Breast Implants Broken 3 times
Breast Implant RevisionI had my first breast augmentation in 2005 at 18 years old with Eurosilicone breast implants 175 cc, left implant broke in 2013. I had a revision the same year and placed Allergan Natrelle 450 cc. Left implant broke again in 2016, revision done with Allergan Natrelle 615 cc. Now, for the third time, left implant is broken. Always placed under muscle, never had injuries. Why is this happening?
Congenital Symmastia / breast reduction
Breast ReductionI need a board certified plastic surgeon who is qualified/ has experience Performing Congenital Symmastia / reduction
A arising issue
Breast AugmentationI had a breast augmentation done 4 years ago. (under the muscle gummy implant). Been noticing some pain in the right breast on and off. Also some unfamiliar movement of the implant I haven’t experienced before. Over the weekend I noticed tightness and pain again. When I rotate my arm I can feel it moving (and can hear it), I feel it moving exercising, doesn’t appear abnormal. Is this normal?

safe for me?
Tummy Tuck~11 years ago, the most extraordinary pregnancy (bedrest for 8 months-measuring full-term for 4 months & petite & inexplicable stretched out) I developed a diastasis & after exercises still am forever limited.The catch- I also have Leiden factor 5 & am at higher risk for clots. Do I have options? Is it worth the risk? Am I even a candidate for the tummy tuck? What can be done to reduce risks?

Wednesday, April 14, 2021Watch Drs. Karen Horton and Jamie Moenster debunk the myths. Plastic surgery isn't always scarless (but we know where to hide and treat them). It isn't vain (taking care of yourself never is). It isn't fake (you'll look like yourself, just refreshed).
