Breast Augmentation in Atlanta, GA

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and fullness of the breasts. This procedure helps women improve body proportions, restore volume lost due to weight changes or pregnancy, and achieve their desired breast profile.

Candidates for Breast Augmentation

Ideal candidates for breast augmentation include women who:

• Are in good physical health
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Desire to enhance breast volume or correct asymmetry
• Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
• Are emotionally prepared for surgery and recovery

Types of Breast Augmentation Incisions

Peri-Areolar Incision

Made around the areola's edge, this incision allows scars to blend with natural skin tone changes while providing precise implant placement.

Inframammary Incision

Located in the natural breast fold, this incision offers direct access to chest muscles and keeps scars well-hidden.

Breast Implant Options

Saline Implants

Filled with sterile saltwater, saline implants provide a firm feel and can be safely absorbed if ruptured.

Silicone Implants

These implants feature a cohesive gel that closely mimics natural breast tissue, offering a more realistic look and feel.

Implant Placement Techniques

Subglandular Placement

Implants are positioned above the chest muscle, ideal for patients with sufficient natural breast tissue.

Submuscular Placement

Implants are placed beneath the pectoral muscle, providing a more natural contour, especially for patients with minimal breast tissue.

Procedure and Recovery

Breast augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, with full recovery taking several months.
