Breast Augmentation in Bryn Mawr, OR | Lohner Plastic Surgery

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation, also known as Augmentation Mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast volume, form, and symmetry. Using either saline or silicone implants, this procedure can dramatically improve the shape and size of the chest.

Top Reasons for Breast Augmentation

• Small or misshapen breasts
• Asymmetrical breast sizes
• Volume loss after childbirth or weight loss
• Decreased chest volume due to aging
• Improving body proportions and self-confidence

Implant Options and Placement

Saline vs. Silicone Implants

Patients can choose between saline and silicone implants, each offering unique benefits. Saline implants provide a firm feel and require smaller incisions, while silicone implants offer a more natural look and feel.

Implant Placement Techniques

Implants can be placed submuscularly (under the muscle) or subglandularly (over the muscle), each method offering distinct advantages depending on the patient's anatomy and aesthetic goals.

The Breast Augmentation Procedure

The surgical procedure typically takes one to one and a half hours under general anesthesia. Dr. Lohner will make precise incisions and carefully place the selected implants to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.

Recovery and Healing

Recovery from breast augmentation generally takes five to seven days. Patients can typically return to work within a few days, with full recovery and final results visible after two to three months.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While breast augmentation is considered safe, potential risks include bleeding, delayed wound healing, and rare instances of implant complications. Choosing a board-certified surgeon like Dr. Lohner minimizes these risks.

Consultation and Preparation

A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Lohner will help determine the most suitable implant type, size, and placement technique for each individual patient's body and aesthetic goals.
