Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Will leaving the implant capsule (under muscle) interfere with mammograms?
The capsule will not interfere
Jun 27, 2016
Just like the presence of a breast implant shouldn’t interfere with a mammogram and the correct diagnosis of breast cancer, the capsule should not interfere with a mammogram.
Is it necessary to have the capsule removed with explant and why?
Enbloc removeal
Jun 27, 2016
I strongly recommend the capsule to be removed.  The more explant enbloc procedures I do the more convinced I am that patients are presenting improvements in the way they feel.  There is still much to be cleared out about breast illness and the involvement or not of the breast implant and its capsule, but until we can give a precise cause to this problem and specially noticing how patients refer to improve after this procedure, I think removing both is the way to go.
Does 5 lbs. make a difference either way?
Tummy tuck and weight
Feb 17, 2016
Dear patient,After seen your pictures I think you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck.  Under the best of circumstances you should arrive to your ideal weight before doing the procedure, but 5 pounds wont make a significant difference in the outcome.  It is very important that you allocate the proper time for your recuperation, that you have someone to help you during this time and that you try to keep a healthy diet and exercise on a regular basis after you have clearance from your…
6 weeks past BR. I suddenly have a hard red spot on the side of my breast. PS put me on antibiotic 3
Post-op cellulitis.
Feb 17, 2016
It is very important that you consult with your doctor right away.  You will most likely need IV antibiotics.Best regards,Dr Urzola
Would BCBS of GA cover a breast reduction?
Breast reduction
Feb 17, 2016
Dear patient,Thank you for your question.  Although I would prefer to see your pictures or have a personal consultation with you, from your medical history, it sounds like you are an excellent candidate for a breast reduction.  The  the best indication for this surgery is in patients who’s breasts produce back problems and in your case I believe it would be on great help to alleviate the stress on your back.I hope this information was helpful.Best regards,Dr Urzola
I’m wondering what I should do about this and if I should be concerned?
Healing after breast reduction
Feb 17, 2016
Thank you for your question.  I think it is important that you consult with your surgeon for him to take care of the wound, in some cases patients might reject the suture material used in the deeper planes, it seems to me that this could be your problem, but there shouldn’t be anything to worry if your doctor sees you.Best regards,Dr Urzola 
I have notice my nipples are always hard! Is this seen a lot ?
Healing after breast reduction
Feb 17, 2016
Thank you for your question.  I am happy to know that you are having a good recovery and that your healing is going well.  It is normal to have some issues with your nipples and they normally stabilize after 6 months.  It would be very helpful for you to do superficial massages over your shirt, this will help them go back to normal faster.  I hope this information was useful.  Best regards,Dr. Urzola
