When do the nipples look normal after BA?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

I am sorry you are displeased with the outcome of your procedure currently. I am unsure how far post-operation you are, and there are no photos provided to help examine the breasts. But if you are still early in the post-op healing process (1week - 12 weeks) then an asymmetric nipple is extremely common. Your results are not final until the fourth (up to 6th) month after surgery at least. There is lots of normal asymmetric swelling going on that causes many patients to become worried they will look unnatural perminantely, almost always they are still healing. Your implants will eventually loosen the still tight muscles and tissues inside your breast pocket, causing the implant to drop and fill out the breast pocket to achieve a natural look that you desire. 
Best wishes.

Labiaplasty in Cleveland Ohio

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Hello and thank you for your question. There is most likely a plastic surgeon in your area that is a labiaplasty specialist that you could set up a consultation with. It is preferred to find a board certified specialist as this doctor will have a much higher chance for a favorable outcome, but remember no results can be guaranteed. You should not be embarrassed by the appearance of your labia as an enlarged labia minora is very common. I recommend doing your best to find a plastic surgeon based on their experience and past surgical results instead solely on price. Research the procedure! Know what goes into reducing the labia and the different methods used by plastic surgeons (wedge, trim method). Having a grasp of this will make it easier to communicate your goals and concerns to your surgeon. 
Best wishes.

As other doctors have noted, this is the plastic surgeons call and will vary from location to location. If your current plastic surgeon is not comfortable with the procedure it is possible another in your area will be. Always ensure he/she is board certified and that you understand the risks that come with undergoing the surgery. It is possible the plastic surgeon asks you to sign a form that says you understand these risks.
Best of luck.

Hello and thank you for your question. Typically a plastic surgeon will recommend to a patient still producing milk that the procedure should wait until the breast are finished changing and most of the milk has dried up. This is because if surgery is done while the breast are becoming larger from milk production - complications can arise during surgery due to not having a stable environment in the body. Also, breast augmentation final results will not be nearly as good if the breast are swelled beyond what their size would normally be. If breast augmentation was completed now, in the future your breast milk will dissipate and your cup size will decrease leaving you with a smaller size than you originally planned for. 
Breast can sometimes produce limited milk for years after breastfeeding, once changes in the breast are complete most surgeons will preform the surgery after consulting with you. As always you should ask your board certified plastic surgeon what their policy is on this matter and what their advice is in this situation. 
Best wishes

Hello and thank you for your question.
Yes. It is possible. Through labiaplasty it is possible for you to get a reduction to most parts of the external vagina such as the clitoral hood or labia majora and minora. There are several different methods used to achieve a reduction of the lips but I cannot suggest one without a photo to examine. 
Most plastic surgeons have their personal preferences for reduction anyway. Now that you know it is possible, I suggest you find a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in labiaplasty in your area and set up a consultation exam with him/her. During this consultation you will be able to communicate your goals and concerns to the surgeon while also learning a little about the surgeon as well, in order to decide if this is the right doctor for you. 
Good luck!

Hello Pathy, thank you for your question and the photos provided. 
At three weeks post-op you are not out of the first month of healing, and final results are going to take up to 4-6 months to achieve. You had a small chest and chose medium sized implants, stretching the skin and tissues in your breast into a completely new shape. The skin takes time to adjust to the shape of the new implant and what you see is the middle of that process. 

If we compare the photos through your week by week timeline, we can see the crease underneath the breast becoming less defined and filling in the shape of the implant. If you are not having any major pain or symptoms I suggest all you need is time for your implants to "drop and fluff". 

Best wishes.

Can I donate blood two weeks after a BA?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hello and thank you for your question. There is typically minimal blood loss in a breast augmentation procedure. Blood cell count should not be a problem but all of the anesthesia drugs and all of the narcotic pain medicine should be cleared out of your system before donating blood. The only real way to know is to call the blood drive organization and find out how long until you are eligible after a breast augmentation surgery. You could also reference your own plastic surgeons advice when you call i.e. my surgeon believes in 6 weeks time all narcotics should be cleared and healing will be almost finished. Best wishes.

Hello and thank you for your question. 
I am glad that you visited a physician and that everything was deemed OK. I cannot tell you if you should be worried or not because there are no photos here for me to examine which is the least I would need to diagnose a healing incision. If you are worried I suggest seeing your plastic surgeon quickly today or tomorrow to ensure everything is healing properly. 
Best wishes

This is a singular doctors opinion. You are right that a person would not admit to this behavior, and someone discriminating patients in this way may not even realize that they are doing so. But, why would a surgeon not want to give 110% on every surgery? I will list a few reasons why a surgeon would want to. 
  1. Our patients are also our loyal, happy customers. They can even be friends. These are human beings going unconscious under my knife trusting me to do the right thing, and trusting that they will be awake at the end of the operation. 
  2. I am being paid. This is my job and a job that most surgeons have spent most of their adult lives working to achieve in a profession that lives and dies by the customer review and customer satisfaction. Spending decades learning how to become the best surgeon one could be, most have developed an immense sense of pride in the work they perform.
  3. If your surgeon is able to give you discounts, it means he can afford to give you a discount. This means he should not be discriminating against a patient receiving a discount, if he is the one to give it in the first place. 
  4. Experienced surgeons have performed operations such as breast augmentation hundreds if not thousands of times, it is our day-to-day life. There would be no logical reason to treat one patient better than another. 
  5.  I can't speak for every surgeon, but genuine smiles, hugs, and gratitude from a patient post-operation is what makes this profession worthwhile. Every patient deserves a great result. 
I wish you good luck in your breast augmentation and a great day.

Hello Christy and thank you for your question. At six weeks post-operation there is still some swelling that is happening in the breast, and we cannot tell their final shape until the 4-6 month mark when the implants should be fully settled. From what I can tell over the internet you have healed from the surgery nicely and will have a good final result. If you continue to have issues with asymmetric breasts and need it fixed, you will have to engage with your board certified plastic surgeon about revision surgery. Best regards.

100% Recommend, Best Experience

I cannot recommend Dr. Temmen and her team highly enough. I chose her over referrals from friends to other doctors based on reviews and my experience during consultation, and I’m so glad I did. End to end, her team made me feel welcome, comfortable and safe. She took the time to understand what I want and put me at ease. She’s also incredibly talented. I’m so happy with my breast augmentation, I only regret not going through with it sooner. Easy surgery, easy recovery, truly excellent and responsive team post surgery.

I love looking in the mirror now - never felt so happy with my body

Today is one full year since my BBL, and I can honestly say it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. Though I have yet to get a good picture of my backside, the way I feel about myself every time I see my stomach, hips, and booty in the mirror is indescribable. I've never felt so happy with the way my body looks. You've given me a confidence I've never had before. Thank you, Dr. Temmen, for your artistry and talent. Thank you Temmen Staff for taking such great care of me! -Kelli
