Breast Augmentation Annandale, VA | Dr. Khalique S. Zahir, MD

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a transformative surgical procedure designed to enhance body shape, balance breast irregularities, and restore breast volume. This sophisticated surgical technique can successfully alter a woman's body contour, helping her feel more confident and feminine.

Surgical Approach and Techniques

Dr. Zahir strategically places incisions in two primary locations:

• In the crease where the breast meets the chest
• Around the lower part of the areola

Implant Options

Patients have two primary implant choices: saline and silicone. The FDA has confirmed the safety of silicone implants, which offer a more natural appearance. The specific implant selection will be discussed during a personalized cosmetic consultation.

Implant Placement Considerations

Implant positioning varies based on individual anatomy. Some implants are placed above the pectoralis muscle, while others are positioned below, depending on the patient's existing breast tissue.

Surgical Procedure Details

The breast augmentation procedure is performed at an outpatient surgical center under general anesthesia by a board-certified anesthesiologist. The entire process typically takes approximately 1.5 hours and involves a precise 1-inch areolar incision.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Post-operative discomfort is managed effectively with prescribed medications. Most patients can return to work within 3-5 days following the procedure, with comprehensive guidance provided by Dr. Zahir's medical team.

Potential Procedure Benefits

• Enhanced body proportions
• Improved breast symmetry
• Restored breast volume
