Implant-Free Breast Enlargement
August 13th, 2014
Nipntuck Naturalâ„¢ is a revolutionary new way of thinking about plastic surgery. I am pleased to offer patients the option to choose new no implant breast enlargement surgery, as debuted on the KQRS Morning Show broadcast in Las Vegas, last year. As Brad Blanks mentioned on stage, “Booty to Boob” is real and fat from one area can be used to sculpt fuller breasts without using implants. This implant-free technique is exciting news.
Regenerative medicine features this specialized fat grafting procedure. Typical donor sites for fat cells include areas of the abdomen or flanks. Fat grafts naturally contain a population of adipose specialized cells. The regenerative properties of these cells are particularly effective for the new procedures, because the fat cells become a natural living part of the tissues wherever it is placed.
This revolutionary technique is not limited to cosmetic breast surgery. These special properties are beneficial for many types of anti-aging procedures, such as facial rejuvenation. Fat grafting is an outpatient, clinic-based procedure and the quick recovery is changing many aspects of cosmetic plastic surgery today. I find that my patients appreciate having another option when it comes to breast enlargement. Nipntuck Naturalâ„¢ is effective in using this new natural technique to offer fuller breasts, without the worry of having implants.
Breast Lift: Pencil Test
June 24th, 2014
The “pencil test” is a simple and an effective way to tell if breast lift surgery might be helpful to correct sagging breasts. The pencil test helps to identify true sagging. You do the “pencil test” by placing a pencil beneath your breast where it attaches to your chest and if your nipple hangs below the pencil when you sit or stand, then you might consider a breast lift.
True sagging of a woman’s nipples can occur following pregnancy or as a result of any dramatic weight gain/loss. There may be slight evidence of this condition even before weight gain. True sagging refers to nipple position below the crease beneath your breast. I do not recommend breast lift surgery if nipples are above the crease or at the level of the crease. Breast enlargement is usually sufficient to correct the saggy breast shape in most cases. Breast lift surgery repositions the nipple and areola (pigmented skin around the nipple) upwards toward your shoulders. The natural position is about one half to three-quarters of an inch above the crease. Positioning them any higher than this can result in an odd breast appearance. The size of the areola can also be reduced if desired.
Breast enlargement or breast reduction may be considered at the same time as breast lift surgery. Changing the breast size may be accomplished at the same time and through the same incisions made for the breast lift and is often part of the Mommy Makeover. As with all breast surgery, size is a personal choice. Many woman are able to breast feed following breast lift surgery. Patients report a high degree of satisfaction after having a breast lift.
