A: Hi @Gorgeous7424, thank you for your question. It is possible to do a revision and reposition the breast tissue with minimal scarring improving the overall proportion and correcting the nipples. This will create overall harmony and this can be done with an L-shaped incision so you will not have scarring in the cleavage area. Using my BRALIFT (Breast Reconstruction Anatomical Lift Augmentation) technique to reposition the breast tissue and improve the projection of the upper pole and mid zones. In this way you can have a turgid breast with projection. Best regards. Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

A: Hi @Calm3644, thank you for your question. The best thing for your health is to remove the implants as soon as possible as you have had them for 14 years and have developed some autoimmune diseases. I have been performing breast implant removals for suspected BII for 4 years now and I can attest that BII is associated with implants. It is a set of symptoms related to the autoimmune response that it causes in some people, an autoinflammatory response that affects different systems of the body and generates a variety of symptoms. What happens with explant is that after patients have undergone surgery they start to feel better, their symptoms start to reduce. Please find below a video that sheds more light on the subject.

A: Hello @ReeseLS, thank you for your question. In my practice, the recovery time for an explantation with breast reconstruction is 12 to 15 days, in which with the recommendations provided by your doctor and constant observations, you can lead your usual lifestyle, with the exception of not being able to carry heavy things or make sudden movements with your arms. Regarding driving, in my practice I recommend waiting a period of 3 months, since with the movement on the steering wheel, the scar may expand. The most appropriate course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeons. This will allow you to get more information and options tailored specifically to your needs.

A: Hello @Meshreyes, thank you for your question. Liposculpture skillfully uses liposuction to extract fat from specific areas and inject it into the desired regions, such as the buttocks, offering both men and women a viable option despite initial skepticism. It is mostly done with high-tech Vaser laser technology. It is an advanced procedure that uses gentle ultrasonic energy to selectively break up some of the unwanted fat while preserving other important tissues. VASER technology allows for a wide range of body contouring applications, from treating small problem areas to major transformations in various problem areas. It is important to point out that liposculpture is not a slimming method per se, but a technique to refine body contours and improve aesthetic proportions. Although it naturally leads to a reduction of the total weight by eliminating fat, the main objective is to sculpt the body in more harmonious proportions. . The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
