I had lumpectomy on both breast about 14 years ago, both benign. I just had a lumpectomy again yesterday to remove a radial scar on my left breast, still waiting on pathology results. If it turns out to be benign, is the insurance still required to cover breast reconstruction after Lumpectomy under the Womens Health and Cancer Rights Act or does that law only apply if you have cancer/mastectomy? Thanks in advance!
Im confused about my options beyond basics (e.g., silicone, size,etc.).I want to minimize wrinkling and potential movement or asymmetry. I want to maximize upper pole fullness and to have the most natural looking and feeling breasts possible. My surgeon is suggesting Natrelle Inspira Cohesive. Are these too firm? My mom has very firm implants post mastectomy. I would like mine to be as soft as possible while fitting the other criteria. Any thoughts on these or suggestions on other types?
My expanders are currently filled to 350cc's. My surgeon says he can only safely do one more fill of 50cc to a total of 400cc. I have Mentor Artoura Smooth high profile expanders. Im 5'4 160lbs. How big of a cup size will this get me? How much can these be overfilled? I wanted to be a large c cup or small d and he knew this prior to mastectomy. I'm very upset. What are my options? Should I seek a 2nd opinion? I had a nipple and skin sparing mastectomy with no complications.
Ive been self conscious about my breasts since I got them. Can someone tell me if theyre just small or if theres some sort of deformity with them maybe tubular breasts? I m a size 32-34 A depending on the bras. is there a treatment for the shape that doesnt involve putting plastic in my body?
Hi. My expanders are very wideset which i assume impacts the little projection. Im worried about a few things but trust my PS that they will be able to correct when the expanders are switched for implants. They are 400cc expanders with 500cc filled. Was hoping to be a lot larger. Can the implants be brought in towards the center on my chest during the exchange surgery? And my second concern is the new pocket is much higher on the second side- can that also be adjusted?
35 year old female, I weigh around 8.7 stone. I had a double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction but I feel like there is quite a large cleavage gap. My natural breasts were quite close together so I know it cant be due to being naturally far apart. Will this settle on its own? Or is it something I will need to consider fat grafting for?
Hello, I have been undergoing breast reconstruction for over a year now. I recently had another revision done because of Symmastia. During my operation my surgeon noted that it was odd that my Mesh (acellular dermal matrix) had completely dissolved in a course of 8 months,. What happened here? And how long until this mesh is completely expelled from my body?
My surgeon put in teardrop expanders. Can I get round implants at my exchange? Also one expander is alot higher than the other and is going into my armpit. I look like i have two different breast sizes because of how there sitting. Does this need to be fixed now or can it wait until my exchange surgery?
