Breast Augmentation Houston, TX | De La Cruz Plastic Surgery - Houston

Understanding Breast Augmentation in Houston

Breast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedures in the United States. At De La Cruz Plastic Surgery, patients can achieve a fuller, firmer, and better-proportioned breast profile through advanced surgical techniques and precise implant placement.

Reasons for Breast Augmentation

Patients choose breast augmentation for various medical and aesthetic reasons, including:

• Balancing breast size
• Restoring breast volume after pregnancy or surgery
• Correcting congenital breast defects
• Enhancing overall body proportions

Implant Options and Techniques

De La Cruz Plastic Surgery offers both saline and silicone gel breast implants, each with unique advantages. The practice specializes in the dual-plane technique, which provides natural-looking results with reduced complications.

Dual-Plane Technique Advantages

• Partially covers implant with chest wall muscle
• Creates more natural breast appearance
• Reduces implant visibility and rippling
• Minimizes risk of capsular contracture

Surgical Approach

Dr. De La Cruz typically performs breast augmentation using minimal incisions (2.5-3.5 cm) with multiple placement options:

• Inframammary (under the breast)
• Transaxillary (armpit)
• Periareolar (around nipple)

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to work within a week. Surgical scars will gradually fade over months to years, and patients can expect natural-feeling, proportionate results.

Potential Complications

While complications are uncommon, patients should be aware of potential risks such as capsular contracture, implant rupture, and changes in nipple sensation. Regular monitoring is recommended to ensure long-term breast health.
