Breast Augmentation

About

A Breast Augmentation can immediately change your appearance and confidence. While most often thought of as surgery to increase the breast size using implants, an augmentation can also perfect the shape or be a perfect fit for someone wanting to achieve better symmetry.

The Consultation

During your consultation, our physicians will talk with you about desired results and discuss some of the issues you have with your breast size or shape and the surgical options that will give you the desired result. You can also expect to discuss any medical conditions, medication, and family medical history. Our surgeons will also do a comprehensive exam, for which you should bring or wear a bra to fully realize size options. We encourage all patients to ask questions during their consultation to understand their choices and the surgical process.

The Surgery

During a breast augmentation, an incision is made in an inconspicuous location to minimize scarring, and an implant is inserted either under or over the pectoral muscle depending on the patient’s body type and desired result. Prior to surgery, your surgeon will discuss the types of implants, incision options, and placement choices that will fit your body type and give you the best results. As with all surgeries, there will be pre-surgical preparations, post-surgical downtime as well as follow-up care. Our office will review these instructions and ensure each patient is prepared to heal beautifully.
