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: 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: 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.

Answer: Are there less issues associated with smaller breast implants? can this be done at the same time as a tummy tuck? Hello @Samantha33396, thank you for your question. No, what may causes issues is a reaction of the organism to external factors such as implants no matte how big or small they are. In some people, this illness results in an autoinflammatory response, which affects different body systems and generates a range of symptoms. In order to determine if the two procedures can be done at the same time, your case needs to be evaluated during a consultation. For more information and recommendations, consult one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
