Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures, with over 200,000 women choosing to enhance their breasts each year. At Dr. Thomas E. Vaughan's practice in Maine, patients can receive expert breast augmentation surgery to achieve their desired look.

Why Consider Breast Augmentation?

There are many personal reasons to consider breast augmentation, including:

• Increasing breast size for better body proportions
• Restoring breast volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss
• Correcting breast asymmetry
• Improving self-confidence

Breast Implant Options

Saline vs. Silicone Implants

Dr. Vaughan offers both saline and silicone gel implants. Each type has its own benefits:

• Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater solution
• Silicone gel implants have a more natural feel
• Both have a silicone outer shell

Implant Placement

Implants can be placed either under or over the chest muscle. Dr. Vaughan will recommend the best placement based on your anatomy and goals.

The Breast Augmentation Procedure

Breast augmentation surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 1-2 hours. Dr. Vaughan makes discreet incisions to minimize visible scarring. Common incision locations include:

• Inframammary (under the breast)
• Periareolar (around the nipple)
• Transaxillary (in the armpit)

Recovery and Results

Most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks after surgery. Full recovery may take up to a month. Results are long-lasting but not necessarily permanent. Dr. Vaughan recommends periodic follow-up appointments to monitor your implants.
