Breast Augmentation Houston, TX | Dr. Kristi Sumpter

Understanding Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast augmentation surgery offers women an opportunity to enhance their breast size and shape through carefully selected implants. Dr. Sumpter specializes in placing saline or silicone implants that create natural-looking results tailored to each patient's unique body contours.

Common Reasons for Breast Augmentation

• Restoring breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss
• Correcting breast asymmetry
• Improving breast shape after medical procedures
• Enhancing overall body proportion

Ideal Candidates for Breast Augmentation

Optimal candidates for breast augmentation typically demonstrate:

• Small breast size relative to body shape
• Noticeable breast size discrepancies
• Breasts that have lost volume after childbirth
• Non-smokers or those who have quit smoking
• Overall good physical health

Implant Options: Saline vs. Silicone

Dr. Sumpter offers both saline and silicone implants, each with unique characteristics. Saline implants are adjustable during surgery and feel firmer, while silicone implants provide a more natural texture and are typically recommended for patients with lower body weight.

Comprehensive Consultation Process

During the initial consultation, Dr. Sumpter conducts a thorough assessment, including evaluation of breast tissue, chest anatomy, and overall body proportions. This personalized approach ensures a customized breast augmentation plan that meets the patient's aesthetic goals.

Implant Selection Considerations

Selecting the right breast implant involves carefully considering multiple factors such as implant profile, projection, shape, and texture. Dr. Sumpter typically places implants under the pectoralis major muscle to achieve a natural appearance and minimize scarring.

Procedure Details

• Typical incision locations: breast crease or along nipple
• Implant placement: under pectoralis muscle
• Age requirements: 18 for saline, 21 for silicone implants
