Which Breast Implant Placement Gives a More Natural Appearance?
Under the Muscle, Generally
Feb 25, 2016
Feb 25, 2016
Thanks for the question, emzy. Most of
my breast augmentation patients are primarily concerned with natural-looking
results, and I’ve had a lot of chances to explore various options. In general,
I’ve found that submuscular placement typically creates the most
natural-looking results. This is because it better enables the patient’s own
breast tissue to retain its natural shape. However, this isn’t a hard-and-fast
rule. Like most guidelines in the world of plastic surgery, the…

Tear Drop Vs Round Breast Implants for Petite Build?
Different Implants for Different Goals
Feb 25, 2016
Feb 25, 2016
Each doctor has his or her own
opinions about which implant is the better one, but it really varies from
person to person. As a petite woman, you can certainly get good results from
round implants, provided their size and projection are also proportionate to
your body. While shaped implants do offer the characteristic teardrop curve of
a natural breast, many women still prefer the voluptuous results created by
round implants. It can’t hurt to consult with several surgeons to get a range

Hello! I lost volume and shape after breastfeeding two kids. Will I get a nice result without lift
Good Results Without Lift
Feb 25, 2016
Feb 25, 2016
Thanks for your question and your
photos. I tend to agree with your doctor that the dual-plane technique is ideal
to give you beautiful results without the need for a lift. Although your
breasts do sag a bit, yours is certainly not a severe case. At this point, I
would feel comfortable recommending an augmentation without lift. Best of luck
with your surgery.

Is lift required with implants after nursing?
Sagging Skin Needs a Lift
Feb 25, 2016
Feb 25, 2016
Thanks for your question. Keep in mind
that none of us can make a sound recommendation for you without an in-person
consultation or a photograph. However, based on your description, it’s unlikely
that you’d see good results from an augmentation alone. While implants would
certainly add volume to your breasts, the extra weight may actually exacerbate
your sagging, leading to unfavorable results. Only breast lift can address this
extra skin. It’s possible that you may also require a reduction…

Is it possible to get a breast reduction, and implants?
Possible But Tricky
Feb 25, 2016
Feb 25, 2016
Without photos or an in-person
consultation, I can’t comment on your specific case. However, in general, yes,
it’s possible for a patient to undergo both a breast reduction and breast
augmentation. Although this is an uncommon approach, it can help reshape the
breasts and resize them to the patient’s specifications. Depending on your
goals, you may undergo a single surgery during which a surgeon performs both
procedures, or 2 surgeries spaced several months apart. It’s very important to
see…

Implant Safety Is Well Documented
Feb 25, 2016
Feb 25, 2016
Thanks for your questions. I feel
confident speaking for my colleagues here on RealSelf when I say that none of
us would offer breast implants if there were any reason to believe they were
dangerous. The safety of each implant on the market today has been carefully
studied and thoroughly documented. Unfortunately, sickness after breast augmentation
surgery is a common myth. I encourage you to read the stories of breast

Signs of Leaking Breast Implants
It Depends on the Implants
Feb 25, 2016
Feb 25, 2016
Although the symptoms you’re describing
aren’t necessarily signs that your implants are leaking, they certainly warrant
a visit to your surgeon’s office. If you have saline implants, you’ll likely
notice one breast is significantly smaller than the other. This change usually
happens suddenly. If you have silicone implants, the only way to detect a leak
is through an MRI. Please see your surgeon to determine the cause of your
discomfort. Best of luck!
