Hi, My surgeon suggested me to use mesh in addition to the implants in my breasts, since I don't have enough tissue and considering my very strong chest muscles, going submuscular was not an option. PHASLX ST Mesh was the one he suggested, as there was no other brand available. It seems it's only used in hernia, and it's not recommended for breast augmentation surgeries. What do you think? I have tubular and sagging breasts, not much tissue, I have some thought, 38 years old.

Answer: Breasts You did not post photos, so I cannot be specific. Most women who think they have "tubular" breasts only have sagging breasts instead. Since I have not examined you and your surgeon has, I will refer you back to your surgeon.

Answer: Plastic surgery assessment Without seeing pictures, we can’t begin to make an assessment. Did your surgeon show you lots of before and after pictures of previous patients who had similar breast characteristics who had the same operation? Consider having multiple consultations before selecting a provider. Bring pictures of yourself taking the same way plastic surgeons take before and after pictures. Use these pictures as reference during the consultation. During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before, and after pictures of previous patients who had similar body characteristics who had the same procedure, the surgeon is recommending.Take careful notes during each consultation, especially regarding the quality and quantity of before and after pictures shown. There’s no correct number of consultations needed to find the right provider. The more consultations you scheduled the more likely you are to find the better provider for your needs. There is no right or wrong answer to your question. It all depends on what is indicated which is based on what you look like in combination with each providers skill and experience. When in doubt, slow down and schedule more consultations. I generally recommend patients avoid virtual consultations and always rely on in person consultations whenever possible.
