and swelling, these can also sometimes be early signs of a complication. I would therefore recommend that you contact your surgeon’s office and speak with his staff about your concerns. I am sure your surgeon has arranged for a nurse or another surgeon to cover his practice while he is on vacation.
What’s wrong with my breasts and how can I fix them?
Tuberous Breast Deformity – Insurance might cover the surgery
Sep 24, 2019
Hello. Thank you for your question and helpful photos. I’m sorry you’re not happy with your breast appearance. To me, it looks like you have a mild tuberous breast deformity, which is actually very common. It is due to some tight skin and tissue that does not expand enough to
allow the developing breast tissue to achieve a natural shape during
puberty. Since it is a developmental breast deformity, tuberous breast reconstruction is often covered by medical insurance, so…
Do I need a lift or lift with implants?
Breast Sagging
Sep 24, 2019
Hello. Thank you for your question. Examining your pictures, I see some breast asymmetry and some ptosis (drooping or sagging of the breast tissue). Both of these would be corrected by a breast lift and I would personally recommend an anchor type lift based on your breast shape. Breast implants alone would not correct your breast sagging but can be used at the same time as a lift if you want more upper fullness, central projection, medial cleavage or just more volume. Based…

May 30, 2014
Hello ashlwar84,Thanks for your question and a big congratulations on your remarkable weight loss achievement!For the best results from any post-weight loss reconstruction surgery, it is best to
wait until you reach your weight loss goal and your weight is stable for
several months. For most patients this usually takes between 12 and 18 months from the date of the bariatric procedure, but in your exceptional case it may take longer.Basically, you do not want to undergo major body…
What will the scar be like from an under arm axillary lift?
What will the scar be like from an under arm axillary lift?
May 30, 2014
Hello gem202,It’s a little difficult to properly assess how much extra skin and fat you have based on these pictures. From what I can see, it doesn’t look like you have a lot of extra skin and therefore arm lift surgery may not be necessary. I do see some excess fat in the armpits and upper back hanging over your bra line and believe you might be a good candidate for liposuction with some laser skin tightening (SmartLipo). This would avoid the lengthy scars of an arm lift, and has a much…

Heavy breasts/back pain. Breast reduction?
May 28, 2014
Hello j lady.I believe breast reduction surgery may be an excellent
option for you to help decrease your back and neck pain. Most patients
notice a significant reduction in their pain the next day after surgery.
Depending on your general health and other medical problems, you may be a good candidate for the procedure. Insurance will often cover the cost of a breast reduction
procedure but every insurance company is different. I recommend you read
your MassHealth Standard plan manual…

6 weeks post op of Breast Reduction, my breasts look uneven. Do I need to give it more time to heal or
6 weeks post op of Breast Reduction, my breasts look uneven. Do I need to give it more time to heal or is this permanent
May 28, 2014
Hello LynneIt is not uncommon for a breast to remain bruised and swollen for several weeks after a hematoma from breast reduction surgery. It is also not uncommon to have some breast asymmetry for several weeks to months after surgery as the swelling gradually subsides in each breast. But there are some causes of breast asymmetry that should not be ignored and need to be treated right away. For example, if you have a recurrent hematoma. I recommend you see your plastic surgeon to allow…

Hello.I believe breast reduction surgery would be an excellent option for you to help decrease your back and neck pain. Most patients notice a significant reduction in their pain the next day after surgery. Depending on your general health and other medical problems, the surgery can be performed safely as outpatient surgery in a surgery center. Insurance will often cover the cost of a breast reduction procedure but every insurance company is different. I recommend you read your health plan…

I’m 32 yrs old, F cup, and have sagging breast. What treatment would you recommend?
May 28, 2014
Hello polo03,Based on your history and photos, I would recommend at least a breast lift (mastopexy) to correct the saggy breast shape and lift your low sitting breasts. Depending on your desired breast size and the quality of your breast tissues, the breast lift can be combined with a breast reduction to decrease overall breast size and weight, or with a breast augmentation if you desire a more rounded upper breast and cleavage.I recommend consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon…
Do I have enough tissue to make round breasts with a Breast Lift without Implants?
Round breasts with a breast lift without implants
May 24, 2014
Hello Yvette,Yes from your pictures it looks like you have enough breast tissue to achieve a rounder breast with a breast lift alone. The amount of breast projection and upper pole fullness you would get from a breast lift would really depend on the quality and firmness of your breast tissue. If your tissues are still firm, you will get an excellent lift with a full round shape. If your tissues are softer (like after breast feeding) then you will still get a breast lift but not quite the…
