Yes I’ve been on the estragen patches & spirolacton for about six weeks. Specific_Questions: So far my nipples & areolas has been changing or my nipples have been a larger & harder and becoming tender / painful.
I’m wondering at what or how quickly could I get implants, no more than A’s! or would silicone injections & my left breast area seems more lofty than the right side is that normal that they will development at diffrent levels ?
Thanks Bill or Sarie!
Hi Sarie,
Consultation is $250 and our otherwise all inclusive fee for saline implants is $5,000. That includes general anesthesia, use of the facility, surgery fee, the implants, and any followup care I provide.
Most essential, you do need to be on properly regulated estrogen dosages for a minimum of 2 years to have a successful cosmetic result. A sufficient amount of “home grown” breast tissue is always needed to cover the underlying implant. If not, you will have a double bubble effect and look like the Michelin tire man.Please avoid silicone injections as the results can be disastrous and exceedingly difficult and very costly to correct.
If you have asymmetry of your breast size, please don’t worry about that. It is said your breasts are sisters, not twins. When implants are put in they will be volumetrically adjusted to make you make as symmetricalas possible.We use the Tebbetts’ formula to determine the appropriate size. That is large breast prostheses can only be put in if there is enough home grown breast tissue to cover.
Also please keep in mind, very large breasts, natural or prosthetic, are prone to droop in 6 years or so, and you’ll be back on the table for a lift. These incision lines as contrasted with a small initial incision are not all that pretty. So if you have enough natural breast mass to cover the implant fine, if not you will have a protruding implant peeking around the edges of your natural breast, called “double bubble. “We can consider a high profile implant with greater projection for any given volume with a smaller base.
