Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Will getting my implants out without the capsule lower my chance of developing cancer in the brea
Removing the capsule from silicone implants and its relation to ALCL
Feb 12, 2019
The current lifetime risk for the development of ALCL is quoted as anywhere from 1/3,800-1/ 30,000, for women with textured implants. Common symptoms include breast enlargement, pain, asymmetry or a large fluid collection typically lasting more than a year. ALCL patients seem to develop an allergic reaction to the texturing around the implants. Therefore it is recommended that the implant and capsule be completely removed.
Is explanting a breast implant via the armpit more difficult/expensive than explanting underneath
Implant removal through the armpit
Feb 12, 2019
Breast implants can be removed through the armpit. It is easier to remove saline implants since they can simply be deflated and then taken out. Removing silicone implants is more difficult as they may rupture while being removed. If I do remove them through the armpit I will often use the endoscope to be certain no silicone has been left behind. If the silicone implants are all ready ruptured and they have a significant capsule around them, I suggest having them removed from an incision...
What can be done when a doctor didn't do a procedure correctly without having to file a lawsuit?
Symmastia correction
Feb 12, 2019
Symmastia is a difficult problem to correct in even the most experienced surgeons hands. It appears from the photo's that the problem was corrected but you still have some remaining skin that did not contract around the implant. I would you suggest you return to your surgeon and ask them to re-evaluate the problem. It could be that some of the remaining skin could be removed through a minor excision. If you are not satisfied with your original surgeon's response to your complaint seek...
How Long to Wait Before Fixing Capsular Contracture?
When to operate on an early development capsular contracture
Aug 8, 2016
Your capsular contracture has occurred very early after an initial breast augmentation. It may improve over time with some regular massage of the breast. I generally will wait at least 6-12 months after an augmentation before considering any surgery . If I think surgery is indicated I will first try a capsulotomy ( cutting of the capsular tissue) often under a local anesthetic with light oral sedation. This will often correct the problem with a minimally invasive...
I'm Trying to Figure out How What my Best Option is for Lateral Displacement?
lateral displacement of implants
Aug 8, 2016
I have found that lateral displacement of implants usually requires a tightening of the breast pocket. This can sometimes be done with sutures if the breast tissue is not to thinned out and the implant is not too large. More often I have found that a dermal matrix such as Strattice or Surgimend is necessary to create the internal bra and hold the implant in place.
Pockets Made Too Big Implants Move Around & Hang too Low, Can This Be Corrected Without an Uplift
Implants that have dropped to low
Aug 8, 2016
Correcting your implant problem means revising the breast pocket that the implants are in. Correcting the breast pocket may involve moving the implant into a new position under the muscle and then possible adding in a biologic dermal matrix such as Strattice or Surgimend to help support the implant in its new position. The dermal matrix will act like an internal bra. Once the implant has been repositioned then the breast, nipple position, and shape can be...
I recently had my 575cc saline implants replaced with 375cc saline and had an anchor lift too. I
Changing to a larger implant after breast lift
Aug 8, 2016
Increasing the size of the implant by 100-150cc is going to bring you closer to the breast size you were previously . That should give your breasts more projection and fullness. If the original breast pocket was made smaller at the time of the implant exchange and anchor lift, it should be relatively easy to add a larger implant. It is always easier to increase the pocket size than to reduce it. I doubt going to a larger implant size will initially affect the breast...

Breast Augmentation - What is the difference between moderate plus and high profile?
Moderate profile vs High Profile implants
Aug 8, 2016
Implants sizes are measured in cc increments or ml increments. A moderate profile implant has a lower profile or projection in the breast than a high profile implant. For instance a 350cc implant that is a moderate profile will be flatter and wider than a high profile implant that has 350cc of silicone gel in it. The high profile implant will be more narrow and have a higher profile. When patients select an implant for augmentation they should ask their surgeon to try on sizers in both...
Neck Firming Options
sagging turkey neck
Jul 26, 2016
The sagging turkey neck is the result usually of both loose skin and and laxity in the muscles of the neck. The only way to correct this deformity is by surgical tightening of the muscles and removal and tightening of the skin.. There are no non surgical procedures to correct this deformity. Thermage and Ultherapy have little use in correcting the turkey neck deformity;
Would a neck lift be the best option?
Neck lift at 31 yrs of age
Jul 26, 2016
Generally a neck lift involves some sort of surgical procedure to tighten the skin and or the muscle . Often fat is also removed from the neck. The surgical procedure depends upon the degree of skin laxity. You have fairly minimal skin laxity at this time and at your age. I would not recommend surgery for your neck. Your cosmetic deformity is fairly minimal at this time
Breast Implant Illness.
safety in silicone breast implants
Jul 26, 2016
Breast implants are a medical device. As such, they have been extensively studied by the FDA. Since the original claim in 1992 that breast implants could cause autoimmune disease a lot of research has been done at many major teaching institutions. I participated in research protocols at the Mayo clinic, the Emory clinic, and in private practice for over ten years. There is no known link between silicone implants and the risk for autoimmune diseases. Breast implants can still have...
Do I have a higher risk of TT or MMO complications? Adopted with no medical history
complications with Tummy Tuck
Jul 26, 2016
The risk of deep venous thrombosis or Pulmonary embolus is certainly higher in certain patients. Patients with incompetent venous systems are at a higher risk. I would recommend getting a venous doppler study to evaluate your legs. If that is normal, I would recommend you be put on a short term course of blood thinners after surgery to help prevent a DVT
Which one is better for tightening of face not neck, MACS of mini facelift?
MACS lift vs Minifacelift
Jul 18, 2016
A MACS lift is just a means of tightening the tissues underneath the skin, These tissues are commonly referred to as the SMAS. A MACS lift can be combined with a mini facelift. A mini facelift will usually only address the loose skin in the upper face region, but will not help with loose skin in the neck. The MACS lift tightening procedure can give additional support and lifting power to a traditional mini facelift which often just removes and tightens the skin.I perform the...
Alloderm Complications
Alloderm in the breast
Jul 18, 2016
I have been using Alloderm in the breast for both reconstruction and secondary breast augmentation corrections for 15 years, It is a very useful dermal matrix product. I use it primarily in my breast reconstructions as it is quite expensive ,but usually the costs are covered by insurance companies. Alloderm becomes incorporated into your own tissues if it is placed into a proper environment. If the mastectomy flaps are created with great care and there is adequate good supply, the...
