Sarah is awesome , I was very comfortable with my breast reduction procedure . She was very reassuring and her office called me literally hours after my procedure and throughout the week to check on me. I’m glad I chose her.
Dr. Hagarty is a wonderful surgeon. She is thorough, meticulous, and very caring. She has a great eye, and skill level. I would not trust anyone else more. She listens to her patients and their concerns, and won’t push you into anything unnecessary or undesired. Her staff is wonderful as well. I have not regretted my decision ever.
Dr.Hagarty took the time to explain all my options prior to surgery. She gave me time to make decisions and decide which route was best for me. She met with me again just before surgery to verify and go over the planned procedure. I was very confident that she would give me the best results, and she did!
I read stories here about woman who, while glad they did the procedure, claimed a lot of pain, nausea and complications. So far, everything for me has been great! I went from a 28GG to about a small C - I'm still sore and a bit swollen, but am taking just 800 mgs of Motrin and icing now. Drains are functioning well, I can wear my comfy t-shirts. Showered the day after the procedure and even took a look at the new breasts- a little bruised but progressing nicely. Very happy I did it! Don't believe the horror stories - trust your doctor, ask them the questions. Don't get freaked out by anything read on this site!
I had a consultation with Dr Hagarty to discuss bii (breast implant illness) and having my breast implants removed. She claimed there is no medical proof that bii exists and the only reason surgeons are performing this surgery is to make more money. Well I’ve been sick for years and my belief is that bii is real and I plan on having them extracted. I found a fantastic surgeon in Chicago and am excited for my surgery. Was not impressed with Dr Hagarty’s bedside manner with her opinion on this subject.
In some cases, overactive lip depressors, or dental issues can cause this look. Botox can be used to weaken the lip depressors, which then lets the lip elevator muscles lift the lip .
The infra-mammary fold approach can easily be done with a dual plane placement of the implant. This is very common. The periareolar approach is good if you also need a peri-areolar lift or just want to hide the scar there. The downside is closer to the milk ducts so there can be more bacterial contamination and slightly higher risk of infection.
Many women loose all support and elasticity of their breast skin after massive weight loss. The best option is to restructure the skin envelope into a smaller perkier skin shape, and then fill that volume with either an implant or even your own adipose tissue from liposuction from another part of your body. The long part of the scar is hidden where your underwire sits, and takes a little more time to heal, but the shape improvement just can't be beat.
Volume, Radiesse or Restylane Lyft can all be used in the midface and provide good support. They are frequently used to bring back a fuller more youthful cheek and reshape this area.
Going too big in skin that is already stretched can lead to more problems down the road. If you don't want the extra scars, you could just fill the space you have . If you do go that large, make sure you are wearing a supportive bra during the day and support at night.
