I am confused as to what type of Dr. I go to for this. The Rippel Center (ultrasound after mammo) says that this lump is probably a fatty tumor but my gyno said I should get a specialist's opinion. A plastic surgeon or oncologist? Who does the surgery or biopsy on breasts with implants?
Great question Grace. The answer is that any breast lump identified should be evaluated first by a breast surgeon. This is a general surgeon who specializes in breast cancer. That surgeon may ask that a plastic surgeon also evaluate you if/when a biopsy is deemed necessary. An oncologist is not a surgeon and only would be involved in your care following a biopsy that showed a cancer was present. Good luck!
m a 34c and want to be a 38D I am 5'2 135lbs any suggestions on implant size I should receive. if this helps my measurments 34c 24 38.
Your final breast size is determined by the amount of breast tissue you start with plus the volume of the implant that is chosen. So, when patients hold up a 350cc implant and ask me, "what cup size is this," the answer is, "I don't know." There's no way for a PS to tell you exactly what cup size you will be postop given a certain breast implant volume. The best you can get is an idea. I, like many plastic surgeons, have patients try on various implant sizes preop in the office so that I get an idea of what volume they would like to achieve postop. The bottom line is that no one will be able to tell you what implant size to place based on the parameters you listed. All you need to do is have a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon and you'll be on your way!
I am 22years old and I had breast implants 1 year ago going from 32AA to 32B/C. Although they turned out perfectly I lost sensation in my right nipple. This did not worry me at first but over the past 2 months the area of desensitisation has increased and now the majority of my breast has no feeling. Also, the scars under my breasts are still quite predominant and at times sore and itchy. The appearance and shape of the breast however is unchanged. Should I be worried and if so what should I do?
Loss of sensation to the nipple and/or breast following breast augmentation is usually temporary. I wouldn't worry about it too much since you're only 2 months after surgery. Chances are that you will regain partial or even full sensation to the nipple/breast. It can take up to 2 years to really see what the final outcome will be. With regard to your scars--2 months is also in the early stages of wound healing and scar maturation. Everything you described is perfectly normal. I would go back to see your PS to determine if there are things he/she can suggest to accelerate the scar maturation process like over the counter creams, silicone sheeting, massage, etc. Good luck!
