Tummy Tuck
Q Will a tummy tuck get rid of pregnancy stretch marks?
A

The goal with abdominoplasty is try to remove most of the stretch marks, at least below the belly button. Intraopertive assessment will determine how much skin can be remove safely.  It seems based on the pictures, most of the stretch marks can be removed.  Thank you

Q Implant exchange: How common is rippling with over the muscle saline implants and how unnatural will they feel?
A

This is a good question.  First, you are taking the correct first step to have the lump biopsied and fluid around the implant checked.  With all the recent discussion of textured implants, seroma, and concern for ALCL, this is a mandatory workup. 

Implants can have inherent issues whether saline or silicone, but generally saline implants over the muscle can cause more rippling.  Factors such as breast tissue thickness, implant size can influence degree of rippling.  Also, a structured saline implant is an option.  This implant has internal scaffolds which can help limit implant collapse.  You should have a detailed conversation with your plastic surgeon.

Q Follow-up question: How often do you see this degree of animation deformity?
A

Typically, some degree of animation is seen after subpectoral implants.  We do see less animation when a dual plane method is used; sometimes we have to release the muscle even at or above the level of the areola.  Conversion to a subglandular plane essentially takes the muscle out of the equation.  There are some issues with the fold also.  It is best you discuss your case with your surgeon.  All the best

Q Is there any connection with breast implants or capsular contracture and hair loss?
A

We typically do not associate hair loss with capsular contracture. It would be worth a check up with your primary care doctor if it continues to be a concern.  Thank you

Q Why are my implants different heights? (photos)
A

One of the pictures does show the implant on the right is different position. The other picture you posted its harder to tell.   Slight differences can exist after augmentation. Implants usually settle by about a year. You may have capsular contracture.  Sometimes release and repositioning of implants can be done.  Otherwise, the results are still reasonable. It is hard to provide advise unless you are examined in person.  Thank you
