Breast Augmentation Muscle Shoals, AL | Shoals Plastic Surgery

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, medically termed mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breasts. The procedure helps patients achieve a fuller profile, improve breast symmetry, and restore breast volume lost due to pregnancy, nursing, or other factors.

Reasons for Breast Augmentation

• Enhance body proportions with smaller breast sizes
• Restore breast volume after pregnancy and nursing
• Achieve breast symmetry
• Reconstruct breasts following mastectomy or injury

Surgical Procedure Details

Breast augmentation involves creating a small incision to insert a breast implant, typically performed under general anesthesia. Surgeons at Shoals Plastic Surgery carefully select the optimal incision location, which may include the lower breast portion, armpit, or around the areola.

Implant Placement Techniques

Implants can be inserted either behind breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle. Silicone and saline implants are available, with multiple sizes and shapes to meet individual patient needs.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-operative instructions emphasize rest and limited arm movement. Patients will wear a specialized surgical bra to support healing. Minor to moderate pain can be effectively managed with prescribed oral medication.

Ideal Candidates

• Physically healthy individuals
• Not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
• Fully developed breasts
• Realistic surgical expectations
• Seeking breast enhancement or reconstruction
