Do you offer the breast filler injection procedure?

Hi, this is a very interesting question. I assume from the question that you’re researching ways to have larger breasts. And what you’re looking into is the breast filler injection procedures, and that sounds to me like injecting fat into the breasts. I have permission to give you some specific medical guidance here.

The guidance is that unproven procedures may have much greater risks than is apparent.

For example, I recall about 25 years ago I took care of a young lady who 15 years before that had gone to the Philippines. She had liquid wax injected into her breasts. At the time, it was considered a good idea. After that she developed rock hard breasts and eventually had both breasts removed because of the discomfort and hardness of the breasts.

The good news is that unlike the unproven procedures there are several very good methods that have stood the test of time. I would love to talk with you more about this. When you want my professional opinion go ahead and pick up the phone, call 253-582-8486. When the consultant answers just tell her your situation, answer the general questions that she’ll ask, as well as the specific medical questions; go ahead schedule a date for a consultation, co. I’m looking forward to talking with you more in the future and thank you for the very interesting question.

I am interested in gummy breast-type implants. Do you provide this option?

I just got off the phone with Shelley, who is the implant representative for Mentor in the state of Washington. I also talked to one of my good friends who was one of the key researchers in the study of gummy bears. What I found out is that gummy bears are a shaped implant and the outside is a textured. The advantages are that they are a firmer silicone and they tend to maintain their shape. And their main use appears to be in reconstruction of people after breast cancer surgery. They will have some place in cosmetic situations. They do require a bigger incision to get them in place. They tend to be more firm and if they rupture they can look funny in the body. They are not yet approved by the FDA. No one knows when the FDA will approve them.

Mentor has an implant that we use called the memory gel. It’s a silicon implant, much like a gummy bear is, and it tends to hold its’ shape. It has the advantage that you can get it in various shapes and they come in round implants—which in my experience tend to look more natural.

So, when you’re interested in getting my professional opinion please give us a call. Pick up the phone dial 253-582-8486. When the consultant answers go ahead and tell her your situation. She’ll ask you some specific questions that are general, as well as medical questions; go ahead and answer them. She’ll offer you several dates to come in. Choose a date and then come in. Looking forward to seeing you in the future and thank you for the interesting question.

I would like to have my breast implants removed. I am currently living in Los Angeles, California. How much would it cost to remove my implants?

Hi, I understand that you’re considering breast implant removal. I also understand that you’re aware that we are not located in LA and we are located in Lakewood, Washington.

You want to find out what the average cost for breast implant removal is. Before I answer your question if you would tell me some more information. For example, what is the reason you’re considering having the removal done and what is it you want to achieve. Also tell me as much as you can about your current situation such as the type of implants, how long they’ve been in place, are they above or below the muscle, the volume of the implants and anything else that would be helpful.

I’m waiting to hear about your situation and thank you for your question.

I work out at the gym routinely, and am considering a breast enlargement and a tummy tuck. Would I be a good candidate?

I assume from your question that you’re starting the process of getting your body back. The two procedures that you mentioned are often done at the same time. I have many women who have done both together and who have had spectacular results. This combination is becoming more and more common.

The recover time to get back to the gym after a tummy tuck is about six weeks.

It sounds like you are in touch with what you want and are ready for a consultation. So go ahead and pick up the phone, dial 253-582-8486, when the consultant answers, tell her about your situation. Also answer her specific general questions and the medical questions. Pick a time to come. You will find the consultation a very enjoyable and exciting experience.

I clearly remember your consultation. You are about 98 pounds and about 5’3”. The cup size was a 32A and you want to look balanced. You definitely do not want to look fake.

You are naturally doing a very good job of choosing a size that fits your body. Based upon your feedback, I like the 325 to 350 range. Good job.

When you come in for your pre-operative visit, you will choose your implant size.. You will have more fun doing that.

Looking forward to seeing you in the future and thank you for your question.
