Breast Augmentation Alexandria, VA | Dr. Alexander M. Sailon, MD

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a personalized surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size, shape, and symmetry. At Dr. Alexander M. Sailon's practice, the focus is on achieving natural, proportionate results that align with each patient's unique body and aesthetic goals.

Types of Breast Implants

Selecting the right breast implant is a nuanced process involving multiple critical considerations:

• Implant Material: Silicone vs. Saline
• Implant Shape: Round or Anatomical
• Implant Profile: Projection and Volume
• Implant Texture: Smooth or Textured

Silicone vs. Saline Implants

For most patients, highly cohesive silicone implants offer superior results. These "gummy bear" implants maintain a natural feel, minimize skin rippling, and potentially provide greater longevity compared to traditional saline options.

Surgical Approach in Alexandria, VA

Dr. Sailon's breast augmentation procedure involves careful surgical techniques tailored to individual anatomy. Potential incision locations include inframammary (under the breast), periareolar (around the nipple), and transaxillary (in the armpit).

Implant Placement Techniques

Implants can be positioned either subglandularly (over the muscle) or submuscularly (under the muscle). The submuscular placement often provides advantages such as:

• Additional soft tissue coverage
• Decreased capsular contracture risk
• Improved mammogram interpretation

Recovery and Results

Most patients can resume normal daily activities within a week, with full recovery occurring over several weeks. Swelling and bruising typically resolve within two weeks, with implants settling into a natural position over two months.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Augmentation

Candidates for breast enhancement include individuals seeking to:

• Balance body proportions
• Restore breast volume after pregnancy or weight changes
• Correct breast asymmetry
• Enhance self-confidence
