#10 What to Know About Breast Augmentation!

[@cynthiawells1114]

Wow, you really care about people and the service you provide. It is very helpful that you explain things for the lay person to understand. Thank you !

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

you are welcome.

[@traceymcroberts3413]

I am having a breast augmentation next week and have a further consultation Monday. I have watched this episode and it has been invaluable, I now have soooo many more questions for my surgeon 😷 and I will be going on to watch your video on sizing of implants. Thank you.

[@Rebecca-pr3fn]

Honestly speaking I have never seen anyone do such an incredible job as you do when it comes to breast augmentation. Greetings from Canada.

This channel is so informative, I am thinking of having breast surgery, after weightloss , having children and now I'm in menopause, I'm thinking am I too old.

[@greenscarab2]

I also thought capsular contracture was the body's own defence against foreign object such as breast implants. Also the way they used to break it up was to message the breast hard as to break down the contracture and the silicone as that would get hard too. Now I am hearing it's contamination too. Great, still learning!

This Dr. actually cares about people. I love him..I've had a reduction and have not had nipple sensation since 98

[@SPARKWISDOM]

I love all of his videos and used his most recent breast augmentation post op video and felt amazing after only a week. I had my first breast augmentation after birthing 3 children in 2008 with saline implants and the second 2014 because one of them deflated. I had my third, most recently, in 2022 with a breast lift and silicone implants which I absolutely love. When you’re a thin woman and breast-feed, your skin stretches out. I stretched out so much and without any fat, I just had sagging skin for boobies. Silicone, are by far, much more realistic feeling and they feel much better on my body too. Thank you so much for the informative content. It is much appreciated!

[@lavenderandchaos]

Where did you go?? My breasts used to be amazing, peopled used to ask me if they were real or fake all the time, but then I had 2 children and breastfed so they are stretched out and saggy :(

[@camille7760]

Did you lose sensation in your nipples after multiple surgeries?

[@MariGLlanos]

Thank you for sharing I was in between saline and silicone! Now I am convinced silicone is a better option for me.

[@tiffanyyonce2033]

This is a very informative video. I have been considering breast enlargement for 4 years now. I have a consultation next week and this video helped me determine what questions I need to ask my surgeon and what goal I am looking for. Thank you!

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

greast. Congratulations on your decision. Make sure to ask every question you have about breast augmentation process.

[@barefootbarbie]

Good to see the explant shift or choosing against implants. There is a lifetime of future surgeries ahead with breast implants that isn't discussed... aged implant exchanges, capsular contractures, weighted implant breast lifts, plus numbness, etc ... not to mention the serious BII health issues!!

I am just so impressed with your approach and all the extra things you do to make this operation comfortable. I have only had a consult and my pre-op surgery is in two weeks! Is it appropriate to ask to have local anesthetic injected as well as the antibiotic solution? Thank you so much!!!

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

yes, you should discuss all your concerns prior to surgery. That is one of the main reasons why preoperative examinations exist.

Best video on breast augmentation!! I wish you were in NH!!!

[@greenscarab2]

I am watching videos on implant because one day I would like to go tear drop. I have saline implant under the muscle. They look and feel natural. There are different bags some better than others. But I don't know about gummy bears. When I had mine done it was liquid silicone and once it ruptured it would go all over and very hard to contain. My first left implant ruptured and because it was saline it folded over itself and my body absorbed it. I got my second one and went much larger which fit my body better. Again saline. My nipples have feeling and your right about the top pockets as it make for a natural look. The saline implant you are showing has air in it which make it look completely unappealing where that should have been given a fair chance as well. I am still watching though.

[@samanthaheld6114]

Hi! I am having breast augmentation surgery in December and I am incredibly excited. I am going for areola incision with a 400 cc silicone implant under the muscle. This is the most informative video I have watched. Thank you for that. I have realized that maybe I didn't ask all the questions I should have. Like, does he do a multi layer closure and does he use a funnel with all the sanitary steps to avoid capsular contracture. My question to you is, Is it ok to ask these questions or would you as a Dr. take that offensively? I don't want him to feel like I don't trust him. I would just like to be fully informed. Thank you again for all of the educational videos.

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

I do have a question, with submuscular placement, does a weightlifter have to be careful not to build up the chest muscles after implants? (Being fully recovered, of course.) I wonder if the pecs would strain against the implant with muscle growth/tension and cause the shape of the breast to deform?

Now if you used saline tear drop and filled it more would that be a better option for tear drop. I am 300 cc but as you know the bag sits under the muscle in its housing so some is hidden and doesn't look as big.

Ladies and Gents everything is an art just like sewing anyone can learn to sew but not all are great at it, thats why well made clothes are done by those that are true artists. This goes for plastic surgeons its an art, some just learn the procedure and just follow the book the real artist will follow the book with their own flare of artistry, so get informed write down your decision and if thrown into a decision question at last minute have a second one written also but stick to your decision because doubt is a horrible thing to live with. Look at before and afters but be realistic your body is not exactly as the one on picture. If you scar badly then decide if you can live with a scar under or going up your breast. I for one had 2 reductions and was shocked to uncover wrapping and see my nipples were made smaller , i hate it , i loved my wide aureola. 2 nd surgery left my right breast pointing up so it peeps out of my bra! but they look ok! Now at 62 noticed the top of my breast have flattened not extreme but i did not like it, so am here to learn on putting back some fullness , i did not loose nipple sensation with either surgeries i just worry about my fibromyalgia issue i had it back then in 1986/1993 had no adverse reaction. No danger of being pregnancy here lol. I would really prefer the fat transfer, because its me and the mindset is incredibly important! I did not have pain after both surgeries they not need meds for pain. Thank you 🙏 for the explanation doctor and for comments best wishes to everyone. oh i had a hired a helper back then to make sure my children had someone to lift them or make meals it's important not to lift arms. 🙏❤️☮️🙏❤️😍

