Are You a Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

At our practice, we understand that the decision to undergo breast augmentation is deeply personal and warrants careful consideration. While each individual's candidacy is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, there are general criteria to determine suitability:

• Good Overall Health: Optimal health is paramount to ensure a safe and successful procedure.

• Realistic Expectations: Having a clear understanding of the potential outcomes is essential for satisfaction.

• Emotional Maturity: Making decisions about altering one's appearance requires emotional readiness and introspection.

• Age Requirement: Candidates must be over 18 for saline implants and over 22 for silicone implants.

• Financial Preparedness: Being able to accommodate the cost of the procedure within one's budget is crucial.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation offers a myriad of benefits beyond enhancing breast appearance. These include:

• Improved Body Contour: Achieve a more balanced and proportionate physique.

• Correction of Asymmetry: Address discrepancies in breast size and shape.

• Enhanced Cleavage: Achieve a more attractive and youthful décolletage.

• Restoration of Volume: Counteract the effects of aging, pregnancy, or weight loss.

• Expanded Wardrobe Options: Enjoy newfound confidence in clothing and swimwear choices.

Exploring Breast Implant Options

The selection of breast implants is a pivotal aspect of the augmentation process. At our practice, we offer a diverse range of implants to cater to individual preferences and aesthetic goals:

Saline Breast Implants

• Customized Size: These implants can be filled after insertion, allowing for precise adjustment.

• Smaller Incisions: The filling process enables smaller surgical openings.

• Safety: Saline implants are absorbed by the body in case of rupture.

Silicone Breast Implants

• Natural Look and Feel: Silicone implants offer a more realistic texture and appearance.

• FDA Approval: Extensively studied and approved for safety and efficacy.

Gummy Bear Implants

• Shape Retention: Denser silicone gel maintains shape and form.

• Natural Feel: Mimics the suppleness of natural breast tissue.

Implant Placement Options

The placement of breast implants significantly impacts the outcome of the procedure. We offer two primary placement options tailored to individual anatomy and goals:

Subglandular Placement

• Ideal for Natural Breast Tissue: Positioned behind the breast tissue and over the chest muscle.

• Advantages: Accommodates larger implants, provides lift, and entails shorter recovery.

Submuscular Placement

• Enhanced Coverage: Partially situated beneath the chest muscle for a natural appearance.

• Benefits: Reduced risk of complications, improved support, and minimal interference with mammograms.

Choosing the Right Incision

Selecting the appropriate incision site is crucial for achieving optimal results. Our practice offers several options, each with unique advantages:

• Peri-Areolar Incision: Positioned around the lower border of the areola, offering precise implant placement.

• Inframammary Incision: Located near the breast fold, providing easy access and minimal interference with breastfeeding.

• Transaxillary Incision: Placed in the armpit, ensuring discreet scarring and preserving nipple sensation.

Breast Augmentation Revision Surgery

While modern implants are durable, they may require revision over time. Common reasons for revision include implant rupture, aesthetic preferences, or addressing changes in breast appearance.
