Breast Augmentation Revision: Before and After Photos

Tag Archives: Plastic Surgeon Atlanta

Breast Augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the world, providing fullness and volume to breasts. There are many reasons women seek Breast Augmentation surgery, but whatever the reason for breast augmentation each patient deserves the best possible results from their plastic surgeon. In the few cases where patients wish to change their implant size, are not pleased with their results, or do not get the results they expected, Breast Augmentation Revision surgery may be able to correct the issues the patient has.

This patient previously received a Breast Augmentation , but her results as well as the process of aging had left her with breasts that appeared ptotic (sagging) and uneven in size. She visited Dr McCluskey with hopes of restoring the symmetry and fullness to her breasts, and as you can see below he was able to achieve the look that she desired through a Breast Augmentation Revision surgery!

Breastfeeding and pregnancy can lead to breasts that have a deflated, sagging appearance due to loss in volume, even while the patient is still young. While some patients may require a breast lift to fully restore a youthful shape to the breasts, often times breast augmentation can create enough volume in the breasts that a lift is not necessary.

As can be seen from the below before and after photo, this patient received a fuller, more youthful looking result from her breast augmentation.

Going through with any cosmetic surgical procedure, whether it’s a simple breast augmentation of a complex tummy tuck, is something that every patient should take seriously. During consultations many patients struggle to remember important questions they might have about the procedure, possible outcomes and aftercare. This list of four questions should help cover most of the vital information needed to feel safe and knowledgable about your surgery.

Is your surgeon qualified and experienced in your chosen procedure?

In the same way you wouldn’t expect a certified plastic surgeon to perform neurosurgery, you shouldn’t expect an OBGYN to be able to perform a tummy tuck. Only plastic surgeons are qualified and trained with techniques to give the best results possible in cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries, experienced surgeons will have plenty of before and after photos to showcase their hard work and expertise.

What are common issues patients experience after the procedure?

There are some common problems that cause patients undue stress following procedures, that would not if www.meaganophotography.com they were thoroughly explained before undergoing surgery. Ask your doctor what you should expect to see and feel while recovering from surgery and what to look for that could be a more unusual issue.

What should you expect during recovery?

Every surgical procedure has a very different recovery process and different things to avoid. How long the recovery period lasts also varies between procedures, breast augmentation patients may begin to feel back to their usual selves in a matter of days while the recovery following a tummy tuck is longer. Following breast augmentation patient avoid carrying heavy objects, arm exercises and reaching for high objects, however after a Brazilian Butt Lift patients must avoid applying and sort of pressure to the buttocks. Some of these directions may seem obvious but it is important to be absolutely clear on any instructions before undergoing surgery.

What results can you realistically expect from your surgery?

While any surgeon will do their best to create results that are as close to what the patient desires as possible, there are sometimes physical limitations to how close they can get to achieving this. Either because of the patients safety or simply because there is only so much surgery can achieve. Make sure that before surgery your expectations and desires are in line with your surgeons so that you can have the greatest confidence in the outcome of your procedure.

It is always important to address any concerns with your doctor, take notes or ask a family member to go with you if you feelthat you may forget key point made during your consultation.

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a procedure to reduce puffiness, sagging skin above the eyes, and bags below the eyes. As you can see below the results are a natural-looking, younger, brighter appearance to the eyes. Blepharoplasty easily erases years of aging and give an over all more youthful look to the face.

Blepharoplasty can be performed under local or general anesthesia and can be combined with other procedures if desired. Upper-lid Blepharoplasty is performed by making a subtle incision in the crease of the eyelid to remove excess tissue. Incisions for lower-lid Blepharoplasty are made inside the eyelid leaving no visible scar for the patient. Patients usually experience swelling and bruising during the week following the procedure but will quickly start to see results and their youthful, lifted new look!

I never thought I would hear Bruce Jenner admit to the world that he’s always identified as a woman. I still remember the Bruce Jenner of the late ’70’s and ’80‘s, the personification of masculinity. He was the all-American golden boy and although I was very young at the time, I looked to him as a hero.

There are those who have said that his sudden interest in being female is just another tacky publicity stunt by the Kardashian media empire. But nothing about his interview with Diane Sawyer this week appeared gimmicky or staged. Mr Jenner was honest and clearly he has been struggling with this issue for many, many years. In his interview he discussed cosmetic surgery and going forward with physical changes to achieve a more feminine look. While I was once among those who thought that his facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty were all somewhat drastic and overdone, it is now clear that he was seeking a more feminine appearance.

I’ve been treating transgender patients for many years now. We welcome them into the practice and we offer many feminizing procedures for the face and body. I remember my first consultation with a transgender patient, and I’ll freely admit that it was unfamiliar territory. The patient could tell that I was not accustomed to discussing breast augmentation and facial feminization procedures with transgender patients. The first hurdle for me was accepting that this was indeed a female, “she”, and the second was moving past her obvious male physical characteristics and talking to her in the same way I would an anatomically female patient. But this patient understood and she was open and honest with me. She had been on feminizing hormones since the age of 16 and she had “B” cup breasts and soft features. Ultimately I performed breast augmentation on that patient and she has continued to refer her friends and family to the practice for years.

From those first few patients I’ve established a great following in the transgender community and the patients literally travel from all over the world to our office in Atlanta. Through the transgender community I’ve gained invaluable experience with facial feminization procedures such as facelift, eyelid lift (blepharoplasty), necklift, browlift, and rhinoplasty. But facial feminization also involves softening the face with procedures such as cheek augmentation, chin and jaw reduction, glabellar (brow) reduction, lip augmentation, and buccal fat removal. In recent years we have improved techniques for injecting autologous fat and fillers such as Restylane, Radiesse, and Juvederm to aid with feminization.

