Although most patients undergoing a breast augmentation are most concerned with the immediate results, it is important to also consider how your breast implants will look over time, as a breast augmentation is a long-term commitment. While follow up appointments may be necessary down the road, in most cases, breast implants age very well provided that you take good care of your body. However, a number of different factors associated with aging may bring about changes in your breasts over time.

The stomach can be a troublesome area for men and women alike and unfortunately, in many cases, diet and exercise alone cannot eliminate the stubborn pockets of fat and loose skin that often develop as a result of genetics, the natural aging process, significant weight loss, or multiple pregnancies. Luckily, a popular procedure in Toronto known as abdominoplasty or tummy tuck, can tackle this problem by eradicating excess fat and skin and tightening the abdominal muscles, improving the body’s contour. While it is a misconception that a tummy tuck alone can deliver washboard abs, abdominoplasty can make it easier for […]
The infection rate for breast augmentation is estimated to be 1.1% to 2.5%, based on multiple studies that have been conducted thus far.

There are a few factors that impact the risk of infection for breast surgery, whether it is for aesthetic or functional reasons.

Smoking
BMI
Prior breast surgery
Steroid therapy

Everyone’s nipples and areolae (the dark tissue surrounding the nipple) are different, ranging in shape, colour and size. While each of us is born with a unique combination of these “normal” traits, our nipples still change throughout our lives as hormone levels shift during puberty, pregnancy and/or breastfeeding, as well as with age.
Some level of variation is to be expected, but it’s still important to monitor your nipples for unusual changes that can’t be attributed to natural causes. Coupling a monthly breast self-exam with a check for nipple abnormality will help you to watch out for the development of any […]
Breast augmentation involves the creation of a pocket that allows for the placement of the breast implant. The pocket can be made in one of two places: under the breast itself (sub-mammary or sub-glandular), or under both the breast and chest muscle (sub-pectoral or sub-muscular).SUB-MAMMARY POCKETIn sub-mammary implant placement (also known as sub-glandular), the breast implant is placed between the breast tissue and the chest muscle.
This position is frequently recommended for women who already have a fair amount of breast tissue. They may also have a mild degree of breast droopiness (ptosis). A moderate amount of breast tissue will help […]
