What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation surgery is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the breasts using implants. Breast augmentation aims to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the breasts, helping individuals achieve their desired body image. Whether you’re seeking to increase your breast size, correct asymmetry, or restore volume lost due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss, breast augmentation can help you achieve a more proportionate and youthful appearance.

Breast Augmentation Benefits

Breast augmentation offers numerous benefits that can enhance both your physical appearance and overall confidence:

  • Increased breast size: Achieve fuller, more voluptuous breasts that complement your body’s natural contours through breast enlargement.
  • Enhanced shape and symmetry: Improve the shape of your breasts and correct asymmetry for a more balanced appearance.
  • Restored volume: Reclaim the fullness that may have been lost due to life changes such as pregnancy or weight loss.
  • Boosted self-confidence: Feel more comfortable and confident in your appearance, both in and out of clothing.

Breast Augmentation after Mastectomy

For women who have undergone a mastectomy, breast augmentation provides an opportunity to restore the feminine shape and confidence that may have been affected by surgery. Dr. Passaretti is highly skilled in breast reconstruction and offers both immediate and delayed reconstruction options. He will work closely with you to create a plan that aligns with your personal preferences and aesthetic goals, ensuring a natural and beautiful outcome.

Am I a Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation surgery is ideal for women who wish to enhance their breast size and shape. Suitable candidates are generally in good health, have realistic expectations, and are seeking to improve their body contours. You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation if you:

  • Desire larger or fuller breasts
  • Have uneven or asymmetrical breasts
  • Have lost breast volume due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss
  • Want to improve the balance of your body’s proportions

What Issues Does Breast Augmentation Address?

Breast augmentation can address several aesthetic concerns, including:

  • Size: Increase the size of naturally small breasts or restore volume lost due to aging or other factors.
  • Shape: Enhance the shape of your breasts, creating a rounder and more youthful appearance. A breast lift, on the other hand, focuses on correcting sagging breasts and can be combined with breast augmentation for enhanced aesthetic results.
  • Symmetry: Correct uneven or asymmetrical breasts to achieve a more balanced and harmonious look.

Breast Implant Incisions

Dr. Passaretti offers several incision options for breast implant surgery to suit your individual needs:

  • Inframammary: Made along the crease under the breast, this incision offers excellent access for implant placement and typically results in a well-hidden scar.
  • Periareolar: Placed around the edge of the areola, this incision allows for discreet scarring and can be a good option for certain patients.
  • Transaxillary: Made in the armpit, this incision leaves no visible scar on the breast itself and is often chosen by patients seeking a scarless look on the breast.
  • Transumbilical: This incision is made at the navel, allowing the implant to be placed through the belly button with no visible scars on the breast.

Breast Implant Placement

Implants can be placed in one of two positions, depending on your anatomy and desired results:

  • Submuscular (under the muscle): The implant is placed beneath the chest muscle, which can provide a more natural look and reduce the risk of visible implant edges.
  • Subglandular (above the muscle): The implant is placed above the chest muscle but beneath the breast tissue, offering a quicker recovery and less postoperative discomfort.

Saline implants, filled with a sterile salt solution, offer distinct characteristics such as immediate recognition of deflation and the ability to achieve a firm feel similar to silicone implants. They provide various options for patients depending on their individual needs and preferences.

Saline breast implants, filled with a sterile salt solution, are an option to consider alongside silicone implants, which use a cohesive gel. The choice between saline and silicone implants can impact the final results, and the surgeon’s skill is crucial in achieving the desired outcome.

Consultation and Preparation

Your journey to breast augmentation begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Passaretti, a qualified plastic surgery professional. During this meeting, you’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, and any concerns you may have. Dr. Passaretti will guide you through your options for implant type, size, incision location, and placement, ensuring that your results align with your vision. He will also provide you with detailed instructions on how to prepare for your surgery, including any necessary medical evaluations and lifestyle adjustments.

Your Breast Augmentation Procedure

On the day of your procedure, Dr. Passaretti and his team will ensure your comfort and safety every step of the way. Silicone breast implants are often chosen for their natural feel, consistency, and lower rates of complications like capsular contracture. Breast augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia and usually takes about one to two hours. Dr. Passaretti will make the agreed-upon incision, create a pocket for the implant, and carefully place the implant to achieve your desired look. After the implants are in place, the incisions are closed with sutures, and you’ll be fitted with a supportive surgical bra to aid in your recovery.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

After your breast augmentation, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which will gradually subside over the following weeks. Silicone gel implants are often chosen for their natural feel, stable form, and reduced likelihood of visibility under the skin, making them a preferred option for many patients. Dr. Passaretti will provide you with comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Most patients can return to light activities within a week and resume normal activities within a few weeks. Full results typically become visible after the swelling has fully subsided, revealing a beautifully enhanced bustline.

Healing Timeline:

  • First few days: Rest and limit physical activity; wear a surgical bra as directed.
  • 1 week: Return to light activities; continue wearing a supportive bra.
  • 2-3 weeks: Gradually resume more strenuous activities as advised.
  • 6 weeks: Most swelling should have subsided, and you can enjoy the full results of your surgery.

Whether due to changes in personal preference, aging, or complications such as capsular contracture, Dr. Passaretti offers breast implant revision surgery to help you achieve the look you desire. He will work with you to determine the best course of action based on your current condition and goals.
