Breast Augmentation in Wilmington, CT

Understanding Breast Augmentation Procedures

Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breasts. Gillespie Plastic Surgery offers personalized breast enhancement techniques tailored to each patient's unique body structure and aesthetic goals.

Procedure Overview

• Procedure Length: 1 to 3 hours
• Anesthesia: General anesthesia
• Procedure Type: Typically inpatient

Surgical Techniques

During the breast augmentation procedure, surgeons carefully insert implants through strategic incisions located in one of three areas:

• Under the breast crease
• Around the areola
• Through the armpit

Implant Options

Patients can choose between silicone and saline implants, with silicone being the preferred method by most medical professionals. The implant is typically positioned beneath the chest wall muscle to ensure optimal aesthetic results.

Customized Breast Enhancement Goals

Gillespie Plastic Surgery addresses various aesthetic objectives through breast augmentation, including:

• Correcting developmentally misshapen breasts
• Enlarging breast size
• Restoring breast appearance after pregnancy or aging

Patient Consultation

During the initial consultation, the surgical team conducts a comprehensive health evaluation to determine the most appropriate surgical technique. If breast sagging is present, a combined breast lift might be recommended.
