Breasts to big after augmentation ?
Aug 13, 2018
Hello,
You are very early on in your healing process. After some weeks time, they should drop and settle, and you will get a better idea of what they will look like. You did get a good size implant, and it looks like you had a large amount of tissue to start with. In 6 months to one year, if you are truly unhappy with the size, downsizing is an option. Please discuss any concerns with your plastic surgeon. Also, be patient with yourself and healing. They look great during this stage in the...
Symmastia? Over-dissection? What could this be? BA on 21st May.
Breast implants too close ?
Aug 13, 2018
Hello,
Based on your photos, it’s hard to say if a true symmastia is present. They do look very close together. Your plastic surgeon may have been trying to give you good clevage. If you love them, it may be best to leave them alone. Only an in office exam will tell if your implants cross Over into the other pocket. There’s still swelling and healing that needs to take place. I would Express your concerns with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes !

Enough fat for BBL
Aug 13, 2018
Hello,

Aug 13, 2018
Hello,
The results do look great. I would say this technique isn’t as common as the others, but is still used sometimes. Only your doctor can answer to why they chose this incision. Speedy recovery!
According to this site and my doc, this is common at T-incision. What's the average time before
Wound healing after breast surgery
Aug 13, 2018
Hello,

That is a common site for delayed wound healing due to the tension put on the incisions. However, with the days coming it shouldn’t be getting worse. If it is continually leaking and getting wider as you mention, you should get in to see your plastic surgeon as soon as you can. Although these usually heal with no problem , there could be other things going on , such as infection. It’s better to be safe and let you’re doctor see you in person! Best wishes .

Can I have a breast reduction after having implants put in like 7 years ago?
Reduction after implants
Aug 6, 2018
Hello,
Without an office exam, it’s hard to say what you need. However, when implants are removed, there is generally skin laxity. A lift can be performed at the same time to help offset this. If you have enough breast tissue and wish to be smaller , a reduction can be performed instead. Please visit a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your wishes ! Good luck .

you are still very early on in the healing process. It is normal to be swollen at this point, and for a few more weeks after. Be patient with your body as it is still healing. Discuss any concerns with your plastic surgeon at your next visit, but it looks like you are healing well! Best wishes.

Breast lift cost
Jul 24, 2018
Hello,
It is best to visit a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to get a consultation and discuss fees for a breast lift. If you wish to keep your current implants, all you will need is a lift.

Uneven nipples after lift
Jul 24, 2018
Hello,

It’s hard to tell at this point if anything is uneven due to both sides swelling and healing differently, and at different rates. In three months or so, you will be able to get a better idea of what your nipple position will look like. Talk with your doctor during your next appointment to discuss your concerns. However, perfect breast and nipple symmetry is not a...

Hello,

Based on the photo provided, it does not look like a normal result at this point in your recovery. It looks as though you may have a rupture or capsular contraction. Do you have silicone or Saline? Saline would deflate much faster than silicone. Silicone rupture’s may go unknown for a long time. It’s best to visit a board-certified plastic surgeon to get in an office exam to determine if you have a rupture or a capsule issue. This can be fixed with ano...
