UNDERSTANDING BREAST AUGMENTATION

At St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery, breast augmentation is a premier
procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of
breasts. Women seeking to improve their breast appearance trust the
expertise of our board-certified plastic surgeons, who specialize in
creating beautiful, natural-looking results.

CANDIDATE QUALIFICATIONS

Ideal breast augmentation candidates include healthy non-smokers who:

 	* Desire improved breast size and shape
	* Have minimal breast sagging
	* Want to address breast asymmetry
	* Seek to improve body proportions

IMPLANT OPTIONS

SALINE IMPLANTS

Saline implants are placed empty and then filled with sterile
saltwater solution. This technique allows for smaller incisions and
provides the advantage of visible deflation if rupture occurs.

SILICONE IMPLANTS

Pre-filled with cohesive gel, silicone implants closely mimic natural
breast tissue. These implants offer a more natural feel and are less
prone to visible rippling.

IMPLANT PLACEMENT TECHNIQUES

 	* Sub-glandular placement: Between breast tissue and pectoral
muscles
	* Sub-muscular placement: Beneath the pectoral muscles

INCISION OPTIONS

 	* Inframammary: Along the breast fold
	* Periareolar: Around the areola
	* Transaxillary: Within the armpit crease

RECOVERY EXPECTATIONS

Most patients experience initial tightness and soreness for 48 hours.
Swelling typically peaks by day 3-4, with most individuals feeling
ready to return to work within a week. Full recovery and exercise
resumption generally occur around 6 weeks post-procedure.

BREAST AUGMENTATION BENEFITS

 	* Enhanced breast size and symmetry
	* Improved body proportions
	* Increased self-confidence
	* Customizable aesthetic results
