BREAST AUGMENTATION IN NORTH BETHESDA, MD

UNDERSTANDING BREAST AUGMENTATION

Breast augmentation surgery increases breast size using implants to
create larger, fuller breasts with attractive proportions and
symmetry. This procedure is ideal for women seeking to enhance their
breast appearance after weight loss, aging, or pregnancy.

BENEFITS OF BREAST AUGMENTATION

 	* Balanced, even breast size and shape
	* Renewed, full breast contour
	* Enhanced body proportions
	* Improved self-confidence

PATIENT CANDIDACY FOR BREAST AUGMENTATION

Ideal candidates for breast augmentation in North Bethesda, MD include
women who:

 	* Are physically and mentally healthy
	* Have fully developed breasts
	* Are 18+ years old (saline) or 21+ years old (silicone)
	* Have realistic aesthetic expectations

IMPLANT OPTIONS

SILICONE IMPLANTS

Made of viscous silicone gel, these implants provide a natural-looking
bounce and shape. Options include popular "Gummy bear" implants with a
teardrop design.

SALINE IMPLANTS

Filled with sterile saltwater, saline implants are inserted through
small incisions and then precisely filled. They offer a safer option
in case of rupture.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE

Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia. Incisions
are strategically made to minimize scarring, typically in the breast
crease, around the areolae, or in armpit folds. Implants are placed
above or below the pectoral muscles based on individual anatomy.

RECOVERY PROCESS

Patients typically require 1-2 weeks of recovery. Light activities can
resume after two weeks, with full exercise clearance usually granted
after 4-6 weeks, following the surgeon's specific recommendations.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of Washington, each breast
augmentation is tailored to the individual's unique physique and
aesthetic goals. Consultations include comprehensive discussions about
implant type, size, shape, and potential complementary procedures.
