In fact you have so little tissue that consideration should be given to using an anatomic or shaped gel implant in order to achieve a more natural looking outcome. In someone like yourself even a moderate sized round implant under the muscle…

Is rippling and muscle weakness on one side after 335cc submuscular naturel gel implant normal? (

Rippling and Muscle Weakness post BA?
Nov 22, 2017

The discomfort and/or change in your breast shape with muscle flexion is something called animation change or animation deformity. It is something that can occur when implants are placed under the muscle but it should be a rare or minimally noticeable problem if your surgery is performed carefully. Things that can make this problem worse include saline implants, smooth surface implants. larger implants, and certain variations in the specific anatomy of a patients muscle. I assume that yo…

Facelift in Costa Rica? Horrible Outcome?
Nov 17, 2017

No kidding. So you went to Costa Rica to have your facelift for less money and now you have terrible complication. Is this a surprise? I, like a high percentage of my Plastic Surgeon colleagues, have seen a depressingly large number of ugly complications from plastic surgery performed in exotic locations (Costa Rica, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Thailand, Korea, to name a few). What happened to the white sand beaches, swaying palm trees, and solicitous caretakers that are advertised as be…

I’m experiencing Capsular Contracture for the 3rd time! Undergoing Aspen treatment for CC. Level

Recurrent Capsular Contracture?
Oct 26, 2017

The problem of multiply recurrent capsular contracture is exceedingly frustrating for both the patient and surgeon, and unfortunately there are no guaranteed fixes. This is why it makes sense to take every precaution to prevent capsular contracture from ever occurring in the first place.Four operations and three capsulectomies in a year seems a bit excessive. It doesn’t make sense to keep repeating the same operation over and over and expecting to get a different outcome (What is the de…

Are there any videos out there to watch that show you the proper technique to massage your breast

Massage Breasts?
Oct 13, 2017

Breast massage post augmentation is completely unnecessary. It is uncomfortable and unless the seems to not be settling into place it is of no benefit. In addition it does not prevent capsular contracture. But if your surgeon insists you should ask them to instruct you on technique.

Is there any way I could get a good result without a lift?

Good Result Without a Lift?
Oct 10, 2017

You are quite correct in your understanding that it is not a good idea to use large implants when doing a lift at the same time because there will be an excessively high rate of complications or poor results. It also a bad idea to use large implants with a Benelli type of lift because it leads to an enlarged areola and poor scars. Also, in general it is not a good idea to try to use a large implant in an effort to avoid a lift because it will result in a large low positioned breast with…

Is bruising, internal blood & high implant normal if a hematoma has been ruled out?

Not a Hematoma?
Oct 7, 2017

It depends on how you define it, but some amount of blood within the implant pocket would be considered a hematoma, although there may not be enough to be seen as a significant mass on ultrasound. Your history suggests that you had some late bleeding after your breast augmentation which was self limited, but not trivial, because there is obvious swelling and your right implant is clearly higher. Bruising can take some time to show up as the blood gradually disperses through your tissues. I…

My scar on my breast lift has stretched 2″ below my implants.

Stretched Breast Lift scars?
Sep 25, 2017

Unfortunately, just about everything that could go wrong with a breast lift with implants has gone wrong for you. It is important to recognize that the simultaneous combination of breast lift with implants has a very high complication and revision rate. The risks are even higher if a major lift is needed or a larger implant is used. You actually haven’t provided us with complete information and looking at your previous posts it appears that you also had a tummy tuck at the same time as y…

Uneven breasts after implants. Do I need correction?

Uneven Implants?
Sep 22, 2017

I would start by asking what side looks better to you. Based on what we can see from your photos your right breast looks slightly bottomed out and the left side looks more appropriately positioned with the implant centered behind the nipple.Given that your left side is not dropping with vigorous massage it suggests that you might be developing capsular contracture and massage will not help. You can continue with the massage to see if there is improvement and will need to wait up to six m…

Do I need lift with BA? What are my options?

Do I Need a Lift?
Sep 21, 2017

It is important to recognize that photographs provide limited information so any recommendations or advice will be qualified. It appears from your photo that you fall into a borderline situation. You could probably “get away” with just an implant, but your breasts would be positioned low on your chest wall and you would not have nice upper pole fullness or cleavage. Understandably most patients would prefer to avoid the additional scars that are associated with a lift, but the alternative …

I want to have liposuction but am concerned about malignant hypothermia. Any advice?

Liposuction and Malignant Hyperthermia?
Sep 15, 2017

It is important to clarify some serious misconceptions here. Board Certified Anesthesiologists spend years in training to learn how to safely perform anesthesia. They are not trained in, and do not “specialize” in Cosmetic Medicine. Your anesthesiologist may have gone to a weekend course in liposuction but that does not make them expert in liposuction or in cosmetic medicine. On the other hand, a Real Plastic Surgeon (someone certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery) will have s…

I was recommended a crescent lift at my first consult, good plan?

Good Plan?
Sep 15, 2017

A crescent lift is a worthless operation. It does nothing to lift your breast and will lead to elongation and distortion of your areola along with a potentially wide and irregular scar. Most thoughtful surgeons do not give it a moments consideration.You are starting from a more difficult place and this is why there is some consideration for a breast lift. Your lower breast is under developed with a slightly downwards pointing nipple and en elevated and tight inframammary fold. In order to a…

I’m being quoted $1,500 dollars for Exparel. Does that seem reasonable? Is there a cheaper generi

Price for Exparel Reasonable?
Sep 14, 2017

Most surgeons find Exparel to be useful in reducing post operative pain, particularly with a Tummy Tuck. We routinely include Exparel in the cost of your surgery and do not charge extra because we believe that it makes your recovery easier. Depending on the supplier the cost of a vial of Exparel is around $350-$400, so either your surgeon or the surgery center is profiting handsomely at your expense. There is no comparable generic alternative.

My platysmal bands seem more prominent AFTER my lower neck lift including a platysmaplasty. What

Prominent Platysmal Bands?
Sep 13, 2017

Sorry, but it is quite clear from your photos that your platysma bands were either not treated, or whatever was done was completely ineffective, because the bands are glaringly obvious. It is certainly true that a neck lift can “unmask” previously less noticeable platysma bands, and the bands are then more prominent after the procedure, so perhaps they were never addressed.There are a number of ways to correct platysma bands and the treatment could include plication (sewing them together), p…

Pixie Ears After Facelift?
Sep 7, 2017

Before and after photos would be very useful in evaluating the degree of distortion of your ears, but the poor outcome of “pixie ears” typically is a result of poor surgical planning and execution. Remember that when you go to a residents clinic for your facelift you are consciously making a decision to accept the tradeoff of lower cost for having your surgery performed by an extremely inexperienced surgeon. Hopefully Dr. Nguyen has learned a great deal from your unfortunate outcome. If your…
