BREAST IMPLANTS 101
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast augmentation leads the way when it comes to most popular cosmetic surgery procedures.
Today’s implants feel more natural, like breast tissue, than ever before. And with medical advancements and technology making continual strides, a breast augmentation is more attainable than ever.
Dr. Andrew offers both silicone and saline implants that can be used to increase the size of the breasts, as well as restore shape and volume. This outpatient procedure involves placing the implant either above or beneath the pectoralis muscle. This, as well as the size of the implant, is discussed and decided on by you in your consultation.
The recovery after a breast augmentation varies. A minimum of one week of downtime is to be expected, with other restrictions for several weeks. After about three weeks, your incision will start to heal and your breast implants will display final results after several months.
ARM YOURSELF WITH INFORMATION
The first step in deciding whether a breast augmentation is right for you is to do your due diligence. As you research plastic surgeons, it’s key to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon.
The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery indicates that choosing a plastic surgeon that is board certified with substantial experience is key to obtaining optimum results. Board certification is indicative of a cosmetic surgeon that has shown competency and qualification in the field of plastic surgery, while demonstrating a commitment to the profession and patient care.
Dr. Andrew offers consultations, during which he takes the time to listen to your unique concerns while offering the best possible treatment solutions. He always takes care to be mindful of your budget and lifestyle as well as to recommend solutions that will provide a natural look that complements your body type.
