A full, perky breast appearance is often a source of confidence for women. Unfortunately, many factors can influence the size, shape, and position of the breasts. If you are interested in regaining fuller breasts, you may benefit from breast augmentation at Northwest Plastic Surgery. Here, Dr. Dumanian uses this procedure to safely increase the size of the breasts and improve their overall appearance.
How The Breasts Change Over Time
As time progresses, many women notice changes in the breast. Pregnancy can cause the breasts to become enlarged, while breastfeeding can result in a significant loss of volume. Weight fluctuations can leave behind sagging skin and stretch marks. Additionally, age and genetics can influence the quality of skin on the breasts. While these factors are a natural part of life, you do not have to live with their effects.
How Can Breast Augmentation Help?
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the size of the breasts for a more voluminous and proportionate appearance. This procedure can be performed alone or as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, such as a mommy makeover. Breast augmentation is a highly personalized treatment, which makes it an ideal choice for those who are interested in restoring their breasts to a previous size. This procedure improves physical appearance while also boosting confidence.
Choosing Your Breast Implants
Those considering breast implants will need to decide on the implants they want. There are several implant types offered at Northwest Plastic Surgery, including:
Saline: Saline implants are a popular choice among breast augmentation patients. These implants are filled with saltwater. In cases of implant rupture, this sterile solution is safely reabsorbed by the body.
Silicone: The shell of this type of implant is filled with silicone gel, which is similar to the feel of natural breast tissue.
Gummy bear: These tear-drop-shaped implants mimic the natural contour of the breasts. Gummy bear implants are thicker than other implant types, allowing them to maintain their shape.
Breast Augmentation Surgery
Breast augmentation surgery can be performed in several ways. Dr. Dumanian will approach your surgery using the most appropriate technique based on your anatomy, surgical needs, and desired outcome. Generally, an incision will be made in the treatment area and a pocket will be made in the breast tissue to make room for the implant. The implant is then skillfully positioned to provide a natural contour. A compression garment may be placed to give your breasts support and minimize swelling as you enter your recovery phase. Patients can expect the procedure to last 60 to 90 minutes.
