What is the Best Implant Position for Tuberous Breast? (photo) I am 27 yrs old & a 36B. I have 1 son who I nursed. I am very athlethic. My PS says that I have tuberous breast & he will have to give me a mastopexy/augmentation. What is the best placement for the implant? Submuscular or subglandular? He says that the subglandular is better considering my constriction but I have heard that submuscular is the placement of choice when it comes to longevity, future ptosis and rippling/contracture. I want to go up to a full C/small D.

A: Tuberous?

I do not see a tuberous breast but rather a ptotic(droopy) one. I agree that you will require a lift to achieve optimal results however I do not believe that a breast implant should ever be placed above the muscle. The risk for long term problems with this method is much greater and I do not believe surgeons who specialize in augmentations would do that. Insist on going submuscular.

Do Breast Implants and Chicken Nuggets Share Ingredients? I saw a string of retweets on Twitter about Chicken McNuggets and breast implants containing the same ingredient -- Polydimethylsiloxane, also referred to as dimethylpolysiloxane. It appears McDonald's does list this as an ingredient in their nuggets -- is it also used in breast implants?

A: Silicone in everyday life

Silicone is in virtually every product you use on a daily basis. It is what makes expensive facial creams feel nice, deodorants spread nicely and hair products produce smooth effects. It is in every makeup product as well. It is pretty much ubiquitous you can find it in everything! The molecule you are referring to is just one of the many that exist in breast implants and many consumer products.

All the best,

Is Local Anesthesia Safe? What Can I Expect During Surgery? First off I want to thank all the advice I got on my last question! A lot of you advised me not to go 800cc HP saline.. After talking to my PS he also agreed so we have agreed on 700cc Mod+ Saline(under muscle) :) Now with that said my PS uses Local Anesthesia (he mentioned something about versed) I just don't want to wake up and PS still doing my surgery!? Or I feel anything?!

A: Breast Augmentation Decisions

First off, be very leary of such a large size implant. I'm sure you have a clear idea of what you want, but when the size is greater than 400 cc, the chance of complications goes up. As for your question, local with IV sedation can be successful in experienced hands. Your best move is to really do your homework regarding the surgeon and talk to some patients.

	“Sillicone Implants and Lift on...” I did this surgery cause my breasts have always been kind of deformed and lopsided. I Had Surgery in November 2010 and now had it revised in August.

There was significant improvement but they were still very asymmetrical. I recently had a revision... more
	“I like the size but I wanted more...” Hey! I am 19yrs old, 5'3, 120lbs. I started off with a 34B and am now a 34D.

My breasts were small to begin with but I think I should have had a better result because they were pretty even and perky. My Implants now look a little uneven (one is droopier than the other) and overall, I guess... more

He didn't listen to my concerns, and I ended up being right about my body, and he was wrong.After explaining that I produced hypertrophic, borderline keloid, scars and that I was more comfortable having a trans-axillary scar, he told me I was "paranoid" and that if I w more
