Dr Disaia-

Thank you so much for answering all of our questions! It is wonderful to have you here! I am not sure what brand of implants you carry but have you heard anything about when Inamed silicone implants will be available? I am hoping to get gummy bear implants sometime soon for my redo when I go bigger. I know the FDA has approved them but are they available yet?

Thank You!!

Hello Dr. Disaia:

I am 4.5 weeks post op and am experiencing some mild pain in my right breast (at the top). In addition, it feels a bit firmer than my left and the crease seems to be higher. This could be due to the fact that my left crease was lowered during surgery but along with the other symptoms, I am worried about Capsular Contracture. I should also mention that I have Silimed silicone cohesive gel textured overs, 485 cc's. Would you mind taking a look at my picture (link below- taken today 3/22/07) and telling me what you think? I spoke to my plastic surgeon's office this morning and they have assured me that it's not CC. What do you think? Thanks so much!!!!

Heather

Have you ever had a patient that reacted extremely bad after viewing her own body after surgery?

Hi Doctor,
I have what I believe is a pocket problem on one side on the outside. The left is smooth, full and round and the right is dented, straight and deformed with a visible/palpable fold. It's all getting worse and does get sore. Does a PS usually cover costs except anesthesia, etc. for such a redo? If I wanted to get silicone while getting the redo should he just charge me the difference in cost to my salines?
Thanks!

Hey That was Great

armychick

My SIL is getting a full lift and then saline implants. Her surgeon has said this is so he can over fill one to even out the size difference. I am concerned because I dont think she will be happy with the feel of saline. Plus wont there be a difference in the feel of the two breasts because one is overfilled??? Cant a surgeon just remove more tissue on the larger side during the lift? That way she can get the silicone? Appartently there is up to a cup sixe difference in her breasts.

I am 19 days post op (I have 365cc saline over the muscle), and my left breast still lacks a crease. I mean it has NO crease at all. It never has. My right has formed beautifully, but left looks like a cone, and goes lower than the right. I have been clued in taht it could be bottoming out.. is thre anything my PS can do other than another surgery? Also, I noticed today that the whole left seems a lot emptier than right. Could there be a slow leak? It seems to be getting smaller, and emptier. I am totally lost, and my PS doesn't say much at all. HE didn't tell me ANY risks really at all. There isn't much on my paperwork, so I just don't know what to expect.

Please Help...

Is there any exceptions for the "22+" rule with silicone implants? I'd like to get my saline replaced with silicone. I would really hate to wait til I'm 22!

Hello Dr. Disaia:

I'm in need of your opinion, when you have time:

The pocket on my L side is too big (long story), therefore, the implant rests too far laterally causing discomfort and I lack upper pole fullness. My PS is strongly opposed to reducing the pocket with sutures because he's concerned with causing permanent nerve damage/pain. His recommendation is to switch my current smooth silicone implant to a textured silicone implant. He feels that this would reduce the pocket size and reshape the breast. Do you feel that this is a viable option - would it work?

Thank you!

P.S. I'm almost 7 months post-op.

Hello... curious as to your opinion on a mesh sling? what it is used for and if you have used this procedure and do you value it?
