Breast Enhancement - Achieve Your Aesthetic Goals

Beautiful, full breasts are considered the ultimate symbol of femininity. Women with small or uneven breasts can now achieve fuller, more proportioned, attractive breasts through a breast enhancement procedure. This is a unique procedure which increases the projection of the breasts, thereby providing an improved bust line. Aging, pregnancy, weight loss and breast feeding can radically change the shape and appearance of the breasts. In such cases, breast enhancement surgery can also help to increase the breast size, to achieve your aesthetic goals.

Customized Breast Enhancement to Meet Your Aesthetic Expectations

Breast enhancement can be customized to meet each patient’s aesthetic requirements and expectations. Skilled plastic surgeons can provide the surgery in such a way that the enhanced breasts ideally complement your body, allowing you to wear your choice of clothes. Sometimes, breast augmentation is done along with other cosmetic surgery procedures such as breast lift or liposuction for improved results.

How Is Breast Enhancement Done?

Breast enhancement is done using implants such as saline and silicone/memory gel implants. Women can choose the ideal size, shape, texture and profile of these implants, which would ensure the best aesthetic results.

Saline implants - Implants are inflated after they are inserted into the body and are filled with sterile salt water (saline). FDA approved saline implants have been used for many years and provide excellent aesthetic results.

Silicone/ Memory Gel implants - The new silicone gel implants or Memory Gel implants, feel softer than saline implants. Memory Gel implants are generally the best choice for patients with very little breast tissue and subcutaneous fat.

Through incisions, the implants are placed underneath the muscle (submuscular) rather than immediately underneath the breast tissue (subglandular). The procedure itself takes approximately 1-2 hours and can be performed in fully accredited on site surgical suites under general anesthesia. In some cases, the procedure may be performed under local anesthesia with sedation.

Achieve the Look You Have Always Desired

Every woman has desires that are unique to her, and an experienced plastic surgeon would carefully consider these when providing breast enhancement. When deciding on your plastic surgeon, find out whether he/she is board certified and has sufficient experience in the field. To achieve your aesthetic goals, all relevant details regarding breast enhancement must be discussed with your chosen surgeon.

Breast Augmentation Surgery to Increase Breast Size

Pregnancy, breast feeding, and weight loss can all cause changes in your breast size and shape. Women who have small/underdeveloped breasts, and those that have lost breast volume after pregnancy and breast feeding can consider breast augmentation surgery. As the name suggests, it is the best option for improving breast size and attaining a more attractive contour.

Saline and silicone gel breast implants have their own individual advantages.

Saline implants - The saline implants have been used for many years and many women have had saline implants with excellent results. Implants are inflated after they are inserted into the body and are filled with sterile salt water (saline).

The incision placement, implant position, and implant type may vary from person to person. Many factors are to be considered to determine which placement is best for you. For providing more coverage over the implant, the implants are inserted underneath the muscle (submuscular) rather than immediately underneath the breast tissue (subglandular). These factors can also determine where the necessary incisions will be made. Breast implants can be placed through one of four incisions: in the crease under the breast, through the areola (at the border of the colored part around the nipple), through the belly button, or through the armpit.

Breast Augmentation is done using saline or memory gel implants that give a balanced size, shape and form to the breasts. The FDA has approved the use of both implants after studies had proved that they are safe and cause no serious complications.

Innovative Surgery for Attaining Symmetrical Breasts

In almost all cases, the goal is to make the distinctly smaller breast proportionate to the larger one. The breast implant is surgically inserted behind the small breast underneath the muscle (submuscular) rather than immediately underneath the breast tissue (subglandular). This would bring about a more natural, softer breast and provide more coverage over the implant.

Implants are placed through one of four incisions: in the crease under the breast, through the areola (at the border of the colored part around the nipple), through the belly button, or through the armpit.

Breast Reduction - Delaware

Thousands of women suffer with chronic back, shoulder, and neck pain due to the large size of their breasts. Other problems that can occur with large breasts include shoulder grooving from bra straps, moisture and infection underneath the breasts, and the breasts themselves can be painful and uncomfortable. In addition, it can often be very difficult for these women to find the right bra or fit comfortably into clothing because of their large breast size. For women dealing with these problems, breast reduction surgery can be the solution.

At its core, breast reduction surgery aims to make large breasts smaller. The surgery itself, however, has many benefits that are very appealing. The procedure reshapes the breasts to give them a more pleasing shape and appearance. In addition, large heavy breasts often sag and the nipples often point downward. Breast reduction surgery lifts the breasts to reposition the nipple areola complex as well as the breast tissue to a higher and more natural level. Large breasts often have large areolas and breast reduction surgery can reduce the areolas and make them more proportional to the overall size of the breasts. Another benefit of the procedure is that liposuction can also be performed on the sides of the breasts under the arms to remove any excess breast tissue in this area that can often overhang the top of the bra on the sides and interfere with the ability to wear sleeveless clothing.

While there are many cosmetic and aesthetic benefits to breast reduction, the physical benefits can be even more dramatic. The physical pain and suffering that women who have large breasts have to deal with can prevent them from doing many of the physical activities that they enjoy. In fact, the pain can be significant enough to interfere with even the simplest task in their daily lives. To have relief from this chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain through breast reduction surgery can be life changing. Many of my breast reduction patients tell me that after undergoing the procedure, they are finally pain free for the first time in their lives.

The satisfaction rate for breast reduction surgery equals or surpasses that for any other cosmetic surgery that I perform. The procedure provides physical benefits as well as cosmetic benefits and can greatly improve overall quality of life for years to come.
