Breast Augmentation Morgantown by McClellan Plastic Surgery
Breast Augmentation Morgantown, WV | McClellan Plastic Surgery
Understanding Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size and shape. Patients can choose between two primary implant types: silicone or saline. These implants are strategically placed either behind breast tissue or the chest muscle to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.
Common Reasons for Breast Augmentation
- Desire for larger breast size proportional to body frame
- Correction of breast asymmetry
- Restoration of breast volume after weight loss or pregnancy
- Addressing congenital breast deformities like tubular breast syndrome
Candidate Considerations
Not all patients qualify for breast augmentation. McClellan Plastic Surgery maintains strict patient selection criteria, including:
- Non-smokers only
- Age restrictions for implant types (saline: 18+, silicone: 22+)
- Realistic surgical expectations
- No active body dysmorphic disorder
Implant Options: Saline vs Silicone
Both saline and silicone implants feature a silicone outer shell with distinct characteristics:
- Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saltwater, suitable for patients 18 and older
- Silicone Implants: Filled with cohesive gel, recommended for patients 22 and older, with a more natural look and feel
Surgical Approach
McClellan Plastic Surgery primarily utilizes the inframammary fold incision technique, which provides optimal surgical visibility and implant placement. This approach minimizes potential complications and supports the best aesthetic outcomes.
Potential Surgical Risks
- Infection potential
- Implant rupture
- Capsular contracture
- Changes in nipple sensation
