Options for Breast Augmentation Surgery

Women do not have to worry about conditions such as loss of breast volume or

underdeveloped or sagging breasts any more. Breast augmentation surgery

improves volume and resolves these conditions, helping women achieve a more

youthful-looking attractive bust line. The procedure can address conditions such

as asymmetry, underdevelopment, nipple deformities and volume loss. Diverse

options are now available to enhance volume and improve breast shape quite

effectively with minimal risks and side effects.

Popular Breast Enhancement Options

The different enhancement options available are:

Augmentation With Implants – This procedure involves the use of implants

to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. FDA approved saline, silicone

and gummy bear implants come in different shapes and sizes. Depending

upon body anatomy and breast tissue, the plastic surgeon helps the patient

decide on the most suitable option as well as incision pattern for placement.

Breast implants are popular among women as they can provide the desired

look and feel.

Fat Transfer – This is an alternative option for women who desire larger size

or correction of asymmetrical or underdeveloped breasts without the use of

implants. The patient’s own fat is used for the augmentation. Fat cells are

harvested via liposuction from one area of the body, processed and purified

and injected into the breasts to improve size and shape. The most common

donor areas are the stomach, thighs, back and waist and this method offers

the added benefit of contouring the donor area by the removal of unwanted

fat. This method also offers more natural looking results without the

complications associated with implants.

Composite Breast Augmentation - This procedure combines the core

volume projection provided by the breast implant along with fat transfer.

Fat removed from specific areas via liposuction are processed and purified to

ensure maximum survival. The augmentation surgery is performed by placing

breast implant and then injecting the purified fat cells over it for a refined and

more natural appearance, while concealing the implant. This procedure is

ideal for women who do not have enough tissue to cover the implant.

At a professional plastic surgery practice, the surgeon will guide patients on the

selection of the right breast augmentation surgery option. Established cosmetic

surgeons now employ superior 3D imaging technology at the pre-surgical

consultation, which helps patients visualize the results from various angles and using

various options, and have realistic expectations about the outcome. This also allows

the surgeon to provide customized results.
