While I’m very happy for the 83-year old woman in the piece for her happiness over her “new” $8,000 breasts, the piece was framed like an expensive billboard for plastic surgeons – only it didn’t cost them anything. The Times gave away the advertising space. The story states: “There are as many reasons for getting plastic surgery as there are older patients, experts say”…and…”some are simply sick of slackened jowls, jiggly underarms and saggy eyelids.” There are a few other perspectives in the middle of the piece: “Some critics question whether the benefits are worth the risks, which may be...

I want an explant because they are uncomfortable and look unnatural. My doctor said that since the capsulectomy did not resolve the issue, he recommends having an explant and waiting about 6 months to a year. After my body has healed properly, he said that I can get implants again and will not get capsular contraction again. Is this accurate? Am I less likely to get capsular contraction or will I be free of capsular contraction? I’m also looking for a doctor experienced in explants. The subject of hardened breast implants (Capsular Contracture) comes up frequently as it is the leading cause of long term dissatisfaction with breast implants. If your breasts tend to hurt or look unnatural, you likely have sever...

I admit I had not thought about how the incision might interfere with future sentinel lymph node assessment prior to this article (full reference below).

PT1992, “I think you did my surgery.  One of my saline implants has burst.” “Let me put you on hold.  I’ll look and see if you were ever our patient.” I am acutely aware that I don’t recognize the voice or patient name, but feel I am okay with HIPAA to verify to PT1992 that indeed we once had a patient by that name. I then as politely as I can tell her, “I will need a signed medical records release to give you any more information as I don’t know your voice and have no other way to verify whom I am speaking with.” She seems to accept this, but then says “Can you just tell me which company made the implants?” I repeat the above.

The authors conducted a retrospective review of patient demographics and implant information from three university settings: Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada), Loma Linda (California, USA), and Temple (Texas, USA). Each cohort included 100 consecutive breast augmentation cases. Characteristics analyzed included age, height, weight, BME, parity, and average implant volume.  When considering the 300 as one cohort, the average age was 34 years with a height of 163 cm (5’4”), weight of 58.1 (127.8 lb) and parity of 1.7 . The average implant size was 370 ml. (more…) *This blog post was originally p...

When the main determinant for patient satisfaction is the shape and feel of the implant (and in cases where the implant might be especially visible), a silicone gel implant is the better choice. In cases where the primary concerns are safety (real or perceived), minimal access incisions, and ease of monitoring, saline may prove to be a better choice.     Related posts Patient Satisfaction Following...

Ventura and Marcello retrospectively analyzed 100 patients who had received primary breast enlargement with textured implants positioned in the subfascial compartment and found that only two patients (2 percent) experienced Baker grade 2 capsular contractures. Finally, in a retrospective multicenter study of more than 500 patients, Gutowski et al. found that the use of subglandular positioning of the prosthesis increased the risk of capsular contractures by almost eight times. It is a nice review of the literature which points out the short comings of our knowledge. Although it is apparent from the articles studied in this review that a great deal of progress has been made over the past few decades to...

I don’t know if the award was warranted, but I do know that the deformity is a known risk of breast augmentation surgery. I try very hard to tell patients about possible risks of surgery, but none of us go into surgery thinking we will be the half or one or two percent. As the surgeon, I take pride in my work and give the best I can. It is never my intention for a patient to have a poor result. It is not good for them or for me. So let’s talk a minute about double-bubble deformities. What is it? In a double bubble deformity the implants are usually positioned too superiorly under the muscle (first bubble) with an overhang of skin/brea...

The authors then analyzed postoperative results  to determine the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of preoperative MRI in comparison with clinical and/or mammography evaluation alone.

Autoaugmentation of the breast can be achieved following implant removal when mastopexy is planned without insertion of a new implant. This procedure corrects ptosis and increases the projection and apparent volume of the breast. The advantages of the technique are that it both minimizes the skin scar and optimizes the shape following upper-pole fullness and suture fixation of the pillars of t...

Fortunately, it is a rare complication of augmentation mammoplasty surgery.  Developmental symmastia can occur without prior surgery in patients who have breast hypertrophy and an aberrant soft-tissue connection across the midline. Dr Spear (4th reference article below) noted (bold highlight is mine): Based on our experience with postaugmentation synmastia, a number of facts have emerged. All of the implants were subpectoral. The majority of these women had undergone more than one operation. Many of them had undergone successive operations to enlarge the size of their implants and breas...

As this quote from the second article below points out, it is important for the implant to be moved or massaged rather than simply the breast tissue: Implant Movement (as Opposed to Breast Massage) Early implant movement (within 2 days of surgery) is recommended, and aggressive movement ...

The main study author, Roger Khouri, MD, FACS, is featured in a video explaining the study and technique.  He feels that his study of 50 women is enough to settle the question of safety and effectiveness of fat injections for cosmetic breast augmentation.  Even though his results are good, I remain a skeptic.  The study involved 50 women, ages 17-63.  Initially the length of surgery was 5 hours.  This decreased as their learning curve and technique improved to 1.5 hours.  E...

So did the runners up, as did everyone else who entered. Miss Plastic Surgery Hungary 2009 is a pageant meant to help show women what plastic surgery can do for a woman and to promote it in a country where cosmetic surgery isn’t a popular option. There were 18 contestants and they had to prove that they had had cosmetic surgery to be eligible; Botox and other types of injections were not considered. While the type of surgery didn’t matter, the majority of the women did have breast enlargements. Others had nose jobs. One had her toes operated on. The winners and prizes? The women weren’t the only ones to receive prizes – their plastic surgeons did too. Among...

Forget about the falsies. Men don’t like breast implants. Well apparently so according to this article in the Daily Mail. Despite that, last year 26,000 British women went under the knife in the pursuit of bigger breasts. I wonder how many Malaysian women did the same. Former Cosmopolitan editor Marcelle D’argy Smith agrees. ‘Fake breasts have become inescapable, but I think the main reason why women do it is to please men. They’re trying to fulfil a male fantasy. ‘It might make women feel more confident - but it is, ultimately, for men.’ Like me, broadcaster Joan Bakewell finds the synthetic look repellent. ‘Fake breasts simply look false. They lack any kind of beauty, or the softness associated with real breasts. Implants look like two ...

These patients should be assessed for potential breast cancer risk by a physical examination as well as a family history evaluation," said Foad Nahai, MD, President of ASAPS and Associate Editor of ASJ. "It is imperative that these patients understand their potential risk, if any, as well as the implications breast surgery may have on future screening, in order for them to make the best possible decision regarding their own care."
