Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
No one wants to do a breast implant without a lift. Why?
Expectations
Jun 6, 2022
As a patient with significant existing breast tissue and breast ptosis (droop), a breast implant will simply give you a slightly bigger version of what you have. This is because your breast implant is placed underneath the breast tissue you already have. As you can imagine, your natural breasts will be on top of whatever implant is inserted, so the change in size and shape will be very limited. The actual aesthetics of your breasts will only change very slightly if you have just an implant…
Want to achieve a D/DD – trying to decide between 315cc and 375cc?
Understanding Breast Implant Sizing
Jun 6, 2022
It’s important to obtain an understanding of how breast implant sizing and bra sizing works. There are two issues with asking a question like this. The first issue is that without actually measuring your breasts, seeing the amount of existing tissue you have, and discussing your aesthetic goals, there is no way to determine which implant size is best suited to you, or what kind of size a certain implant type will produce. 315cc on one patient can be very subtle, and on another patient can be…
Is a breast lift needed with implants in my case?? What size is good for full even breas
Breast Lift & Implants
May 11, 2022
A breast lift is required to address the shape of your breasts and the asymmetry as you have stated that these are two of your concerns. To understand what “full” means to you it’s important to communicate your expectations clearly with your plastic surgeon. You should bring in images of results that you like and are aiming for to help your surgeon understand the size that you deem to be “full”. Once you have done this, your plastic surgeon will be able to recommend the implant size for you,…
Breast implants with fat transfer to reach desired size or just bigger implants?
Discussion with your plastic surgeon
May 11, 2022
If you have a desired size then you and your surgeon should choose the implant with a goal to achieve this size. Fat transfer is unpredictable and often requires multiple treatments. Generally, fat transfer in tandem with breast implants is used as a way to create closer cleavage or soften the look of implants to be more “natural”. It is not a reliable way to increase size for most patients, unless they have abundant financial and time resources to have multiple procedures. Of course, this…
Asian prone to hyperpigmentation and scarring – how can I prevent scarring after breast
Genetics, Prevention, Management
Apr 4, 2022
Scarring after breast augmentation surgery will ultimately be dictated by genetics and skin type, but there are measures you can take before and after surgery to improve the outlook. Feel free to read the blog post to find out more about your skin type and how to prevent and manage scarring.
Would a breast augmentation correct my pointy breasts?
Breast Lift & Implants
Apr 4, 2022
Your natural breast tissue will always sit on top of an implant – that is something that cannot be changed with a standard breast augmentation. If we place an implant in the pocket of a breast with significant overlying tissue, you will generally end up with a larger version of the breasts you already have. Changing breast shape is easy when a patient has very little breast tissue to begin with, but much more challenging when a patient has significant overlying breast tissue. For this…
Compression and massage still recommended post breast aug?
Everybody’s different
Apr 4, 2022
The gold standard of patient care after plastic surgery is to tailor the patient experience to the individual. It goes without saying that a blanket approach for any aspect of breast surgery is not going to be optimal for every patient. Some patients are going to need massage due to their anatomy and how we see their breasts progressing during recovery. Other patients may need to avoid massage as settling may be on track and the patient may be at higher risk of the implant dropping too low…
