Breast Augmentation

Wiki Index


There's not a lot of trans specific info on BA, so there's a fair amount of cis-female links here. Many of the surgeons that do BA also do hips/butt, so check there also.

Round vs. Anatomical Breast Implants

Anatomical implants are said to produce a better aesthetic result compare to the traditional round implants. However implants can rotate, and when this happens with an anatomical it's not good.

String Implants

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene_breast_implant - "Polypropylene breast implants, also known as string breast implants, are a form of breast implant using polypropylene developed by Gerald W. Johnson. Due to a number of medical complications, the device has not been approved in the European Union or the United States."

Fat Transfer

The limitations of breast fat transfer appear to be mainly in the size of the increase (typically about 1 cup per round of surgery), and that its yet a well established procedure and highly dependant on the surgeons expertise. There are very few surgeons who can sucessfully transfer a large amount of fat, and it may require more than one round of fat transfer.

Papers

There's further papers by Roger Khouri.

The section on Hips and Butt describes the dangers of fat transfer, but this appears to apply to BBL only. This paper on BBL Commentary on: Report on Mortality From Gluteal Fat Grafting: Recommendations From the ASERF Task Force by Wall S Jr, Del Vecchio D. in 2017, makes the interesting observation " An interesting comparison can be made to fat grafting of the breast. Consider that many thousands of fat grafting to the breast procedures have been performed, all of which include fat grafting into the subcutaneous plane. Included in these numbers are over 6000 such operations by just three of the busiest breast fat grafting surgeons in the world, yet it appears that there have been no published reported cases of fatal or nonfatal PFE from fat transplantation to the breast". The 3 busiest surgeons are

Complication Rates vs Implants

I need to look into this.

Roger Khalil Khouri & BRAVA

Dr Roger K. Khouri is very active in this area, publishing papers and founding the company Brava LLC to sell the Brava device that's used by some surgeons before breast fat transfer. While there is a conflict of interest here, there are papers supporting by others. The Brava device is/was US$2500.

Surgeons sites

Review sites - its worth reading the complaints in these.

Appears to have one maplractice case, with nothing paid

Khouri discloses on some papers that he has an equity interest in Brava LLC and Lipocosm (company that makes and sells an instrument used in breast fat grafting).

FDA WARNING LETTER Brava, LLC 28/08/2014 - "This Warning Letter is to inform you of objectionable conditions observed during the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection conducted at Brava, LLC, from February 4, 2014, to March 14, 2014, by an investigator from the FDA Florida District Office. This inspection was conducted to determine whether your firm’s activities and procedures as sponsor of the clinical studies entitled, “Breast Reconstruction and Augmentation with Brava Enhanced Autologous Fat Micro Grafting” (Protocol No. 2004-02 and Protocol No. 2004-03), complied with applicable federal regulations." AND "It appears that your firm did not take appropriate measures to mitigate study bias when a clinical investigator has a financial interest in the outcome of the study, or a proprietary interest in the product."

Suction Devices

These work by having suction cups over the breasts and have the appearance of being a scam. You'd think if they actually worked they would be very popular and well known instead of some fringe treatment. However I'm uncertain as there are medical research papers on these devices, some surgeons use the BRAVA device prior to fat transfer (which is a somewhat different application), and there are some seemingly credible posts/videos. It appears that it can work, but you have to be very dedicated to stick with it long enough and most women will give up first.

Enhance Breast Enlargement System

https://enhancebreastenlargement.com/

These two YouTube videos discuss the Brava and Enhance Breast Enlargement System. The Enhance product is US$315, but the breast cups appear to be the same as sold on the Chinese site aliexpress for significantly less money (seach for "vacuum breast"). The key point to look for is the attachement for the tubing exiting the cup to the side, which seems more sensible that sticking directly out. A couple of examples are here and here.

Cosmetic Surgeon vs Plastic Surgeon

https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/guide-to-cosmetic-surgery - "There is a significant difference between cosmetic surgeons and plastic surgeons. To become a plastic surgeon, a doctor must — after they qualify as a doctor — do at least another 5 years of training and study through the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) to obtain a specialist qualification recognised by the Australian Government. By contrast, any doctor can call themselves a cosmetic surgeon — without any further training after their initial medical training or any specialist qualification. It is legal for any doctor to perform many cosmetic surgery procedures."*
