Scheduled to have my breast augmentation in two weeks
I am scheduled to have my breast augmentation in two weeks and wanted to share my journey. I am 26 years old, 5'4, 145lbs, and currently wear a 34A/B. I have been insecure about my boobs since high school and finally decided it was time to get them done. I had my consultation back in August and plan to get around 450cc silicone implants. I'm super excited but also a little nervous mainly for...
I Had an Amazing Experience - surgery was extremely complex
My experience with Dr. Tutela is amazing. He has such compassion and kindness for his patients staff is amazing. My surgery was extremely complex involving removal of old capsular implants and putting in new implants under the muscle.. Dr. Tutela and his staff continue to be compassionate and attentive on each and every post visit.. I would highly recommend Dr. Tutela and his staff
Amazing Experience - pleasantly surprised how little pain I felt
I had saline implants done 16 years ago and was never really happy with my results. Not even a year after my surgery my right implant came out of the pocket but unfortunately at the time I wasn’t in the position to pay to get it repaired. In beginning of October my left implant ruptured out of no where. My very good friend had gone to Dr Tutela and was thrilled with her results, so I r...

A: Thanks much for reaching out. It was significant amount of excess skin and not enough fat rest of your body qualify for fat transfer. An implant would help fill out the skin laxity it is probably your best option. Also cutting the skin out directly in the banana role has many problems, including opening up and very poor scarring. However, that will also take out the skin in that area, but it may come with too much risk.
A: Thanks so much for reaching out. Looking at your pictures, adding a plan would add nice shape and projection to your breasts. Long-term if you keep up with MRIs and you are not having any problems with you implants. You don’t always have to get them change out every 10 years. I hope this helps :-)
A: Thanks so much for reaching out. The best way to have optimal scars is to choose a great surgeon. So much of your final result will have to do with the tension that is set during surgery. That being said, I like to use a combination of silicone tape, and Skin Medica scar recovery gel as a first line of treatment for optimal scarring. After six weeks this can be enhanced by using pro fractional laser. I hope this helps :-)
A: Thanks so much for reaching out. Actually, that area is very difficult to treat. Using liposuction is always dangerous for losing support. You may consider a noninvasive device like emsculpt however, I would have a limited hope that it would address your concerns. I hope this helps :-)
A: Thanks so much for reaching out. It’s hard to say for sure. But often times your lower flanks and lower back or areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. If you’re on the weight loss journey, lose the weight and see what happens you could always get liposuction after.
