Breast Augmentation Orland Park, IL | Evan T. Manolis M.D.

Understanding Breast Augmentation Procedures

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breasts. Patients choose this procedure for various personal and medical reasons, including restoring breast volume after pregnancy, improving body symmetry, and enhancing overall body proportions.

Breast Augmentation Candidacy

Potential candidates for breast augmentation may include women who:

• Feel their breasts are disproportionately small
• Have experienced breast volume loss after pregnancy or weight changes
• Struggle with clothing fit due to breast asymmetry
• Want to improve self-confidence in clothing and swimwear

Implant Options: Saline vs. Silicone

Saline Implants

• Silicone shell filled with sterile saltwater
• Inserted unfilled and adjusted during surgery
• Easier to correct volumetric asymmetries
• Slightly higher chance of deflation

Silicone Implants

• FDA-approved gel-filled implants
• Pre-filled with silicone gel
• More natural feel
• Typically longer-lasting

Consultation Process

During the initial consultation, Dr. Manolis will discuss comprehensive details including aesthetic goals, medical history, and implant selection. Patients should be prepared to discuss medical conditions, current medications, previous surgeries, and family breast cancer history.

Customized Surgical Approach
