Breast AugmentationBreast enlargement, or augmentation mammoplasty, enhances the body contour of a woman who is unhappy with her breast size. It may also be used to correct volume loss after pregnancy, or to help balance breast size asymmetries, as well as a reconstructive technique following other breast surgery. Breast augmentation is performed in the comfort, privacy and safety of our state of the art Level 2 office based surgery facility, registered with the Florida Board of Medicine.
An implant (prosthesis) may be placed under the breast tissue or under the muscle. The incision can be made under the breast, around the nipple or in the armpit. It generally takes one or two hours to complete the entire procedure. A breast implant is either composed of an outer silicone shell filled with saline (salt water) or silicone gel, recently re-approved for use by the FDA.The outer surface may be smooth or textured, and implants come in various shapes to meet the individual womans needs.
While breast augmentation will enlarge your breasts, it will not alter basic defects in breast shape or form. Major asymmetries may be improved but will not be completely corrected. A slight difference in size or shape of the two breasts is considered normal and should not be a cause for concern. If breast size or nipple position asymmetries are severe then additional procedures to further improve symmetries may be necessary. Long experience with this operation has demonstrated it to have highly satisfactory results for the majority of women who are considered suitable candidates for the surgery.
