Breast enlargement, technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape
of a woman's breast. The procedure is performed to enhance the body contour of a woman who feels her breast size is too small.
Other reasons for augmentation mammoplasty are to balance a difference in breast size or as a reconstructive technique following
breast surgery.
By inserting an implant behind each breast surgeons are able to increase a woman's bustline. After several months, scars
are usually inconspicuous. At present, saline implants are used though silicone gel can be used for breast deformities
or in conjunction with breast lift surgery. At times a breast lift is done at the same time.
Breast augmentation
is usually done to balance a difference in breast size, to improve body contour, or as a reconstructive technique following
surgery. Incisions are made to keep scars as inconspicuous as possible, in the breast crease, around the nipple, or in the
armpit. Breast tissue and skin is lifted to create a pocket for each implant.
The breast implant may be inserted directly
under the breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle. After surgery, breasts appear fuller and more natural in tone and
contour. Scars will fade with time.
The best candidates for Breast Enlargements
Breast augmentation can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence. The best candidates for breast augmentation are
women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you're physically healthy and realistic in
your expectations, you may be a good candidate.
Common Concerns
If a patient has any concerns about their surgery, the consultation is a good time to discuss this. Some of the more common
concerns include: return to activities, the anesthetic, dying, safety of the implant, achieving the desired result, hardening
of the implants and pain. When a patient has a friend who may have had considerable pain after their surgery, this naturally
would have an impact on their willingness to "suffer" through the procedure. We have made considerable strides with pain control.
