I have a nodular breast - left one - I've done a scan on my breast about 5 years ago they said nothing to worry just some lumps from breastfeeding. Some medium pain when hormonal changes happened in my body or on period time. I want now to have an implant. It's a good idea? Is there a risk? Of course I will do another one before I will do my implants but till then I just want do me opinions. Please. Thank you!
Answer: Avoid implants I generally do not recommend implants. Unfortunately, you have not provided any photographs or told us your bra size. The better technique is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained. At the same time or later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Implants are not lifetime devices and half are removed by 9.5 years. Fat transfers are permanent and incorporated into the body.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Lumpy breasts Having nodular/lumpy breasts will not effect the placement of breast implants, which in the UK tends to be via the inframammary breast crease approach. However there are implications for follow up and imaging afterwards. Examination of lumps can actually be made easier with an implant filling out the breast, but you need to warn the radiographer prior to a mammogram that you have implants, as they will change the procedures and views obtained accordingly.

Answer: #nodularbreasts and #breastaugmentation with #breastimplants with #PlasticSurgery Nodular breasts should not affect you having breast implants. However in future if there are concerns then the you will need investigations repeated which may involve biopsy of the nodules. A baseline mammogram is advisable after 40 years of age if you planning on having surgery to your breasts. For optimal outcome, please consult a fully qualified plastic surgeon, who has specialist qualification in plastic surgery 'FRCS Plast' after having being trained adequately in the field of plastic surgery, is registered on the 'Specialist register for Plastic surgery' with the General Medical Council and has been considered competent enough to be a member of the 'BAPRAS' (British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons) and 'BAAPS' (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) at the least.

Answer: Nodules I recommend imaging prior to breast augmentation. The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon
