Breast Augmentation

 

Breast Implant Surgery

Breast augmentation is the most desired plastic surgery procedure performed annually in the United States. This procedure can be used to increase the size of naturally small breasts, restore volume lost due to pregnancy or weight loss, improve breast shape, or reconstruct breasts after mastectomy. Breast implants come in various shapes, sizes, and types, including saline-filled and silicone-filled implants. The choice of implant and surgical technique is tailored to each patient's specific needs and desired outcome. Having breasts that are too small for your frame or otherwise out of proportion with the rest of your body may make patients feel self-conscious. Through careful planning and precise surgical techniques, our breast augmentation surgeon can help create the breasts you have always dreamed of. Breast implant surgery can achieve natural-looking breasts, with an appropriate size, shape, and feel that fits harmoniously with your overall frame and body type. Dr. Killingsworth and his plastic surgery team offer breast augmentation to patients who want larger, fuller-looking breasts.

In some cases, we may recommend additional cosmetic procedures to improve your overall results.

What Are My Breast Augmentation Options?

Today’s breast implants are made from either saline or silicone. Both implant types are approved as safe to use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and each breast implant option offers its own advantages. During your consultation, Dr. Killingsworth and his plastic surgery team can help you decide which type of breast implant is right for you.

  • Saline Breast Implants:

    Saline-filled implants are made of a silicone outer shell. They are made of a saltwater solution that is easily absorbed by the body in case of an implant rupture. Saline breast implants are filled after undergoing the implant placement, so they require a smaller incision. Saline-filled implants are slightly firmer, so they do have a greater chance of rippling.

  • Silicone Breast Implants:

    Silicone breast implants are composed of a silicone outer shell filled with a thick, silicone gel. This type of implant is known for its natural appearance and feel, and there is less chance of visible rippling – although they do require a larger incision. Today’s silicone breast implants are safer and more natural-looking.

  • WHAT TO EXPECT FROM BREAST AUGMENTATION

Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast Augmentation Procedure

Breast augmentation surgery typically lasts one to two hours depending on the extent of the surgery. One of the most important operative decisions of breast augmentation is the forming of the implant pockets where your plastic surgeon will create space for your breast implants to be inserted. These pockets are the foundation for your new breasts and achieving proper structure requires a small release of the chest muscle.

After the incision is made, your breast implants will be inserted and this placement will determine the way the breasts will project themselves after your breast augmentation surgery. Placing the breast implant above the muscle (sub-glandular) can produce a more rounded, fuller look that many women choose even though it may not look as natural. Placing the implant underneath the chest wall muscle (sub-muscular) is more common and can achieve a natural, shaped look. After the implants have been inserted and positioned, the incisions will be stitched closed, taped, and bandaged. Within a few days, the bandages will be replaced with a surgical bra.
