Breast Augmentation in Issaquah

Are you considering having breast augmentation? You are not alone, as many women are unhappy with the size of their breasts. It could be that you have always had small breasts, the changes you are seeing due to pregnancy and breastfeeding, or the changes due to age. Women who lose a significant amount of weight will also notice how their breasts are much smaller than they used to be. There are many reasons for breasts to diminish in size.

At Newvue Medical, our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. George Min, is here to assist with your concerns about small breasts. Having breast augmentation in Issaquah is no longer only for women who want huge breasts. Women often want to improve the shape and bring back some of the fullness of earlier years. Natural enhancement without going overboard with size can be important for breast surgery as you want your breasts to look like they belong to your size body.

Implant Augmentation Options

In the past, your only decision to make was whether you preferred saline or silicone-filled implants. Today, there are a variety of implants available in Issaquah for breast augmentation. Each has its pros and cons. As long as you feel clear about what you want for an outcome, our staff will be able to help you make the right decision.

Saline implants (a silicone shell containing sterile saline) tend to be rounder than silicone implants. They are a popular choice. They tend to be bold, so they may not be the right option if you are looking for a more natural appearance. Any risks from saline implants leaking or rupturing are minimal because your body will safely absorb the saline.

Silicone implants (a silicone shell containing a silicone gel) are quite different from saline implants. Most are in a teardrop shape, which makes them look more natural. The texture and feel of these implants are life-like. Silicone implants are lighter in weight so active women may prefer them. If this type of implant leaks or ruptures, some of the silicone gel may escape into your breast tissue. Some of the gels, depending on the brand, are thick enough that they would only rarely move out of the implant.

Gummy Bear implants are one of the newest versions of silicone breast implants. The textured surface of this implant has the ability to adhere to your breast tissues so that they are much less likely to move. If this type of implant develops a hole or tears, the silicone gel inside rarely, if ever, comes out. Gummy Bear implants are known for retaining their shape. Some women feel that these implants are too firm because of the thickness of the silicone gel.

Other Breast Augmentation Considerations

There are different ways to place the implants. Sometimes, placement of the implant under the pectoral muscle will garner better results than placement of the implant on top of the muscle. Dr. Min will discuss your options and answer any questions you have. He will help you understand the differences between various options so that you can make a well-informed decision. It is important that you understand the likely outcome of your surgery.

Breast augmentation surgery can be combined with other breast improvements, such as a breast lift. Dr. Min uses his many years of experience and training to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. He knows how to put a group of breast surgery changes together to give you the outcome you are looking for.

Another method of breast augmentation involves using fat taken from another area of your body to plump up your breasts. Fat is harvested from an area of your choosing by liposuction. The fat is prepared and then injected into your breasts to increase their size. If you are worried about placing foreign material into your breasts, this could be a good option for augmentation in Issaquah.
