noticeably smaller than the other
Breast enhancement or augmentation
is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic procedures
in the United States today. The intended results include
larger and shapelier breasts. It can quickly improve
your self image and your outward appearance in clothes.
Your Surgery
Breast augmentation, technically
known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure
to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breast.
Your procedure is done on an outpatient basis under
general anesthesia. A small incision is made at the
natural crease of the breast, a pocket is created and
a saline implant is inserted under the breast tissue
and the underlying muscle. The procedure usually takes
less than an hour.
Following your surgery, you will
return home in an elastic bra that helps hold your breasts
in the correct position. Your initial discomfort will
be controlled with oral medication and sutures are usually
removed in 12-14 days.
An additional procedure that will
enhance the result if your breasts tend to sag is a
breast lift, technically known as Mastopexy.
Your Consultation
We invite you to schedule a
private consultation with Dr. Bennett or one of our
nurse coordinators. During your consultation, Dr. Bennett
will discuss with you the selection of saline implants
to choose from. There is a large range of shapes and
sizes to meet your needs. Which implant you choose will
depend on your expectations and the result you desire.
During the consultation all aspects of your proposed
surgery will be discussed including preparation, relative
risks, recovery, range of fees, and financing options.
We gladly schedule from one to two hours for your consultation.
We encourage you to ask questions and express your needs
and concerns in a relaxed and unhurried atmosphere.
