Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I'm 18 yrs old. Are my Breasts Tubular?
Treatment for Tuberous Breasts
Oct 9, 2017
Tuberous breasts are caused by constricted growth of the breast. In normal breast tissue, a fascial envelope covers breast. In a tuberous breast, this fascia is tight, restricting the growth of the lower pole of the breast. As a result, the breast tissue can start to herniate thru the areola. In your case, it appears to be constricted, but not starting to herniate thru the areola.
Unfortunately, a tuberous breast deformity does not resolve on its own. A Board...
How Long After Breast Augmentation Can I Wear a Push-up Bra?
Push Up Bra After Breast Augmentation
Oct 9, 2017
Healing from breast augmentation surgery is usually complete around six to eight weeks after surgery. Around this time, patients are instructed to wear a bra that is comfortable for them. Most of the swelling from surgery should have resolved, so the bra size should be stable at this point.
The picture is not an ideal view of your post-operative results. Please visit with your surgeon to evaluate the implant position. Accurate surgical dissection and proper implant...
Why are my breasts separated, nipples puffy, and very pointy?
Breasts come in all shapes and sizes
Jun 27, 2017
Just as no 2 snowflakes are the same, neither are breasts. Your breasts are NORMAL. Breasts come in all shapes and sizes, just like the rest of our body. I'm sure you have a different bottom, and different face from your friend as well. Just like every part of a women, society has decided what an ideal shape and size of the body looks like, and of course this differs from ethnicity as well as an individuals personal preferences. Plastic Surgeons are trained to recognize these...
Loss of Sensation After Breast Augmentation?
Sensation loss after breast augmentation
Jun 27, 2017
Sensory loss after breast augmentation is generally temporary and returns after approximately 3 months. If the surgical incision was made under the breast fold, the lower part of your breast may feel numb, as well as the nipple. Nipple sensation could be decreased after surgery in approximately 40 percent of patients, and may be long lasting in up to 6%. Using a peri-areolar incision or a larger implant may increase the risk for nipple sensory changes.
How Long to Wait to Have Sex After Breast Augmentation?
Sex after breast augmentation
Jun 27, 2017
Hello,
In general, all strenuous activity should be limited in the first 2 to 3 weeks to avoid elevating your heart rate and blood pressure which can help prevent a blood collection (hematoma) forming in your breast. I usually tell my patients to listen to their bodies, it will tell you when you are ready. If your implant was placed under the muscle, you likely will be too sore in the first few days to enjoy sexual activity. Some women experience...
Will Breast Keep Growing After 23?
Breast growth completion
Jun 22, 2017
Breast growth occurs during puberty, and once puberty is complete, so is the size of your breasts. Breast size may change with weight changes, pregnancy or while taking oral contraceptives. Breast growth is typically complete by age 18. Other signs of completion of sexual maturity in women include pubic hair with adult distribution and onset of menses.
Pain, Swelling, Nipple Sensitivity After Breast Augmentation Surgery
Pain and Nipple sensitivity after Breast Augmentation Surgery
Jun 20, 2017
Hello,
It is normal to have swelling and pain after breast augmentation. Nipple hypersensitivity is also very common. Usually this symptom is self resolving after a few months. It occurs due to the stretching of the sensory nerves during implant placement. Nerve pain also can feel like burning or pins and needles type sensation. The medical term for this condition is dysesthesia, or unpleasant abnormal sense of touch. To ease the symptoms, some patients may try light...
Should I Wear Surgical Bra After Breast Augmentation?
Surgical bra after breast augmentation
Jun 13, 2017
Every plastic surgeon has a different protocol for breast augmentation after surgery. I personally had a breast augmentation, and my surgeon did not put me in a bra after surgery. And I can tell you, I immediately went home and put on a sports bra that opened in the front. In my opinion, I felt more comfortable, and more support. That being said, other surgeons believe that going bra-less allows the implants to fall into position naturally. Every patient feels different after...
Breast Lift versus Breast Augmentation
Breast lift verus breast augmentation
Jun 13, 2017
Hello,
A breast lift or mastopexy is a procedure where the surgeon lifts the breast tissue and nipple to restore it back to its youthful position on the chest. Sagging breast tissue is known as breast ptosis. Sagging breast tissue occurs as we age, and especially after pregnancy. A breast lift scar will vary depending on the amount of excess skin and nipple position on the chest. A nipple that is pointed down or drooping below the majority of the breast...
How to Bring the Natural Boobs Closer Together?
Wide spacing between breasts
Jun 13, 2017
Hello,
Breasts come in all different shapes and sizes. How the breast sits on the chest differs between women as well. Some women have more space between the breasts, others are closer together. Some women have round breasts, some have more conical breasts. It appears from the photo that your breasts are more wide, and surgical correction for narrowing the breast space is not recommended. Of course, a breast implant could be placed to help narrow this gap, but it would also increase...
How Long Do I Have to Sleep on my Back After Breast Augmentation?
Sleep position after breast augmentation
Jun 9, 2017
Immediately after surgery, I recommend patients to sleep on their back with a few pillows underneath or even in a recliner. If the breast implants are placed under the muscle, the muscle will contract every time you push up from sitting, and that hurts! Sleeping on your back will also avoid pressure on the surgical wounds and implants. In general it takes your body to heal in four to six weeks, given your are experiencing a normal recovery. In general, I would...
Advice for Exercise After Breast Augmentation?
Exercise after breast augmentation
Jun 9, 2017
In my opinion, light exercise after breast augmentation can begin about 3 weeks after surgery. This of course depends on your individual recovery and the type of procedure performed. Immediately after surgery light walking is encouraged. I generally recommend to start with light cardio and work up to strengthening exercises between 4 to 6 weeks. I think its important to listen to your body. If it hurts, back down a bit or wait another week. Everyone...
What happens if you get sick with a cough or cold before surgery?
Cold or cough before surgery
Jun 9, 2017
Hello,
In my opinion, getting a viral illness, like the common cold, is a definite reason to reschedule surgery. Comestic surgery is elective, and you want to be in perfect health before undergoing general anesthesia and optimize your recovery and minimize your risk for complications related to anesthesia, like pneumonia. Going to sleep under general anesthesia collapses some of the alveoli in your lungs, which in turn decrease the amount of oxygen you breath, and may increase your chances...
Signs of Capsular Contracture After Breast Augmentation?
Breast implant capsular contracture
Jun 5, 2017
Capsular contracture develops as the capsule, the scar-like tissue, around your breast implant thickens. It may first be noticeable only by touching your breasts, and noting a more firm feel to the implants. As the condition worsens, the implants appear more visible, as your natural breast tissue sags away from the implant. You may also experience breast pain or changes in your breast shape. I would recommend a consultation with a...
How Do You Massage Breasts After Breast Augmentation?
Breast massage after breast augmentation
May 26, 2017
Every surgeon is going to have a different method or protocol for breast implant massage. Stick to your surgeons advice. Seeing that there is no clinical data existing on massage and the development of capsular contracture, it may not be crucial. Surgeons typically recommended implant massage on smooth implants to prevent a capsule formation or tight pocket. Starting as early as post op day 3 you can start implant displacement exercises. Your goal is to...
