Understanding Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast augmentation addresses personal aesthetic goals for individuals seeking to enhance their breast size and shape. Many women desire breast enhancement to improve body proportions, restore volume lost through aging or hormonal changes, or boost overall self-confidence.

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, medically known as mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast volume and improve contour. The procedure involves inserting silicone or saline implants behind natural breast tissue to achieve desired size and shape.

Types of Breast Implants

• Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saltwater solution
• Silicone Implants: Filled with medical-grade silicone gel
• Gummy Bear Implants: Form-stable implants maintaining shape if ruptured

Surgical Approach

Dr. English typically places implants beneath the chest wall muscle, which provides several advantages: softer, more natural appearance, reduced risk of firmness, and improved mammogram reliability. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia with careful consideration of body proportions and existing breast tissue.

Recovery Expectations

Patients can expect mild to moderate discomfort following breast augmentation, manageable with over-the-counter pain medication. Most patients require seven to ten days away from work, with complete recovery taking several weeks. Strenuous activities should be avoided for four to six weeks post-surgery.

Recovery Highlights

• Wear specialized surgical bra for several weeks
• Temporary swelling and discoloration
• Gradual return of breast sensation
• Scars typically fade significantly over 18-36 months

Personalized Consultation

An essential part of the breast augmentation process involves a detailed consultation to determine the most appropriate implant size, shape, and placement. Dr. English works closely with each patient to understand their aesthetic goals and develop a customized surgical plan.
