I Have Spacing Issues, as Well as Periodontal Disease. Is Comestic Treatment Right for Me?

I'm 20 years old and have always had problems with my teeth. My folks never really made an issue about it just the regular dental visits and such. I've noticed they were spacing apart a couple of years ago and some are a bit sore like underneath my teeth. There's a constant itchy feeling but goes away after a few rinses using a strong mouth wash; i know i have periodontal disease and was wondering if I qualify for cosmetic treatment? I just want normal teeth like others have.

I consider the gums the foundation for your mouth.  It must be healthy before any major work being done.  Otherwise you compromise not only the result but the quality of the restorations placed on the teeth.  Many times there is a severe amount of gum disease that surgery needs to be done.  Or some teeth have lost enough bone where they are at risk of being lost.  Only after these issues are addressed would you be a candidate for cosmetic treatment.  Sometimes cosmetic treatment can not only enhance the look you are trying to accomplish, but also addresses the crookedness of teeth and allows for a better functioning bite for you to lesson the future risk of gum disease.  I would recommend you seek a proper examination with xrays with a qualified dentist in both gum issues and cosmetic treatment.  Especially if you have not seen someone in a very long time.  Good luck!

Are Implants Ok to Get for Someone Who is 24 Years of Age?

I am 24 years old. I am now a 34B i have wonderful curves and backside, however I am not happy with my breast size. Is there anything that i can do to increase my breast size without surgery?.. if so would the side effects be dangerous?

Generally this is the age most patients have breast augmentation with implants.  There are some surgeons increasing breast size with fat transfer to the breasts but this is not done that commonly.  Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

Do I Need a Lift 7 Months Post Implants? (photo)

Hello: I had a primary breast augmentation in July - 500cc smooth silicone under the muscle through the areola. Developed capsular contracture in my left breast and my right has dropped below the point where I liked it. I am also attaching a picture from before anything was done to me. I want both my breasts to look like my right did at 2 months after the surgery (refer to picture). Any way to achieve that without doing a lift? Why did the right drop so much if it wasn't droopy before? Thanks!

You probably need an acellular derma matrix on both breast.  On the right side for internal support and on the left side to help prevent recurrent capsule.  A mastopexy may also be needed depending on how things look with the matrix in place.  Donald R. Nunn MD  Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.
