BL/BA vs BL and BA separately?

J
JustformeeeSep 26, 2017

I understand that there is a cost difference, separate recoveries and that it can be done together but I am wondering would results be better if a lift is done first, heals and later add an implant or will results be the same as getting them done together? I am looking to get small firm perky breast, tight and high with no drop to them.

Thanks for your inquiry,  the skin around the nipple areolar complex has died.  The nipple areolar complex itself seems to be viable.  My concern would be the implant getting infected, so meticulous care with your surgeon's supervision is a must.   It is hard to tell what the final result will ...

The question of whether or not an implant will need to be removed is contingent upon the depth of the infection. A superficial infection which has not reached the implant can be treated with antibiotics. If the infection has reached the implant, explant will be necessary.Your narrative is very...

Thanks for your question and the photo. The asymmetry that you are concerned about (areolar position and vein protrusion) is not uncommon. Despite measuring everything, breasts can heal differently. The Nipple-IMF distance is longer on the right and that can be corrected with an excision of an ...
