Breast Augmentation in Memphis

Overview of Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation with implants can enhance the size and shape of women's breasts to better complement their body shape. This procedure is ideal for women who have experienced a decrease in breast volume due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss. It can also benefit those who have naturally smaller breasts or asymmetrical breast sizes.

Dr. Melissa Kath offers both saline and silicone gel implants, with each type having its own unique benefits. During your consultation, Dr. Kath will help determine which implant type and size is best suited for your body and aesthetic goals.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation

• Increased breast size and volume
• Improved breast shape and symmetry
• Enhanced body proportions
• Restored volume after pregnancy or weight loss
• Increased confidence in appearance

The Procedure

Breast augmentation surgery typically takes 1-2 hours to complete under general anesthesia. Dr. Kath will make discreet incisions to insert and position the breast implants. The procedure may be combined with a breast lift (mastopexy) for patients who need additional reshaping.

Recovery

Most patients can return to work and normal activities within 1-2 weeks after breast augmentation surgery. Dr. Kath will provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing and optimal results.

Long-Term Results

While breast implants are not permanent devices, most women are able to keep their implants for many years. Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Kath will help monitor the condition of your implants over time.
