Breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves the use of implants to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. This procedure is a popular choice for women who are unhappy with the size or shape of their breasts, or who have lost volume in their breasts due to pregnancy or weight loss.
At Bayview Plastic Surgery, we understand that every woman's body is unique, and we work closely with each patient to help them achieve the look they desire. Our experienced plastic surgeons offer a range of breast augmentation options, including saline and silicone implants, to help each patient achieve their desired look.
Before undergoing breast augmentation surgery, patients will need to undergo a thorough medical evaluation to determine if they are healthy enough to undergo the procedure. They will also need to discuss their goals and expectations with their surgeon to ensure that they are realistic and achievable.
During the procedure, the surgeon will make an incision either in the crease underneath the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit. The implant will then be inserted either beneath the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle, depending on the patient's individual anatomy and desired outcome. The incision will then be closed with sutures.
One of the key benefits of breast augmentation is that it can help to boost a patient's self-confidence and body image. It can also help to create a more proportionate and balanced appearance in the body. However, it is important to note that breast augmentation is a major surgical procedure, and it should not be undertaken lightly.
After the surgery, patients will need to follow a strict recovery regimen that may include wearing a special supportive bra, avoiding strenuous activity for several weeks, and taking pain medication as needed. It is important to follow all post-operative instructions carefully in order to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.
Like any surgical procedure, there are some risks and potential complications associated with breast augmentation. These can include bleeding, infection, poor wound healing, and scarring. In some cases, patients may also experience changes in nipple sensation or difficulty breastfeeding. It is important to discuss any potential risks or concerns with your surgeon prior to undergoing the procedure.

We work closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to their specific needs and goals.
