Ask Doctor Grover - When should I replace my silicone breast implants?
There is no set rule as to when you should change your implants. Your implants, whether they are Allergan (McGhan) or Mentor (J&J) are warranteed for your lifetime in case of deflation or rupture. You should try not to stress or change your lifestyle to try to avoid implant failure.

Ask Doctor Grover - Can Breast Implants be placed through Tummy Tuck Incision?
Yes, it is possible to place your implants via the abdominoplasty approach. This, however, is not the best idea as you have limited visibility and will be disrupting a portion of your inframammary fold and potentially affecting the shape of your result. One smaller, but potentially disasterous complication could occur if you were to develop an infection from your abdominoplasty that would now be in direct communication with your new foreign body/implants. Additionally, the scars from the periareolar or inframammary approaches can heal beautifully.

Ask Doctor Grover - Breast Implants Surgery Cause Stretch Marks?
Although most patients who undergo breast augmentation do not experience any stretch marks or striae, some can. A person usually develops stretch marks or tears in the dermis during periods of rapid growth in the presence of high circulating hormontes (steroids), for example, during puberty or pregnancy. If one’s skin envelope is quite tight and desires a large augmentation, this type of patient could potentially suffer from some stretch marks, depending on their genetics. These stretch marks initially are red in nature but whiten with time. Usually post partum women with stretch marks find that breast implants improve the appearance of their stretch marks.

Ask Doctor Grover - Increased Capsular Contracture Risk with Breast Implants Replacement?
Replacing your implant with a smaller one in the same pocket should be fine if using a gel implant. If you are thin with little breast tissue, you will want to avoid a saline implant in the subglandular position to avoid rippling. With regards to capsular contracture, you should be fine keeping your implants in the same pocket if you currently have soft breasts.
Realize, however, that anyone with silicone implants can at some point develop a capsular contracture. There is evidence to show that the submuscular position has a decreased incidence of capsular contractures but this may not be your best option at this point and given that you are a personal trainer.

Ask Doctor Grover - Downsizing Breast Implants Is Possible, but Not Always Best Option
It is always possible to downsize your implants, but it may not always be the right thing. In your case, you mention that you previously had 400cc anatomical breast implants but was not satisfied with the size. 450 or 500 cc moderate plus implants will not be much bigger than the 400s you had before.
Ask your surgeon to place several temporary sizers during surgery to help you achieve a nice balance and result you are seeking.

Ask Doctor Grover - Tightness and Discomfort Normal for Post Breast Implants Surgery in Orange County
There are many factors involved that could contribute to a feeling of tightness or pressure following breast augmentation. One will generally feel tighter after a primary/first time augmentation, more so if completely under the muscle as opposed to partially under the muscle. Gentle massage and full time bra support may give you some assistance.

Ask Doctor Grover - Does Orange County Breast Reduction Include Breast Lift?
Most breast reductions will lift the breasts as well. There are rare instances when a breast reduction will be performed with liposcuction 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 Implants Settling into Place
It takes 4-6 weeks for your breast implants to ’settle’. There are many factors involved, including the tightness of your breast skin, envelope, the size and profile of your implant, the surface of the implant, and whether your implants were placed entirely under the muscle or partially under the muscle.
In reality, it is not that the implants have to ‘move’ down or ’settle’, it’s just that the lower pole of the breast tissue and skin needs to expand. Be patient.

Breast Implants Placement Under or Over Breast Muscle Effects Natural Look of Breasts
Breast implants are placed either on top of the muscle, entirely below the muscle, or partially under the muscle in a dual plane approach. I generally prefer the dual plane, partial retropectoral approach because, in my hands, I am able to achieve a more natural, tear drop shape with this technique because it prevents the implant from being too high in position on the chest wall in a unnatural position. Best advice is to seek a board certified plastic surgeon at surgery.org to set up a consultation to determine what is the best option for you. Good luck!

Prepare yourself prior to going in for a consultation. You will want to ask yourself many questions before going in for a consultation and upon your search for your plastic surgeon. Three questions to start with include:

(2) Is your surgeon a member of ASPS (plasticsurgery.org) and ASAPS (surgery.org), and;
(3) does my surgeon have a valid license to practice medicine/any actions taken against my surgeon (check your state’s medical board’s website). Good luck.
