Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammaplasty, redefines beauty as a whole for many women. Women that are born with small, disproportionate or misshapen breasts often desire breast augmentation. Those that have experienced reduced breast tissue volume because of age, pregnancy, weight loss or cancer may desire breast augmentation. Breast augmentation will increase the size of a woman’s breasts, but also offers several additional benefits, including:
Undoubtedly, breast augmentation will refine breast size, but will not improve breast droopiness or sagging. In these cases, a breast lift may be performed in conjunction with the breast augmentation. Other women may simply require reshaping of the breast tissue and may not require breast implants to achieve the desired result. Contact us today to schedule your Newport Beach breast augmentation & implant appointment.
Dr. Champion and her staff will take every precaution to prepare you for every step in the breast augmentation procedure. Your comfort and safety are our primary concerns. There are primarily five steps that are involved in the breast augmentation procedure, including:
Breast augmentation patients will receive anesthesia to bring comfort to the procedure. Dr. Champion will discuss options available for anesthesia at the time of an initial consultation.
Newport Beach Breast augmentation by Dr. Champion is performed through an inconspicuous incision that may be located in one of two places, including: inframammary incision or periaerola incision. The inframammary incision is made under the breast along the crease. The periareola incision is made along the lower line of the nipple. Dr. Champion will review incision options that are appropriate for your desired outcome based on the type of breast implant you select, degree of enlargement you desire and your particular anatomy.
Breast augmentation utilizes saline or silicone breast implants to increase breast size. Dr. Champion will select a custom sized and shaped breast implant based on your personal preferences and a variety of other factors, including: your desired breast enlargement size, the width of your chest, your height and weight, the elasticity and thickness of your skin.
Breast implants do not impair breast health. Careful review of scientific research conducted by independent groups such as the Institute of Medicine has found no proven link between breast implants and breast cancer, autoimmune or other systemic diseases.
Breast implants are placed through the incision using a variety of techniques that are specific to patient needs. Breast implant placement involves the refinement of a breast pocket to be used to place the breast implants in one of two locations: sub-muscular placement or sub-mammary/ sub-glandular placement.
In the end, Dr. Champion will close the incisions with layered sutures in the breast tissue and with skin adhesive or surgical tape to close the skin. The breast lift may be performed in the same surgical session after breast implant placement or at later date once swelling subsides and breasts drop over time. Contact us today to schedule your Newport Beach breast augmentation & implant appointment.
Breast augmentation recovery requires rest following the procedure, but patients usually return to most normal activities within a couple of days following the procedure. Dr. Champion will provide you with a list of instructions to follow for an optimal recovery experience. These instructions will include: medications to take, dates to return to the office, hygiene, care for incisions, and the types of activities to perform or avoid in the weeks following breast augmentation surgery.
The practice of medicine and surgery is not an exact science. Although good results are expected, there is no guarantee. In some situations, it may not be possible to achieve optimal results with a single surgical procedure and another surgery may be necessary. In rare cases, complications may arise, but can be managed when immediately reported to Dr. Champion.
The results of breast augmentation are immediately visible. Over time, incision lines will fade. Dr. Champion’s patients have found extreme satisfaction with their new image and fulfillment of their goal for fuller breasts.
Of course, breast implants and your body will age over the course of your lifetime. Pregnancy, weight loss and menopause may influence the appearance of your augmented breasts. For these reasons, you may need to replace your breast implants years after your initial breast augmentation procedure. In the meantime, you can expect to have long lasting results that will allow you more choices in clothing and greater comfort when unclothed. If you are like many women that have breast augmentation, you may also have a boost in self confidence.
