Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Lewis Albert Andres
Sourced directly from Dr. Lewis Albert Andres's social posts and replies.
Do breast implants need to be replaced every 10 years?
No, this is a common misconception. While breast implants are not considered lifetime devices and do not have a strict 10-year expiration date, many patients enjoy them for well over a decade without needing another surgery. The decision for replacement is typically based on factors such as rupture, capsular contracture, changes in aesthetic goals, or other medical considerations, not simply the passage of time.
What is important for long-term breast implant care and follow-up?
The most important thing patients can do is stay in touch with their board-certified plastic surgeon, attend recommended follow-up appointments, and report any changes or concerns regarding their breast implants.
What is Dr. Andres' approach to complex breast revision surgery?
Dr. Andres performs complex revision procedures, which can include complete capsulectomies, reshaping of breast pockets, breast lifts, and placement of new implants. While revision breast surgery can be challenging, with careful planning and advanced surgical techniques, beautiful improvements are possible, leading to improved breast shape, better symmetry, and a significant reduction in the effects of scar tissue.
What is the difference between a breast lift and breast augmentation, and how do I know which is right for me?
Many women mistakenly assume they need breast implants when a breast lift is what they are actually looking for. A breast lift is designed to improve the position and shape of the breasts by addressing sagging and restoring a more youthful contour. For some patients, a lift alone achieves their desired result, while for others, combining a lift with breast augmentation may provide additional fullness and balance. A personalized consultation is the best way to determine the right approach based on your unique anatomy, goals, and lifestyle.
What is Dr. Andres' philosophy on patient consultations and how should I prepare?
Dr. Andres views the consultation as one of the most important steps in a patient's surgical journey, extending beyond just selecting an implant size. It's an opportunity for patients to learn, ask questions, and gain confidence in their decision. The practice encourages questions and dedicates time to patient education, discussing goals, explaining options, and setting realistic expectations for all phases of surgery. Coming prepared can help you feel more confident, ask better questions, and leave with a clear understanding of your options, ensuring a personalized approach based on your unique anatomy, goals, and lifestyle.
Does Dr. Andres offer different types of breast implants?
Yes, Dr. Andres offers and discusses different types of breast implants during consultations to help patients choose the best option for their individual needs.
What is Dr. Andres' approach to breast reconstruction, including expander exchange and post-operative options?
Dr. Andres focuses on personalized breast reconstruction, often exchanging tissue expanders for smooth round silicone implants to create results that are smaller, lifted, and more proportionate to the patient's frame. Patients also have the option to pursue nipple-areola tattooing in the future after reconstruction is complete.
What is the role of nipple-areola tattooing in breast reconstruction?
Nipple-areola tattooing is considered an important finishing step in breast reconstruction, helping to create a natural and complete appearance for patients.

Industry Payments
Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.
Total received (2024)
$2,163
Payments
29
Compared to peers
Moderate
Dr. Lewis Albert Andres received $2,163 across 29 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..
What this means for your care
- A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
- Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
- Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
- A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
