Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I’m skinny and I want my breasts to be just a little bigger, but I don’t like silicone?
What to do?
Jan 3, 2015
Conservative size round silicone implants are probably the best solution. Anatomic or ‘tear drop” are stiffer and more likely to feel “fake” in a thin person. Any access incision on the breast is also problematic if the concern about no telltale signs is paramount. An axillary incision could be used to avoid this. Finally, new methods of fat graft augmentation without implants might be worth considering. This method, while still under development, appears…
Am I a candidate for a areola reduction or breast lift?
Very challenging anatomy
Oct 7, 2014
An areolar reduction and very limited lift are possible in your case. The biggest limiting factor is that the breasts are narrow and the areolar diameter is so large as to be almost the same as the that of the breast width. This means that there is not enough extra skin available that can be removed to accomplish a significant lift. While reducing the areolar diameter can be done, the nipple position cannot be raised very much. Placing a breast…
3 days post op breast aug. 385cc unders. I’m not happy with the size. They are too small and too f
You are probably going to make a change
Oct 5, 2014
Contrary to the other opinions expressed so far my experience is that patients who feel too small from the beginning never deviate from that perception as time goes on. This differs from patients who feel too big at first and generally become satisfied when the swelling subsides. That said, a 385 cc implant is by no means small and probably larger than the average size most surgeons use. There may be other factors operational such as wide chest or a round…
What kind of results can I expect to achieve on a dorsal bump if I just want to rasp it down under
Be careful what you wish for
Sep 19, 2014
The nose in cross section is in the shape of a triangle with the “bump” at the apex. Simply rasping the bump off will take off the top off the triangle and make the nose look flat and wide when viewed from the front. That’s why surgeons move the bones in to recreate the triangle shape after taking the bump off. Be careful that you do not tie the surgeon’s hands and end up with something different but not entirely better.
I had a breast augmentation 7 days ago. Hain has increased, surgeon was dismissive and I’m not sur
You are probably fine
Aug 2, 2014
You have big implants and the doctor had to make large pockets to accommodate them. If your skin was also tight this can cause more pain than usual. As long as both sides look similar and you have about the same amount of discomfort on both sides you are probably fine. Surgeons are more concerned about disproportionate pain on one side that could mean an accumulation of blood within the pocket (a hematoma). If you saw your doctor yesterday he would have…
I’m scheduled for BA and lift. Will 700cc implants give me a 38DD size?
Too big!
Jul 12, 2014
Please be careful in considering your size selection. 700 cc is almost twice the volume normally needed to achieve what you are looking for. Implants that large can overstretch the skin and cause long term problems requiring further surgery. Also, implants that large have very large diameters, something that contributes to an unnatural appearance.
If a filler is injected a short time before a “drains -requiring- Facelift” wouldn’t the filler oo
Fillers and Facelifts
Jul 3, 2014
I usually recommend waiting until healing from surgery is complete before placing fillers. The improvements achieved by a facelift often reduces the need for fillers. It can also change the emphasis for where they may be most effective.
