Breast Augmentation in Bryn Mawr, PA | Main Line Plastic Surgery

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the size and shape of a woman's breasts. Performed by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Raymond Jean, this transformative surgery can be accomplished through saline or silicone gel implants, or natural fat transfer techniques.

Breast Implant Options

Saline Breast Implants

• Consists of a silicone shell filled with sterile saltwater
• Inserted empty and filled during surgery
• Smaller incision required
• Easily absorbed by the body if ruptured

Silicone Breast Implants

• Filled with thick silicone gel
• Mimics natural breast tissue more closely
• Less likely to wrinkle or ripple
• Requires larger incision for insertion

"Gummy Bear" Implants

The most popular implant option, featuring a thicker, more cohesive silicone gel that maintains shape better than traditional implants. These provide a natural texture with reduced rupture risk.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

A natural alternative using the patient's own tissue harvested through liposuction. This technique offers subtle enhancement, increasing breast size by approximately one cup size with minimal complications.

Procedure Details

Dr. Jean performs breast augmentation under general anesthesia, utilizing advanced techniques like the Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation method. The procedure typically takes 1.5 hours and involves carefully selected incision and implant placement strategies.
