Breast Augmentation

What kind of outcome is typical for breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation usually changes the size and shape of your breasts and can improve your body image. Breast implants are not designed to last a lifetime, however, so they may need to be replaced. Today’s implants typically last more than a decade.

What are the alternatives to breast augmentation?

You can tone your pectoral muscles with exercise, giving your breasts a natural lift. You can also get a new, push-up bra. Other nonsurgical options include Botox injections and dermal fillers; laser treatments; Thermage, which uses radio waves to tighten your breast; Aptos threading, which uses minimally invasive threads inserted into the soft tissue and pulled tight to create a lift; Caci bust treatment, which uses electric pulses to tone chest the muscles, and more. 

What are the possible side effects of intravenous sedation?

What are possible side effects and complications of a breast augmentation?

Some of the possible side effects and complications of breast augmentation surgery include infection; bleeding; anesthesia risks; temporary or permanent changes in nipple or breast sensation; scarring on the breast; implant leakage or rupture; the formation of scar tissue around the implant; wrong positioning of the implant; fluid accumulation; wrinkling of the skin over the implant; persistent pain; development of implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, an uncommon cancer of the immune system; development of breast implant illness that includes fatigue and memory loss, rash, and joint pain; and the need for possible reversal surgery.

How safe is breast augmentation surgery?

Both saline and silicone breast implants are FDA approved and considered safe for breast augmentation procedures. Still, the decision to have breast augmentation surgery is personal, so you will have to weigh the benefits with the risks.

How do I know if a breast augmentation is right for me?

Do I have options for anesthesia for breast augmentation surgery?

Sometimes general anesthesia is used for breast augmentation surgery, but sedation and local anesthesia can be used, too.

What issue does a breast augmentation solve?

Breast augmentation may be a good option if you’re concerned that your breasts are too small; you’re bothered with your breasts losing shape after weight loss, pregnancy, or with aging; or your breasts are asymmetrical.

How is a breast augmentation done?

When you undergo breast augmentation, your surgeon will make an inconspicuous incision in each breast. Typically, incisions will be made around your nipples, in the fold under your breasts, or under your arms. Then the surgeon will separate your breast tissue and place the implants behind your nipples. Once the implants are placed, your incisions are closed. 

Before your procedure, there will be several augmentation options for you and your surgeon to choose from.

Implant options 

• Silicone implants, which are filled with silicone gel 
• Form-stable implants, which are filled with a thicker silicone gel, making them firmer than traditional silicone implants
• Saline implants, which are filled with sterile salt water 
• Round implants, which can be filled with either saline or silicone and have a tendency to make breasts appear fuller 

Texture options 

• Smooth breast implants, which are soft and can move with the breast implant pocket
• Textured breast implants, which are less likely to move around inside of the breast 
• Fat grafting, which uses liposuction to take fat from other parts of your body and inject it into your breasts (a good choice for women who are looking for more natural results)

Why might I have to wait to schedule a breast augmentation?

In some cases it takes time for a patient’s body to be ready for surgery. For example, if you have another medical issue including another surgical procedure or an illness, we might wait to schedule surgery. Your health and safety are our top priorities, so we schedule surgeries when they’re best for our patients. If you smoke, it may be necessary for you to stop smoking and wait for a period of time before your procedure, as smoking can impede the healing process.

Prior to your procedure, you may be asked to get lab tests, a medical evaluation, or a baseline mammogram.
