Breast Augmentation in Huntersville, NY | Erik J. Miles, MD

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enlarge and enhance breast size through the strategic placement of breast implants. Consistently ranked among the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures, this technique can increase breast volume by one or more cup sizes while improving overall breast symmetry.

Procedure Overview

North Charlotte Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery offers comprehensive breast augmentation services tailored to individual patient needs. The surgical approach involves precise implant selection and placement to achieve natural-looking, aesthetically pleasing results.

Implant Options

• Saline breast implants
• Silicone gel breast implants
• Various implant shapes and sizes
• Placement options: submuscular and subglandular

Surgical Technique

Dr. Erik Miles performs breast augmentation under general anesthesia, utilizing carefully selected incision techniques to minimize visible scarring. Incision locations may include inframammary (underneath the breast), transaxillary (underarm), or periareolar (around the areola).

Patient Candidacy and Expectations

Ideal breast augmentation candidates are healthy individuals seeking aesthetic breast enhancement. Patients should have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes, understanding that while symmetry can be improved, perfect symmetry is not guaranteed.

Potential Benefits

• Enhanced breast volume
• Improved breast symmetry
• Increased self-confidence
• Customizable aesthetic results

Recovery and Postoperative Care

Recovery timelines vary by individual, but patients can typically return to normal activities within several weeks. Dr. Miles provides comprehensive postoperative instructions to ensure optimal healing and minimize potential complications.

Safety Considerations

While breast augmentation is generally safe, potential risks include infection, changes in nipple sensation, and implant-related complications. Thorough pre-surgical screening and following postoperative guidelines can significantly reduce these risks.
