Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the breasts using implants.
What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to enhance breast size, shape, and overall proportion using breast implants.
This procedure may be a good option for patients who want to increase breast volume, improve symmetry, restore fullness after pregnancy or weight changes, or achieve a more balanced silhouette. Breast augmentation is highly customizable, with implant size, shape, profile, and placement selected based on the patient’s body, goals, and lifestyle.
During a consultation, patients can discuss saline and silicone implant options, incision placement, and whether implants should be placed above or below the chest muscle. The goal is to create a result that feels natural, proportional, and aligned with the patient’s personal vision.
Benefits and Options
Breast augmentation is highly customizable. Implant size, shape, and profile are selected based on your anatomy and goals, with a focus on proportion and natural looking results.
Implants may be placed above or below the chest muscle depending on your body and desired outcome. If breast position is also a concern, augmentation can be combined with a breast lift to improve both size and shape.
Saline vs. Silicone Implants
Saline implants are silicone shells filled with sterile salt water. If a saline implant leaks, the body absorbs the fluid and the breast appears deflated.
Silicone implants are filled with silicone gel and often feel more natural. The FDA recommends periodic surveillance imaging for silicone implants starting several years after surgery and continuing at regular intervals.
