Can I Nurse After Breast Augmentation?

I am 30 years old with almost no breast tissue even before pregnancies. I would like to get breast augmentation to be an average size (5'4" 115 lbs) but I'm planning on having more children. Is it okay to get implants before I finish having children if I am planning on nursing them? If so, how long do I need to wait before I get pregnant after getting implants? Can I get implants during pregnancy? Would nursing make a diff. in the size I should choose? type of implant? and incision location?

Breast implants and breast feeding questions are very common. Mainly because many women undergo breast augmentaation at child bearing age.  To answer your questions: yes it is fine to have breast augmentation before having children. Most women who were able to breast feed before breast augmentation will be able to do that after augmentation. You definilt can not get implants during pregnancy. nursing should not make a difference in the size of implant you choose. The size of the implants depends on what your body can accomodate and what you desire. You need a consultation with a plastic surgeon to address all these questions. you can also visit my website for more information.

Do I Look Like a Good Candidate for a TT with Muscle Repair and Lipo to Flanks? (photo)

Will i have good results with a full TT with muscle repair and lipo of the flanks.And a BA with Silicone implants under muscle but not sure what size to get any info would be helpful thank you

From the information you provided, i think you are a good candidate for tummy tuck. While abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, surgery is not an alternative to a healthy weight loss program, it can be a great option for those looking to trim down their midsections and give the abdominal area a tighter, more toned aesthetic. Patients requesting abdominoplasty are often relatively physically fit but suffer from loose, excess skin brought on by pregnancy, weight loss, or a genetic predisposition. A tummy tuck addresses these stubborn leftover fat deposits in the abdominal region that you simply can't get rid of, no matter how hard you try. 

A flat and toned abdomen is something many women strive for through exercise and weight control. These methods help reducing the fat and toning the muscles, but will not get rid of the excess skin.

Even individuals of otherwise normal body weight and proportion can develop an abdomen that protrudes or is loose and sagging. The most common causes of loose saggy abdomen include:

Pregnancy
Significant fluctuations in weight
Aging
Prior surgery
Tummy tuck surgery is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else's desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.

In general, Candidate for tummy tuck:

You are physically healthy and at a stable weight
You have realistic expectations
Completed your family
You do not smoke
Although the results of an abdominoplasty procedure are technically permanent, the positive outcome can be reduced by significant fluctuations in your weight. For this reason, individuals who are planning significant weight loss or women who may be considering future pregnancies are advised to postpone tummy tuck.

When Should an Umbilical Hernia be Repaired, if a Surgeon Does Not Repair It During a TT?

There is no doubt that during tummy tuck is the best time to repair the umbilical hernia. In some instances when the plastic surgeon does not do the hernia repair they will ask and general surgeon to do during tummy tuck.
