Small Hematoma on Right Breast: What Should I Do? I woke up this morning with this small blood blister looking thing just below my right nipple. It is the size of a pea and it is worrying me. I called my PS and he told me to pull back the steri-strip that was covering it, put polysporin on it, and cover it with gauze. I am worried it is going to get bigger. I do not see him till wednesday, should I be going in somewhere sooner to get it drained? Do these things heal on their own? I am only 5 days post op. any suggestions woudl help, please!

A: blister on breast

your doctor gave you the right information. polysporin and time, it will heal fine. These are common under steristrips when the surrounding tissue swells but the tape doesnt give. I have moved away from them for this very reason. You should heal well.

Is It Safe to Breastfeed After Getting Implants? before my wife do a breast implant, i want to make it sure. Can she breastfeed if she had breast implant? no matter with Saline or silicone. is it save for the baby?

A: Yes, breast feeding is safe.

After healing, it is safe to breast feed. You should follow the requirements of monitoring silicone implants with regular MRI's. Both saline and silicone implants are safe for breast feeding. A periareolar incision may slightly increase the chance of the operation interfering with your Ability to breastfeed, but not the safety of breast feeding.

Smooth Round Moderate vs. Smooth Round Moderate Plus At my consult last year, I chose to get silicone implants placed under the muscle, incision in the crease, but still not too sure yet of profile shape. What are the differences in final look and results between smooth round moderate and smooth round moderate plus? I want 500cc but i've read that under the muscle placement somewhat "flattens out" implants; because of this reason would it be best to choose 550cc so that the final result will look like a 500cc? Thank you in advance.

A: moderate plus has slightly more projection

The implants are mentor type implants, and the moderate plus will have slightly more projection and slightly smaller diameter for a given size. Your surgeon will measure your chest diameter and take your goals into consideration when chosing the implant, however I agree that the difference between the two should be minimal.

100% of Bethesda reviewers said Breast Implants was worth it

	“Excellent - Bethesda, MD” After breast feeding my first child, the size and 'look' of my breasts changed and I wanted to feel beautiful again. Who says a mom can't look sexy? :) So I had a lift and augmentation too; and my breasts look very natural. Many of my girl friends can't even tell I have implants. I went from a small B to a large C which fits my 5'7" frame better. I feel wonderful! more
	“No more "Fried Eggs" and finally...” Ever since high school, I have been the same size, a 34 AA. I am 5'7" and weigh roughly 150 lbs, so it doesn't really suit me well. I have been researching getting a BA for about 2 years now, and am finally getting it done in about 2 weeks! I want to achieve a fuller, more natural look, and become somewhere in the "C range". My clothes don't fit me well, and I am... more
	“Breast Augmentation Looks Completely...” I have always been self conscious of my small breasts, and wanted a better intimate life with my husband. I have no cons to mention of my breast augmentation; it was very worth it. My results are very natural, and my doctor and his staff, and the hospital staff, were amazing. more
	“Best Decision I Ever Made- New...” “Do it…. If you are reading this, you are probably trying to make a decision about plastic surgery. I was in your shoes too, except now, I have perfect breasts! :) But seriously---- Dr. H and his staff are FABULOUS. I’m a single mom of one, so I have to admit I was very worried at first. But, then you walk into their very relaxing spa- like office, meet the smiling staff,... more
	“Breast Implants Still Great 8 Years...” I had always been less than happy with my small, uneven breasts. I did consultations with nine area surgeons after extensive research in the spring of 2002. Many of them told me that there was really only one way to do a breast augmentation and that was very large. This doctor took the time to understand my goals and I never felt rushed when talking with him. He is very patient and willing... more
	“A Male Friend Who Prefers Natural...” [The amount spent is the total of two separate operations combined.] I first got saline implants back in '93 - I went from a droopy A cup to a modest B. The surgeon, who now practices in Dubai, was very conservative in his approach. He did a very nice job but I still envied other women who filled out larger bras. However, no one was able to figure out that my breasts weren't real.... more
	“Considering Implant Exchange from...” Experience was wonderful but now my boobs are a little to extreme now being a mother of two and they just get in the way.A year ago I have breast augmentation. I have 850 cc of saline in my implant and two kids later my breast seem to get in the way. I would like to get an implant exchange for 250 ccs. is this possible and what are the risks involved. Will my boobs ever look normal again?... more
	“Downsizing and Skin” Love my implant it is just big for my lifestyle. I wanted more fullness. I have to choose clothing well, because I am small and will look top heavy if I don't.I had implant silicone mentor 350HP in February of this year. It is too big for my lifestyle and frame (5'3 114pounds). I am waiting at least six months before I ask my surgeon to change implant- would like to change to 275 or 250... more
	“New Gummy Bear Silicone Makes Me...” I've had my new Gummy Bear silicone implant for one month. It's for breast reconstruction. I love it! I feel just like it was just like my own breast only better! I'm glad this option is available for breast cancer patients, and I'm glad it's so much safer than the old liquid gell silicone implants, which I had removed ten years ago for fear of a rupture. I had... more
	“Don't Even Bother with...” First of all, let me clarify--the amount I spent ($10,000) was for TWO sets of implants and two surgeries. $5,000 each. The reason I put the $10,000 was to point out the problem with going with too small an implant the first time and also getting saline the first time. I had 280ccs saline over the muscle the first time--I was a saggy, deflated B before and ended up a full 36C/sometimes D.... more
	“Better the Second Time” When I was 20 I just wanted to even out my appearance. Being 5'8 and 145lbs I always hated being bigger in my hips than my chest. I went to a doc in the Baltimore area and got what I thought were saline breast implants above the muscle. At the time, silicone implants were still getting a bad rap and I wanted to take no chances. I was only looking for a little cleavage & went from an A to... more
