We receive many questions about placement of breast implants from our patients.
When a patient has breast augmentation surgery, the breast implant can either be placed partially under the pectoralis major muscle (submuscular) or on top of the muscle and under the breast gland (subglandular).
Let Dr. Niessen help you decide which placement would be best for you.

Lipolysis injections or Lipodissolve must not be regarded as a new miracle drug for weight reduction. When it comes to fat deposits which can not be eliminated by diet or exercise, Lipodissolve initiates a process during which fat is melted away and then eliminated from the body via the usual metabolic process.
See if Lipodissolve is right for you.

Many women with breast implants have successfully breast fed their babies.  A peri-areolar incision is more likely to affect this ability.  Some women experience mastitis, inflammation of the breast ducts, during this time, which can also cause capsular contracture.  Taking antibiotics when symptoms first appear may minimize the potential of this problem.

After the holidays, many people make a New Year’s resolution to get into better shape, either for their self-esteem or health reasons.   Many are trying to rid themselves of the extra pounds they put on, while celebrating the holidays.  We can help with this.

 Despite good health and a reasonable level of exercise, some people may still have a body with disproportionate contours due to localized fat deposits. These areas can be treated with either liposuction orLipodissolve.

Meet with Dr. Niessen to discuss which procedure would be best for you.

Dr. Niessen asks that women wait 2 months before wearing an under wire bra, after having had either breast implant or breast lift surgery. Your body is forming scar tissue around the breast implant for this period.   During this time, the pressure from the under wire bra could cause irritation to your incision, and we suggest women wear a sports bra during their recovery time.

We offer breast implants that are manufactured by Mentor Canada.  Your decision to use Mentor breast implants for your breast augmentation is a personal, long-term decision.  Because breast implants may not last your entire lifetime, Mentor supports your decision by strongly standing behind their Lifetime Product Replacement Policy.  Should you have a problem with your breast implant, Mentor will replace it free of charge.

Lipodissolve is perfectly safe.  Phosphatidylcholine (PPC) is a component of every cell in our body. As well, PPC is produced naturally by our bodies. It is highly concentrated in liver cells and fat cells and is a large part of nerve cells. PPC injected to dissolve stubborn fat deposits is derived from the soy plant. It has been used in other fields of medicine to treat fat embolism in the lung and for lowering blood cholesterol levels. When PPC is injected into fat cells, it has a detergent like effect and causes fat cells to rupture and then dissolve. The liver then breaks down this fat and it is excreted by the body. These fat dissolving injections also cause tightening of the skin in the treatment areas.

Can I go to the tanning salon or sunbathe if I have implants?
Tanning at salons or sun bathing will not hurt your breast implant, but it may make your scars unfavourable. You should cover your scars with sunscreen, should you choose to tan, until your scars have faded.
