Breast Enlargement Surgery for Improved Bust Line

Aging, genetics, pregnancy and childbirth are factors that affect the natural shape of the breasts. For many women small, underdeveloped and sagging breasts are a major concern. Breast enlargement surgery is an ideal option for women who are unhappy with the size or symmetry. With advancements in cosmetic surgery, women can now choose from various breast surgery options to achieve natural looking, attractive breasts.

Breast Augmentation Options

Breast Implants – This is breast augmentation using FDA-approved silicone gel, saline or gummy bear implants. Based on various factors such as body anatomy and breast size, the plastic surgeon recommends the ideal type of implant and incision pattern for the patient. These implants are available in various shapes, shell thickness and sizes to suit any body type. Incision location also varies and may be around the edge of the areola, under the crease of the breast, or through the armpit. The implant is inserted behind the mammary gland, under the chest muscle or behind the chest wall to achieve the desired results.

Fat Transfer – This procedure is a natural alternative to implants and involves enhancement using the patient’s own fat. Liposuction is performed to remove fat from areas such as the stomach, thighs, or waist. The extracted fat is processed, purified and injected into the breasts. This technique is popular for the more natural looking, permanent results that it offers. It also reduces risks of rejection since no foreign materials are introduced into the body.

Composite Breast Augmentation - This procedure combines fat grafting with implants and provides improved volume and cleavage along with a natural look and feel. After inserting the implants under the muscle, the autologous fat is injected over the implant to result for a more natural looking outcome.

Your Consultation

At your consultation, the surgeon will evaluate your goals, including why you want to have breast implants. It’s crucial that you find out as much as you can about the procedure, and consider everything from the potential benefits to the financial costs and health risks before you make your decision.

During the pre-surgical consultation process, leading plastic surgeons use 3D imaging technologies like Axis Three 3D and VECTRA 3D. These platforms help patients visualize the outcome and compare the image of their body from various angles before and after the procedure, allowing them to work with the surgeon to achieve the best outcome.
