I had a breast reduction 18 months ago with no implants. I am 65 years old. They aren't nearly as small as I wanted. After a consult today, my surgeon said he could not make them smaller but he could do liposuction to attempt to reduce the volume. I'm concerned if this is a good idea aesthetically. I wanted to be a B or small C and I'm still a 32DDD. Should I get another opinion or do the lipo or not? I would love to see pictures of someone who has had it
I am 72 years old, 5/3, 121 lbs In good health, not sedentary, but no regular exercise schedule. A recent MRI revealed rupture of one of my silicone implants. The initial implant surgery was 14 years ago. It went very smoothly and I had an easy recovery. I suspect the rupture was caused by a biopsy and was not in anyway the fault of the PS. I was very pleased with my result and liked the PS who did the initial surgery in every way, so I returned to him for correction of the rupture. He is going to replace both implants and do a partial capsulectomy on the one with the rupture. But I am also scheduled for liposuction of the sides, lower back and lower abdomen, as well as a tummy tuck. Trying unsuccessfully to lose weight. My surgery is in just two days and I am feeling really apprehensive. Am I nuts to be adding the lipo and tummy tuck to the needed implant revision? I realize I would be forfeiting the money I have paid for those procedures, but I am so scared I am contemplating doing just that. Should I be putting my old body through this just for vanity?
Are there additional risks I should consider because of my age? Can most of this excess fat be safely removed? Since this is an elective procedure, would any unexpected post-op complications requiring medical attention be covered by my insurance carrier cover? By the way, the rest of my body is not mal-proportioned.
I am concerned about saggy skin.. Will my pant size go down or will the saggy skin prevent that.. Can the skin go back to smooth. I am in very good shape. work out 5 days a week, but a 20lb weight gain do to my age went right to my gut NOt quite sure what to do
My Dr. thinks that Liposuction/tummy tuck wld help me tremendously. I hv scoliosis, w/dble twisted curve, I'm 68. Failed back surgery,then pain pump. Rmvd problems w/pump/meds-Morphine then Dilauded.
