    In our latest episode of the Atlas podcast, we had the privilege of speaking with Dr. LeBlanc, a former chemical engineer turned renowned plastic surgeon. We dive into a range of fascinating topics, including:

    1. Dr.LeBlanc's unique journey from chemical engineering to medicine.

    2. Dr.LeBlanc's extensive experience as a surgeon, including the number of breast augmentations performed.

    3. Insights into the duration and cost of breast augmentation surgery.

    4. How to determine the appropriate size (ccs) for implants.

    5. Balancing patient desires with ethical considerations and realistic outcomes.

    6. The choice between general and regional anesthesia, and their respective benefits.

    7. Common risks and complications of breast augmentation and minimization strategies.

    8. Managing complications during and post-surgery.

    9. Best breast augmentation methods for future breastfeeding considerations.

    10. Pros and cons of implant placement relative to muscle, and its impact on activities like weightlifting and yoga.

    11. Understanding capsular contracture, its causes, and prevention strategies.

    12. Protocols for early signs of capsular contracture and their implications.

    13. Sleeping postures with an internal bra.

    14. The intriguing concept of 'Barbie Botox' for bikini criteria.

    15. Factors leading to a gap between breasts post-augmentation.

    16. The importance of muscle release during surgery.

    17. Breast cancer risks post-implant, especially with a family history.

    18. Recovery timelines and resuming training post-surgery.

    19. Achieving consistent, excellent surgical outcomes.

    20. Exciting new technologies and innovations in breast augmentation.

    This episode is packed with essential information for anyone intrigued by plastic surgery, especially breast augmentation. If you're considering the procedure, are in the medical field, or simply curious about this area of expertise, Dr. LeBlanc's expertise provides valuable insights.

    I’d like to to make one note, as we didn’t specify an important detail in this episode: Dr. LeBlanc does not use the mesh version for the internal bra technique. Instead, he employs the barbed wire, anchors, and sutures version. We will discuss this and other topics when Dr. LeBlanc joins us for another episode.
    Don't miss out on this informative session with Dr. LeBlanc on the Atlas Podcast to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in plastic surgery. We hope you enjoy it and please leave any comments or questions you'd like us to cover in the future. Thank you!

  • Atlas Podcast #6 | James Ayotte & Victoria Schmidt | Breast Implants And Competing

    In this episode of the Atlas podcast, we explain why it's

    crucial to assess an athlete's training intensity and form, and how we do it at
    Team Atlas. We also explore the distinctions between bikini and wellness
    coaching, coaching both men and women, and the characteristics of our easiest
    and most challenging clients. Additionally, we discuss the topic of breast
    implants and competing in the bikini category. The topic of discussing breast
    implants and competition can be somewhat taboo, but let's look into the
    statistics in case there are any disputes surrounding this subject.
