Breast Enhancement Surgery in Florence, SC | Joe A. Griffin III, MD

Understanding Breast Augmentation Procedures

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size and shape for various personal and medical reasons. The technique involves inserting implants to improve body contour, restore volume, and achieve aesthetic balance.

Primary Reasons for Breast Augmentation

• Enhance body contour and proportions
• Restore breast volume after weight loss or pregnancy
• Achieve breast symmetry
• Improve breast shape and firmness
• Reconstruct breast appearance after medical procedures

Surgical Approach and Techniques

Dr. Joe A. Griffin III employs specialized techniques to ensure minimal scarring and natural-looking results. Incisions are strategically placed in inconspicuous locations such as the breast crease, around the nipple, or in the armpit.

Implant Placement Options

• Directly under breast tissue (submammary placement)
• Beneath the chest wall muscle (submuscular placement)

Implant Selection Considerations

Choosing the right implant involves evaluating multiple factors, including:

• Implant filler (saline or silicone)
• Size and volume
• Texture and shape
• Projection profile

Patient Candidacy

Ideal candidates for breast augmentation are physically healthy individuals with realistic expectations. The procedure is typically recommended for women with fully developed breasts, with age requirements varying by implant type.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial recovery within 24-48 hours, with complete healing occurring over several weeks. Surgical outcomes typically reveal fuller, more symmetrical breasts with minimal scarring.
