Breast Augmentation in The Woodlands, TX | SGK Plastic Surgery: Sugene Kim, MD, FACS

Understanding Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size and create a more balanced, feminine figure. The surgery involves strategically placing implants either beneath the natural breast tissue or chest muscles to create a natural-looking breast mound.

Why Women Choose Breast Augmentation

• Add balance, shape, and proportion to body
• Restore lost breast volume
• Enhance naturally small breasts
• Correct breast asymmetry

Implant Options: Silicone vs Saline

Dr. Sugene Kim offers both silicone and saline breast implants. Silicone implants are preferred by most patients for their natural feel and appearance, closely mimicking natural breast tissue. Saline implants offer advantages like smaller incisions and customizable volume.

Surgical Technique and Customization

SGK Plastic Surgery emphasizes meticulous surgical technique. Dr. Kim creates a custom surgical plan considering implant type, size, and projection to help patients achieve their desired aesthetic goals.

Implant Placement Techniques

• Submuscular placement: Beneath chest muscle
• Subglandular placement: Above chest muscle

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients find breast augmentation recovery easier than anticipated. Typical recovery involves minimal downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days. Specific post-surgical guidelines include weight lifting restrictions and exercise limitations.

Complementary Procedures

Some patients may benefit from combining breast augmentation with a breast lift to achieve a more comprehensive body contouring result. This combination can be particularly beneficial for patients seeking to restore pre-pregnancy body aesthetics.

Candidate Considerations

Breast augmentation candidates typically include women who want to address breast size, shape, or symmetry. Ideal candidates are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Cost Considerations

Breast augmentation in the Houston area starts at $7,500, with pricing dependent on implant type, surgical complexity, and individual patient needs.
