Cutting 100 calories from your diet on a daily basis might be much easier then you thought. From blotting the grease off your favorite piece of pizza to skipping the whip cream on your favorite drink will diminish those extra calories in a jiffy! Before you know it your calories wil Implant RipplingWhen a patient doesn’t have much breast tissue or body fat, they may experience palpability of the breast implants and possibly rippling of the breast implants. Although the breast implants are placed under the muscle (sub-muscular), the outer edge and cleavage areas are not covered by the muscle and these are the most common places where rippling is experienced. Breast Implants Riding HighThis is when breast implants fall toward the axilla (armpits) and therefore the pockets need to be internally sutured to keep the breast implant in the correct position on the chest wall. Breast Implant DeflationDue to a malfunction or defect in an implant, revisionary breast surgery may be necessary. If a saline-filled implant were to rupture or leak, the body would absorb the saline, causing the breast to deflate to the original size (prior to surgery). Patients may see this happen on one side or sometimes both breast implants may be involved. If a patient has silicone gel breast implants, and MRI has to be performed to detect an implant leak. Changing Breast Size After Breast AugmentationSome patients choose to change their breast size after undergoing breast augmentation surgery. The most common “complaint” that patients have after breast augmentation surgery is that they “wish that they had gone bigger”. After a year or so, they may decide to remove their current implants and replace them with larger breast implants. Capsular ContractureAfter breast augmentation with breast implants, excessive scar tissue may form around the breast implant which causes the breast implants to harden (similar to what a contracted muscle feels like). The cause of capsular contracture is not known but it is the most common complication with breast augmentation surgery.
