Elevating Your Breast Augmentation Experience

At our clinic, we pride ourselves on offering unparalleled breast augmentation services in Portland, OR. Our approach to breast enhancement is designed to not only meet but exceed your expectations, providing you with a unique and personalized experience that ensures outstanding results.

The Internal Bra Technique: A Revolution in Breast Augmentation

One of the key differentiators of our breast augmentation procedures is the use of the internal bra technique. This innovative method utilizes your own tissues to create a permanent shelf for the implant, ensuring long-lasting support and natural aesthetics without the use of synthetic mesh. This technique helps maintain the ideal position of the implants, prevents downward migration, and enhances overall cleavage and fullness.

Comprehensive Consultation and Customization

We believe that the journey to achieving your desired breast augmentation results begins with a thorough consultation. Unlike other clinics that may provide limited interaction, we ensure that our patients receive personalized attention. During your consultation, we will:

• Evaluate Your Goals and Anatomy: Understand your aesthetic aspirations and assess your unique anatomy to recommend the best implant size and type.

• Implant Selection Process: Allow you to try on different implant sizes to visualize the potential outcomes, ensuring that you make an informed decision.

• Fat Grafting Expertise: Offer fat grafting options to enhance the cleavage and create a more natural look by adding volume to specific areas.

Swift Recovery: Back to Your Routine in No Time

Our breast augmentation procedures are designed with your convenience in mind. The innovative techniques we employ allow for a remarkably swift recovery, often enabling patients to resume their daily activities within 24 hours post-surgery. Key aspects of our recovery process include:

• Outpatient Procedure: The surgery typically lasts 1.5 to 2 hours.

• Minimal Discomfort: Most patients manage post-operative pain with over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen.

• Quick Return to Activity: You can expect to be up and about, engaging in light activities, the evening of your surgery.

Recovery Timeline

• Driving: 2-3 days

• Remote Work: 2-3 days

• In-Office Work: 4-7 days

• Exercise:

  • Walking: Immediately

  • Gentle Cardio: 2 weeks

  • Lower Body Workouts: 3 weeks

  • Upper Body and Chest Exercises: 6 weeks

  • Running/Jogging: 6 weeks

Combining Procedures for Enhanced Results

Many patients opt to combine breast augmentation with other procedures such as a breast lift (mastopexy), tummy tuck, labiaplasty, or liposuction. Combining these procedures can achieve a more comprehensive transformation, often referred to as a "mommy makeover." This holistic approach addresses multiple aesthetic concerns in a single surgical session, optimizing both recovery time and results.

The Internal Bra Explained

The internal bra technique is central to our breast augmentation success. This method involves the strategic placement of stitches using your own tissues to form a supportive shelf for the implant. This support system ensures that the implants remain securely in place, providing a fuller upper pole, defined cleavage, and a more natural braless look.

Understanding Breast Implants

Types of Breast Implants

1. Silicone Gel Implants: Known for their natural feel and decreased risk of rippling, these implants use a cohesive gel that maintains its shape even when punctured.

2. Saline Implants: Filled with sterile salt water, these implants are adjustable and require no MRI or ultrasound for rupture detection.

Leading Breast Implant Brands

• Allergan: The Natrelle and Inspira lines offer implants with varying fill ratios for enhanced fullness.

• Sientra: Available exclusively through board-certified surgeons, known for their cohesive gel and superior warranty.

• Mentor: Offers round silicone, saline, and shaped gel implants with a focus on memory shape technology.

Surgical Techniques and Incisions

Our preferred method involves the inframammary incision, placed in the fold beneath the breast. This technique minimizes visible scarring and reduces the risk of capsular contracture. During the procedure, we:

• Create a precise pocket under the muscle.

• Use a "no touch" technique with a Keller funnel to insert the implant.

• Close the incision with dissolvable sutures, covered by a waterproof bandage.

Managing Complications and Ensuring Safety

While complications are rare, we prioritize patient safety and are prepared to address any issues that may arise. Common complications include hematoma, deep infection, implant rupture, and capsular contracture. Our rigorous protocols and state-of-the-art techniques significantly reduce these risks, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients.
