Perhaps he is indeed slightly worried that a... more

Fibrocystic Tissue Only in Your Breasts

Fibrocystic Breast Tissue is a common condition in women and can make a Sub-Glandular Breast Augmentation  a more time consuming, but not necessarily a more tiring surgical procedure. Fibrocystic Tissue is limited to glandular tissue such as the breast and does not affect the subcutaneous (fatty tissue) tissue which makes up the extra skin/fat following weight loss. Based upon the information in your question, if you are a good candidate for a Breast Augmentation ( BMI... more
