These
procedures can increase the size of the breast with saline
or silicone implants or decrease the size of the breast
with reduction surgery. Breast lifts are performed with
or without implants to correct the appearance of drooping
breasts, a condition that may occur after pregnancy or with
age.
Breast
Augmentation can enhance your appearance and help build
your self-confidence and self esteem. The best candidates
for breast augmentation are:
-Women,
who are looking for improvement in their figure,
are bothered by their feelings that their breasts
are too small.
-Women
who have small breasts or loss of breast volume
following breast-feeding are typically good candidates
for breast augmentation.
-Woman whose breasts have become smaller and lost
their firmness after having children,
-One
breast is noticeably smaller than the other
-Weight
loss has changed the shape and or size of your breast
- You should be in good physical condition and have
realistic expectations to be a good candidate for
the procedure.

A
breast implant is a silicone shell filled with a saltwater
solution known as saline. If the implant leaks the saline
is absorbed into the body the same as if the saline were
given as an IV fluid. The method of inserting and positioning
an implant is dependent upon factors based on the patient's
anatomy that are discussed with Your Doctor at the time
of the consultation.
The incision can be placed in a number of different locations
and every effort is made by Your Doctor to assure that the
incision is placed so the resulting scars will be as inconspicuous
as possible. After the incision is made, a pocket is created
either under the breast tissue or under the pectoralis muscle.
This pocket is made just large enough to accommodate the
implant. The implant is then positioned to give the best
cosmetic result. Following surgery, detailed instructions
are given to the patient as to postoperative care and activity.
All information regarding implants is discussed with the
patient at the time of surgery.
