29 y/o female. 5ft 5inches. 120 lbs. I am a 34B/32C, been told by a surgeon that my breasts are a "good shape and good position" BUT, I would like them bigger...however I have a lot of underlying health issues....chronic UTI/ dry eyes, IBS, endometriosis. BII scares me...so is it too risky for me to have implants, or as I already have these illnesses maybe it wont make a difference? fat transfer/implants? which is safer for me ?
Answer: Breasts Implants are more reliable than fat. For your issues, please be checked for food allergies. Recent studies show that implants removed in women with BII have more heavy medal toxins in their tissues which is often related to hair dyes and tattoos and other sources of heavy medals.

Answer: BReast implants or breast fat transfer Hello thank you for your question. First I would consider how much bigger you would like to go. Fat transfer to the breasts will only give you approx a half a cup size increase. The pros about using your own fat is that it is your own and not a foreign body. If you plan on using an implant you can go much bigger but the cons is that it is a foreign implant, however even with your history it still perfectly safe to have breast augmentation. We are not able to predict who will have a greater capsular contracture or issues with their implants based on their medical history. I would speak to your plastic surgeon before making any definite decisions and let them know your thoughts and concerns.

Answer: BII You are more likely to get BII if you are older, smoke, have tattoos, have a history of anxiety disorder, have a history of health anxiety disorder, get most of your medical information from social media, or use social media extensively. BII is not an established entity by the medical community; it is the fabrication by people who are certain that their implants are causing symptoms that everyone experiences. A current ongoing prospective and partially blinded trial indicates that toxins and heavy metals are not a cause of BII, and that those getting explanted do equally well regardless of scar capsule removed.

Answer: Implants or Fat Transfer? Hello, Thank you for the question and photos. Breast augmentation using breast implants or fat transfer are both good options, but it's difficult to tell without seeing your photos. Implant size discussion and implant selection is one of the most important steps during your consultation with plastic surgeon. The decision-making process depends on patient’s desires, as well as breast and soft tissue dimensions. Breast lipofilling using fat grafting may require a few sessions (surgeries) to achieve a fuller cleavage, which is an important consideration for many patients. Having condition like UTI or IBS does not directly correlate to BII. I suggest that you seek an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon in order to discuss your goals and concerns for the best cosmetic results. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. Best wishes and good luck. Best regards, Dr. Irena KaranetzBreast Fellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon
