Breast Augmentation and Pain Killers

Thank you for your question.
Every surgeon is different when it comes to post-operative care, so it is important to ask these questions. It is certainly reasonable to undergo a cosmetic procedure without the use of opioids if you are concerned. With my patients, I use a long-acting nerve block called Exparel which tricks the body into thinking you didn’t have surgery for up to 72 hours. Most of my patients are able to get by with just using extra strength Tylenol. If something of additional…

Breast Augmentation

Thank you for your question.
With breast augmentations in patients who are very active like yourself, I recommend placing the implants above the muscles. This will reduce the implant shifting into the axillary region as well as the pectoral muscle animation. I recommend speaking with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

With any breast implant procedure, you can expect discomfort and swelling intermittently within the first year. New activities such as upper body workouts, laying on your stomach, and even coughing can cause a short period of additional discomfort as the pectoral muscles are working with the added tension of the implant depending on if the location is above or below the muscle. If you are experiencing extreme discomfort, I recommend speaking with your plastic…

Can anyone drain a seroma? Should it only be done by a doctor or licensed person?
Seroma
Jan 15, 2023
Jan 15, 2023
Thank you for your question.
Seromas, or fluid build ups should ideally be drained by someone with expertise in this area. This can be your surgeon, a PA, a registered nurse, etc. If interventional radiology is necessary, your doctor can refer you to a specialist who can assist you in this procedure.

Asymmetrical breast lift – should I get a lift on both breasts again?
Breast Lift
Jan 15, 2023
Jan 15, 2023
Thank you for your question.
Based on your photos, it appears that you have asymmetric inframammary folds. In order to accomplish better symmetry, one would either need to be brought high or lower. In regards to the nipples, a small incision around the area would be enough to reduce the size. I recommend speaking to a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Abdominoplasty
Jan 15, 2023
Jan 15, 2023
Thank you for your question.
Based on your photos, I believe that a traditional abdominoplasty would give you a great aesthetic. An abdominoplasty will be able to remove the excess tissue between the umbilicus and the pubic region, create a youthful umbilicus, and repair your rectus muscles that may have been separated during child bearing. This will leave you with a flatter, smoother contour to the abdomen. I also tend to liposuction the flanks in order to provide an hour glass figure. I…

Thank you for your question.
In a combined procedure like you are describing, you would need coordination from both your OBGYN and your plastic surgeon. It is definitely possible, but I recommend speaking with both of your doctors to begin finding time for this procedure.

Thank you for your question.
Without a full insight into your medical and surgical history, it is difficult to comment on why your scarring appears the way it does. You may qualify for a scar revision; however, there is no guarantee that this healing issue will not persist. I recommend speaking with your plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Breast Reduction
Jan 15, 2023
Jan 15, 2023
Thank you for your question.
Based on your photos, I believe you may be a candidate for a breast reduction. By reducing the breast and lifting the position of the nipple, you will likely be left with a perkier, more youthful appearing breast. Please keep in mind that natural tissue will sag over time due to gravity and the skin integrity, so expect for the breasts to be lower over time. I recommend speaking with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and concerns.

Jan 15, 2023
Jan 15, 2023
Thank you for your question.
There is no guarantee that with another breast implant procedure you will not experience any discomfort. Keep in mind that a larger volume implant is a higher weight and thus gravity will have a great impact on your natural breasts with potential back pain as a side effect. I recommend speaking with your plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns.

Thank you for your question.
Based on your photos, I believe that a breast lift would give you a much better aesthetic. By lifting the breast and nipple, you will be left with a perkier, more youthful appearing breast. There is no contraindication of having a breast lift and having children as the chances of losing breast milk supply in both breasts is extremely unlikely. I recommend speaking with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Pre-Operative Clearance
Jan 15, 2023
Jan 15, 2023
Thank you for your question.
Prior to any elective procedure, you will be required to get pre-operative clearance with your primary care provider. A short series of tests will help your doctor determine whether or not your body is well enough to undergo the procedure and anesthesia. With a past medical history of heart attacks, you will likely need to undergo an additional cardiac clearance. Oftentimes, you will need to be off of all medications prior to surgery in order to decrease the risk…

Finding Your Surgeon
Jan 15, 2023
Jan 15, 2023
Thank you for your question.
Selecting a plastic surgeon is all up to personal preference. At the minimum, you should look for a surgeon who is board certified and working at an accredited facility. All surgeons are likely to have results that are not ideal which can be due to a number of factors; however, it is based on how comfortable you are. If you are on the fence between surgeons, I recommend having multiple consultations to find which is right for you.
