$30,000????

Scott E. Kasden, MD answers: Spiral flap vs. breast implants?

More magazine has an story: "New help for 'pancake' breasts, which states women with deflated breasts after pregnancy or weight losss can get an operation that is an alternative to breast implants.  It's called "spiral flap" breast lift. Says it costs $30,000.  Can you tell me more about the spiral flap surgery, is it more natural appearing than an implant?

I guess I have been charging WAY too little for the procedure!

The other thing to know is that there is a limit as to how big the breast can be made, and this depends on the actual breast tissue present.  Frequently with pendulous breasts, there is a lot less than there appears.  Also, the breast implant will give upward support, which is generally weakende in persons who have lost massive weight loss.
