What can I do to increase my breast size after nursing?
Breast lift does not increase breast size, but rather changes their position and shape. To increase size, you would need breast implants. If there is a considerable size difference, implants of different sizes can be chosen to achieve symmetry. Quite often, these procedures are done together, meaning you would bet both a breast lift and implants. Anthony Papp READ MORE

Considering the wound itself is clean and ready for a skin graft, the risk for failing is not that different in diabetics if blood sugar is well controlled. This will also depend on where in the body the skin graft is done to as blood circulation might be decreased in certain areas making the skin graft more likely to fail. The donor site, where the skin graft is taken from, might take slightly longer to heal. READ MORE
