1. Q. I had a breast reduction in December 2004 by another surgeon for all the normal reasons, rashes, shoulder dents, sagging, etc.
It has been two years since my reduction, the swelling is gone, the scars are faded and I barely fill a B cup. I find myself not feeling as feminine or as sexy as I used to and miss the way I used to look and the looks I used to get. I am not looking to be abnormally large, but would like to be on the larger side of normal like I was before the pregnancy, a full 36D.
Things I don’t like about the reduction; the overall size is too small and they have a very flat appearance. There are creases and skin bulges along my sides, no real definition of the sides of the breasts and a large dent on the side of my left breast, the nipples point up, and no cleavage. I appreciate I will never have the breasts I did when I was twenty, but do believe augmentation could improve my appearance.
What I would like to get out of an augmentation; larger size, more cleavage, possibly improving my sides, nipples pointing forward, and a more natural youthful appearance. I have pictures of myself I can send.
A. Thank you for contacting my office. I see out of town patients on a regular basis.
Obviously pictures are worth a thousand words and they would help me to evaluate your needs. You can E-mail them to me or send them regular mail. Meeting and examining you would obviously be better. Getting the operative note from the MD that performed your reduction would also be helpful and might help prevent future problems during surgery.
As a general statement though there is certainly no reason why you can't have a breast augmentation and there is probably a very good chance that your breasts will obtain a more youthful shape with surgical modifications to their present appearance that I can do at the time of your augmentation.
Call the office for an appointment and ask to speak with Dee. Many times we arrange the consultations so that I see the patient on one day and arrange surgery for the next or following day, thereby simplifying their travel. Out of town patients need to have their lab work and medical clearance for surgery prior to their consultation/pre operative appointment.
I look forward to meeting and helping you.
