Orange County Cosmetic Surgeon Q & A

Ask Doctor Grover – Breast Reduction can Lift Breast

Most breast reductions will lift the breasts as well. There are rare instances when a breast reduction will be performed with liposuction alone. Liposuction would rarely ‘lift’ the breast unless there is fantastic elasticity. Many breast reduction techniques will utilize the same incisions used for a breast lift with or without a breast implant.

Ask Doctor Grover – Breast Lift Surgery

A lift will help your droopy breasts but will require some scars. You may or may not require an implant as well depending on the quality and quantity of your breast tissue. With a breast lift, your own breast tissue can be restructured to give the appearance of a fuller breast. The extent of scars for a mastopexy will depend on the extent of droopiness and the quality of your skin.

Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon Q & A

Dual Pane Breast Implants Technique – Less Scarring, Great Results

There are many options when considering breast augmentation…silicone, saline; smooth, textured; round, anatomical; moderate profile, high profile; on top of the muscle, completely under the muscle, or partially under the muscle; lift, no lift etc.

Generally speaking, if a patient has a somewhat droopy or ptotic breast and would like to avoid additional scars for a breast lift, they will be better served by having their implants placed partially under the muscle (dual plane) or on top of the muscle.  Having said this, patients who have lost weight or have had their breast tissue atrophy following nursing will have a much more naturally feeling breast with silicone implants versus saline implants.  As you can see, there are many options.

Meet with a few plastic surgeons to get a better understanding of what is best for you.  A nice place to find board certified plastic surgeons is at www.surgery.org, the website for The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Orange County Cosmetic Surgeon Q & A

Pregnancy and Nursing Will Change Breasts

A woman’s breast will change following pregnancy and nursing and time alone.  Following pregnancy and nursing, breast will enlarge and engorge, and then will atrophy or involute. This will leave the breast ‘droopier’ and thinner, and can cause the nipple to descend.  If you are thin to start with and have little breast tissue, you will notice that you can feel the implant much more. This is especially common with saline implants where rippling can be noticed. You should visit your board-certified plastic surgeon to have him/her evaluate if you would benefit from an implant exchange to a high profile silicone implant with or without a lift.
