All Questions

I'm 25 years old, my height is 5′ 15/32″ (1.66 cm) and my weight is 120 pounds. I was a 34B (I didn't fill it at all), and I had a breast augmentation on June 6, 2017. My doctor recommended Allegran 300 cc silicone, under the muscle. My waist is 25 in and my hips are 37 in. After the surgery, my bust is 91 cm (36 in). I'm a little unhappy--I know I'm bigger than before but i think i would like to be a bit bigger. Do you think if I had decided 380 cc I would notice a real difference?

I had some blood and the next day the doctor removed my stitch at the end of my incision. I instantly started pouring blood. He told me to be ready for surgery on Monday if he needs to re-operate. Today I changed my padding, as it was soaked in blood from getting my stitches out and there was still smaller amounts of red fresh blood. I changed them and wrapped myself up again. The incision is somewhat painful where it was bleeding. No extra bruising and I'm not swollen. What could this be?

I had my first breast augmentation today. I'm 5'11" and 150 lbs. Before surgery, I THINK I was a small B cup. I've had 2 children and breastfed combined for a total of 14 months. My PS is phenomenal and absolutely wonderful. We decided under the muscle was best, and I wanted to go as big as possible. He was able to place two silicone 700cc implants. The bra I was sent home in is a 38C Victoria's Secret bra. I was hoping to be larger. Will the sizing change at all once they settle?

I had a breast augmentation four years ago (under the muscle with gummy bear silicone implants). I discovered I had a seroma which was aspirated and tested for ALCL. The tests came back negative, but now the seroma has reappeared. My doctor suggested compression can completely rid me of this seroma and keep it from returning. Thoughts?

I am a little over a year in post op. I have 800cc implants and I am a side sleeper. It has always been slightly uncomfortable to sleep on my side but it's more tolerable then sleeping on my back. I woke up this morning with major sternum pains. It feels as if my chest plate is going to cave in and it hurts with slight movements. It's mainly in the middle and slightly into the left breast. I mainly sleep on the left side.

I have a small amount of pain, especially when I walk or move. In time will the implant fix itself naturally? I feel like the implant moved or is taking more space. I did my surgery under the muscle and I am a small girl.

I honestly don't know which I prefer, all I know is that I want maximum side-boob and beautiful results. I don't want them to be too hard.

I had an augmentation and lift 12 days ago and for six days now, I feel like I have tons of sinus pressure and my ears pop all day long. I even get a foggy, spaced out feeling at times. I went to the doctor and they said I don't have a sinus infection. Could this be a side effect from surgery or the general anesthesia?

I will be undergoing an explant/implant surgery with an anchor lift. I currently have 360cc implants filled to 390 cubic centimeters. I will be replacing with gummys. I wish to go smaller. My doctor requested 200cc to 425cc high profile sizers. Is there a big difference between those numbers? I did tell him I want smaller, but to me 200cc seems to be too small. I am 5 '4", 123 lbs. I'm currently a 36 DD or 34 DDD.

I have two kids--my son is 4 years old and autistic, and my daughter is 17 months old. I've terrible saggy breasts and I feel sick that I can't wear anything. Can I have a breast lift? I am planning for two more kids in the future in another three years probably, but I can't wait. I am totally sick of those saggy breasts! Please guide me. I can't wait!!!

I am currently a big B cup/small C. I am 5'7 and 115 pounds. I've been recommended 425 cc round HP as my max. I really like the look of the sizers, however I'm really scared they will look way too big. I am going under the muscle so I know I will loss a little bit of size from that. My PS said I can get away with that size implant due to my height and the fact that I have a decent bottom. It does look much more in proportion however I'm just scared. What is your advice?

I talked to my doctor a couple of weeks back. He suggested that I wrap them and not to sleep in the sports bra as much. They have yet to drop. I'm just worried something else might be wrong.

I am scheduled to have my breast augmentation in three days. Yesterday I woke up with what I'm assuming is a cyst at the edge of my areola. It is tender and squishy. I know I am right at the ovulation point in my cycle. My other breast is on the tender side as well. I turn 40 next week, so I am at the perimenopause stage. My GYN has told me I have fibrocystic breasts, and I have had a cyst on occasion which tends to resolve itself as my cycle moves on. Will this impact my surgery? Thanks.

I had a deflation done about three weeks ago, and my skin shrunk so well that I had a choice between a 590 ultra high profile implant and the 650. I'm just wondering, is there a big difference between the two? I just don't want to be too big again. Not too familiar with the ultras.

To prevent sagging again and to bring the breasts together, should I wear a high impact compression sports bra? Should it be loose or snug? Is tighter better?

They are so hard and swollen, and they look like two watermelons. Will it get better? I'm start to panic.

I have Mentor silicone gel implants and am considering a revision. I have 2 questions: (1) How are the MemoryGel implants different from the Mentor implants that I have now? (2) If I want to replace with the previous style to keep them the same as what I currently have, will they last as long - that is, if they have been on the shelf for a couple of years, does their 10-year expiration based on the date of manufacture or the date of implantation?

I will be getting a capsulorraphy for bottoming out and to correct one breast that is slightly lower than the other. I will also exchange implants from 325 to 250 cc. If I go the route of permanent sutures (instead of galaflex), what are the long term side effects of permanent sutures? Are there any potential issues from having the perm sutures in your body long-term? Is there a better type of suture to use, and/or method to use, to avoid long-term issues with having permanent sutures? Thanks!

I want my large implants removed. I was told I would need a lift afterwards. Then I was told by another surgeon that I have no sagging and my nipples are placed perfect from a prior lift I had years ago and an exchange for smaller implants would be best. I am confused about what I should do.

I had breast reconstruction in October—300cc Mentor smooth round high profile. One card has a blue-green logo and says MemoryGel Breast Implant Smooth Round High Profile, and the other card has a yellow logo and just says Smooth Round High Profile Gel on the sticker. The reference number on both cards is 350-3004. Is there a difference in the implants?
