Breast surgery can help you achieve a symmetrical and more feminine profile. Your breast size and shape are typically determined by genetics. Life circumstances, such as pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and age, can change the size and shape of your breasts. These changes sometimes cause asymmetry, so one breast is larger than the other. We encourage you to call our office and schedule a consultation to discover how breast augmentation in Bothell can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Breast augmentation typically uses implants to create fuller and bigger breasts. This improves the appearance of breasts that are small, sagging, or uneven. It can also restore volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss fluctuations. Breast augmentation provides a more proportional body size, especially when women in Bothell have larger hips but smaller breasts.
During the procedure, different-sized implants can be used to correct an asymmetry that may have occurred with pregnancy or weight loss. This creates a more balanced and youthful appearance. Finally, enhancing breast size can change how clothes fit and offer you a broader range of fashion choices. Overall, the procedure can boost your self-confidence and self-esteem and make you feel more comfortable with your body.
There are four different types of breast implants. Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water. These implants are placed empty and then filled to the size you desire. If the implant leaks, it collapses, and the saline is naturally absorbed and expelled by the body.
Silicone implants feel more like natural breast tissue. If a silicone implant leaks, the gel typically stays within the implant or stays within the breast implant pocket. Gummy bear implants maintain their shape even if the implant’s shell breaks. The gel is thicker than traditional silicone gel implants. These structured saline implants are filled with sterile salt water but have an inner structure that makes them feel more natural.
Breast implants can either be placed above or below the chest wall muscle. Subglandular placement puts the implants behind the breast tissue but above the chest wall muscle. There is typically a shorter recovery time and less post-operative discomfort. However, it can also result in a visible implant edge, especially in women with smaller natural breasts. Sub-muscular placement positions the implant under the pectoral muscle. This offers a more natural appearance, lowers the risk of capsular contracture, and lengthens the recovery.
Implants can be round or teardrop-shaped. Round implants tend to make the breast appear fuller, and they are less likely to rotate out of place when compared to teardrop-shaped implants. The outer shell of the implants can either be smooth or textured. Smooth implants move within the implant pocket. This provides a more natural movement, and these typically have a softer feel. Textured implants develop scar tissue to help the implants stay in place. Finally, you and your plastic surgeon can choose the implant size that dictates the final size of your breast tissue.
People in Bothell considering breast augmentation should generally be in good health. Any underlying medical conditions that could increase the risk of complications during surgery must be addressed. This includes uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes or poorly controlled heart disease.
It is important to have realistic expectations of what the surgery can achieve and the time it takes to recover. You must be able to take enough time from work and have a support system to help with care if you have small children or pets while you are recovering. We highly recommend that you have achieved your goal weight before surgery. Weight fluctuations can change the way your breasts look.
