Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
How soon is too soon after a BA to get pregnant?
BA and pregnancy
Aug 18, 2020
This is a question we are asked often. There is not a right or wrong answer. If you are unsure when you are getting pregnant and you are not happy with your breasts it is totally safe to move forward with a breast augmentation. Could your breasts change with pregnancy and breast feeding? The answer is yes they could. However, there are options that you have down the road to help correct the shape of the breast without necessarily replacing the implants. Some women will move forward with...
Trying to get a breast augmentation, are my tuberous breasts considered mild?
tuberous breast
Aug 18, 2020
From the photos enclosed your breasts are noticeably different. The nipples are sitting in different positions and the shape is different. I would seek out a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in breasts to have an in-person consultation with to explore your options and get a realistic explanation of what is achievable with surgery.
How do plastic surgeons feel about the transaxillary incision?
Transaxillary incision
Aug 18, 2020
In our office we do not offer this type of incision. This incision often widens over time and doesn't heal the best. This is then seen in bathing suits, tank tops, and dresses. In our office we use a IMF incision which is located in the crease of the breast. The only way this incision is seen is if you put your arms up over your head.
Are my breasts saggy? What can I do? I'm 34 years old.
Saggy breasts
Aug 12, 2020
From the photos enclosed you would benefit from a breast augmentation and a mastopexy (breast lift). The augmentation would help add volume to your upper pole of the breasts and the lift would give your breasts a more youthful look. I would seek out a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for a full consultation.
After recent weight loss, coupled with time, I've noticed loss of volume. Breast implants, breast lift
options for breast surgery
Aug 12, 2020
Based on the photos enclosed I would recommend a breast augmentation with a mastopexy (breast lift). I think this would fill out your upper pole and help you achieve a more youthful look to your breasts. I would reach out to a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for a full consultation.
35years old - 5’6" - 140lbs - 34A and I believe he said 12.5 twice during measurements for base. How bi
breast augmentation base diameter
Aug 12, 2020
As a rule of thumb in our office we tell patients that they can go 1.5cm smaller or larger based off their base diameter. I would contact the office you had your consultation with and discuss the sizes he recorded in your patient file so that you are making accurate sizers at home.
How many cm can one deviate from its BWD while choosing implants?
BWD deviation
Aug 7, 2020
In our office we tell patients to stay within 1.5cm of their base width. You don't want an implant that is to small and doesn't fill out the width of your chest but you also don't want an implant that is to wide and will make you look top heavy. If your base width is 12cm I would lean more toward the 375cc implant with a base width of 11.75cm. I would discuss this further with your board certified plastic surgeon.
What size would take me to a D cup from 36 B?
From B to D cup size
Aug 7, 2020
We often tell our patients that a cup size is approximately 200cc. So in theory you need around a 400cc implant to go from a B to a D. I think that if you were thinking of a 385cc implant moving up to a 405cc or 420cc implant is very reasonable. I would reach out to your board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your options.
Do breast augmentations hurt more when you don't have breast fat or tissue?
Breast augmentation pain
Aug 7, 2020
Breast augmentation doesn't hurt more if you have a small amount of breast tissue. However, if there is a small amount of breast tissue present we will suggest putting the implant behind the muscle to help the implant look more natural. This can cause more discomfort in the first few days of your recovery. You should contact a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for a full in person consultation.
I am a labor and delivery nurse considering breast augmentation. I have 2 questions considering work an

In our office we recommend patients who do heavy lifting over 10 pounds to be off 2 weeks. If you are able to get help with lifting on your unit I would still suggest 7-10 days off. Most of the nurses we have done surgery on just arrange their schedules to help accommodate the time off in addition to using a few days of PTO but rarely do we have to send in paperwork to the hospital disclosing what procedure they have done.
Can I get my nails done 5 day before surgery?
Mani/Pedi before surgery

In our office we are ok with patients going to get their nails done prior to surgery but we ask that you use a light color polish.
Can tubular (tuberous) breast lift be performed without inframammary incision, ie. periareolar incision
breast lift without IMF incision

Based on the photos enclosed I do not think you would be able to do a peri-areolar breast lift alone. In order to help with the shape of the breast and give you the best possible outcome I think you would need a vertical and IMF incision. I would reach out to a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for a full in person consultation.
Type 1 Diabetes, Hba1c & breast augmentation. What is considered an acceptable hba1c?
A1C and breast augmentation

In our practice we like a patient's A1C to be at 7. I would discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon.
Does a person with tight skin have more chance of getting symmastia after breast augmentation?

Having tighter breast skin does not increase your chance of getting symmastia. I would make sure to seek out a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for your surgery. Symmastia is not a common complication seen after breast augmentation.
How can I fix my breasts?

I am not sure what your goal is with your breasts but from the photo attached it appears you would be a good candidate for a breast lift and possible breast augmentation to add some upper pole fullness. There appears to be loose skin present on the breast and a lift would help give a more youthful appearance to the breast. I would seek out a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for a full consultation. You will not be able to achieve this look with exercise and weight gain.
