Breast Implants in Glastonbury, Connecticut | Harold E. Beam, MD

Understanding Breast Implant Surgery

Breast implant surgery is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and appearance of the breasts. Dr. Beam offers comprehensive breast augmentation services for patients in Glastonbury, Hartford, New Britain, and surrounding Connecticut areas.

What Are Breast Implants?

Breast implants are medical devices surgically placed to improve breast size and contour. Typically consisting of saline or silicone pouches, these implants can dramatically transform a patient's physique and self-confidence.

Benefits of Breast Implant Surgery

• Improves breast size and shape
• Enhances personal confidence
• Restores breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss
• Balances overall body proportions
• Provides reconstructive options post-mastectomy

Implant Types: Silicone vs Saline

Dr. Beam specializes in two primary implant types, each with unique advantages:

• Saline Implants: FDA-approved, safely absorbed by the body if ruptured
• Silicone Implants: More natural look and feel, less prone to rippling

Surgical Considerations

Dr. Beam carefully evaluates each patient to determine optimal implant placement, which typically involves positioning beneath chest wall muscles for a more natural appearance.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect a recovery period of approximately two to three days, with gradual return to normal activities. Post-surgical care instructions are provided to ensure optimal healing and results.

Implant Longevity

While breast implants do not technically "expire", the FDA recommends periodic check-ups every 10 years to ensure continued safety and performance.
