Technology Innovations: Breast Enlargement
June 28th, 2011
As I mentioned last week, I attended the Technology Innovation in Plastic Surgery Conference in San Francisco. I believe that new techniques and technologies in field of cosmetic surgery will change dramatically in the next five years.
Some of these new innovations involve carefully harvested fat injections. A promising procedure involves using fat harvesting for breast enlargement. Liposuction fat is transferred from one area to anther after it has been specially processed. Augmenting the breast with the body’s own fat first became popular in the 1980’s. Initially, both ASPS and ASAPS urged caution. The current procedure has been perfected and gives patients another option when considering breast enlargement.
In the past, there were concerns whether fat injections may calcify, or harden, and interfere with traditional mammograms and breast cancer screenings. 

More recently, radiology literature suggest that new generations of digital mammography is more sophisticated and better able to distinguish troublesome cells.
Some noteworthy facts about this innovative procedure include needing only pinpoint marks at the injection sites, because no incisions are made in the breast. Patients are also free to discard implant rupture concerns and benefit from reduced risk of breast firmness or numbness. However, more than one procedure might be required to achieve the desired result and this new fullness may fluctuate with weight gain or loss.
This series continues.

I had my first breast enlargement with Dr. Bashioum approximately ten years ago. As I am coming up on age 50, I decided to have a second enlargement for a little extra confidence. Initially, I was going to “shop around” but as soon as I was in the office for my consultation I was reminded immediately of how caring the staff is and how comforting Dr. Bashioum is with any and all concerns. The decision to have Dr. Bashioum perform my second surgery was a very easy one. My surgery was done two months ago. The entire experience was pleasant and everything went as planned. And yes, I am very pleased with the results and would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Bashioum to family and friends. Hats off to you and your team of professionals!
