FAQ

Juvederm®

Depending on the cause, male gynecomastia can recede on its own. Many cases of adolescent gynecomastia resolve on their own. Additionally, if the breasts are enlarged due to medication or a similar factor, halting the treatment may improve the symptoms of gynecomastia. If you want to identify the cause of the problem, consult with a double board-certified specialized physician in your area.

Do breast implants lift the breasts?

No. A common myth is that women who need a breast lift can avoid it by having larger breast implants placed. This will not only be unsuccessful in lifting the breasts, but it will also put excess strain on the tissues and skin leading to higher need for revision surgeries. A woman who needs a lift but only has breast implants placed will likely develop a “Snoopy Deformity”: the breast will look like Snoopy’s head in profile because the implant will sit up high and the breast tissue will remain low.

Do implants need to be replaced every so many years?

There are several factors that go into selecting the best implant size for a patient. The patient’s aesthetic goal is very important, but also has to be realistic with their actual breast and soft tissue anatomy. The base diameter of the breast is the most important measurement that plastic surgeons consider. This is the natural width of your breast with your arms at your sides. Not using an implant that is wider than your base diameter is very important. Dr. Dadvand uses the 3D Vectra camera system to give patients an image of what their breasts would look like with different size implants based on their specific breast dimensions. Finally, during the operation Dr. Dadvand uses sample implant sizers to determine what size is the most harmonious with both the patient’s pre-stated goals and their natural anatomy. Based on the sizers Dr. Dadvand is able to then place the best sized implants for each patient.

How do you determine the best implant size for me?

What are the main risks of the surgery?

The short term risks of the surgery are bleeding and infection. However, these risks are very low because Dr. Dadvand developed a technique that leads to less than a teaspoon of blood loss during the surgery. Dr. Dadvand also uses a special antibiotic fluid to wash the posket before placing the implants. The long term risks of the surgery are capsular contracture, implant rupture, and implant rippling. Dr. Dadvand goes to great lengths in minimizing the risk of capsular contracture by using excellent technique, antibiotic solution, and a No-Touch technique to place the implants using the Keller funnel.
