Question 1

i was diagnosed with severe sun damage on lower lip. in the end of december, i treated it with aldara for eight weeks. i got a biopsy done today and one spot is not cleared. i am getting breast implants on february, 6th. is it safe to get the implants?

Accepted Answer

Ok for implants: While i think you can go ahead with the breast surgery...This "sun damage" needs more looking into.  Was it biopsied?  I am really concerned that the spot not cleared may be malignant.  This needs to be seen by a facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist.

Question 2

having type 2 diabetes and getting breast implants how safe is it?

Accepted Answer

Breast augmentation: Diabetes can impair wound healing, so you want to make sure your blood sugars are in the normal range both before and after surgery. The good news is that you are dealing with a small incision, but make sure you are medically cleared from your primary doctor before undergoing surgery.

Question 3

is it safe to get breast implants while on mirena (levonorgestrel) birth control?

Accepted Answer

Not a concern: This is generally not a concern.

Question 4

is it safe to get ipl done under the arm with breast implants?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is safe!: Intense pulsed light treatments are broadband (full spectrum), and do not use lasers (single wavelength) or ionizing (ultraviolet or x-ray) wavelengths. They are for pigmented and vascular lesions (superficial ones) and sometimes hair reduction. These energies do not penetrate beyond a mm or two, so your implants will not be affected in any way. The same applies to laser hair removal-perfectly ok!

Question 5

i am a 41 year old female, nonsmoker. if i have oral lichen planus, is it safe for me to get breast implants? i read that olp is an autoimmune disease. can you please advise if i should refrain or if it's okay to have the implants. thank you?

Accepted Answer

: Breast implants (mostly textured type) have a rare complication of Breast Implant Associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Again, it happens rarely. OLP is not a contra-indication  to get breast implants. Smooth surfaces gel filled or saline filled implants are fairly safe.

Question 6

are saline breast implants safer than silicone? i'm debating which to get.

Accepted Answer

Saline 'rocks": Saline does not cause problems when it "infiltrates" into the body accidently. The only major issue if any is a sudden "rupture" of the implants from a blow to the chest such as a auto accident air bag or steering wheel. Saline is easily absorbed by the body as opposed to silicone. Talk to a plastic surgeon about these choices before you place all your "rocks"($$) into the "barrel".

Question 7

i want to get breast implants, i lack confidence because of my breasts, but i suffer from graves' disease, would it be safe?

Accepted Answer

Breast implants : Graves&#x27; disease is an autoimmune disorder that not only affects the thyroid but also the skin in certain instances. While there are no studies on breast implants in people with graves&#x27; disease it raises the question of whether you would be more likely to react to the foreign body or have a complication due to the skin inflammation. I suggest you discuss the issue with you&#x27;re endochronologist and plastic surgeon and consider all options prior to proceeding with surgery.

Question 8

can you have surgery to get breast implants if you have wolff parkinson white?

Accepted Answer

Yes w clearance: Yes as long as it is stable and well controlled this is not an issue. You should inform both your cardiologist and anesthesiologist well ahead of scheduling surgery.

Question 9

can i get large breast implants if i am thin?

Accepted Answer

: Maybe/not. Your available skin that would covered it and underlying blood vessels must not be under the type of stress/tension that interferes with healthy blood flow. The implant could create major problems. You need to work with the breast surgeon to understand what is reasonable for your body type/frame.

Question 10

can you get breast implants if you have cysts?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Benign cysts in the breasts should not prevent breast augmentation, but they should be completely evaluated before proceeding with augmentation surgery.
