Should I jump into breast augmentation?

Asked 2018-01-08

I'm 21 years old and I haven't been happy with my breasts for years and I have tried a few different ways to increase my breast size, are there any other ways I can naturally increase my breast size before I consider breast augmentation? I have not had any kids and I've heard after pregnancy you go…

The decision to have an augmentation is a personal one and should only be made by you and no one else. If you ask surgeons, they will ALL tell you that you can certainly have this done but whether to have it or not should be based on your needs and goals. If you want to be larger, then you really have no alternative than to have this procedure... but there is nothing natural about it, it could impact your ability to fully breast feed if you have children, and it comes with risks, both short term and long term. You have a nice B (shape and look) that you say you love... can you love it until you're done having children and your breasts have shrunk down or do you need it now for your own personal reasons?

Is it possible to have a second breast lift?

Asked 2018-01-05

I am 25 yo and have no kids. I had tuberous breast deformity on both sides. 2 years ago I got implants and periareolar lift. Unfortunately, I am not happy with the result. Implants are too big for me (even if they are 250cc and 275cc) and my breasts are saggy. I would like to get a revision after…

Second breast lifts can certainly be done but its imperative you release your records to whomever you choose to see as your surgeon will need to know how your blood supply to your nipple was designed. So things can be made better but in general, its always nice to work with your original surgeon as there are usually financial perks to minimize the costs the second time around.

Photos would be beneficial for more objective comments but nothing beats having an exam where the area of concern can be evaluated to determine if your concerns are fluid, fat, or muscle as each has a different way to manage. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon and see what options are presented to you as your surgeon should share the same desire for the best outcome possible as you are walking advertising.

I work in construction, what is considered an adequate amount of time until I can return to work after breast augmentation?

Asked 2017-12-22

I am a Crew Lead at an Insulation Company in Massachusetts. I run my own insulation jobs with 1 or 2 helpers and I'm also a smoker. I got 450cc Saline implants under the muscle and it's been exactly 4 weeks post-operative. However, I still feel a lot of muscle tightening just from doing little…

It really depends on your surgeon and the techniques used in your procedure. But most people can return to work at 6 weeks without restrictions. In my practice, primarily a submuscular practice, I allow my patients to start resuming activities as tolerated at 3 weeks post-op and to start slowly and work their way back to what they could do without thought or reservation. Ideally, you should have your surgeon's blessing and I'm sorry he doesn't seem interested in managing post-op issues and questions but he will be the one responsible for managing any post-op problems so you should clear it with him.
