Are Breast Enlargement Results the Same?
June 18th, 2015
Are all breast enlargement surgery results the same? I frequently get this question in my office. The short answer is no. Each plastic surgeon has a particular aesthetic or individual style for how they do surgery, resulting in a specific “look” after surgery. My practice has been built on the natural appearance that I strive to give to my patients. While this is not every patient’s desire, the majority of my practice finds a natural result to be important. An effective way to evaluate a surgeon’s results is to look at Before/After photos.
According The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Breast Augmentation surgery, commonly referred to as breast enlargement or “boob job” remains #1 in the Top 5 ranking for the most requested cosmetic procedures for last year. More than 286,200 women chose to have this surgery. These statistics are consistent with my practice. It’s important to note that there are several choices for breast enlargement including silicone or saline implants and using the new technique of Lipo-Fat Grafting. I recommend that patients should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to understand all available options when considering a breast enlargement.
Can Breasts be Restored After Pregnancy?
June 4th, 2015
Wondering about what can be done to restore breasts after physical changes due to pregnancy and nursing? Meet our patient, Jennifer, who graciously shared her own personal experience in a short Documentary Film (video located bottom of page). Jennifer candidly discusses considering and deciding to have breast enlargement restoration surgery following the birth of her children. Her story is typical of patients we see that are unhappy with the physical changes that may occur following pregnancy and is considered part of the Mommy Makeover surgeries. Breast restoration surgery might include breast enlargement, breast lift or the newest technique called Nipntuck Natural ® lipo-fat injections to increase breast fullness that’s often lost following pregnancy.
