I had breast augmentation done this past Monday. At my follow-up visit my surgeon said that I had made him tired because I had a lot of fibrous breast tissue he had to deal with which explained why I am in a lot pain. I asked him if this fibrous tissue will contribute to a capsular contracture he didn't think it would. I would like to have a lower body makeover but I wonder now does fibrous tissue runs though my whole body and it would be riskier for me to have any future surgeries.
Fibrocystic Breast Tissue is a common condition in women and can make a Sub-Glandular Breast Augmentation a more time consuming, but not necessarily a more tiring surgical procedure. Fibrocystic Tissue is limited to glandular tissue such as the breast and does not affect the subcutaneous (fatty tissue) tissue which makes up the extra skin/fat following weight loss.
Based upon the information in your question, if you are a good candidate for a Breast Augmentation ( BMI < 30, Non-Smoker, Non-Diabetic, Normal Blood Pressure, etc.) then you are likely a good candidate for a variety of Body Contouring Surgery Following Weight Loss. Your surgeon was likely joking with you and she/he did not intend to worry you about your ability to have additional Body Contouring Surgery.
Good luck with your transformation!
I am 39 yrs. old lost 70 pounds. Had a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon recommend for best results a lower body lift as opposed to my originally planned tummy tuck. So far I have decided only on the extended tummy tuck due to fear that the lower body lift is more serious. He also said that I could come back if I decided to in the future to complete the other areas towards a lower body lift. What's the diff. between doing it all at once or seperately as far as safety? recovery?
The most transforming BODY CONTOURING LIFT FOLLOWING WEIGHT LOSS is a Lower Body Lift. No single body lift procedure seems to restore a patients self confidence as does the circumferential Lower Body Lift.
However, many patients do not have the financial resources or the recovery time to devote to proceed with the LOWER BODY LIFT. In my experience and those of other large University Medical centers in Pittsburgh and Dallas, a Lower Body Lift can be safety performed in a reasonable operative time with the appropriate surgical team. Be sure to choose a surgeon who has a team to assist her/him in the operating room to both reduce the operative time and to perform the "extra" procedures (Auto-Augmentation of the Buttocks) that will result in an outstanding surgical outcome. Other than your own weight and general health, the experience of your surgeon and the surgical team is the most important factor in determining a safe and satisfying outcome.
I am a 41 yr old female and I weigh about 285 lbs. My height is 5 ft 9 in. How much weight must I lose to have a Body lift?
I usually perform a lower body lift after a patient has lost about 100 pounds or so either through gastric sbypass or diet and exercise. That is not a hard and fast rule, however. What is more important to me is that the weight loss is stable.
I prefer to operate once all the wieght you are going to lose has been lost and you can't lose anymore regardless of your final weight. The more weight you lose the better the result. As long as your expectations are realistic we can then consider a lower body lift.
Good luck!
