Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation surgery enhances breast volume and shape by placing implants behind the breast tissue. This procedure can boost a woman’s body image, self-esteem, and confidence. Women often seek this surgery to achieve a balanced body proportion, replace lost volume, or correct breast asymmetries. Our clinic provides a personalized approach, ensuring natural and proportional results.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Augmentation

Good candidates for breast augmentation are healthy women at a stable weight who desire fuller breasts. This surgery suits those with naturally small breasts, those who have experienced changes post-pregnancy, or those seeking improved symmetry. A consultation with our plastic surgeon will help determine if this procedure, possibly combined with a breast lift, is right for you.

Options for Breast Implants

Breast implant choices include saline or silicone gel-filled types, both FDA-approved for safety and effectiveness. Implants vary in texture, shape, and volume, accommodating a range of aesthetic goals:

  • Saline implants are adjustable and suited for visible firmness.
  • Silicone gel implants offer a more natural feel and less rippling. Your surgeon will discuss the best options for your body type and cosmetic goals during your consultation.

Benefits of Silicone Gel Implants

Silicone gel implants are favored for their natural look and feel. They are especially advantageous for thin patients due to reduced rippling. Our practice recommends these implants for both cosmetic augmentations and reconstructive needs after breast cancer, prioritizing a natural aesthetic and safety.

Is Silicone Safe?

Our clinic is dedicated to educating patients on the safety of silicone implants, which have been extensively tested and are FDA-approved. We emphasize that both saline and silicone implants are reliable choices for breast augmentation. Silicone’s versatility and safety have made it a cornerstone in many medical devices.

Surgical Techniques and Incisions

The most common technique for inserting breast implants is through the inframammary fold incision. This method minimizes breast function disruption and maximizes aesthetic outcomes:

  • Preserves breastfeeding capability and sensation.
  • Hides scars effectively within natural contours. Alternative incisions, such as peri-areolar or trans-axillary, are discussed as per individual suitability and risk factors.

Breast augmentation involves creating a pocket for the implant, either above or below the muscle. We use sizers during surgery to ensure the perfect implant choice for your desired look. This approach helps achieve a natural and harmonious appearance aligned with your body’s proportions.

Post-Surgical Recovery and Scars

Breast augmentation recovery involves managing discomfort and minimizing scars. We provide detailed postoperative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and excellent aesthetic results. Scars are typically well-concealed and fade significantly over time.

While breast augmentation is generally safe, it’s crucial to understand potential risks and long-term considerations. Our team ensures continuous follow-up care and addresses any concerns swiftly. Future surgeries may or may not be necessary to replace or adjust implants, depending on personal circumstances and preferences.

Making Your Decision

Choosing breast augmentation is a significant decision. Our clinic ensures you are thoroughly informed about all aspects of the procedure, from safety to recovery, helping you make a decision that aligns with your aesthetic goals and lifestyle.
