New Series: Boob Talk Episode #1

Do I really need a lift with my breast augmentation?

Part 1: Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Marc Mani shares his expertise about breast augmentations and discusses the question of having a lift with your implants or not.

Sometimes there are complications to breast augmentation. A double bubble is a post surgery complication. Healing takes 3-6 months before you can have revision surgery. 

Implants make a breast bigger; they really don't lift a breast. However, there are times that an implant can create lift on some patients. But implants don't really lift the breast as a whole.  Larger implants will be more above the nipple and have a higher complication rate. Dr. Mani prefers smaller implants especially in mature patients. 

If you feel you need a lift after your implant its best to wait 6-12 months before you have a lift.

Many women opt for tummy tucks. After the surgery they are excited to show off their new bodies. However, sometimes the scar is placed to high or it does not heal well. 

Tune in to hear how one woman solved the ugly tummy tuck scar problem.

Denise O'Connell is the Founder of TuckTats, and lives in Canada. 

Denise had a tummy tuck and knew that there was a possibility that she would not heal well due to a prior surgery and her skin type.

Denise loved her new body, wanted to show it off, but ultimately her scar was placed too high on her abdomen and as expected did not heal well. She was left with an angry high scar, so she could not show off her new body in bikinis. She tried scar cream and silicone applications but her scar still looked angry. Denise did not want to spend more money on scar revision or laser. She was tired of wearing high bikinis.

Tune in to hear Denise discuss how she solved her problem. Now women everywhere can cover their abdominal scars in a sexy and fun way.

TuckTats are beautiful professionally designed temporary tattoos.
