Breast Augmentation Savannah, GA | Dr. John D. Paletta, MD

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size, shape, and symmetry. Patients seek this procedure for various reasons, including cosmetic enhancement, reconstructive purposes, and addressing asymmetrical breast development.

Types of Breast Implants

Dr. John D. Paletta offers two primary breast implant options:

• Saline Implants: Silicone shells filled with sterile saltwater
• Silicone Gel Implants: Silicone shells filled with plastic gel

Surgical Procedure Details

Breast augmentation typically requires 1-2 hours under general anesthesia. The surgical approach depends on individual patient anatomy, implant type, and desired enhancement.

Surgical Technique

The surgeon creates strategic incisions in one of three locations:

• Under the breasts
• Under the arms
• Around the nipples

Potential Risks and Considerations

While breast augmentation is generally safe, patients should be aware of potential risks, including:

• Changes in breast and nipple sensation
• Potential scar tissue formation
• Rare risks of bleeding or infection
• Possible implant rupture

Recovery and Post-Surgical Care

Patients can expect a gradual recovery process. Dr. Paletta recommends avoiding heavy lifting for up to 6 weeks and following specific post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing.
