The Art of Enhancement

What is Breast Augmentation?

Year after year, breast augmentation with implants endures as one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries. Women who choose breast enhancement with implants have more options than ever before for personalizing the procedure around their goals and body proportions. Careful planning is essential to achieving results you love—so is working with an experienced surgeon who prioritizes your comfort and satisfaction at every step. Dr. Dinah Wan has helped countless women achieve their vision for their most beautiful, confident appearance.

Dr. Wan and the team at Prosper Plastic Surgery work with the full spectrum of implant types, sizes, and profiles, allowing you plenty of flexibility in designing your procedure.

Implant Materials

Saline breast implants are filled with sterile saline, or salt water. If ruptured, the implant deflates and the saline that leaks out is safely reabsorbed by the body. As the implant deflation is readily noticeable, this allows quicker detection of rupture.

Silicone breast implants are filled with silicone gel. Today's silicone implants are filled with more cohesive gel, otherwise known as "gummy bear" implants. Silicone implants tend to feel more natural and have less rippling. A ruptured silicone implant may not be readily detectable as it does not deflate like a ruptured saline implant does. Because of this, the FDA recommends interval screening for silicone implant rupture with ultrasound or MRI.

Implant Textures

Smooth breast implants have a soft outer shell that is smooth to the touch. They can move freely within the breast pocket, providing a more natural feel and appearance.

Textured breast implants have a roughened outer surface that can help decrease the risk of implant rotation.

Implant Shapes

Round breast implants have a symmetrical shape with equal projection in all directions. They provide a fuller, rounder shape and enhance cleavage.

Teardrop breast implants mimic natural breast contours, with more fullness in the lower portion and a tapered upper pole.

Implant Profiles and Sizes

Implant profile refers to the degree of projection of the implant. Implants come in low, moderate, and high profiles, providing varying degrees of breast prominence from the chest wall.

Implant size is typically measured in volume, expressed in cubic centimeters (cc). During consultation and pre-operative planning, Dr. Wan helps her patients select their ideal size by visualizing the volume and contours of different implants and how they will look on individual body proportions.

Other considerations include incision location and implant placement. The most common incision locations are in the crease beneath the breasts (inframammary) or around the areolas (periareolar). Implants may be placed directly under the breast tissue (subglandular) or under the chest muscle (submuscular). Dr. Wan will help you select the best incision locations and implant placement for your procedure.

Balancing Your Options

What are the benefits of Breast Augmentation?

Over the years, breast augmentation with implants has evolved, providing sophisticated results that reflect your personal goals. Implants come in a wide range of materials, sizes, and profiles, paving the way for results that complement your body proportions. Benefits of breast augmentation with implants:

  • Long-lasting enhancement: Most implants last ten years or more before requiring exchange or removal. Barring any complications, they can often last longer.
  • Personalized to you: Today's wide range of implant materials, sizes, profiles, shapes, and textures allow you to design a procedure with nuanced results.
  • A more positive body image: For women who feel dissatisfied with the size of their breasts, breast enhancement can contribute to better self-esteem and greater confidence.
  • Expanded opportunities for self-expression: Achieving a more balanced physique may allow patients to explore more clothing options and feel confident in social and professional settings.
  • A good complement to other procedures: Many times our breast augmentation Prosper patients choose to combine other procedures, for example, a breast augmentation with breast lift or a breast augmentation and tummy tuck. Dr. Wan specializes in the personalized combination approach known as a Mommy Makeoverporates multiple procedures into a single surgery.
  • Strong safety record: Modern implant techniques have a strong safety record. Major complications from breast augmentation are rare.

Expertise You Can Trust

Your Breast Augmentation Procedure

Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring a safe and comfortable surgery. The details of your procedure will be carefully mapped out ahead of time so you know what to expect. The location of the incisions depends on factors like your individual anatomy and the type of implant used. Dr. Wan prefers the inframammary incision for most breast augmentation procedures because it is well-concealed and affords excellent control of implant placement.

Once the incisions are made, Dr. Wan creates a pocket for the implant underneath the breasts’ glandular tissue or beneath the chest muscle. Again, implant placement depends on various individual factors. Dr. Wan takes a meticulous approach to closing the incisions in a layered fashion that ensures optimal implant position and healing. After a short monitoring period in the recovery area, patients typically return home the same day with a friend or family member to drive them.

A Personalized Approach

Breast Augmentation Recovery and Aftercare

After the surgery, you will be taken to a recovery area, where you will be monitored until you are fully awake from anesthesia. Dr. Wan and your surgical team will provide instructions on how to care for your incisions, manage pain, and when to follow up for post-operative appointments. Recovery after breast augmentation can vary from person to person, but here's a general overview of what to expect:

Additional Reading

Initial days: The first few days following surgery are typically the most uncomfortable. You may experience discomfort, tightness, and swelling in the chest area. Dr. Wan will prescribe pain medication and a muscle relaxer to help manage the discomfort. It's essential to follow all post-operative instructions carefully, including how to care for incisions.

Activity restrictions: You will need to avoid engaging in strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and exercise for a few weeks following surgery to allow for proper healing. You'll also need to avoid driving until you're no longer taking prescription pain medication and feel comfortable operating a vehicle.

Recovery timeline: While individual recovery times vary, most people can return to light activities within a week or two after surgery. However, it may take several weeks to a few months for swelling to fully subside and for your breasts to settle into their final shape and position. Dr. Wan will advise you on when it's safe to resume normal activities and exercise.

Follow-up appointments: You'll have several follow-up appointments with Dr. Wan in the weeks and months following surgery to monitor your progress, check for any complications, and ensure that your implants are settling properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

The choice of breast implants depends on factors like your desired look, body type, and other factors that Dr. Wan will review with you. Silicone implants often provide a more natural feel, especially for those with less breast tissue. Saline implants may be preferred for those concerned about rupture detection or who require adjustments in volume. Cohesive gel implants offer a form-stable option with less palpable rippling of the implant. This may be beneficial for women with very thin breast tissue. Ultimately, discussing your goals and concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine the best type of implant for you.

Breast implants last for ten years on average. It’s important to have your implants checked at regular intervals to detect any emerging problems, such as implant rupture or capsular contracture, a condition where scar tissue develops around the implant.

Although many women are able to breastfeed successfully after augmentation, it’s important to understand that breast implant surgery can affect breastfeeding. Certain surgical techniques can help improve the chance of successful breastfeeding following Breast Augmentation. Dr. Wan spends time learning about your surgical goals, educating you about the risks and benefits of each approach, and helping you make the best choice for your needs.

Your Breast Augmentation incision will be placed in discreet locations, usually within the natural breast crease. Although some scarring is inevitable, attentive aftercare and scar reduction methods help the incision flatten and fade over time. Dr. Wan will instruct you on aftercare techniques to promote optimal healing and minimal visible scarring from your procedure.

The cost of Breast Augmentation depends on several factors related to the specifics of your surgery as well as the implants you select. After Dr. Wan has learned about your needs and goals during your consultation, we will be able to provide you with an estimate of costs for any procedure you are considering.
