Beverly Hills Breast Implants doctors

Hello Kells9,

I think you have done very well for yourself finding a doctor that participates in the 410 study and is also recommending the most appropriated sized and profiled implant for you.  Contrary to most women and many surgeons, breast augmentation is not about getting whatever the woman desires in cup size.  That thinking has led to the current abysmal statistics regarding national complication and reoperation rates: 25% of the 300,000 woman having breast augmentations performed every year will have a second, unplanned reoperation within 3 years.

BTW, the photo of the woman labeled 'ideal 1' has at least one complication that is apparent: She has asymmetry due to unilateral malpostition of one of her implants, specifically drop out. This is most likely due to the unpredictable tissue stretch that occured with these oversized (for her anatomy) implants.  I don't mean to sound paternizing, but this is not what you want.  I bet she notices and has complained to her surgeon.

Heed your doctors advice! No, you will not be a C cup, but you will have a nice enhancement with little risk of either early or late term complications.

Best of luck!

That is a known risk of having anatomic (or tear drop shaped) implants-They can rotate. If round implants rotate it does not affect the shape. When a shaped anatomic implant rotates, the breast  becomes distorted. It’s hard to get a good sense of what is going on from  your photos. If it’s simply a rotation issue, they could be repositioned (and pockets altered as needed) or you could switch to round implants. Each surgeon has different policies on the cost of revisional procedures. Some will waive a surgeons fee, and charge only the cost of implants, OR, and anesthesia. One place to look is your preoperative paperwork. Usually the policies will be stated in your paperwork.  I would definitely discuss your concerns with your surgeon and/or his or her staff. If email did not get a response, you should call the office. Good luck!

In your sitution the firmness may be from capsular contracture or it could be that the over filling of the implant has created some firmness. Your plastic surgeon should be able to tell you which it is when he/she examines you.
