Breast Augmentation (Augmentation Mamoplasty)
Who is a Candidate?
Women who desire larger breasts.
Women with a moderate degree of sagging and smaller breasts, whose problems can be solved by enlargement.
Women who have one breast that is noticeably smaller than the other.
Indented Results
Larger and more shapely breasts.
A more positive self image.
Procedure Description
A small incision is made around the nipple or under the breast and a saline implant is inserted under the breast tissue or under the breast tissue and the underlying muscle.
Recuperation and Healing
The patient goes home in an elastic bra to hold the breasts in the correct position.
Initial discomfort is controlled with oral medication.
Sutures are usually removed in 7-12 days.
Light activities can be resumes as tolerated, aerobic activities in about 3 weeks. Moving or sliding the implants within the breast pockets during the postoperative period may reduce the frequency of wrinkling.
Other Options
An additional procedure that would enhance the result is a Mastopexy (breast lift) -- if the breasts are saggy in addition to being small.
Insurance Guidelines
Since this procedure is considered cosmetic, the patient is responsible for payment.
Note
The specific risks and the suitability of this procedure can be determined only at the time of consultation. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are unusual.
