Fat Injections Not A Proven Technique for Breast Augmentation

2009-06-24T10:37:00.000-07:00

(WebMD) Reshaping the breasts by injecting a woman's own fat works well for "touch-ups" after breast reconstruction, but is not yet proven effective for breast augmentation, according to plastic surgeons slated to present an update at the annual meeting of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) in Chicago.

"For breast reconstruction, there are some good data to support the safety and efficacy of fat injections, but for cosmetic use, it's a whole new ball game," says William P. Adams Jr., MD, a Dallas plastic surgeon and associate clinical professor of plastic surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas. He is among the doctors scheduled to discuss the technique at the Oct. 31-Nov. 5 meeting.

But no studies as yet prove the effectiveness and safety of fat injections for breast augmentation, Adams says.

However, such studies may soon be under way. Two clinical trials are now seeking women to help study fat injections (also called fat grafts) for breast enlargement.

And some experts seem to be warming to the idea of fat-enhanced breasts. At the meeting, a task force assigned by the ASPS to study fat injections plans to issue its conclusions. Although the task force stops short of making recommendations about fat injections, it suggests they "may be considered" for reconstruction and augmentation, says Karol A. Gutowski, MD, head of the division of plastic surgery at North Shore University Health System in Chicago and the task force chair.

In 2007, The American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons issued a joint statement of caution about fat injections for the breast, noting that they can be effective in enhancing breast appearance after reconstruction or to soften the appearance of implants in place, but not recommending fat injections for augmentation, citing a lack of data and the fear of hindering breast cancer detection.

Breast Augmentation Step 4: Recovery

2009-06-22T08:00:00.000-07:00

Recovery from Breast Augmentation Breast Implant surgery is a very individualized process, but there are some common effects one can expect.

Bruising and swelling are, of course, normal. Recovery time is different for everyone, but a minimum of 5-7 days of resting with very little physical activity is recommended. In addition, observance of 10 -14 days without strenuous physical exercise is essential, in order for the incisions to heal and swelling to reduce. Increasing your fluid intake and mild exercise such as easy walking is recommended. Finally, it is important that no heavy lifting and no lifting above the head be performed from 4-6 weeks after surgery.

Breast Augmentation Step Three: Surgery

2009-06-19T08:00:00.000-07:00

One of the most important decisions to be made between you and your doctor is perhaps the location of the incision. No matter where the implant is located, it will be in a hidden area to minimize visible scarring and will mostly be determined by the type and size of the desired implant and your anatomical structure.

The implant is inserted through the incision and placed either:

Under the breast muscle (sub muscular), or
Behind the fatty tissue of the breast, over the breast muscle (sub glandular)

Silicone implants are inserted fully inflated, which oftentimes necessitates a larger incision, whereas the saline implant is inserted in a deflated state and then inflated after it has been placed in the breast pocket. Once the implant has been inserted and placed correctly, the incision is closed with layered sutures and surgical tape. You can expect the scars to completely heal and begin to disappear after six to eight months.

Breast Augmentation Step Two: Which Breast Implant is Right for Me?

2009-06-18T08:00:00.000-07:00

There is no perfect way to determine on your own whether Saline or Silicone, Round or Anatomic, or Smooth or Textured implants are best for you, nor can you determine on your own the best incision for your particular case. These decisions can only be made between you and your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. That's why it's important to schedule your confidential, personalized consultation with your breast implants surgeon.

To find a surgeon, either visit our Plastic Surgeon Locator or Ask a Breast Augmentation Expert your questions and a surgeon will contact you directly.

Plastic Surgery - A Reason to Quit Smoking

2009-06-16T10:13:00.000-07:00

If you are considering Breast Augmentation or another Plastic Surgery Procedure and you smoke, a recent study gives you additional incentive to kick the nicotine habit.

For reasons including nicotine's effect on blood flow, many surgeons won't operate on smokers. CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta discusses this in a video on CNN's website -- click here to see the video -- and describes a situation where a woman used her upcoming surgery as incentive to stop smoking for good.

Plastic Surgery - Transforming From the Outside-In

2009-06-12T08:00:00.000-07:00

It used to be that any celebrity who got a breast augmentation or any other plastic surgery work done was scrutinized for their decision.

With all the reality shows about beauty makeovers and the compelling stories they tell of how plastic surgery can transform not only the exterior, but their interior of a person as well, it's no wonder people are more open to the idea of plastic surgery. It's amazing to see the kind of impact a change on the outside of a person can have to their inside; their confidence and overall psychological well being - or simply, just being a happier person.

Take this article for example:

Kelly Rowland - Breast Augmentation

Kelly Rowland, didn't get a breast augmentation that was overboard or obvious, she just wanted something to balance out her physique - and not some expectation of what the public deems as a staple beauty. She did it for herself.

What do you think? Post your thoughts in the forums or if you're looking to pique your curiosity, visit Breast Implants USA today and you just might find the perfect doctor to provide that little enhancement you've been looking for.

Where are Breast Implants Surgeries Most Popular?

2009-06-11T08:00:00.000-07:00

While breast augmentation, liposuction and rhinoplasty top the list of the country's most popular cosmetic surgical procedures, statistics show that the popularity of these procedures as well as other procedures vary from region to region.

Experts actually suggest that it's the weather that influences why individuals choose a particular procedure based on their geographical location. For example, in states such as California and Arizona, where it is warm and sunny year-round, people tend to wear less clothing and are thus more body-conscious. This would explain why the Mountain Pacific states lead the country in a number of body-oriented surgical procedures like breast augmentation, abdominoplasty and liposuction. In states with more variable climates, like New Jersey and Pennsylvania, people may be more face-conscious and opt for facial plastic surgery.

Breast Implants USA FAQ of the Week - How Long Does Breast Implants Surgery Take?

2009-06-09T08:00:00.000-07:00

Breast Augmentation surgery typically takes anywhere from one to three hours. The length of time depends on the type of incision being made, the type of anesthesia used and the circumstances specific to each patient and the treatment plan.

Every patient is different and length of surgery isn't necessarily indicative of quality, just as a high-cost breast augmentation surgeon is not necessarily indicative of quality.
