I have 7-year-old silicone breast implants. I was recently diagnosed with tubular breast cancer, grade 1, negative lymph nodes, 7mm mass (T1bN0M0). I had a lumpectomy on my right breast at 10 o'clock with local tissue rearrangement by an oncologic plastic surgeon. I am projected to have localized radiation. What is the rate of capsular contraction of radiated silicone breast implants? Does pentoxifylline and vitamin E reduce the risk of capsular contraction?

Hello and thanks for your questions. Breast uplift operation seems to be the mandatory procedure for you to have the best result since you have sagging skin due to your weight loss and pregnancy history. Breast uplift&augmentation will give you the best result as possible.
Hi there, thanks for your question! In most instances your surgeon will base the "maximum" size implant you can have based on the width of your breasts. As implants go up in CC, the width of the implant also get wider, so I would reccomend that you consult with your plastic surgeon about the...
I would suggest going back and trying on the sizes to see what you like. There is a limit on what your tissue will support and what will be comfortable on your neck and shoulders. Please don't go past that limit.
