Question 1

what treatment is best for scar tissue around breast implant? it is 12 months post op and painful.. no hardening of breast implant.

Accepted Answer

Dermatology: Probably best to consult with a board certified dermatologist. Collagen injections into the scar with dermabrasion or  cortisone injections to thin the scar tissue: I would advise a dermatology consultation or platic surgery opinion.

Question 2

must i have surgery to remove scar tissue from my breast implant?

Accepted Answer

Least of problems: As of now, women with implants are still "supposed" to be followed by the fda and their doctors for connective tissued disorders and autoimmune disorders also anaplastic lymphoma a rare ca. The least of the problems is scar tissue. Please refer to the fda website on their recent review.  Unfortunately, breast implants are a very big and profitable industry--i hope they, and the docs step up.

Question 3

will the scar from the breast implant removal surgery be larger than the initial one? i am considering a breast implant removal procedure due to the change of the breast shape and asymmetry. i am concerned about the size of the incision necessary for the

Accepted Answer

Usually smaller: If uncomplicated and only removal (no lift) the incision to remove implants may be even smaller.

Question 4

hi i did breast implant one year ago but the scar still obvious like i did month ago! my doctor told me that my skin is the reason. what shoud i do?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunate.: People heal differently and some end up with big thick scar tissue. Some may consider scar revision, which is cutting out the old scar, but you may end up with a similar scar once you heal. Speak with your doctor, consult a general or plastic surgeon, and best of luck!

Question 5

i have a burning sensation on the top part of my breast after 2 days of having breast augmentation, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Call your surgeon: call your surgeon and find out if it is normal or not.

Question 6

is breast augmentation surgery safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes generally: speaking. Its safety will, more precisely depend on the specific patient's state of health, surgical technique, and surgeon's experience and dedication, to name some factors.

Question 7

i have a slight double bubble after breast augmentation, what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Many types DBL BBL: Many different types of double bubble have been described . Most commonly this is due to placing a large implant beneath a small or constricted breast. This causes the implant to &quot;peak out&quot; from under the existing breast causing the classical double bubble appearance. Occasionally this can be improved with a dual plane dissection and radial relaxing incisions. Other solutions have been described.

Question 8

after breast augmentation do you still have feeling in your nipples/boobs?

Accepted Answer

Oh sure...: Usually the implant is placed beneath the muscle of the chest wall. But, even when the implant is placed over the muscle, there's very little chance of a sensory distortion about the nipple/areola complex. Speak to a board certified plastic surgeon for further details and risks. Good luck.

Question 9

how long should i wait to get pregnant after a second breast augmentation?

Accepted Answer

As long: As there was no capsule work done, and healing uneventful, as soon as you wish.

Question 10

is it possible for me to get breast augmentation to size b (saline) at the age of 17 and 8 months? i'd like to know about the usa as well as the uk.

Accepted Answer

USA differs from UK: In the USA, the FDA has implied "indications" for saline implants at 18 or older, and for gel implants, 22 or older. I, for one, do not understand the reason for this edict. Both types of implants come in multiple sizes, but the final breast size is determined by not only what size implant is used, but what volume of breast tissue the patient started with. We use preference pictures to help .
