Breast augmentation, also known as breast enhancement, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast by the insertion of an implant.Breast augmentation can be the solution for a fuller, more proportioned look. Every year, thousands of women enhance their figures and improve their self image and self confidence with breast augmentation. Is this the year you do the same?

Why choose augmentation?

You might think your breast size too small, disproportionate or out of balance with the rest of your body. You might have a loss of size and firmness following pregnancy, weight loss, age, or other causes. Your breasts might not have developed to a desirable size after puberty. Your breasts might be asymmetrical (unequal) or abnormally shaped. You may choose a breast augmentation for reconstructive purposes to restore a breast that is lost due to mastectomy or injury. Because every woman has different reasons to undergo breast augmentation, your surgical procedure will be tailored to match your needs and expectations.

What is Breast Augmentation?

A breast augmentation, or augmentation mammaplasty, enlarges a woman's breast(s) through the surgical placement of breast implants. It is performed to increase fullness and projection, or to improve symmetry of the breasts.

Breast Augmentation can:

• Enlarge a naturally small breast
• Restore breast volume lost following pregnancy or weight loss
• Achieve better symmetry when breasts are disproportionate in size and shape

Your surgeon will also give you certain preoperative care instructions. While we have included some on our website, they should not be a substitute for your physician's instructions.

Type of Implants

The Plastic Surgery Center uses saline and gel implants. We generally use Natrelle implants, but if a patient requests Mentor implants, or has a warranty that requires a Mentor device, we will use them.

What to Expect

Your surgery may be performed in our accredited ambulatory surgical suite or a hospital. The decision for anesthesia will be based on the requirements of your specific procedure and considerations of your preference as well as your surgeon's. At the Plastic Surgery Center, your safety and comfort are very important.

Breast Augmentation Recovery Time and Expectations

You may have swelling and discomfort during your initial healing that can be controlled with medication. You may return to light, normal activity when you feel ready - usually in a few days. Your healing will continue for several weeks. Your physician will provide you with more specific post op instructions. We have included some basic instructions on our website for pre op, post op and scar care, but they are not a substitute for your physician's specific guidelines.

After Breast Augmentation

Your results are immediately visible. Final results appear gradually over several weeks as the swelling lessens.

*Some restrictions may apply on the complimentary consultation. Does not apply to insurance funded surgeries.
