Understanding Breast Augmentation in Houston

Female breasts often lose their fullness due to aging, post-pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight changes. Breast augmentation surgery offers a solution to restore breast volume and enhance aesthetic appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Augmentation

Patients considering breast augmentation should meet specific criteria:

Be in good physical and emotional health
Have breasts that are sagging, asymmetrical, or lacking proper volume
Understand the procedure's risks and rewards
Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
Meet age requirements (18 for saline, 22 for silicone implants)

Types of Breast Implants

Saline Implants

Saline implants feature a silicone shell filled with sterile saltwater solution. These implants offer smaller incisions and adjustable volume during surgery, though they may be more prone to rippling.

Silicone Implants

Pre-filled silicone gel implants provide a more natural look and feel. Available for patients over 22, these implants require slightly larger incisions but offer superior aesthetic results.

Gummy Bear Implants

Form-stable implants with cohesive silicone gel maintain shape even if the shell is compromised. These implants offer a tapered design with increased bottom projection and firmness.

Surgical Technique

Dr. Christian Arroyo utilizes advanced surgical methods, carefully selecting incision locations to minimize visible scarring. The procedure typically involves Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA) sedation, ensuring patient comfort and safety.

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients recover within 6-8 weeks, with initial healing occurring around one week post-surgery. Dr. Arroyo recommends avoiding strenuous activities during the recovery period and scheduling periodic follow-up appointments.
