How to Decide if You Should Have Breast Implant Surgery

If you are one of the millions of women who are dissatisfied with the size, shape, position, symmetry and/or the proportion of their breasts, deciding to get breast implants is an important personal decision.  Detroit area board certified plastic surgeon Doctor Ali has helped thousands of women decide if breast implants are right for them, by carefully explain the pros and cons.

In this article we give you some general information to help you make an informed choice.  However, since every women is different, Dr. Ali offers a  breast implant consultation to help you decide if breast implants are a good option for you.

Benefits Associated With Breast Implants

According to recent clinical and psychological studies, the vast majority of women who have undergone breast implant surgery have universally reported very high levels of satisfaction with their body image and the shape, feel, and size of their implants.

In his Detroit plastic surgery practice, Doctor Ali prefers a type of breast implants called MemoryShape™ Breast Implants. This type of implant is not only more natural looking than older breast implants, but also feels more realistic. MemoryShape™ Breast Implants come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and “profiles” so that they can be matched to the patient’s body – giving her the most beautiful ideal proportions.

In a core study conducted by Mentor, the maker of the MemoryShape™ Breast Implants, 97% of the 373 primary breast augmentation patients who answered a patient satisfaction survey indicated they would make the same decision to have the breast implant surgery!

Breast Implant Statistics

Breast augmentation has continued to be the single most popular cosmetic surgeries in the US since 2006. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in 2019, there were 299,715 breast augmentation procedures performed across the United States alone. This makes it even more popular in the US than liposuction!

Plastic surgeons believe that there are several reasons breast augmentation continues to be the#1 cosmetic surgery:

#1. New technologies in breast implants have made them safer than ever

#2. The cost of breast implant surgery has become more affordable in recent years

#3. Celebrities & social media have removed the stigma from breast implant surgery

#4. Women feel more empowered to take control of their bodies

#5. New surgical techniques have reduced risk and downtime of breast implant surgery

#6. New breast implant designs look more natural

#7. New breast implant materials feel more realistic

Age and Breast Implants

The FDA does not recommend breast implants for patients under 18, and board-certified plastic surgeons won’t perform breast augmentations on women under 22 since breast tissue isn’t considered fully developed until that time.

But women in good health of all ages of 22 and beyond can enjoy the benefits of breast implant surgery. In fact, approximately 7,000 women over the age of 55 get breast implants every year.

Whether breast augmentation is right for you depends on your overall general health, underlying medical conditions, lifestyle, emotional state, body type, breast size/ shape before surgery, as well as your appearance goals after surgery.

Choosing the Right Breast Implants: FAQs

/in , , /by

Choosing the Right Breast Implants: FAQs –

In this article Troy, MI area double board certified breast implant surgeon Dr. Ali answers some commonly asked questions about choosing breast implants.

How do I know if I should have my implants placed over or under the muscle?

Generally, you should choose submuscular (under the muscle) breast implant placement if you have saline implants, a smaller amount of natural breast tissue, or a strong family history of breast cancer.

Typically, you should choose subglandular (over the muscle) breast implant placement if you want silicone implants, have a larger amount of natural tissue, or require a breast lift.

How do I know if I need a breast lift?

Dr. Ali will offer you a consultation to determine if you will also need a breast lift at the time of your implants. However, one way to get an idea if you need a breast lift is to stand in front of a mirror and look at your nipples in relation to the natural crease beneath your breasts.

If your nipples sit lower than your breast crease, adding breast implants without a breast lift to remove excess skin will generally make them more saggy – so you will probably need a breast lift.

Should I get round or teardrop-shaped implants?

Dr. Ali will offer you a consultation to help you determine which shape of breast implants are best for you. However, generally, round implants are the most commonly used implants. Round implants are totally symmetric so that their “orientation” (placement location) is always even and symmetric. Round implants are also less expensive than teardrop implants.

Anatomic or teardrop implants, on the other hand, are not symmetrical, with a greater projection at the bottom of the implants than at the top. So in some women, they may have a tendency to rotate causing problems.

Additionally, keep their rounded shape making them look somewhat more natural when you are lying down.

Will I get more cleavage from a breast implants?

Yes, breast implants can give you more cleavage. However, it’s important to that increasing the size of your breasts is not what gives you cleavage. Cleavage is a result of the width of your chest and how close your breasts are together – not how big they are.

If your breasts are set wide on your chest, you will have more fullness after your implants, but not more cleavage. On the other hand, if your body is narrow below your shoulders and your breast implants are placed close together, you can achieve greater cleavage even with a small implant.

What cup size should I choose?

