Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size and shape. This popular cosmetic surgery helps women address inherited small breasts, significant breast asymmetry, or volume loss following pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Procedure Overview

  • Increases breast volume using surgical implants
  • Restores breast fullness after weight loss or pregnancy
  • Corrects breast asymmetry
  • Enhances overall body proportions

Comprehensive Consultation Process

Dr. Mezrow conducts a thorough initial consultation to understand patient expectations and determine optimal surgical approach. The comprehensive evaluation includes:

  • Detailed medical and surgical history review
  • Physical breast and chest wall examination
  • Assessment of breast volume, symmetry, and skin tone
  • Precise measurements to guide implant selection

Implant Options

Patients can choose between saline and silicone implants, each with unique characteristics. Silicone implants are FDA-approved for patients 22 and older, offering a more natural look and feel, especially for patients with minimal breast tissue.

Surgical Technique

Dr. Mezrow offers multiple incision approaches, including:

  • Armpit (axilla) incision
  • Areola (periareolar) incision
  • Breast crease (inframammary) incision
  • Submuscular or subglandular implant placement

Procedure Details

The outpatient surgery typically takes approximately one hour, with patients recovering within 1-2 hours post-procedure. General anesthesia ensures patient comfort throughout the surgical process.

Recovery and Healing

Patients can expect a gradual healing process lasting up to one year. Most individuals return to non-strenuous work within one week, with ongoing follow-up to monitor progress and optimize surgical outcomes.

Potential Risks

While significant complications are rare, potential risks include infection, bleeding, implant malposition, and changes in nipple sensation. Dr. Mezrow provides comprehensive pre- and post-operative instructions to minimize complications.
