Dear mfourie51,

Thanks for your question. Breast implants placed over the muscle (subglandular placement) can have a higher likelihood of sagging or ptosis over time compared to those placed under the muscle (submuscular placement). This is because when implants are placed over the muscle, they rely more on the breast tissue and skin for support. If the breast tissue is thin or the skin is not as elastic, the weight of the implant can lead to earlier sagging.

In contrast, implants placed under the muscle have more support from the chest muscles, which can help to prevent or delay sagging. However, the rate of sagging also depends on other factors such as the size of the implant, the quality of the skin and tissue, the patient's age, and lifestyle factors like smoking or significant weight fluctuations.

It's important to discuss these considerations with a surgeon when deciding on the placement of implants to ensure the best long-term results.

Best regards,

Dear curiousgirl24,
Thanks for your question. Yes, it is possible to have a fat transfer procedure performed on both the hips and breasts simultaneously. This type of surgery is often called a fat grafting or fat transfer procedure. It involves liposuction to remove fat from one area of your body (like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks), which is then processed and injected into other areas to enhance volume and contour. Always follow your surgeon's advice and aftercare instructions to ensure the best results and minimize risks.

Dear tt_pink15,

Thanks for your question. Yes, a rhinoplasty and a breast fat transfer can be done at the same time. It is essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your specific situation, medical history, and goals. The surgeon can provide personalized advice on whether combining these procedures is a safe and appropriate option for you. They can also outline the potential risks and benefits, helping you make an informed decision.
