BREAST AUGMENTATION IN ATLANTA

While some cosmetic enhancement trends shift and change over the years, breast augmentation surgery has held its position as the most popular cosmetic surgery in the United States for the past seven years, with nearly 300,000 breast augmentation procedures performed in 2013 alone! The remarkably consistent demand for this procedure can partially be credited to the recent developments in implant technology, which have given surgeons and patients the opportunity to customize almost every aspect of this procedure, and to create results that are specifically tailored to each patient’s unique aesthetic preferences.

In order to benefit from the latest advances in the field of breast enhancement, it is important that patients select a qualified plastic surgeon who is committed to keeping up with the latest innovations in breast augmentation surgery, such as Dr. Wright A. Jones and Dr. Sabine Lovell, whose private practice services patients in and around Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. Jones is a well-respected and compassionate plastic surgeon, who utilizes state-of-the-art implants and cutting edge surgical techniques to produce beautifully natural breast augmentation results.

BREAST IMPLANT CHOICES & CONSIDERATIONS

The phrase “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” is especially appropriate for the highly subjective topic of breast aesthetics. Fortunately, breast augmentation surgery can be modified in terms of both implant selection and procedural techniques, in order to provide optimal enhancement of each patient’s unique body type and aesthetic goals.

Although the growing number of breast implant choices offers the benefit of procedural customizability, it can also make implant selection seem a bit daunting. Dr. Jones and Dr. Lovell realize that choosing the right implant can sometimes feel overwhelming, and they will patiently guide you through each step of the process, making sure that you are completely comfortable with the implants you have selected, and that you have a clear understanding as to how your new implants will enhance your physique.

Breast implants can be customized in terms of profile, texture, shape, and size, as outlined below:

Implant Profile

the profile of a breast implant is an indicator of the distance the implant will project from the body—the higher the implant profile, the more prominent the patient’s new silhouette will be after surgery, and vice versa

Implant Size

cubic centimeters (cc’s) are used to measure the volume/size of the implant, rather than traditional bra sizes, and breast implants are generally available in a size range of approximately 120cc to 960cc

Implant Type

Silicone: silicone implants are placed into the body pre-filled with a silicone-based gel that is designed to closely simulate the feel and density of human breast tissue and Saline: saline implants are placed into the body in their empty form, and are then filled with a sterile salt water solution

Implant Shape

Teardrop (anatomical) and Round (spherical

Implant Texture

Smooth and Textured

WHO MAKES A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR BREAST AUGMENTATION?

Most women who are dissatisfied with their breast size and are in good health and do not smoke are considered good candidates for breast augmentation. Breast augmentation is an ideal procedure for women who want more symmetrical and voluminous breasts that help to boost their confidence in their own appearance. While breast augmentation does not address sagging breast tissue, the procedure may be combined with a breast lift to achieve larger and elevated breasts.

INCISION PLACEMENTS FOR BREAST AUGMENTATION

The surgeons at Muse Plastic Surgery have four surgical techniques for inserting your implants. While the inframammary incision, placed along the lower crease where the breast meets the chest, is the most popular option, your surgeon will advise you upon the placement prior to your surgery. Keep in mind that if you choose an implant of a certain texture or size, that may necessitate using one incision placement over the others.

HOW SOON AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION CAN I EXERCISE?

We recommend waiting six to eight weeks before incorporating strenuous exercise back into your routine. Cardio and other exercises that jostle your chest can aggravate the healing process. With that said, taking walks (once you are up for it) can be beneficial to your recovery since it improves blood circulation, which can accelerate the healing process.

SHOULD I WAIT UNTIL I HAVE CHILDREN TO HAVE BREAST ENHANCEMENT?

Breast implants do not usually impair your ability to breastfeed; however Muse Plastic Surgery recommends that you wait until you have completed having children before undergoing breast augmentation. Your breasts are extremely likely to change shape and decrease in mass — with or without implants — after the breastfeeding process, which is why so many women ultimately seek breast procedures after they are done nursing.

WILL MY BREAST IMPLANTS LOOK AND FEEL REAL?

While some women prefer an oversized breast shape that looks a little less natural, we focus on addressing the needs of women who are primarily concerned with their breasts still appearing as authentic as possible. Our surgeons take your requests into account when performing surgery, so if realism is your top concern, that can be achieved. Silicone gel implants are known to have a texture that most closely feels like actual breast tissue. Additionally, teardrop shaped implants are known to best create the shape of young, natural breasts.

DO I HAVE TO WEAR A COMPRESSION GARMENT?

Yes, it is very important that you wear a compression garment at all times for the first few weeks. In addition to allowing you to feel more comfortable, it will reduce fluid buildup, which should help to reduce swelling and bruising, thereby allowing your full surgical results to be visible sooner.
