Understanding Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is the most common cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance and increase the size and proportions of female breasts. This operation helps women address various aesthetic and functional concerns, including underdeveloped breasts, volume loss after pregnancy or weight changes, and breast asymmetry.
Types of Breast Implants
Dr. Apesos offers two primary implant options:
- Saline Implants: Filled with sterile salt water after placement
- Silicone Implants: Pre-filled with cohesive gel, mimicking natural breast tissue
Incision Approaches
Dr. Apesos utilizes multiple incision techniques, including:
- Nipple Approach: Recommended for patients with mild sagging
- Inframammary Approach: Incision made beneath the breast
Procedure Details
Breast augmentation is performed as an outpatient procedure in an approved surgical center. Most patients can return to work within four to six days following surgery. Silicone implants are FDA-approved for patients 21 years and older.
