Breast Augmentation - Breast Implants & Breast Enhancement

Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation utilizes breast implants to increase breast size while enhancing contours for a more pronounced set of breasts. Many women are not satisfied with the present state of their breasts and would like to add size and shape to their bust. Over time, breasts tend to sag downwards and lose youthful-looking definition. Additionally, pregnancy and breastfeeding may result in a loss of breast fullness and elasticity as you get older. Breast plastic surgeons strive to achieve youthful, natural-looking breasts when performing breast surgery. Thanks to cutting-edge technology, breast implants can be inserted with minimal incisions, as well as less post-procedure bruising and swelling than breast augmentation techniques of the past. Natural breast augmentation using fat transfer techniques can also be utilized to improve breast shape. Patients can opt for breast implant surgery to achieve long-lasting improvements to breast volume.

Your Breast Implant Procedure

Depending on your particular breast augmentation procedure, your surgery may be performed either at an outpatient surgical facility or a local hospital. Incisions are carefully placed along the breasts and implants are inserted to provide natural-looking volume. Breast implants can be inserted in such a position that retains the natural curvature of your breasts and hides the implants from view. Your breast surgeon will discuss which breast augmentation technique is right for you, as well as which size, shape, and type of breast implant best fits your needs.

Your Natural Breast Augmentation Procedure

Natural breast augmentation uses your body’s own fat cells to add volume and fullness to your breasts. Breast fat transfer may be performed at either an outpatient surgical facility or a local hospital.

During natural breast enhancement, your breast surgeon will choose an appropriate donor site with an ample amount of fat cells. Oftentimes, excess fat is taken from the buttocks, thighs, or abdomen for your fat grafting procedure. Liposuction is used to carefully extract fat cells from the donor location. These cells are prepared and then gently injected into the breasts to add volume. Using your natural fat, your breast surgeon can shape the breasts to achieve a fuller, more proportional appearance.

Breast augmentation can be combined with other breast enhancement techniques to further improve breast shape. For example, many patients opt for breast augmentation and a breast lift to eliminate sagging and restore the breasts to a youthful position. Other body contouring procedures can be used alongside breast augmentation, as well, including liposuction, tummy tuck surgery, and mommy makeover surgery.

What To Expect After Undergoing Breast Augmentation Surgery

Patients can expect mild swelling or bruising to occur in the days following treatment; these effects should subside within 1-2 weeks. Patients are usually back to work within a few days of their breast surgery. Detailed timeframes will be explained during your breast augmentation consultation. Many breast surgeons are equipped with the latest breast enhancement technologies to ensure that your breast augmentation procedure is performed with minimal incisions; this ensures that post-procedure scars remain as inconspicuous as possible.

Breast augmentation can achieve younger-looking breasts that are natural in their appearance. Results are long-lasting.