Women tend to think of breasts in terms of cup sizes, because that is how we buy our bras. But cup size is a very subjective measurement: everyone wears their bras differently and every bra manufacturer makes them differently. A woman may be a 36C in one bra and a 34D in another.

Breast implant sizes are actually measured in cc’s. Implants range from 120 to 960 cc, with 300 to 400 cc being the most common range. Implants also differ according to their height and diameter.

Your breast implant size should be proportionate to your body in both size (number of cc’s), projection (height) and width. For example, a 200cc implant may look large enough on a petite woman with a narrow chest, while it would look small on a tall woman with a wider chest area.

Dr. Ali will work closely with you during your consultation to determine the most appropriate implant size for you.

Choosing Breast Implants: Shape is More Important Than Size

/in , , /by

Breast Implants: Why Shape Is More Important Than Size  –

Breast augmentation surgery, is one of the top plastic surgery operations performed. One of the biggest decisions faced by women considering breast augmentation surgery is what size is right for you.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali has performed several hundred breast implant surgeries, and is an expert at helping his Troy, MI area patients choose the most beautiful breasts for their body. In this article he’ll discuss how to go about making that important choice.

Don’t Think of Breast Implants in Terms of Bra Size

Speaking about specific cup sizes is not a good way to describe a patient’s desired size in the most general of terms. To  begin with, all bra manufacturers are different. Victoria’s Secret, for example, tends to run small, so you’d wear a larger cup size at Victoria’s Secret than at Lane Bryant. As there is no standardization of sizes in the bra industry, you could very well be a 36C in one style and a 34D in another.

A more accurate measurement of your breast size is to measure them in cc’s. The most commonly selected breast implant size ranges somewhere within  300 to 400cc, although breast implants can range anywhere from 120cc to 960cc. Your ideal size will be determined by the shape of your frame and body type. What appears large on a petit woman might look comparatively small on a taller woman.

The amount of breast tissue you began with prior to your breast augmentation surgery will also factor into your implant size. Dr. Ali will work closely with you to help you determine what size implant is right for you.

Shape is More Important than Size in Breast Implants

The most important thing to concern yourself with is overall shape. Generally, women desire a full look that is still proportionate to their body. In order to achieve this, your frame size, height, and weight must all be taken into consideration. There are many choices when it comes to breast implant shape. in addition to choosing between round and teardrop shaped implants, you will need to select the “projection” of the implant from your body.

During the consultation process, our patients are given a bra to wear within which we place a series of implants of varying shape and size. This helps you visualize what you’ll look like following your breast implant surgery, and aids in Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Ali determine how best to meet your needs.

Bigger Isn’t Necessarily Better in Breast Implants

While bigger breast implants are the right option for some women, there are numerous considerations all patients should consider prior to their breast augmentation surgery. Larger implants can be somewhat more obvious, and will also be heavier than a smaller implant. If you’re a particularly athletic person, smaller implants may be a better fit for your lifestyle.

But be sure to make a choice that feels right for you and makes you as comfortable in your own skin as possible.

Breast augmentation is the specialty of Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Ali, who, along with his entire staff, will aid you in determining what size is right for you. If you’re thinking about getting breast augmentation surgery, call us today for a consultation.

Why Today’s Breast Augmentation Surgery is Better

/in , , /by

Why Today’s Breast Augmentation Surgery is Better –

It has been more than fifty years since the first breast augmentation surgery was performed, using silicone implants. Today, breast augmentation surgery is the number one most popular cosmetic surgery in the United States – with 300,000 breast augmentations performed in 2017 alone. This represents a 3% increase over 2016.

One of the reasons breast implant surgery continues to grow in popularity is the improvements made in both the implant materials and the surgical procedures over the last several years.

In this article we share 3 reasons why today’s breast augmentation surgery is better, making it easier than ever before to get the breasts you have always wanted.

While there are lots of different factors that go into getting the beautiful results you want, these three benefits of modern breast augmentation surgery make it

New Breast Augmentation Materials are More Natural

Substantial improvements have been made recently in breast implant technologies – making them both more natural and more durable than ever before.

In 2017, silicone breast implants were used in 87% of all breast augmentation surgeries. While saline implants accounted for 13% of all breast augmentations

The new generation of so-called “gummy bear” breast implants are shaped like a teardrop. The sloped shape – with more fullness at the bottom – is virtually indistinguishable from the contours of a natural breasts.

Made from High-strength cohesive (HSC) silicone gel, these newer implants remain soft and natural-feeling to the touch – just like real breasts.

They even “squish” when pressed against another person – when hugging or being intimate rather than feeling hard like previous breast implants.

