Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that uses implants to fulfill the desire for fuller breasts or to restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy. Dr. Michael Hanemann specializes in this transformative procedure.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation

• Increased fullness and projection of breasts
• Improved figure balance
• Enhanced self-image and self-confidence
• Potential for breast reconstruction after mastectomy or injury

Ideal Candidates

Breast augmentation may be suitable for individuals who:

• Are physically healthy
• Have realistic expectations
• Have fully developed breasts
• Are bothered by the feeling that their breasts are too small
• Are dissatisfied with breast shape and volume loss due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging
• Have asymmetrical breasts

Important Safety Considerations

Dr. Hanemann ensures patients are fully informed about the potential risks and complications associated with breast augmentation surgery. These may include unfavorable scarring, infection, changes in nipple or breast sensation, capsular contracture, and the possibility of revisional surgery.

Recovery Process

After surgery, patients typically experience a 24 to 48-hour post-surgical recovery period, followed by a few days of reduced activity. Soreness and swelling may persist for a few weeks. Dr. Hanemann provides specific instructions for optimal healing and recovery.

Long-Lasting Results

Breast augmentation results are long-lasting, but patients should be aware that implants may need replacement or revision over time. Regular follow-up visits with Dr. Hanemann are important to monitor the condition of the implants and overall breast health.

Cost Considerations

The cost of breast augmentation varies based on factors such as surgeon experience, implant type, and geographic location. Dr. Hanemann's office can provide detailed information about costs and potential financing options.
