Breast augmentation is one of the most popular
cosmetic surgery options. The procedure can help to improve a patient's appearance and overall self-confidence.
Breast Augmentation Candidates
Most women who opt to undergo
breast augmentation surgery do so because they wish to increase their breast size. However, patients may also request breast enlargement in conjunction with
breast lift surgery, or after a mastectomy procedure. In general, the best candidates for breast augmentation surgery are in generally good health and have reasonable expectations about the results that can be achieved with the procedure.
Breast Augmentation Procedure
The breast augmentation surgery may utilize either saline or silicone breast implants, depending upon the surgeon’s suggestion and the patient’s desired result. Various options are also available for incision sites, including the underarm, under the breast, or around the areola. Additionally, implants may be placed above or below the pectoral muscles to create different looks and textures of the resulting breasts.
Breast Augmentation Results
Under the care of a skilled plastic surgeon, breast augmentation can be an extremely successful procedure. Most patients are very satisfied with their results thanks to the extensive ability to customize the procedure to meet unique goals. To have the best outcome possible, it is important to select an experienced plastic surgeon who works with you to understand your expectations and develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs.