New Breast Implant Materials are Sturdier & More Stable

High-strength cohesive (HSC) silicone gel is also breakthrough technology in breast implants because it is the strongest type of silicone on the market. This means that the breast implants far sturdier than they were before, and less prone to breakage or leakage.

When earlier versions of silicone breast implants were damaged the clear gel inside would slowly create leak into the body. Newer silicone implants holds their shape and do not leak if ruptured.

New Breast Augmentation Surgical Techniques are Better

Breast surgeons now have a much better and  more advanced understanding of how to minimize complications from breast augmentation surgery.

With new advances in surgical techniques there is lower risk of infection, capsule contracture, rippling and other complications.

For example, the Keller funnel now allows the surgeon to “fold and slip” the silicone implant into place (kind of like a pastry bag) through a smaller incision. Not only does this procedure minimize scarring, but it also reduces the risk of infection.

“I was always a negative-A cup, so when I was 30, I was getting a divorce, I had just finished House Bunny, and I’d sold another movie, all of these new things were happening to me, so I got my breasts done.” Regarding how she felt regarding her choice to get breast enhancement surgery, Faris stated that, “it was … awesome.”

History of Silicone Breast Implant Regulation (Part 1)

History of Silicone Breast Implant Regulation (Part 1) –

Most board certified plastic surgeons, like Detroit’s Dr. Ali, now prefer silicone breast implants for their patients because of their natural look and feel, and excellent safety record.

In this two part article Detroit area breast implant surgeon Dr. Ali discusses the regulations that have affected silicone breast implants over the years – ensuring patient safety.

Silicone Breast Implant Regulation: 1960s

Gel-filled silicone breast implants were introduced to the U.S. in 1962, and in common use by 1964.

This new technology was imperfect at first. In large part this was due to lack of study or regulation on this new technology.

But thanks to advancements in technology, rigorous scientific testing, and intensive regulation by the FDA, silicone breast implants are now very safe.

Silicone Breast Implant Regulation: 1970s

Before 1976 breast implants were not highly regulated. In 1976 the U.S. Congress passed the Medical Device Amendments to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Under this law, breast implants were considered “Class II” (moderate risk) medical devices – and as such they had to comply with general controls and performance standards.

At that time the FDA reviewed new breast implants through a process called the 510(k) Premarket Notification process, like any other Class II products.

Silicone Breast Implant Regulation: 1980s

In the early 1980s, the FDA began to identify certain local complications and adverse outcomes of these older silicone breast implants. Some reports even described cancer and connective tissue disease in a small number of women with breast implants.

As concerns arose about the safety of silicone breast implants rose, the FDA reclassified breast implant into “Class III” (higher-risk), which requires premarket approval. Breast implant manufacturers now had to provide data demonstrating the breast implants were safe and effective BEFORE they could be sold.

Silicone Breast Implant Regulation: 1990s

In 1992, the FDA still had concerns that the breast implant manufacturers were not adequately addressing public concerns about certain complications. At that time a higher incidence of implant rupture and silicone leakage was being seen.

So, the FDA removed all silicone breast implants from sale in the US, and required all manufacturers to submit premarket approval applications that contained detailed data on safety and effectiveness.

However, in the meantime, the FDA did allow manufacturers to provide silicone breast implants for reconstruction after mastectomy, correction of congenital deformities, or replacement of existing implants. So, the manufacturers enrolled women who received silicone breast implants for medical (not cosmetic) purposes in performance and safety studies.

Then in 1999, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released a detailed report compiling the results of all of these published and ongoing studies on breast implants, called Safety of Silicone Breast Implants.

This report concluded that there was no evidence that silicone breast implants caused systemic health effects such as cancer or autoimmune disease. And while it did identify rare local complications (which included rupture, pain, capsular contracture, disfigurement, infection, and repeat surgeries) silicone breast implants were now recognized as generally safe.

Silicone Breast Implant Regulation: 2000s

After years of studies and technological improvements, the FDA approved silicone gel-filled breast implants in November 2006.

As with any surgery, there is always a small number of possible local complications and adverse outcomes. However, the FDA concluded that the benefits and risks of breast implants were sufficiently well understood for women to make informed decisions about their use.

Initially, in 2006, the FDA only approved Mentor’s MemoryGel Silicone Gel-Filled Breast Implants and Allergan’s∗ Natrelle Silicone Gel-Filled Breast Implants – followed six years later by Sientra’s Silicone Gel Breast Implants.

Silicone Breast Implant Regulation: 2010s

Advanced technologies in breast implant look, feel and safety continued to be developed. And in 2013 Mentor’s MemoryShape and Allergan Natrelle 410 Highly Cohesive Breast Implants were approved.

