First of all, let me illustrate what happens in terms of lifting the breast with implants alone. This woman has a significant drooping breast, and putting a good size implant in lifted the breast up, and if you look carefully, there are no scars visible. The scar is in the...

Some people still like to use the oval-shaped, or teardrop implant, that has less on top, more on the bottom. I no longer use them because in order to keep them from rotating, they must be textured. And when you texture an implant, it completely—I have found—causes an increase in...

Risks with the breast reduction include loss of skin, loss of sensation, bleeding after the surgery, infection, permanent visible scarring, deformity of the breasts because one is not equal, or lower than the other, one is larger than the other. These, of course, should all be explained to the patient...

Many breast reductions are done using the patient’s insurance. It is an expensive operation because it takes so long. It is a sometimes five hour operation, so you’re in the $10,000 and up range if you had to pay for it yourself, all-inclusive operation with anesthesia, et cetera...

I’m very much against doing trans-umbilical. First, you can’t put a silicone implant through a laparoscope, which is the way this has to be done, so it’s really only done with a saline implant. I’ve never seen anybody do it with silicone gel, which you can’t put through a tube...

A breast augmentation incision under the arm can be very visible. Under the areola it can be very visible. Under the breast fold, it still could be visible, if you lift the breast or if somebody observes it. The best place, in my opinion to hide the scar is in...
