Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Antibiotics after breast augmentation
Antibiotics after breast augmentation
Jul 27, 2018
Thanks for your question and I certainly understand your concern. Fortunately, the protocol of administering antibiotics after surgery is no longer followed much of the time, particularly in a case like yours. In fact, Australia guidelines advise against post-operative antibiotics and recommend instead a single dose given intravenously right before surgery. Many American doctors follow a similar protocol. Make sure to discuss your concerns in detail with your surgeon and don’t be afraid to s…
Should I stop NUVARING before BA?
Should I stop NUVARING before BA?
Jul 27, 2018
Thank you for your inquiry and I understand your concern. Not all surgeons require patients to stop taking birth control pills before a breast augmentation. If that is a protocol your surgeon follows, it is definitely worth asking whether the NUVARING would be a problem during your procedure. You can also check in with your gynaecologist to get a second recommendation. Many surgeons believe that it is more important for a woman to continue their method of birth control rather than risk an…
Is there a good or bad time of day to get a breast augmentation?
Time of day for a breast augmentation
Jul 27, 2018
Interesting question. I understand your concerns about the time change on your procedure, but rest assured an experienced plastic surgeon will provide the same quality of surgical technique throughout the day. Most plastic surgeons are accustomed to full days in the operating room. More important than the time of your surgery is selecting a qualified, credentialed specialist plastic surgeon that has extensive experience in a variety of breast augmentation techniques to ensure an optimal…
How many ccs in an extra filled silicone implant? I’m kind of nervous to go too big.
How many ccs in an extra filled silicone implant
Jul 27, 2018
Thank you for your question and I appreciate your concern. Some silicone implants come slightly underfilled, which can lead to rippling. This may be why your surgeon is recommending the additional filling. However, if you are concerned about the size, you can always opt for a smaller implant to ensure your breasts do not become too full after surgery. I advise you to talk to your surgeon in more detail about your concerns and your aesthetic goals to ensure an optimal outcome. I also…
I’m ready, 1st step? Should I start going for consultations now?
Breast Augmentation
Jul 27, 2018
Thanks for your question and how exciting that you are ready to move forward with breast augmentation. While you have taken many good steps in preparing for your procedure thus far, your selection of a surgeon to perform your augmentation will be by far the most important one. Take your time to research doctors to ensure that they have the qualifications and experience necessary to ensure a safe and successful procedure. You can schedule consultations with a few of those physicians to see if…
Are there any negatives in building muscle mass before getting the surgery?
Building muscle before breast augmentation
Jul 27, 2018
Hello and thanks for your question. Your surgeon will likely take into account the amount of muscle mass you have at the time of your surgery, selecting the technique and implant placement that will meet your needs best. Women that actively engage in weight training will often opt to have their implants placed above their chest muscle to prevent distortion when the muscle is flexed. Other than that, there is no real contraindication involved with building muscle mass prior to breast…
Is it a red flag if a doctor has almost no online reviews?
Online Reviews
Jul 27, 2018
Thank you for your question. While I understand your concern, a lack of online reviews doesn’t provide much information about a surgeon one way or another. While some surgeons are quite involved with social media and encourage patients to post reviews, others are not so active in this space. There are other qualifications to look for that will tell you whether your surgeon is qualified to perform your procedure. Number of years of experience and credentials are certainly something to c…
