About Breast Augmentation
Cosmetic breast surgery is a procedure that redefines the breasts to create a fuller look. This popular surgical intervention offers women opportunities to improve breast shape, size, and symmetry through implants or fat transfer. Board-certified aesthetic plastic surgeon Dr. George Kouris specializes in implementing breast augmentation, performing numerous procedures annually with expert precision.
Implant Options
During consultation, Dr. Kouris recommends implants based on individual body characteristics and aesthetic goals. Available options include:
- Silicone implants (FDA-approved, patients 22+)
- Saline implants (FDA-approved, patients 18+)
- Form-stable "gummy bear" implants
- Fat transfer techniques
Key Implant Considerations
Size Selection
Breast implant size is determined by cubic centimeters (CCs), carefully evaluated based on existing breast tissue and desired outcome. Dr. Kouris uses intraoperative techniques to ensure optimal fit.
Implant Shape and Profile
Patients can choose between round and teardrop-shaped implants, with projection profiles ranging from low to extra high. Round implants remain most popular, offering natural-looking upper breast fullness.
Ideal Candidates
Breast augmentation candidates should be physically healthy with fully developed breasts. Ideal patients might include those experiencing:
- Breast shape dissatisfaction
- Changes from pregnancy or weight loss
- Desire for increased breast volume
Surgical Technique
The procedure involves carefully selected incision placement and implant positioning. Dr. Kouris offers two primary placement techniques: under or over the pectoral muscle, determined by individual patient factors.
Recovery and Expectations
Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. Most patients return to normal activities within one week, with full recovery taking several months. Patients will wear a compression garment to manage swelling and support healing.
Consultation and Planning
During your consultation, Dr. Kouris will comprehensively discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate your unique anatomy, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your expectations.
