If I decide to have another baby will it ruin the look of my breast augmentation?
Changes of a breast augmentation after pregnancy
Jul 29, 2022
Not necessarily and it often results in a more natural look. Many patients have a child after a breast augmentation and the shape of the breast afterwards will depend upon how much the breast changes with pregnancy and weight gain and how long nursing occurred. Pregnancy and nursing typically enlarges the breast and stretch the skin which may create stretch marks and decrease the elasticity of the skin. The breast tissue itself often atrophies (shrinks) to a smaller volume after pregnancy…
4 years post op – can feel implant towards lower part of the breast – can almost pop it in and out (sort
Implant shell palpability
Jul 29, 2022
What you describe is common which is the implant shell that could be folding on itself with time. The upper part of the breast implant is typically covered by the pectoral muscle and upper pole breast tissue compared to the lower pole where the implant which is mostly covered with breast tissue or nearby chest skin that is now part of the breast. The tissue is thinner here which can also thin even more with time making the implant more palpable. This is especially true near the old breast…

We often do “Westernization” or double eyelid surgery particularly in the Asian (or non-Asian) patient who desire a fold where one is absent. Sutures are used to anchor the lid crease at the desired level. It can be used to change the level of the folds of both eyes if desired. Sometimes excess skin is also removed if more eyelid show is desired. …
Would it make a difference in medial cleavage to choose high profile implants vs. ultra high profile impl
Would it make a difference in medical cleavage to choose high profile implants vs. ultra high profile implants?
Oct 14, 2017
Thank you for submitting your question. Cleavage, projection, upper pole fullness, and side breast are important in determining the shape of the breasts. Many measurements are taken on the breast including the base width of your breast and distance between the nipples. Implants are generally centered under the nipple-areolar complex and wider implants create more cleavage and side breast. I determine the maximum width of an implant that I can fit in the breast (usually under…
