I am planning on getting round sientra Silicone implants (not textured) along with a tuberous breast procedure and areola reduction. I have done a lot of research before scheduling this and I know plenty about the risks of ALCL and BII (do not tell me it's not real misogynist) My question is, after the implants have been in for some time and the correction of the tuberous has been achieved is it possible to explant and do a fat transfer/graft in place of the implant in case I do experience BII?
Answer: What happens if you remove implants after tuberous breast correction You can remove breast implants at a later stage and replace with fat transfer. Fat transfer will create a different look than an implant, as it has less structure, but for the most part you won't have 'relapse' of tuberous breast deformity. At the time of explant, you may need a revision lift in addition to fat transfer to achieve the type of aesthetic you are looking for.

Answer: Fat and Implants are very different You won't ever get BIA-ALCL with smooth implants. Although no physiologic mechanism has been attributed to BII, there are a few demographics that can increase your risk of BII: advanced age, self reported anxiety disorder or health anxiety disorder, use of the internet for health information, distrust of the medical community, cigarette and/or marijuana smoking, tattoos, and SALINE implants. Forgive me if I have misinterpreted a statement you made in your question, but if you feel that any plastic surgeon is a misogynist because they don't think BII is real, then you clearly have mistrust of the medical community, at least the important ones, like those operating on you for breast augmentation. If that is the case, you shouldn't get breast implants as that would put you at higher risk of BII.

Answer: Tuberous brest correction it is very difficult to correct complex tuberous breast deformity without implants. Only on the basis of in person consultation, an experienced board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in tuberous breast reconstruction, could give you more accurate answer. Conditions you are afraid of are very rare and some of them not related to smooth implants (ALCL). It will take several procedures of fat grafting (2-3) to achieve improvement which can be expected with implants in a single surgery. Yous should make 2-3 in person consultation about this issue with board certified plastic surgeons who have significant experience in this area. Good luck.

Answer: Thank you for your question... In the absence of an examination in person, or at the very least, photos, it is not possible to provide you with specific answers or treatment recommendations. That said, however, a breast implant is NOT necessarily required to correct a tuberous breast deformity unless you are especially small breasted and want a significant augmentation. Fat grafting can be used both as a supplemental or adjunctive procedure, as well as a stand alone, with or without the use of an implant. the latter, however, is least likely to be necessary since proper implant selection can eliminate the need for simultaneous fat grafting. If the goal is to avoid implants altogether, an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon would be required to see if you re indeed a candidate for such.
