I've had saline implants under-muscle since '07 to correct asymmetric A/AA breasts. My breasts look great, but I worry that my autoimmune issues could be caused by BII. 1. Is an En Bloc capsulectomy recommended with possible BII? Pros & cons? 2. Pros & cons of simultaneous implant exchange w/fat vs transfer after 6-12 mths? 3. Would fat be transferred under the skin or in empty space left under the muscle? 4. Is breast lift also recommended? Effect on appearance & recovery?
Im 53, 150 lbs, have 3 children that were all breast fed. I had a lift a few years ago which put my nipples in good position, but the top of my breasts have no volume with all the tissue on the bottom. Im looking to add volume to the top and still be natural looking.
Hello! I understand the importance of maintaining weight after this procedure, which I closely monitor and fully intend to do. My question is, if I end up gaining 1 lb, and then losing that 1 lb to return to my pre-op weight, is this going to affect my breasts? I know dramatic weight fluctuations a no-no, but sometimes a lb gain is just bound to happen if I have social events, holidays, etc. I apologize as this may also sound like a silly question.
I'm about to have a double Mx, to be followed by radiation. I'm a B cup and would like the absolute minimally invasive reconstruction, ideally with fat transfer only. I'm interested in the most subtle result, barely there outline of a breast. My Dr says fat will reabsorb. Is it possible to achieve a lasting result with fat grafting only?
Fat transfer for breast reconstruction dying. This is my second fat transfer to my left breast for reconstruction with implant after mastectomy. About 9 months after the transfer, my breast started shrinking and has continued to shrink to the point where my left breast is a full cup size smaller than the right. It first of all is concerning me, secondly I want to know the best options to fix the issue. Increasing the implant size or more fat transfers. Or other options? Thanks!
A few years ago I had gynecomastia surgery, and my surgeon removed more fat from the area than I would like. Now that Im looking to get it fixed, I want to know if the donor site (obliques) will feel any change in sensation, sensitivity, or anything else that would change how my body feels to me.
Left me with a flat profile, excess fat under arm and back. Two different nipple shapes that have dimples or dents. Breast muscle is so tight that when I lay on side they feel like squeeze balls. Dont know where to start but know I need something done to correct look and feel of my breast,
I recently explanted 11 y/o texturized implants and, out of fear, opted for breast reconstruction with my own fat (from the knees) to the breasts. I am told it was put in several planes, over, into and under the pec muscle. It has been 1 month since my surgery and I regret my decision. The reasons being many and aesthetically it was not worth what I feel I compromised anatomically-healthy-wise. Can it be reversed? How long should I wait to remove it?
I'm planning a fat transfer to my breast in the next 2 weeks but have a planned bondage session 1 month after. Would breast bondage affect my transfer? Basically what I want to know is how tight can I bind or how rough can I be with 4 weeks recovery?
