A: You need to be evaluated as soon as possible.

You should see a board certified plastic surgeon as soon as you can. This could be an infection and you may need further treatment.

Can I Still Get a Tummy Tuck and Breast Implants After Open Heart Surgery? I had open heart surgery 9 years ago to remove a non cancerous tumor. I have given birth vaginally to two chidren since. Can I still get a tummy tuck and breast implants now.

A: Cosmetic Procedures after Open Heart Surgery

The answer is a qualified 'yes' provided you are cleared by the anesthesiologist. He or she may seek the opinions of other specialists but it has to be the anesthesiologist who makes the decision.

What Size and Profile Implants Will Give a Softer Cleavage Look? After looking at pictures of breast implant results, I think I want to go for a round silicone implant, but I'm not too sure what profile I should go for, for a softer cleavage look. I have attached some pictures (Blake Lively) of what the soft cleavage i'm talking about. I'm not sure if it's low profile, or moderate or moderate plus. I think her cleavage is just perfect, and exactly what i'm looking for. It's very soft and beautiful. I hope I can get an answer from you. Thank you!

A: What Size and Profile Implants Will Give a Softer Cleavage Look?

Much depends on the choice of implant; ie how much tissue you have, what size implant you will receive, how far apart our breasts are to begin with as well as your breast dimensions. So there is no specific size and profile to give you that look- you need to have an in person consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to be evaluated and discuss your options. Good luck!
