breast augmentation<\/a><\/h2>\nA breast augmentation surgery is the most common plastic surgery procedure that\u2019s performed each year. A major reason is women are unhappy with their breast size and want larger breasts or to balance out asymmetrical breasts.<\/p>\n
If you are considering breast augmentation, you and your surgeon will look at four major areas: the placement of the incision, type of implant, implant size and shape, and the risks with each implant. Silicone and saline breast implants give you several options for the desired look and feel. While silicone implants are the most popular because of their more natural feel, they do carry a risk of rupture without you knowing. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to have a great relationship with your surgical team and physician to have routine imaging of the breasts.<\/p>\n
Breast lift<\/h2>\n
Drooping or sagging breasts are best addressed by a breast lift, which will correct the drooping by reshaping and \u201clifting\u201d the breasts. During this surgery, the surgeon removes excess skin and tightens the surrounding tissue to create a more youthful contour. Often the areolae become enlarged over time, so a breast lift can reduce the size of the areolae as well.<\/p>\n
There is a variety of incision patterns and techniques for a breast lift. The technique for you will be determined based on the size and shape of your breasts, the size and position of your areolae, the degree of breast sagging, the amount of extra skin and the skin quality and elasticity.<\/p>\n
Breast augmentation with lift<\/h2>\n
Often, a breast lift is done in conjunction with breast augmentation. This surgery provides breast fullness and repositions sagging breasts and nipples.<\/p>\n
The decision to undergo breast enhancement surgery is a very personal one. A consultation with your plastic surgeon will determine which procedure would meet your goals. If you\u2019re interested in learning more about your breast enhancement options, call (203) 453-6635 to set up a consultation<\/a> with Dr. Price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman\u2019s body goes through many changes in her lifetime.
