Many women are unhappy with the size of their breasts, making breast surgery one of the most sought-after plastic surgeries. Having breast augmentation is not only for those women looking to have extra-large breasts. It can help with naturally smaller breasts and breasts that look deflated due to the changes of pregnancy and breastfeeding, significant weight loss, or aging.
Most women having breast augmentation are looking to improve the shape of their breasts and bring back the fullness they had at a younger age. Natural-looking enhancement without going beyond normal-sized breasts can be important to your overall body image. Having breast augmentation in Redmond can help bring balance to your entire body silhouette. Dr. George Min, our board-certified plastic surgeon at Newvue Medical, understands what you want and knows how to make the improvements you are looking for.
Many women know that there is more than one type of breast implant, but how do you choose which one you want? Some women are worried about certain types of implants because of problems they have heard about. As long as you know your desired final look, our team will be able to help you make the right decision on which implant will be best for you. We will discuss the types of implants and answer all your questions.
Saline implants contain sterile saline inside of a silicone shell. They tend to be rounder and are a popular choice. They make a bold statement, so they are not for everyone. If you are looking for a more subtle change but prefer saline implants, we can customize the size to fit your needs. A main advantage of saline implants is that if they leak, your body will safely absorb the saline.
Silicone implants are the other major choice of breast implants. Within this category, there are a variety of options. Silicone implants contain specially formulated silicone inside a silicone shell. Many women like the teardrop shape because it looks more natural. The texture and feel of these implants tend to be more life-like than saline implants. Today’s silicone implants are much safer than older implants because the silicone inside is thick enough that if a hole occurs in the outer shell, the silicone gel filling will rarely leak much.
Gummy Bear implants are one of the newest silicone breast implants available. They offer a textured surface that helps it stay in place. These implants are known for keeping their shape, even if a hole occurs, but the drawback is that the silicone gel in these implants can make them too firm for some women.
Another method in Redmond of breast augmentation does not require artificial implants. Fat can be transplanted into your breasts to increase their size. This can be a win-win situation as the fat will come from an area on your body that you would like to slim down. Liposuction is used to harvest the fat that will be moved. It is carefully prepared and then injected into your breasts. This type of breast augmentation is perfect for any woman who is worried about placing a foreign material into her body. The results can look quite natural.
Placement of implants can be done in different ways. The implants can be placed completely under your pectoral muscles (upper chest wall muscles), completely on top of your pectoral muscles but under your own breast tissue, or under the pectoral muscle fascia. Dr. Min will be able to help you determine which type of placement will give you the breast augmentation results in Redmond you are looking for. He will answer all your questions as you are making plans for your surgery. It is always important that you understand what is going to happen and what changes to expect. Our practice uses the Vectra 3D Imaging System to show you the expected outcomes. It can simulate how you will look with different implants and surgical techniques so that you can choose the procedures that best suit you.
In order to reach your aesthetic goals, it may be best for you to combine a breast augmentation with a breast lift or other procedures. As you explain your concerns and goals, Dr. Min can recommend the surgical techniques that can reach your goals. Each of your breasts may require different procedures to end up with relatively identical breasts that meet your expectations.
Breast implants can be used to even out the size of your breasts. Your body is not identical, and many women have different sized breasts. This can mean that you might only augment one breast or that the size of the implants used will be different for each breast.