Today these five breast implants remain the only 5 breast implants that are FDA approved for use in the US.

Pregnancy, Breast Feeding and Breast Implants

Pregnancy, Breast Feeding and Breast Implants –

Detroit area board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali has performed thousands of breast implant surgeries on women before and after pregnancy. Many women wonder the effect of breast implants, if any, on pregnancy and breastfeeding. about In this article Doctor Ali answers your questions about breast implants and pregnancy or breastfeeding.

No Breast Implants for Women who are Pregnant or Nursing

While it seems like “common sense” it is important to note that breast implant surgery should not be performed on a woman who is pregnant or nursing. However, women may get breast augmentation surgery before or after becoming pregnant and/or nursing.

Always ensure you are not pregnant before undergoing breast implants, taking a pregnancy test if there is any doubt or possibility that you may be carrying a child.

Breast Implants Before Becoming Pregnant

Some patients have asked us if having silicone gel breast implants could harm babies whose mothers became pregnant after getting breast augmentation.

We understand that nothing is more important to you than the health of your children! There is no evidence to shows that silicone breast implants have any harmful effects on children born to women with implants.

Two clinical studies in humans have found that there is NO increase in the risk of birth defects in children conceived and born after a women has had breast implant surgery.

Breast Implants Effect on Breast Feeding

In some women, there is a very small possibility that breast implant surgery might interfere with the ability to breastfeed. A very small percentage of women who have had breast augmentation surgery produce less milk, or are note able to produce milk at all. Some women with breast implants have also reported that breastfeeding is somewhat more painful after having breast implants.

In a study conducted on MemoryShape™ Breast Implants (the type of implant Dr. Ali uses), only four of the 44 breast augmentation patients who attempted to breast feed following breast implant surgery experienced difficulty. This means that 91% of the women in the study who attempted to breast feed after receiving breast implants had no difficulty.

The type of surgical technique used seems to have some effect on the likelihood of breastfeeding difficulties. For example, peri-areolar surgical approach (in which the surgeon uses an incision around the areola/nipple) has a slightly higher incidence of breastfeeding difficulties than other techniques.

Studies have also measured silicon levels in breast milk. Those studies did not indicate higher levels of silicon in breast milk from women with silicone gel breast implants when compared to women who did not have implants.

In fact, The Institute of Medicine (IOM) and The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) both have issued statements encouraging women with breast implants to breastfeed, stating that “Breastfeeding should be encouraged in all mothers when possible, including those with silicone breast implants.”

Decision Checklist for Getting Breast Implants

/in , , /by

Breast Implants: Decision Checklist – 

The surgical procedure for breast implants consists of choices you and your plastic surgeon need to make to ensure the best possible outcome and the highest degree of satisfaction with your new breasts.

In this article, Detroit area board certified plastic surgeon Doctor Ali has put together a “checklist” of the decisions you will need to make when deciding upon breast implantsurgery.

☐ Plastic Surgeon

Your surgical team – including your plastic surgeon, nurses, and anesthetist – is the most important decision you need to make.

Make sure to inquire about the number of breast implant surgeries your plastic surgeon has performed, as well as whether he or she is board certified.

Detroit area plastic surgeon Doctor Ali is double board certified, and has performed thousands of breast implants. In addition to being voted one of Hour Detroit’s “Top Docs” – many doctors seek out Doctor Ali when they need plastic surgery for themselves and their families.

☐ Type of Breast Implant

Silicone breast implants are filled with silicone gel, which feels remarkably like natural breast tissue. Saline breast implants are filled with sterile salt water. While they do provide a uniform shape, firmness and feel, they are less popular than silicone implants because they do not feel as “natural”.

☐ Size and Shape of Implant

In addition to the size that will look best on your body and achieve your appearance goals, the profile, or projection (height of the top of the breast implant from your chest) must be chosen.

☐ The location of the incisions

The location of the incisions made to insert the breast implants result in different recovery times, as well as varying amounts of scarring.  There are 3 standard types of breast implant incisions:

1: Transaxillary Breast Implant Incision, in which an incision is made through a canal placed in the natural fold of the armpit tissue;

2: Periareolar Breast Implant Incision, which involves making the incision around the circumference of the areola (the pink or brown skin around the nipple);

3: Inframammary Breast Implant Incision, made underneath the breast, in the fold where the breast and skin attach. – is not recommended for silicone gel implants such as MemoryShape.

☐ Where the implants will be placed in your breasts

Breast implants may be placed either:

1:  Subglandular – putting the breast implant directly behind the mammary gland, but in front of the muscle; or

2: Submuscular – breast implant is positioned completely behind the chest muscle wall.
