Breast Augmentation Mesa, AZ | Dr. Ross Stutman

Understanding Breast Augmentation in Mesa

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast size using saline or cohesive silicone gel-filled implants. Dr. Ross Stutman specializes in creating natural, symmetrical breast enhancements tailored to individual patient goals.

Primary Goals of Breast Augmentation

• Increase breast size while maintaining a natural appearance
• Improve breast symmetry
• Create minimally noticeable surgical scars
• Achieve long-lasting aesthetic results
• Minimize potential complications

Who Is a Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Women often seek breast augmentation after pregnancy and breastfeeding or when dissatisfied with their current breast size. The procedure can help boost confidence and achieve desired body proportions.

Surgical Procedure Overview

The breast augmentation procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Stutman creates a precise surgical pocket either above or below the pectoralis major muscle, carefully placing implants to ensure optimal positioning and aesthetic outcomes.

Types of Breast Implants

Saline Breast Implants

Saline implants feature a silicone elastomer shell filled with sterile saline solution. Benefits include smaller incision requirements and lower cost. Potential drawbacks include visible rippling and less natural feel.

Silicone Gel-Filled Implants

Modern silicone implants offer a more natural feel with cohesive gel technology. These implants minimize leakage risks and provide enhanced aesthetic results compared to previous generations.

Implant Placement Techniques

Dr. Stutman employs two primary placement techniques: above and below the pectoralis major muscle. Each approach offers unique benefits in terms of breast projection, implant visibility, and long-term aesthetic outcomes.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients typically spend a few hours in recovery before returning home. Initial recovery takes 1-2 weeks, with complete healing potentially requiring up to 6 weeks. Patients are advised to follow post-operative instructions carefully.

Potential Limitations

Breast augmentation does not replace a breast lift and cannot address fundamental differences in breast or chest wall structure. The procedure may accelerate natural breast aging, particularly with larger implants.
