revision gynecomastia
Jan 6, 2022
Just wondering if you had worn a compression binder after surgery and how long?If it feels like fluid, it may be a chronic seroma, or it may just be due to inadequate tissue removal.I almost always perform a removal of tissue under the nipple and surrounding area in addiition to liposuction peripherallyPlease consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. It may be possible to remove a bit more below the nipple area under local anesthesia.
Right breast is bigger 5 months post-op, and unhappy with lift results
reconstructive breast surgery
Jan 6, 2022
Unfortunately you elected to go out of country for your surgery and one of the the drawbacks is that you can not return to Turkey to see your surgeon. I would recommend that you wait one year for everything to settle down and then consider making an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeonKeep in mind that revision breast surgery has its risks and there may be a chance of further complications,

Workout post BA?
workout might want to wait?
Jun 26, 2016
My patients wear their bras day and night for 2 weeks after surgery. The incisions are below the breast at the crease and I recommend that they keep their arms down for 3 weeks. Physical activity is usually restricted for 2 months Please discuss this with your surgeon if it feels strange to you. You might  also consider daily massage of your breasts if your surgeon agrees.
Breast lift or just augmentation?
lift/augmentation vs augmentation alone
Jun 22, 2016
You should first make sure that your surgeon is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and arrange a consultation making sure that all your questions have been answered. It is always good to make a list before you see him or her. A second consultation may be necessary if you have further questions. If you would like more fullness in the superior pole or upper chest, then you will need implants in addition to a breast lift. There are more complications associated…
How Do You Massage Breasts After Breast Augmentation?
massage, massage, massage!
Jun 22, 2016
Different answers from different surgeons!!Really depends on the type of implant you have, most surgeons who place textured implants will not want their patients to massage because they would favor ingrowth of tissue to keep the implants where they are placed and some think that capsular contracture may be less. Well there is no confirmation, and I can only say since I almost always use smooth implants, that I feel massage is great, and may even keep the breasts soft long term. I have never…
Breast lift and removal of old implants and replaced. Any suggestions?
Breast lift and smaller implants
Jun 15, 2016
The risk would be the same as with your first procedure unless you have developed medical problems like diabetes or heart disease. Another important factor in your healing process is whether you smoke. I would recommend that you stop smoking COMPLETELY one month before and one month after to avoid complications.   Always try and look for a board certified plastic surgeon with hospital privileges nearby.    The surgery will probably involve a horizontal and vertical scar and the implants can…

Jun 15, 2016
It is not a high risk procedure, but most important, please make sure your surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon.Any surgery has inherent risks i.e. infection, bleeding, unsatisfactory result, etc. It is important that you discuss the possible risks with your plastic surgeon before any procedure.
