Recognizing Breast Implant Illness After Breast Cancer Recovery

After breast cancer treatment, you may have chosen implant reconstruction to feel whole again: to reclaim your shape and sense of self. For many survivors, implants seem like the final step in a long and emotional journey. However, months or even years later, some women begin to notice symptoms that seem unrelated to their recovery: fatigue, pain, brain fog, or inflammation that no test seems to explain. At Executive Plastic Surgery in Bloomfield Township, Dr. Shaher Khan, our board-certified plastic…

Understanding the Overlap Between Breast Implant Illness and Breast Cancer Symptoms

The Connection Between the FDA and Breast Implants

Breast implants are one of the most widely performed procedures in cosmetic surgery. You may have considered them for reasons ranging from restoring volume after pregnancy to reshaping your figure or to fit a certain beauty standard that’s been marketed for decades. On the surface, they’re presented as a simple solution for body image. But the reality is more complex. While many women choose implants, the risks can be significant and, for some, life-altering. From chronic pain and autoimmune-like symptoms…

Breast Implants and Breast Cancer Screening

Breast implants have been marketed for decades as a way to enhance confidence and body image. Yet, what many women are not told is that breast implants can interfere with one of the most important aspects of their long-term health: breast cancer screening. Not only can implants obscure mammogram images and make it harder to detect abnormalities early, but in some cases, they may also be linked to a rare but serious type of cancer known as breast implant–associated anaplastic…

What Are the Risks When Having Fat Transfer to the Breasts?

If you’re considering breast enhancement but don’t want to risk implants (rightfully so), fat transfer may have caught your attention as a "natural" alternative.

Fat transfer to the breasts can lead to complications like fat necrosis, calcifications, and much more. That’s why Dr. Shaher Khan, our double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Executive…

What is a Double Bubble Deformity of the Breast?

You’ve recently had breast augmentation, but something doesn’t look quite right. When you glance in the mirror, you notice an unusual bulge beneath your breast, almost like there are two separate folds where there should only be one. Maybe one breast sits higher than the other, or your breast shape looks distorted. This is known as a double bubble deformity, a visible distortion that can happen when breast implants don’t align properly with your anatomy. At Executive Plastic Surgery in…

Have you noticed that one breast sits higher, looks fuller, or simply feels different than the other? Breast asymmetry, where one breast differs in size, shape, or position, is far more common than you might think.
