Breast Augmentation in Waukesha, WV

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size, improve symmetry, and restore volume. This transformative surgery uses FDA-approved silicone or saline implants placed strategically above or below chest muscles.

Reasons for Breast Augmentation

• Enhance naturally small breasts
• Restore volume after weight loss
• Recover breast fullness post-pregnancy
• Improve breast symmetry
• Boost self-confidence

Procedure Overview

Breast augmentation typically involves placing implants through small incisions beneath the breast, around the nipple, or under the arm. Most procedures take approximately two hours and are performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia.

Candidacy for Breast Augmentation

Ideal candidates are individuals who are self-conscious about breast size, shape, or symmetry. FDA guidelines recommend saline implants for patients 18 and older, with silicone implants approved for patients 22 and older.

Post-Operative Considerations

Patients can expect some initial swelling and soreness following the procedure. Surgeons typically provide specific post-operative instructions, including activity restrictions and medication guidelines. A follow-up appointment is usually scheduled 6-8 weeks after surgery.

Procedure Popularity

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast augmentation has increased by 45% since 2000, with over 300,000 procedures performed annually. The majority of patients are between 17 and 55 years old.
