How Breast Augmentation Works

For many women, the result of breast augmentation can be satisfying, even exhilarating, as they learn to appreciate their fuller appearance. Your decision to have breast augmentation is a highly personal one that not everyone will understand. The important thing is how you feel about it.

The operation is accomplished by placement of breast implant, either saline or silicone gel filled, beneath the breast and chest wall muscle. It is done through a small well-hidden incision either in the crease below the breast or in the armpit. Breast augmentation is done as an outpatient under general anesthesia in our office surgery centers.  Recovery is fairly quick and patients are happy.

Women Choose to Undergo the Procedure for a Variety of Reasons:

N

To increase breast size in order to improve body proportions and aesthetics.

N

To correct the loss in breast volume following pregnancy and breast feeding.

N

To balance breast size when an asymmetry exists.

N

As an adjunct to breast reconstruction.
