Is there less issues with smaller implants and how common is BII? I only want to fill out deflation and loose skin and would not want to be bigger then a full a or b. I had a breast lift 3.5 years ago. I'm worried about getting sick from my implants tee doing research. Also is it safe to do a tummy tuck at the same time?I have excellent muscles but loose skin from pregnancies. I've had my stomach looked at and do not need any muscle repair.
Answer: Repeat breast lift and tummy tuck Smaller implants have less problems in terms of descent. However, the associated BII is still unknown. Your initial breast lift was inadequate. You may benefit more from a repeat breast lift than breast implants. Also, a tummy tuck can be done at the same time. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Mommy Makeover Thanks for your question. Smaller implants will not cause any more post op issues than larger implants. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

Answer: Breast Augmentation and Tummy Tuck Smaller breast implants generally entail fewer complications compared to larger ones. Smaller implants tend to have less impact on the body's tissues and structures, potentially leading to a smoother recovery and a reduced risk of complications such as capsular contracture or back pain. Combining a breast augmentation (whether with smaller or larger implants) with a tummy tuck is a common practice known as a Mommy Makeover. Doing both procedures simultaneously can be beneficial as it consolidates recovery time, reducing overall downtime and potentially cost. However, it's crucial to discuss your goals and expectations with a board-certified plastic surgeon. They will assess your individual anatomy, health status, and desired outcomes to determine the feasibility and safety of combining these procedures. While combining surgeries is generally safe for many patients, it might not be advisable for everyone due to individual health considerations.

Answer: Considering smaller implants with tummy tuck Hello, it is common for breast augmentation to be done at the same time as a tummy tuck. Smaller implants may have a lower risk of certain problems like premature sagging or visible/palpable ripples, but other risks like capsular contracture and rupture might be similar regardless of the size of the implants. Breast implant illness is controversial and not well-understood. If there is some uncommon adverse reaction to breast implants, it seems likely that it could happen regardless or their size.

Answer: Implants The actual risk of developing BII is unknown since the diagnosis is often confused with toxins from cosmetics and hair dyes and harsh metals in tattoos and mercury fillings in teeth. We live in a very toxic environment. However, there are fewer risks with smaller implants. The tummy tuck could be done at the same time if you are healthy enough for elective surgery.

Answer: Are there less issues associated with smaller breast implants? can this be done at the same time as a tummy tuck? Tall women with large frames and broad chests, shoulders, and hips can often handle larger implants that would make smaller women's chests look overcrowded and heavy. Realize that implants of 600cc and higher will lead to more tissue thinning over time, have more potential for rippling, more potential for bottoming out, greater likelihood of breast lift revisions because the breast tissue and skin may not be able to support them. TT and BAM can be performed during the same surgery.
