Hi there and thanks for posting,I am concerned about safety with this approach for your surgery. For someone who is young and fit, I cannot see why someone would suggest local anaesthesia and sedation. The sedation reduces your breathing which raises your carbon dioxide levels which potentiates the risks from local anaesthesia.Please ensure you are being operated on by a fully qualified surgeon, in an accredited facility with a specialist anaesthetist in attendance.The final result is important but patient safety is paramount.Best wishesRichard
I believe that the technique of local anaesthetic and sedation for breast implant surgery is the best way to carry out this kind of operation, primarily because the recovery from the sedation is so rapid and also any nausea following surgery is rare. If carried out properly you should not feel any discomfort or pain during procedure, whether the implant is placed under or over the muscle. There will of course be some discomfort after the operation but with the local anaesthetic infiltration and additional nerve blocks (such as pectoral nerve and parvavertrebral blocks) it is possible to achieve better post operative pain relief.
If your surgeon routinely does it that way, then you can go ahead. If its done well you will not feel anything . Glue is fine too.
Hello,Some doctors have mastered this art and I am sure it can be done painlessly .Even I use glue and not steristirps .I think you are with some one good at his work.I think you can go ahead without much worries.Wishing you all the best
Hi, The result any patient will achieve will be a combination of the volume of breast tissue they have, the frame they have, and then the volume of implant they choose. Given you have a taller frame I suspect you will carry volume and not look unreasonable. This though will depend on the vol...
The saline in the implant is simple salt water. No other chemicals, preservatives, etc. So, saline implant rupture is really the same as drinking saltwater which quickly gets absorbed and urinated out. I would make an appointment with your plastic surgeon to address the implant rupture, an...
Hi and thanks for the question. There is a lot going on with this and very different consults. Here is what I have seen and the studies have been well done in this particular question more than a decade ago. The studies were done by John Tebbets MD from Dallas and Hammond MD. There are a few...
A capsule rupture in itself is not a problem, unless when the capsule heals the implant heels in a new position. If that is the case, a corrective surgery will be needed. You are taking the right first step with an MRI.Best of luck! Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown S...
Dear amyatkinson98: Based on your photo, it appears you have a tuberous breast with an asymmetry. I perform tuberous breast corrective procedures on a regular basis. Although a formal physical exam is needed to give you any meaningful advice, I would likely recommend a breast augmentation w...
Congratulations on you surgery and great results thus far. Unfortunately bra size is so variable from one manufacturer to another with no real standardization across the board that's it's very difficult to say what cup size you'll be after surgery. A rough rule of thumb though is that each cup...