Unfortunately many transgender patients are turned away by plastic surgeons and cosmetic surgeons. Many doctors are under the impression that these patients have unrealistic expectations or that they want to transform their male appearance into that of a Barbie doll. I don’t find that to be the case at all. I find that most transgender patients have very reasonable expectations for surgical results. They want what every cosmetic surgery patient wants, to look like a better version of themselves. When transgender patients are rejected by medical practices they often turn to dangerous procedures such as black market injection of industrial grade (non-medical) silicone, PMMA, and other substances. These injections are frequently performed in hotel rooms or in people’s houses or apartments and there is no guarantee as to what type of substance is being injected. The clear liquid in those syringes could be industrial grade silicone or it could be tile caulk or even tire filler. Many of my transgender patients have had these substances illegally injected into their faces, cheeks, lips, breasts, and buttocks with terribly deforming results. I’m often asked to remove these substances or to improve the appearance of the affected areas but unfortunately the treatment options are very limited.

I hope Bruce Jenner’s revelation has a strongly positive effect on the transgender community. I hope that it improves how transgender and transsexual patients are viewed as both people and as patients in medical practices. We cannot prevent people from turning to black market treatments such as silicone injection, but if these patients felt more comfortable walking into a physician’s office and discussing their concerns then they would be much less likely to seek illegal body and facial modifications.

A Facelift can help erase years from the neck and jawline by lifting, tightening and smoothing the skin. Weight fluctuation can cause skin in this area to become sag, but there are very few of us who will escape the tell tale signs of aging that come from the loose and sagging skin of the neck and jowls. You can see Dr McCluskey perform a facelift here! As you can see from the patients results below, the Facelift gives a natural, subtle, younger looking silhouette to the face.

Large, sagging breasts can be the cause of serious back and shoulder pain for many women. Aside from the physical aspects, women can also feel lower self esteem and confidence due to the over-sized or drooping breasts. Breast reduction involves reducing the amount of breast tissue and is usually combined with a lift to reduce any excess skin and sagging that is associated with larger breasts. During the procedure the nipples are relocated to a higher more desirable position and the areolar size is reduced if needed. There are different incisions that may be used during a breast lift procedure that are chosen after consultation with the surgeon. You can see Dr McCluskey explains the differences between these incisions here!

As you can see the results of a breast reduction are a youthful, lifted appearance. The reduction in size and weight provides relief for back pain and also creates a boost in confidence in many of our patients!

Breast augmentation is a great way for patients to enhance the female figure and in many cases improve self esteem. This young transgender patient had undergone silicone injections into her breast tissue in the past. Following consultation with Dr McCluskey, the patient chose to undergo a breast augmentation with 550cc silicone breast implants while having Dr McCluskey simultaneously remove any of the old injected silicone and scar tissue. When silicone is injected it is extremely difficult to remove and only a limited amount can be removed with out causing safety risks for the patient. The patient selected a periareolar incision, meaning the incision line is around the nipple. Please watch and leave any comments or questions you may have!

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta we are lucky to have amazing patients! Here are some kind words from one of them:

“I had two Rhinoplasty’s done in the past by two different doctors In Florida. Both of which were incorrectly done and the results affected me monetarily and emotionally. After 5 years of being miserable and still unhappy, I heard of Paul by one of his previous patients that I met in a local Atlanta bar. I was amazed at the before and after results on my friend. I then decided to take another chance at it, so in May of 2013 I put my trust in this Doctor and had my 3rd Rhinoplasty. Today I am happy with my results. Finally, I am smiling and feel happier than I have been in a very long time. So that’s my story. I wish he would have been my first Doctor that did my procedure. I would have saved so much money. Regardless, When hiring a Plastic Surgeon, Beware.. In my book, Paul Mccluskey and his staff are the BEST!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!! :)”

Exercise of the Week

Here at the Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta we are focused on helping our patients feel beautiful and that starts inside! Patients have a lot questions about targeted weight loss and toning certain areas. Even though “targeted” weight loss is not possible with out surgical steps, toning trouble areas is something everybody can work achieve themselves! So, whether you’re adding a move to regular routine or learning something totally new, join in with us and help to make a healthier, happier you!

This Week’s Move: The Tricep Dip

A common complaint that many patients have is that they are unhappy with the size or appearance of their upper arms. The tricep dip, and other moves that exercise the tricep muscle (as seen in the picture) will specifically tone the backs of the arms increasing strength and creating slimmer, leaner looking upper arms.

This move is incredibly simple and is open to many variations to further test yourself and increase endurance. For example the legs can be bent with feet plants on the ground, straight with heels digging in to the ground, or crossed with one heel digging in to the ground. The key thing to remember with the tricep dip is that it’s just that- a work out for the upper arm, so moving the hips up and down to touch the floor will not exercise the arm. The key is to bend the elbow and then snap back in to a straight arm position, even if this means a small bend in the elbow at first as you improve you will be able to achieve a lower ‘dip’.

To perform a tricep dip follow the steps below and use Dr McCluskey’s pictures as a reference! This move can be performed using a step or low bench or simply on the floor:

1. Lean back and place hands directly under shoulders with fingers facing forward.

2. With legs either straight out to the front, bent, or crossed, lift your butt off the floor and shift your weight back so that more pressure is on your arms than legs.

3. Simply bend the elbows lowering your upper body slowly without letting your bum touch the floor.

4. Then push back to a straight arm position to complete the dip!

Perform this action twenty times for three sets each day for the next week and see if you can notice an improvement. Changing leg position or using a step to allow a bigger dip will increase the challenge! Controlled and stable movements will help to produce the best results, and don’t forget to check in with us and let us know what you think of this exercise!
