Im really concerned since my surgery is January 7.. a lot of people get sick in the winter.. so im really worried about getting sick before my surgery since my doctors papers have a warning about getting a cough or cold... If i get a cough or cold will my surgery be cancelled? or is it only for REALLY bad coughs.. like one that you need to go to the Dr. for because its so bad?

You need to have a thorough examination and bloodworm to ensure that you are ok for surgery.  It is up to your PS and anesthesiologist to clear you for surgery.

While every surgeon is different, our recommendations are to stay out of the gym for 3-4 weeks after breast augmentation, and to minimize pec work-outs for 6 months post-op.You can continue with biceps, triceps, lats, deltoid, etc after the initial period of healing - as long as you are careful...

I heard about aquafilling "hydrophilic gel", is it safe for breast augmentation?

In no way would I suggest you fill your breasts with anything besides FDA approved implants and potentially some fat. Its just not safe. A small implant under the gland in a body builder is a great and reliable operation

Are my areolas too big/can I fix them? (photo)

Richard J. Bruneteau, MD

It's important to realize that breasts come in all shapes and sizes. Despite this, it's not unusual for women to be dissatisfied with the appearance of their breasts. In your case, your pictures demonstrate enlarged areolas, breast sag and breast asymmetry. All of these problems can be addressed...

Would a breast lift allow me to stay my old size (34D), or would I have to get implants?

The only way to determine this is to examine you in person.  You need to see a BC PS in your area.  I would recommend Dr. Clapson in Saskatoon.

Male growing breast with a cream call Naturaful. Is the growth reversable if I decide to stop or will they keep growing?

I am surprised to hear that this product is helping you.  I have no idea if it is reversible as I doubt the cream is actually doing this.
