ASSOCIATES: PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING BREAST AUGMENTATION

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase
breast size and fullness through implant placement. The procedure can
restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss, and correct
congenital breast asymmetries. Patients can choose between saline or
silicone gel implants to achieve their desired aesthetic outcome.

CANDIDATE ASSESSMENT

Ideal candidates for breast augmentation include individuals who are:

 	* Unhappy with current breast size or shape
	* In good overall physical health
	* Seeking to correct minor breast sagging
	* Holding realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The breast augmentation procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and is
performed under general anesthesia. During surgery, the plastic
surgeon creates a space either above or below the pectoralis major
muscle to insert the chosen implant. The incision location and implant
type are carefully discussed during the initial consultation.

POTENTIAL SURGICAL RISKS

As with any surgical procedure, breast augmentation carries potential
risks including infection, asymmetry, changes in nipple sensation, and
potential need for future revision surgery. Patients will receive
comprehensive information about these risks during their consultation.

RECOVERY PROCESS

Most patients can return to work within one week, with full recovery
typically occurring around four weeks post-surgery. Patients will
receive specific instructions about post-operative care, including
guidelines for wearing surgical bras and managing incision sites.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Breast implants are medical devices with a limited lifespan. Regular
follow-up with the plastic surgeon is essential to monitor long-term
implant health and address any potential concerns.

BREAST LIFT WASHINGTON, DC | DR. STEPHEN B. BAKER, MD

UNDERSTANDING BREAST LIFT SURGERY

Breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure designed to remove
breast ptosis and restore projection to a woman's breasts. Ideal
candidates include women who have experienced breast shape changes
after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or those seeking to restore a more
youthful breast contour.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR BREAST LIFT

Dr. Stephen B. Baker recommends breast lift surgery for women who:

 	* Are physically healthy and maintain a stable weight
	* Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
	* Experience breast sagging or loss of breast shape
	* Have nipples that fall below the breast crease
	* Want to address asymmetrical breast positioning

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE AND PROCEDURE

Mastopexy typically takes between one and a half to three and a half
hours. The most common technique involves an anchor-shaped incision
that follows the natural breast contour. This approach allows Dr.
Baker to remove excess skin, reposition the nipple and areola, and
reshape the breast for a more lifted appearance.

PROCEDURE VARIATIONS

Depending on individual patient needs, Dr. Baker may recommend
different incision patterns, including:

 	* Periareolar (around the areola)
	* Vertical incision (down from areola to breast crease)
	* Concentric or "doughnut" mastopexy for minimal sagging

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising, with gradual
healing over several weeks. A specialized support bra will be required
for three to four weeks post-surgery. Most patients return to normal
activities within one to two weeks, with full recovery taking several
months.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Breast lift results are not permanent, as factors like aging, gravity,
and weight fluctuations will continue to impact breast shape. Patients
should maintain realistic expectations and understand that permanent
scarring is an inherent part of the procedure.
