Why Choose Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to help women achieve their desired breast appearance. Patients typically consider this surgery for various personal reasons:
- Increase the size of naturally small breasts
- Replace volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss
- Create a perkier breast appearance
- Balance breasts of different sizes
- Enhance overall body proportions and cleavage
Breast Implant Options
Implant Material
Dr. Ablavsky offers two primary implant materials: saline and silicone gel. Each option provides unique benefits. Silicone implants are more popular due to their natural look and feel, while saline implants offer smaller incisions during insertion.
Implant Size and Profile
Selecting the right implant involves careful consideration of body proportions. Implant sizes are measured in cubic centimeters (cc), with approximately 130-150cc representing one bra cup size. The implant profile determines how far the implant projects from the chest wall.
Surgical Technique
Dr. Ablavsky typically uses an inframammary incision, positioned at the base of the breast. This technique allows for precise implant placement and minimal scarring. Implants can be positioned subglandularly, submuscularly, or using a dual-plane method.
Recovery and Expectations
Recovery time varies but typically involves one week off work for non-strenuous jobs. Patients can expect some swelling and bruising, which peaks within the first week. Dr. Ablavsky provides comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing.
