Breast Augmentation
Augmentation Mammoplasty – Saline and Silicone
Breast enlargement may improve self-image, boost confidence and create greater personal comfort in clothing and swimwear. It can create fullness which was never present or restore fullness lost following pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss.
Other issues, such as breast asymmetry or misshapen breasts, may also be addressed with the use of breast implants. The procedure may be combined with mastopexy or breast uplifting, if needed, to maximize the improvement of breast contour.
Nipple inversion may also be a cosmetic concern. After ruling out any underlying cause, the inversion can be corrected at the time of augmentation or other breast procedure.
The surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis under a general anesthetic and takes about 60 to 90 minutes. Saline or silicone gel implants are placed, usually under the chest wall muscle, to provide a more natural appearing result. Approaches include small incisions under the breast or around the lower rim of the areola. Each implant type and surgical approach has its own advantages and Dr. Wisnicki will discuss these with you as it pertains to your individual situation.
Most women are back at work doing non-strenuous activity within one week. Initial swelling and breast tightness subsides on an ongoing basis over the first several weeks to months.
