 Breast
Augmentation is surgical procedure designed to increase the size
and enhance the shape of one’s breasts. Not only can this
procedure enhance your appearance, it can possibly help build your
self-confidence and self esteem. Also as a result of the procedure,
many women have found it easier to dress in certain styles of clothing.
Women have different reasons for undergoing breast augmentation.
The Best Candidates for Breast Augmentation are:
• Women who feel their breasts are too small and looking to
improve their figure.
• Women who have lost breast volume and shape as a result
of pregnancy and nursing.
• Woman whose breasts have lost volume and shape as a result
of aging.
• There is a significant difference in the sizes of both
breasts
• Weight loss has changed the shape and or size of your breast
For any reason a woman might have for wanting breast augmentation,
ultimately the individual should be in good physical condition and
have realistic goals and expectations in order to be considered
a good candidate for the procedure.
The breast augmentation procedure involves the surgical placement
of an implant within a woman’s breast. A breast implant is
a silicone shell filled with either a saltwater solution known as
saline, or filed with a silicone gel. If the saline-filled implant
leaks, the fluid is absorbed into the body. This is the same as
if the saline were given as an IV fluid. Currently the FDA approves
saline-filled implants to be used on an unrestricted basis, while
silicone gel-filled implants are only to be used in certain cases.
Information regarding implants is discussed with the patient during
consultation and at the time of surgery.
The incision can be placed in a number of different locations including
around the areola, in the armpit, but often times it is made underneath
the breast and just above the crease. The doctor takes every effort
to assure that the incision is placed so the resulting scars will
be as inconspicuous as possible. After the incision is made, a pocket
is created either under the breast tissue or under the pectoralis
muscle. This pocket is made just large enough to accommodate the
implant. The implant is then positioned to give the best cosmetic
result. The method of inserting and positioning an implant is dependent
upon factors based on the patient's anatomy that are discussed with
Your doctor at the time of the consultation.
Following surgery, detailed instructions are given to the patient
as to postoperative care and activity. It is important for a patient
to follow these instructions in order to minimize any complications
and to help achieve the best results. The surgeon will also advise
the patient as to when they can return to their normal activities.
Most patients are able to return to work within a few days, and
more strenuous activities in about two to three weeks following
surgery. Please Contact Dr.
