Breast lift Question

Asked 2017-03-26

I'm getting breast augmentation and the surgeon who I'm scheduled with said I will not need a breast lift. I showed my photos to my friend who works for a plastic surgeon and she reviewed it with her Doctor. He thought that I needed a lift or my implants which, are going to be place subpectoral…

Thanks for your question. Without an exam or photos it is hard to give advice. Most patients who are "borderline" elect to not have a lift b/c of additional scarring. The Vectra 3D software is a great tool to show patients their simulated outcome following an implant. This can then be adjusted to show the breast with/without a lift. Best of Luck!

Thank you for your question I'm sorry that you're having problems. It would probably be a good idea to be checked out. It could be scar tissue in the capsule or the neighboring muscle. Either way, I think that your surgeon would be able to tell you whether or not it is from the implant itself. A final option would be to deflate the implants in the office. If the pressure from the implant against the capsule is responsible then this should relieve your pain. Best of luck!

How much volume can be removed from the breast in breast reduction surgery

Asked 2017-01-25

I'm 23 years old 5'9 and I wear a 38 H bra. I want to go to at least a C cup. My question is how much would a surgeon be able to remove from my breast with one surgery and would it be covered?

Thanks for your question. Breast reduction consistently is one of the most satisfying surgeries we do for our patients. The amount of breast tissue that can be removed is based on how much we have to leave behind so that there is adequate blood supply to the nipple areolar complex. Once you have been examined, your surgeon should be able to estimate how much can be removed on each side. Unfortunately fewer and fewer reductions are getting approved by insurance companies as many will not consider them medically necessary unless a HUGE amount is resected. Some policies list it as an exclusion. This is very unfair for healthy patients who have breasts that are disproportionately large for their frame. Provided you have a BMI of less than 30 and have been seeing a doctor, chiropractor or physical therapist for treatment it should boost your chances. Best of Luck!

Thanks for your question. The symptoms you describe are likely secondary to large breast size. Breast reduction is a great operation. I'm reluctant to operate on someone less than 18 because there might be additional growth. I would definitely find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area and have a consultation. Best of Luck!
