I\u2019ve answered hundreds of questions about breast implants in my office and in my book<\/a>, The Scoop On Breasts: A Plastic Surgeon Busts the Myths<\/em>, but answering questions on Reddit? That’s another story!<\/p>\n <\/a>On Dec. 13 at 4 p.m., I hosted a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything!) session. I was introduced like this:<\/span><\/p>\n IamA Guinness World Record Holding Breast Surgeon. I’ve examined at least 56,000 breasts during my 25-plus-year career as a plastic surgeon. I’m an expert knife and tomahawk <\/span>thrower. AMA! <\/span><\/p>\n I might not have gotten as many questions as Barack Obama, Jerry Seinfeld or Arnold Schwarzenegger did when they were on Reddit, but I probably had as much fun.\u00a0Here are a handful of the questions I was asked and my responses.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2666 Tinkletwit:<\/strong> <\/span>Did you train on cadavers? If so, was the former person aware that they’d be getting implants in the afterlife?<\/p>\n Drted:<\/strong> Two years ago, I trained other surgeons on a cadaver in a workshop at Louisiana State University. They wanted to learn my approach to simultaneous breast augmentation and lift. About the afterlife? I didn\u2019t know so I googled it and found this on HuffPost:<\/a> \u201cMost programs won\u2019t allow you to donate your body for a specific purpose. You give them the body and they decide how to use it.\u201d So I guess the person didn\u2019t know she would be getting new, perky breasts.<\/p>\n \u2666 Nine\u00ad\u00ad_2_nine:<\/strong> <\/span>I\u2019ve nursed three babies in four years for 12 months each, so my boobs are pretty much shot. I\u2019m considering fixing them sometime in the next 7 years or so.\u00a0How would my boobs age as I age? Would they eventually sag? Would I be an old lady with rockin hooters?<\/p>\n Drted:<\/strong> As you age, you lose skin elasticity. Everything begins to droop a bit and go south. If you have breast implants, they won\u2019t stay up high. They\u2019ll move south, too, along with your breasts. You\u2019ll be a rockin\u2019 old lady with normal hooters!<\/p>\n \u2666 DrPolitick: <\/strong><\/span>What\u2019s the farthest someone has traveled to get boobs from you?<\/p>\n Drted:<\/strong> India first, and then Ireland. (My office is in Philadelphia.) A woman from Oregon rented an RV and took a family road trip to Philly so I could do her surgery. I\u2019ve had patients from many places in between, but these are pretty much the farthest.<\/p>\n
