Breast Augmentation Stamford, CT | Dr. Chang Soo Kim, MD | Plastic Surgery

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a transformative cosmetic procedure designed to enhance a woman's breast size and shape. Dr. Kim specializes in personalized breast enhancement techniques that help patients achieve their ideal feminine form and boost self-confidence.

Reasons for Breast Augmentation

• Enhance small or disproportionate breast size
• Improve breast symmetry
• Restore breast volume after pregnancy or weight changes
• Enhance cleavage and overall breast contour

Ideal Candidates

Candidates for breast implant surgery typically include women who:

• Are in good overall health
• Have fully mature breasts
• Are not currently breastfeeding
• Desire improved breast proportion and shape

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Kim performs breast augmentation under intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. The procedure involves strategic incision placement and precise implant positioning to achieve natural-looking results.

Incision Options

• Inframammary (in the breast crease)
• Periareolar (around the nipple)
• Axillary (armpit)

Implant Options

Saline Implants

Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater solution. They offer advantages such as smaller incisions and easy leak detection. However, they may feel firmer and show more visible rippling compared to silicone options.

Silicone Implants

Silicone implants provide a more natural feel and come in various types, including traditional and cohesive gel (gummy bear) implants. These options offer different consistencies and shapes to match individual aesthetic goals.

Recovery and Expectations

Breast augmentation recovery is typically short. Patients can return to light activities within 3-7 days and resume exercise within 2-6 weeks, depending on individual healing progress.

Recovery Milestones

• 3-7 days: Return to light work
• 2 weeks: Begin light exercise
• 6 weeks: Full return to active lifestyle
