Breast Augmentation Maywood, NJ | Paul J. Therattil, M.D.

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a personalized surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size, shape, and symmetry. Women seeking this procedure may have diverse motivations, including restoring breast volume after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging, or addressing breast asymmetry.

Surgical Approach and Implant Selection

Selecting the appropriate implant type and size is crucial for achieving optimal results. Patients can choose between two primary implant options:

• Saline Implants: Sterile saltwater-filled implants with a silicone outer shell
• Silicone Implants: Elastic gel-filled implants with a silicone shell

Procedure Details

The breast augmentation procedure involves creating a precise surgical pocket for implant placement. Incision locations are strategically determined based on implant type, patient anatomy, and aesthetic goals. The surgery is performed under anesthesia, with careful consideration of individual patient needs.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While breast augmentation is generally safe, potential risks include:

• Capsular contracture
• Changes in breast or nipple sensation
• Potential implant rupture or displacement
• Minor surgical complications

Candidate Evaluation

Ideal breast augmentation candidates are individuals in good overall health with realistic expectations. The procedure can offer benefits such as improved body proportions, enhanced clothing fit, and increased self-confidence.

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients experience a relatively rapid recovery, with minor bruising and swelling typically subsiding within weeks. Temporary activity restrictions are common during the initial healing phase.
