Breast Augmentation in Reston, VA | Wendy R. Gottlieb, M.D., P.L.C.

Understanding Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast augmentation surgery helps women achieve a natural, balanced, and harmonious feminine aesthetic. This procedure is ideal for patients desiring larger breasts, those who have experienced breast volume loss due to pregnancy or lactation, or individuals seeking to address breast asymmetry.

Implant Options and Considerations

Dr. Gottlieb offers two primary implant types: silicone gel and saline. Each option provides unique benefits:

• Saline implants: Less expensive, smaller incision, easier deflation detection
• Silicone gel implants: More natural feeling, especially for patients with minimal native breast volume

Implant Placement Techniques

Implant placement can be customized based on individual anatomy and aesthetic goals:

• Above muscle: Provides slight lift, eliminates implant movement during muscle contraction
• Under muscle: Offers additional camouflage, potential for more natural appearance

Surgical Approach

Dr. Gottlieb typically performs breast augmentation through two primary incision locations:

• Inframammary (under the breast)
• Areola border

Both incision techniques are designed to minimize visible scarring and typically fade significantly within one to two years.

Alternative Volume Enhancement

For patients seeking minimal enhancement, fat transfer from areas like the abdomen, hips, or thighs can provide an alternative to traditional implants, potentially offering dual benefits of contouring and breast volume restoration.
