Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Can a new mom get implants?
Recovery following breast augment
Nov 26, 2013
Lifting following breast augmentation should be avoided for two to three weeks in most cases. It can be difficult to do that with a newborn. Also, the breast can change fairly significantly in size for a few months following breast feeding. You may be better off waiting a bit.

I need a breast lift, but I’m petrified of scars. What can I do?
Scars after breast lift
Nov 20, 2013
There are many different types of breast lifts, and they come with different scar patterns. Common terms include donut, lollipop and anchor. Your surgeon should determine which breast lift scar pattern would provide the result you desire. If you prefer a different scar pattern, there will be shape and lift trade-offs that you should be made aware of. While a perform all three types of lifts on a regular basis, the donut is best for small breasts that don’t need a great deal of lifting. The…
