What are the risk of Asian having bad scarring for Breast Augmentation? (photos)

Question

Asian girl, 28 years, 5'7" tall, 53kg. Considering 330-370cc silicone implants, mentor round,high profile,inframammary incision. What are the risk of Asian having bad scarring & the advantages/disadvantages of opting for the dual plane method & having BA before getting having children. How soon am I able to start working out/doing extreme sports (diving/skiing/bungee jumping) & please explain further about muscle flex deformity. How soon will I be able to sleep on my front. Will the implants have a higher risk of rupture if I lie on my front? Also, what are the chances of developing stretch marks due to BA?

I would agree that while you have some great questions, it would probably be more beneficial to ask these questions of your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon during the consultation.  To get you started:There is no way to guarantee how you are going to scar.  Quality of your scars is dependent upon several factors although most patients (in my experience) tend to heal very nicely regardless of their ethnicity I use a partial sub muscular approach and find that works for a majority of my patientsAugmentation before or after having kids is really a personal decision and so there is no right/wrong answer hereI work with a very active client base and prefer a sub muscular approach since many of these women have low body fat and so a sub glandular approach may lead to a less natural appearing resultYou should be able to sleep on your stomach within a few weeks after surgerySleeping on your stomach should not increase the risk for ruptureStretch marks can occur following BA although why they occur is really not knownI hope these answers help and wish you the best of luck!

Beautiful, natural looking results can still be achieved. Scarring can be treated with scar treatments, such as silicone gel and silicone sheeting. Implants may warp when flexing your chest muscles, and this is muscle flex deformity. It is a concern when the implants are placed under the muscle.You can do vigorous physical activity about 6 weeks after breast augmentation, although you may want to wait a little longer for bungee jumping. Implants are very durable and sleeping on your front will not increase the risk of rupture. Stretchmark development depends on how prone you are to getting them. If you develop them easily, then breast augmentation may cause them as well.You should ask your surgeon for their advice, as they may have different information and guidelines.

Scarring is seldom an issue in breast augmentation regardless of the skin type. There's no danger to the implants by laying on them. If you're vigorous athletic league you might consider a sub glandular position. Breast augmentation does not cause stretch marks.

You have lots of typical questions before surgery. It would be best to research and visit a plastic surgeon near you and go over your list one by one. Best Wishes

Many before and after images of Asian women who have received breast augmentation my practice are pictured on Realself.   Scarring should to be an issue with an experienced plastic surgeon. A very significant concern is appropriate size, shape and placement f the breast implant to create a natural looking rest. Look for a plastic surgeon who can provide many many before and after images with results like you would hpe to achieve and take time to review their training and expertise. With many Asian patients, I use form stable shaped breast implants and I lower the inframammary fold so that there is more great tissue below the nipple areola complex than above. each patient is unique and not all patients require this approach, but you should seek a plastic surgeon with experience with this approach.
