Breast Augmentation Before and After

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves the placement of implants or fat transfer to increase the breast size and improve the shape of the breasts. It is also known as augmentation mammoplasty. The breast augmentation procedure is typically performed on women who are dissatisfied with the breast size, shape, or symmetry of their breasts.

Breast augmentation can be achieved through the use of implants, which are silicone or saline-filled sacs that are placed either behind the natural breast tissue or under the chest muscle. The breast size and shape of the implants can vary, allowing women to customize their results to meet their desired aesthetic goals.

In some cases, a combination of implants and fat transfer may be used to achieve the desired results.

Breast Implant Options

Every  patient is unique, from the texture and quality of their skin to their muscle tone and build. The popularity of breast implant has led to a wide variety of options and techniques. Some of these options are chosen by default based on the unique qualities of the patient – from skin texture and quality to muscle tone and build.

Others require the patient, with guidance from Dr. Raj, to make choices in pursuit of the best result. The 6 major options for breast implants are:

Breast Implant Surface

Breast implants can be textured or smooth. While textured implants were designed around maintaining their position and reducing rippling in the skin, in practice they have been shown to be more likely to ripple than smooth implants due to their lack of mobility.

Smooth breast implants on the other hand move more freely beneath the skin. This leads to fewer intrinsic risks and potential negative outcomes, and to many patients can feel much more like what they expect natural breasts to feel like than textured implants. Smooth implants are also less likely to cause rippling under the skin.

Breast Implant Shapes

The two most common shapes are round and teardrop shaped.

Various studies have shown that the shape of the implant alone is not a good indicator for the final result. The eventual shape is mostly determined by the plane (subpectoral or subglandular) and position of the implant placement.

Breast Implant Placement

Breast implants under the muscle (subglandular pocket) or beneath the pectoralis major muscle (subpectoral pocket).
Subglandular placement is technically less demanding and results in less post-operative pain but there is a greater risk of skin rippling or the development of scar tissue around the implant which can lead to the breast and implant feeling hard to the touch, as well as changing the shape or appearance in undesirable ways.

Placement in a subpectoral or submuscular pocket has more potential for pain and discomfort in the early stages, but as a tradeoff provides a natural, longer-lasting shape with a significantly lower risk of rippling or stiffening. As with any cosmetic surgery, there are risks – the one most frequently associated with submuscular implantation is displacement of the implant via a muscular contraction, which is why this method may not be recommended for athletes and those who weight train.

Types of Breast Implants: Silicone Breast Implants Vs. Saline Breast Implants

Most breast implants fall into one of two general categories, saline or silicone, with some variations on the theme. Implants are available in several different profiles including low profile, moderate profile, moderate plus profile, high profile, and ultra-high profile.

The Breast Enlargement Consultation

During the initial breast augmentation consultation in Dallas patients will meet with Dr. Raj and his staff, and a thorough medical history and physical will be conducted to ensure that the patient might safely undergo plastic surgery. Dr. Raj and the patient will then discuss desired outcomes and look at any reference materials which the patient has brought to gain a thorough understanding of what the patient is trying to achieve with cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Raj will then utilize imaging technology and examine the patient to determine which options are available and if the patient is a candidate for breast implants.

The findings of these measurements and examinations can help Dr. Raj to determine a range of implant sizes and types which might work. The patient is then given an opportunity to evaluate those sizes in a breast sizing kit to determine which of the options is closest to their desired result. By the end of the initial Dallas consultation the patient should have their questions about the breast augmentation procedure answered and Dr. Raj will design an individualized surgical plan.

Risks and Possible Complications

All surgeries carry some risk. The most common breast augmentation risks are:

• bleeding, infection, and reactions to anesthesia
• breast augmentation scars.
• loss of sensation in the nipple or breast,
• capsular contracture (hard capsule or scar tissue around implant),
• implant rupture or leakage, and implant malposition.

Some complications may lead to requiring breast revision surgery.

Breast Augmentation Cost Dallas

Plastic surgery costs can be difficult to predict as every patient’s situation is unique. While one patient may simply want a standard augmentation with silicone implants, another patient may require an augmentation that includes an additional breast lift to achieve their goals. Other patients wish to combine breast augmentation with a tummy tuck, liposuction or get a mommy makeover that includes implants.
