Is Breast Augmentation for You?
Breast augmentation surgery is highly customizable, making it a great choice for many patients who want to enhance the size and shape of their breasts. When deciding if breast augmentation surgery is right for you, it is important to understand your options, what kind of results you can expect, and what the procedure entails.
Ultimately, you will need to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Anoush Hadaegh who has the knowledge and expertise to evaluate your needs and design a safe, effective treatment plan for achieving your cosmetic goals.
Breast Augmentation Surgery Options
At Aesthetic Plastic Surgery North Shore, breast augmentation surgery options include natural breast augmentation and breast augmentation with implants. Your desired breast contours, body type, treatment preferences, and other factors will be considered to determine which of the following techniques is best for you:
- Breast augmentation with implants – This procedure involves making incisions in the underarm area, along the breast crease, or around the nipple to allow for the insertion of silicone or saline breast implants.
- Fat transfer breast augmentation – Natural breast augmentation surgery begins with liposuction to remove unwanted body fat from another area of your body, such as the thighs, abdomen, or upper arms. The extracted fat will then be purified and injected strategically to add volume to the breasts.
- Mini breast augmentation – Mini breast augmentation involves the placement of small breast implants to provide subtle, yet noticeable and natural-looking breast enhancement. This option is often ideal for women who are athletic and/or have a petite frame.
What Kind of Results Are Possible with Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation may be right for you if your aesthetic goals include one or more of the following:
- Larger, fuller breasts
- Rounder breasts
- More symmetrical breasts
- More pronounced cleavage
- Replacing breast volume that was lost due to pregnancy or weight loss
Dr. Hadaegh uses actual sizers to help patients visualize their breast augmentation results before undergoing surgery. You will be advised to bring a bra that you would like to wear in the future, along with a tight-fitting shirt, to your consultation. You can then “try on” different breast sizes using state-of-the art sizers, so you can choose a look you love and feel confident about your selection going into your procedure.
Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
Dr. Hadaegh will assess your eligibility for breast augmentation surgery during your consultation. To ensure that breast augmentation is a safe, suitable option for you, he will:
- Speak with you in-depth about your overall cosmetic goals and expectations for breast augmentation surgery
- Review your medical and surgical history
- Perform a physical examination of the breast area
He will also ask you about relevant lifestyle factors. For example, smoking increases the risk of surgical complications, so ideal candidates are non-smokers.
Additionally, women who plan to become pregnant will be advised to postpone breast augmentation surgery until their family is complete. This is because pregnancy and breastfeeding can significantly change the breast contours, which could create the need for a revision procedure.
