Breast Augmentation
Breast Augmentation at HOPE Women’s Hospital
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. At HOPE Women’s Hospital, our board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in breast augmentation procedures to help women achieve their desired breast appearance with natural-looking results.Understanding Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic procedure sought by women who wish to:
- Increase Breast Size: Enhance breast size and fullness for a more proportionate and balanced figure.
- Improve Breast Shape: Address concerns such as asymmetry, drooping, or lack of upper breast fullness.
- Restore Breast Volume: Restore breast volume lost due to weight loss, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or aging.
- Enhance Confidence: Boost self-confidence and body image by achieving desired breast aesthetics.
The Breast Augmentation Procedure
During a breast augmentation procedure at HOPE Women’s Hospital:
- Consultation: Patients undergo a comprehensive consultation with our plastic surgeons to discuss their goals, medical history, breast anatomy, implant options, and expected outcomes.
- Treatment Plan: Based on the consultation and evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is developed, outlining the surgical approach, implant type, size, and placement.
- Surgical Procedure: Breast augmentation surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes incisions in inconspicuous locations (such as the breast crease, areola, or underarm) to create pockets for the breast implants.
- Implant Placement: Breast implants may be placed either behind the breast tissue (subglandular) or behind the chest muscle (submuscular), depending on factors such as tissue thickness, implant size, and desired outcome.
- Implant Options: Patients can choose from saline implants, silicone implants, or structured implants (such as IDEAL IMPLANTยฎ) based on their preferences and the surgeon’s recommendations.
- Closure and Recovery: After placing the implants and ensuring optimal position and symmetry, the incisions are closed with sutures. Patients receive post-operative care instructions, pain management guidelines, and follow-up appointments to monitor healing and assess results.
