Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Prosthetic removal: Internal fixation points between muscle and chest wall or not?
Explantation
May 20, 2018
Generally- I do some degree of capsulectomy at the time of implant removal to facilitate healing of the overlying tissue ( muscle or gland or both ) and avoid chronic seroma. In may cases- especially with capsular contracture or rupture- total capsulectomy is necessary.
If submuscular- I generally do little is any reattachment of the muscle back down to the chest. The original muscle attachments are broadly adherent in places and recreating that would requiring…
Had a bilateral oophorectomy, tummy tuck and liposuction of the flanks and inner thighs 5 weeks ago. Is
Rule out other problems
May 16, 2018
Swelling in the feet and legs can certainly occur after such an extensive procedure. The most critical thing to rule out is deep venous thrombosis which can occur after abdominoplasty and can be life threatening. I would get evaluation from your surgeon and perhaps get Duplex studies of your deep leg veins if indicated.
Tummy tucks do interrupt the normal lymphatic flow and compression garments sometime control post op swelling- but not in your feet. It may be related to that.
2 years post abdominalplasty. Am I experiencing an allergic reaction to the permanent stitches and if so
possibly sutures
May 14, 2018
I have seen this in a few patients and with certain non absorbable braided sutures. They can get chronically colonized with bacteria and have late infection . I have seen sutures “spit” out through the skin or belly button years later with one particular type of suture. Especially if your original surgery might have had some wound healing problems. Hard to diagnose this for sure. CT scan might not show much. Sometimes limited exploration to determine if this is going on is necessary….
I had a tummy tuck two years ago —the scar is thick, raised and itchy, What can I do?
Options
May 5, 2018
Silicone gel sheeting may help although it is best used early in the post op period. Laser treatments are also an option. If your operating surgeon doesn’t offer help, seek a Board Certified plastic surgeon for help in managing your scars. Improvements are definitely possible
I had tummy tuck 3 years ago. It looked great at first. A few months later from my upper abdomen it star
Progressive tension sutures
May 5, 2018
One of the potential problems of drainless tummy tucks is the progressive tension sutures which fix the elevated abdominal wall back down to the abdominal fascia. If overly aggressive- they can scar down the skin to the midline and create a line . Such tethering may need to be surgically released if it doesn’t relax with massage.
It usually doesn’t become apparent til the swelling goes down which may be months after surgery.
Does removing implants and leaving several months before replacing help reduce chance of repeat capsular
Two options
Nov 15, 2015
Unfortunately, I don’t think there is an absolute right answer. In general, sub muscular positioning affords a better chance of preventing recurrent cap con so option two probably safer and more predictable although it involves two procedures.
I had surgery 10 days ago in LA by a well-respected, expensive BH Doctor and I’m very disappointed. What
Too early
Nov 15, 2015
It is still way too early to judge results of your reduction. It takes many weeks even months for things to settle down. Even if there was a revision anticipated- most surgeons wouldn’t do anything for 6-9 months. The result ” on the table” meaning during surgery almost never resembles the final result.
Will United Healthcare approve my breast reduction? And how small can I go?
Should be approved
Sep 22, 2015
With proper documentation of neck pain and back pain, etc you probably would qualify. Selection of size has to be determined with your plastic surgeon. The smaller you go, the more chance for loss of sensation and potentially sacrifice shape. Going from H to A is pretty radical, possible , yes but might not be advisable.
Will some sort of revision surgery help?
Can be fixed
Sep 22, 2015
Repair of an implant related problem with mastopexy can be a challenge. I suspect removal will leave you more saggy. Hard to tell without a photo but these problems are correctable. Sometimes removing the implant for a while to allow “settling” is advisable and gives you a chance to live with that situation for a while before deciding if you want replacement
After 6 years of breast cancer… 5 lymph nodes removed however they were clear. Now I’m experiencing pa
Depends
Sep 22, 2015
Pain that remote is a concern. If it is in your axilla( armpit) it could mean late recurrence. If related to an implant reconstruction- it may be related to a capsule. Best advice is to see your oncologist who should be able to help find the source
Very non-compliant patient needing clearer guidelines. How much do I really need to listen to restrictio
Listen
Apr 20, 2015
I would listen to your PS recommendations. You are risking disrupting all of the work put into trying to achieve a good result. Especially with a direct to implant procedure which is asking more of your tissues and muscle than an expander result.Did you expect someone to say “Go ahead- ignore your surgeon’s recommendations”?
Will my breast get saggy and wrinkly after implant removal?
Removal
Apr 20, 2015
Impossible to say- but generally the larger the implant size – the more the breast will sag. It seems awfully early to be removing implants( 2 years later)- they look fine in these selfies but only your original surgeon can tell. If you insist on removing them. I would wait before considering additional surgery until whatever caused you to be unhappy with them has resolved and your breasts have had time to heal.
So disappointed with healing process. Is my PS right when he says everything is healing?
Healing problems
Apr 20, 2015
Looks like you have some necrosis on the right. Not uncommon with a diabetic. I agree with good wound care. Hopefully things will heal but you might need a revision after full recovery. Your doctor is being very diligent about seeing you every week.
7 weeks post op. Is this normal healing ?
Skin excess
Apr 20, 2015
I think you will probably need some skin removal in the future. Your preop picture revealed a lot of skin excess and I usually offer a mastectomy or breast reduction technique in this instance. However, I would follow closely with your doctor and evaluate further after more time has passed
What’s the earliest I can go back to work, at my desk job, after breast reduction surgery?
Time off
Apr 19, 2015
I am reluctant to recommend anything less than a week off for a breast reduction for patients with desk jobs. Everyone is different and every situation varies but as a general rule- I have found a week to 10 days is desired. Many patients are still taking pain medication for up to week. I think most physicians are not willing to have patients disappointed and unhappy if they say you can go back earlier and then you have to miss work and leave your employer…