[@projectxs107]

I've seen quite a few vlogs of women who had a doctor encourage them to go bigger (I think 2 of the women had the same doctor, if not all of them), one of them was put on the spot, no chance to try sizes, she was literally minutes from going into the operating room & the doctor said "you should go bigger, you'd look great w/ this many CCs, you wont regret it but you have to decide now" & she proceeded to freak out & second guess her initial decision. I think that's effed up. He dropped this suggestion on her right before she was put under & everything she'd decided for herself was thrown out the window. She had to put her trust into that doctor, which yeah is expected when choosing a doctor, but why did he wait to tell her she'd look good in a bigger breast size, until the very last minute? Why put her in such a horrible position right before a life changing surgery? So unprofessional I think. This guy is pretty well known too, apparently. At least on YT.

[@deeferan7467]

I would give the surgeon limit number example from 475CC to 425CC. I meet some women that revision down size.

Wish my doctor told me that. After they settled they look much smaller. I’m going bigger.

[@tonishasmith7296]

They probably didn’t have the size she requested in stock and didn’t want to tell her.. probably only checked the implants right before the op.. I’m a surgical assistant that’s what it seems like but that’s my opinion

[@suhayroman8617]

Well the problem is not all doctors share the ugly results ,

[@greenscarab2]

So if I wanted new breast I could go though the same opening? As I have no Capsuler contracture and bottoming out because I have mussels that were cut for housing. I have seen going though the nipples and I heard that you lose sensitivity and it never lines up and the whole idea is to look good naked. Dr dolskey in Bala Cynwyd PA did my second surgery. I only lost faith when I took my friend there and he suggested silicone as I mentioned at that time it was more liquid and not gummy. He was not a fan of silicone but that changed. He did a fantastic job. I would get surprised looks when they would find out it was inhansed. I guess since they are round I would get them tear drop. And it's been with me for 15 years + knock wood.

[@brittneyburkett2003]

I think this is very informative.. however, moderate profile does not look good on everyone. I’m confused by the one profile fits all approach. What about those that desire a certain cc but can only attain that higher cc with a more narrow implant.

[@kaylag9474]

I'm getting ready to have my breast augmentation in September and I do think I picked a great surgeon. I really want to achieve a very natural look and I figured I would want a moderate profile so I could have that. I really like the upside down heart shape and I really don't like when they look like 2 round balls sitting on your chest. However, I have literally no breast tissue on the top so my surgeon said I had to do high profile otherwise they would just look long, or something like that. And then he said he would have me not wear a bra so that I could still achieve the look I want. Does this sound right? Like I said I know I picked a good surgeon and I do value his opinion, but I guess I'm just trying to double check that this can still allow me to achieve a natural look. Thanks so much for any input!

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

I almost always place implants submuscular. It lowers the rate of capsular contracture significantly. In addition, it looks much more natural because the muscle provides covering over the implant so its not as round on the top. I've also noticed the implants drop less over time when they are protected under the muscle.

Nipple piercings, can I get bio flex and still get surgery without taking them out if I want the mammory incision?

[@Trisherboops]

I loved this thank u so much I learned a lot but I have to disagree about capsular contracture is due to contamination I got capsular contracture and I have autoimmune issues so I just think I got it because my body formed a capsule to reject a foreign object entering the body. I also developed keloid scar from c section so I’m not a good candidate for surgery but I’d love to get some gummy bear implants

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

Breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements. Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match. Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small. You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

If you are a plus sized woman, is there certain pre-surgical requirements that the patient has to meet in order to receive the surgery since it would be and elective surgery?

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

you should lower your BMI under 30 in order to reduce the risk of surgery.

Great presentation @Dr. Barrett. I do have a concern though, about giving Ibyprofen after sx. What about the risks of bleeding post op?

[@Vanpotheosis]

Ibuprofen isn't a blood thinner. You're thinking of aspirin.

[@tchatchoh]

@@Vanpotheosis I know that. However, Ibuprofen can makes you bleed. Thus. It is the reason it is require to stop it 2 weeks prior to any sx procedure.

I had a breast lift 3 months ago. The doctor chose 325cc moderate implants. My results are a lot lower than expected- the bottom of my breast is at my elbow and I require a push up to get the look I want. In addition my bra size is now 32H. I really want to be able to wear tops without a bra. What type of revision should I invest in? Complete breast lift revision? Implant exchange? Fat transfer to the top of breast?

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Hello. Very interesting podcast on KZbin I just lucked into… thank you. Do you offer any podcasts that address 15+ year old saline implants, and what to expect with either re-doing them, doing a lift, or, most especially, total removal? What is to be expected of the breast tissue after total removal of under the muscle implants? Can the breasts ever go back to looking the way they were prior primary surgery? What age women are deemed too old and too high risk for surgery? 👵🏻 Thank you for your knowlege.

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You breasts will probably not look like they did prior to surgery 15 years ago. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Are saline implants the better option if going above 800cc.? My wife is looking to have her saline implants redone/upgraded as they have been in 14 years. Looking to go abit bigger 1000 to 1200cc preferably through the nipple again as to not add scaring. Can the capsule be removed through the nipple along with the old implant . Or would silicone be the better option and to go in from under boob through the fold.
