Mommy Make-over: Breast Restoration
May 14th, 2012
Example of a typical Saline Implant (not Sue’s surgery). 307,000 women chose breast augmentation last year.
Sue writes about her experience:
My breasts went down a cup size after I breast fed my children. I wanted to have them fixed for years, but put it off. I finally decided to go in and have them enlarged to fix them. It has now been four weeks since I had them done. I must be honest, it did take a little bit of time for me to get used to them. But I love them now and am sorry that I waited so long to have them done.
I encourage anyone that is thinking about having them done to go in for a consultation with Dr Bashioum and his staff. They answered all of my questions that I had and I never felt pressured. I will definitely pick Dr Bashioum again if I have any more work done.
What’s a Breast Lift?
February 28th, 2012
Sagging of a woman’s breasts can occur due to any significant weight change, such as after a pregnancy. True sagging refers to nipple position falling below the crease beneath your breast. The “pencil test” is the way to find out if surgery might be indicated. By placing a pencil beneath your breast and if your nipple hangs below the pencil when you sit or stand, then you may need a breast lift. Breast lift surgery repositions the nipple and areola (pigmented skin around the nipple) upwards to a more natural position. This natural position is about one half to three quarters of an inch above the crease. Positioning them higher than this can result in an odd breast appearance. The size of the areola can also be reduced if desired.
Scars from a breast lift are the same as breast reduction surgery and are positioned around the nipple and beneath the breast as well. They are usually easily covered by most swim suits. Many women can still breastfeed following breast lift surgery, if they choose to do so.
Most of my patients return to work 2 days after surgery.
