Breast Augmentation
Many women who are unhappy with the symmetry, fullness, or volume of their breasts may benefit from a breast augmentation surgery. This surgery, also known as an augmentation mammaplasty, is the placement of breast implants to improve the shape and volume of the breasts. The best candidates for breast augmentation procedures are those who want to:- Increase their breast size due to naturally small breasts (often genetic).
- Improve volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss.
- Achieve symmetry when natural breasts are disproportionate.
- Improve their self-confidence and the appearance of the breasts.
- Reconstruct the breasts after mastectomies.
During an initial consultation appointment where Dr. Shelton will provide a physical examination and a medical background history, patients can ask questions they may have regarding this surgical procedure. The best candidates for treatment are those who have realistic expectations of the surgery, are ready to handle several weeks or months of recovery, and have given plenty of thought to the benefits this surgery can provide. Patients must be of good overall health, both physically and emotionally.
Women are happy with the results of their breast augmentation. The results are extremely long lasting, and patients feel as though they can wear clothes and swim wear they once thought impossible. Patients have an increased feeling of self-confidence, which can improve their business and personal lives. Over time, as women age, they may notice changes in their breasts. Breast implants can be replaced in the future, and patients can consider breast lifts and other procedures to enhance their appearance as changes occur in the body.
