What to do if you think you have a deflated implant.

October 14th, 2010  

Implant deflation can occur immediately or slowly over a period of days and is noticed by a loss of size or different shape of your breast. Silicone implant usually leak slower than saline implants and can sometimes go unnoticed for quite some time. Implants can deflate in the first few months, after several years, or at any time in between. If you think you have a deflation, please:

 

1.         Call 911…..NO PLEASE DON’T. Please RELAX. Call your plastic surgeon and schedule an appointment, ideally within a week of the deflation. If you have Saline Implants, the leaking is salt water, which your body will absorb without any issue. There has been no known health risks associated with saline or silicone breast implants deflation.

 

2.         Get your information ready for your doctor, just in case you go with someone new or it’s been a long time since you’ve had surgery. You should have the following information ready, if feasible:

  • Implant Manufacturer
  • Serial Number or ID card
  • Implant size
  • Date of Surgery

Sculptra…just another filler?

September 24th, 2010  

What is it?

Many of our patients want a younger looking appearance without having to have surgery. Sculptra Aesthetic is an anti-aging option that can give you subtle, noticeable results without giving you away. Different from dermal fillers, Sculptra is made up of microscopic crystals of poly-L-lactic acid. What the heck is that? Simply put, poly-L-lactic acid is a biocompatible (material that does not harm the body), biodegradable (body will break it down) teeny tiny, you need a super microscope to see it, suture like material.

Breaking it down

What you need to know is that Sculptra is NOT a filler. It is a volumizer. Those dissolvable microscopic materials in the product will stimulate your body to create its own natural collagen. So you are building up YOUR OWN collagen again to fill in those depressed area that happens with naturally the aging process.

How long does it last?

Of course, individual results will vary. It can last years, some 2 years others 5 years. Usually after a couple of years you will need a touch up treatment. For the first couple of days, you will be swollen, and then you will look like you didn’t have anything done. Absolutely no change…you still look the same as when you came in the office before your injections. Be patient! That’s the difference with Sculptra. Remember your are forming your own collagen again, that doesn’t happen over night. Lasting results appear over a 3-4 month period.

The “The Bra Whisperer” Susan Nethero, is also the founder of Intimacy, a lingerie store that just opened at South Coast Plaza last week. She can pretty much tell you  your real bra size by just looking at you, no tape measure needed! Check out the article here and view the video. Happy Bra Shopping!
