I see the asymmetry but there is a good chance that this will significantly improve during convalescence. Try to remain patient.
Thank you for your question.At three days, it is too soon to tell. Wait at least three months to start to see resultsTo be sure, return to see your plastic surgeon and follow his or her instructions.I hope this helps.
Very likely your left breast will "drop" following release or removal of the capsule. A capsulectomy is a procedure whereby the capsule surrounding the implant is removed. A capsulotomy is a procedure whereby the capsule surrounding the implant is released but not removed. Both of these procedures will allow the implant to exert pressure on the remaining envelope. Very likely after the constricting forces of the capsule have been removed or released the implant should settle into a lower and hopefully more natural position. It is very common in the immediate postoperative period to see residual constriction of the breast before the remaining envelope has an opportunity to readapt.
Yes your breast should drop after a capsulectomy, as opposed to a capsulotomy.Capsulectomy removes the capsule but capsulotomy "opens" it by incising the scar tissue.However was anything else done to the pocket that may limit descent?Example, suture techniques, etc. Only your surgeon knows for sure!Once in final position, again timing depends on the issues, in part, listed above, it does not assure symmetry but I would expect a considerable improvement.best of luck
Great question, the short answer is not exactly. Saline cc's indicate the amount of saline placed inside the implants but does not take in account the volume of the shell. Silicone cc's represents the actual volume of the implant - gel and silicone together.
If a woman has excellent breasts after multiple breast implant revisions she should consider herself lucky. I discourage patients from revision will surgery unless there is a clear indication to do so. whimsical Changes in breast size can often lead to changes that cannot be corrected by...
There is an inverse relationship between the nipples and the top of the breasts. Your nipples are low on the breast mound and almost have a downward tilt. At a minimum, you need to have your implants lowered. This may or may not be possible because you may, in fact, have a...
Cautery is used by all surgeons during breast surgery to control bleeding so it is not an old technique. I'd suggest you simply ask you plastic surgeon what she means by "cauterizing the pocket". Perhaps they mean making the pocket larger to accommodate the bigger implant? They...
It is possible to adjust areola size with a breast lift, but once the surgery is completed, the areola will not get smaller during the healing process. In your case I don't think it will change much. If you are still dissatisfied after healing is completed, reduction in size...
