Breast Augmentation in North Bethesda, MD

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation surgery increases breast size using implants to create larger, fuller breasts with attractive proportions and symmetry. This procedure is ideal for women seeking to enhance their breast appearance after weight loss, aging, or pregnancy.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation

• Balanced, even breast size and shape
• Renewed, full breast contour
• Enhanced body proportions
• Improved self-confidence

Patient Candidacy for Breast Augmentation

Ideal candidates for breast augmentation in North Bethesda, MD include women who:

• Are physically and mentally healthy
• Have fully developed breasts
• Are 18+ years old (saline) or 21+ years old (silicone)

Implant Options

Silicone Implants

Made of viscous silicone gel, these implants provide a natural-looking bounce and shape. Options include popular "Gummy bear" implants with a teardrop design.

Saline Implants

Filled with sterile saltwater, saline implants are inserted through small incisions and then precisely filled. They offer a safer option in case of rupture.

Surgical Procedure

Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are strategically made to minimize scarring, typically in the breast crease, around the areolae, or in armpit folds. Implants are placed above or below the pectoral muscles based on individual anatomy.

Recovery Process

Patients typically require 1-2 weeks of recovery. Light activities can resume after two weeks, with full exercise clearance usually granted after 4-6 weeks, following the surgeon's specific recommendations.
