Here’s one of my favorite photos taken at a recent Fashion show. There is little more intoxicating than seeing her light up a room with her confidence.
Next year at the October Northpark breast cancer walk she and I are going to make something BIG … keep your eyes posted!

This is my patient modeling at a fashion show at Sax Willowbend. She’s a survivor and she spreads hope to others, she’s writing a book. Words can’t describe how proud I am of all of them. They’ve rebounded stronger than ever as moms, wives, daughters, best friends .. and now as supermodels! They were radiant.
Clearly, I have the greatest job in the world.

Dallas Plastic Surgery – Q & A

I’m very tall and weigh about 175 pounds – my surgeon recommended D size, high profile Breast Implants – are these too big for me?

It’s all a matter of your dimensions. You’re very tall and can carry larger implants but the profile is not what is going to make them look natural, it’s the size. This implant will take you into the D cup range and although you may be looking for that, it probably will not look as natural on your body as you’d like in the long run.

It’s easier to comment on than it is to see you in person and measure your dimensions, so hopefully you’ve been to a board certified plastic surgeon by the ABPS. He should be very familiar with this so be sure and clarify your priorities for the outcome of this surgery. It’s coming down to a choice between natural results or very large breasts.

“Can breast implants rupture?

meade — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 05:33:24 +0000

In Dallas, anything can happen after a breast augmentation. All breast implants are covered by warranty from the company for factory flaws if one were to be detected.
There are two major U.S. companies (Allergan also known as Inamed and fomerly known as McGhan and the second company is Mentor). They both guarantee their product against rupture.
Let me start this entry by stating that these implants are NOT easy to rupture. In fact, you couldn’t rupture one with your hands if you tried (unless you punctured it with something sharp). Moral of the story .. don’t puncture your breast implants.
Many answer this title question with a fairly generic answer: “Yes they can rupture – it doesn’t matter which breast implant company you use (Mentor or Inamed). ”
I kind of like to see numbers and facts to base my decisions on. I’m not sure these are facts because the implant companies are reporting these studies and they have a lot to gain from selling a whole bunch of these. What I am sure of is that this is the best information that we’ve got to date. (Sept 25, 2009).
These are the reported incidences of re-operation, rupture and contracture (when the implants look hardened and sometimes hurt because of dense scar formation).
*Note the differences in years of duration of the studies…

For saline implants:
Allergan at 5 years had a 25.9% Re-operation rate, 11.4% contracture and 6.8% rupture rates.
Mentor at 7 years was 25.3% Re-operation, 10.7% contracture and 16.4% rupture rates.

For Silicone implants
Allergan at 6 years had a 28% re-operation rate, 14.7% contracture and 5.5% rutpure rates.
Mentor had at 3 years a 15.4% re-operation rate, 8.1% contracture, and 0.5% rupture

You can make many conclusions from this but I wouldn’t suggest making your decision on this information alone. Keep it in mind, and refer to it if it comforts you. Once you’ve decided which type of implant to use, you can then look it up on my list and see where you land. I still would only use it as an information reference. Chances are, your implants aren’t going to rupture.

Conspicuous Breast Bone Hinder Breast Augmentation surgery?

admin — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 15:00:43 +0000

There’s nothing that can be done about your prominent breast bone, at least nothing reasonable. You need to have a standard breast augmentation done and your breast bone will still be prominent. If your nipples point a little to the sides, they’ll appear to point a little more towards the sides just as a natural effect of the surgery. Remember that the augmentation will enhance every aspect of your breasts (both good and not so good). Ultimately, you’ll still be very excited about your result since the augmentation factor is no longer of concern.

You can’t really place the implants any closer together if they’re being placed under the muscle. You don’t want him to split the muscle along the center just to satisfy you insisting on cleavage. I also don’t think you should get a bigger implant to cause cleavage. Cleavage is usually something you see when someone has a bra on and it’s pressing the breasts together. It’s not really because of a certain style, position or size of an implant — so you should reconsider changing your implant with that intention in mind.

You should revisit with your ABPS board certified plastic surgeon on these issues and clarify your expectations so everybody is thrilled after surgery.
