What is Breast Augmentation?

Bountiful Confidence

Breast augmentation continues to be one of the most common cosmetic surgeries in the United States. Far from a one-size-fits-all enhancement, the breast augmentation procedure is completely tailored to the patient’s individual needs to provide the perfect amount of added volume and craft beautiful contours that flatter your figure.

Breast Augmentation With Implants

The implant route to augmentation lets you choose from a range of implant types, shapes, and sizes. Depending on your preferences, either a silicone or saline implant may be a good option. Saline implants are filled with a sterile saline solution, while silicone implants are composed of a cohesive silicone gel. Each type of implant comes in many different sizes. Dr. Molina will use various methods to help you envision your results and select implants to help you achieve the exact look you seek.

Breast Augmentation With Fat Transfer

A simple technique known as autologous fat transfer enables you to enhance your breasts with your body’s own fat tissue. Fat is collected from a donor area elsewhere, such as the abdomen or thighs, and meticulously injected into the breasts to increase their volume and accentuate their shape. Fat transfer is an excellent option for breast augmentation patients seeking more natural-appearing results without implants.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Size isn’t the only concern women have about their breasts. Aging, pregnancy, and weight changes can cause the skin and tissue of the breasts to sag. In mastopexy, or breast lift surgery, excess skin is skillfully reduced, and the breasts are tightened and lifted up higher on the chest. A breast lift can be performed alone or in combination with breast augmentation for those who want added fullness.

Breast Implant Removal

If your breast implants have reached the end of their lifespan or you simply do not want them anymore, Dr. Molina performs breast implant removal. Typically, incisions are created along the lines used for the original implant surgery, and expert techniques are used to minimize visible scarring. In the case that an implant has ruptured, Dr. Molina will carefully remove all implant material as well as any existing scar tissue or capsules. A breast lift or a breast augmentation with fat is often combined with implant removal surgery for those who want to keep the fullness they had with their implants.

Breast augmentation may be performed as a stand-alone procedure, or it may be incorporated into combination approaches such as a Mommy Makeover or Gender Affirmation Surgery.

Aesthetic Issues Addressed by Breast Augmentation

Boost Your Confidence

Breast augmentation is a versatile procedure designed to address various aesthetic concerns. Whether you are looking to enhance naturally small breasts, restore volume lost due to weight changes or pregnancy, or achieve a more balanced figure, breast augmentation can help you achieve your goals. This procedure can also correct asymmetry and improve the overall shape and proportion of your breasts, providing a more harmonious appearance.

Silicone vs Saline: A Detailed Comparison

Which is Better?

When considering breast implants, one of the crucial decisions is choosing between silicone and saline implants. Both types have unique benefits and characteristics:

Safety

Both silicone and saline implants are FDA-approved and considered safe for breast augmentation. Saline implants contain a sterile saltwater solution, which is harmlessly absorbed by the body in case of a rupture. Silicone implants are filled with a cohesive gel that mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. Modern silicone implants are designed to stay in place even if the shell breaks, minimizing the risk of leakage.

Feel and Look

Silicone implants are known for their natural feel and appearance, closely resembling real breast tissue. Saline implants, while effective, may feel slightly firmer and are more prone to rippling, especially in women with thinner breast tissue.

Cost

Generally, saline implants are slightly less expensive than silicone implants. However, the choice should be based on your aesthetic goals and Dr. Molina's recommendations rather than cost alone.

What Size Breast Implants Should I Choose?

Size Matters

Choosing the right implant size is a personal decision influenced by several factors:

Body Frame: Your body frame and existing breast tissue play a significant role in determining the appropriate implant size. Dr. Molina will assess your body proportions to ensure a natural and balanced outcome.
Lifestyle: Consider your lifestyle and activity level. Larger implants may impact physical activities such as sports or exercise.
Desired Outcome: Your aesthetic goals are paramount. Whether you seek a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic change, Dr. Molina will help you choose an implant size that aligns with your vision.

What are the benefits of Breast Augmentation?

A Balanced Physique

Many women pursue breast augmentation to achieve a more balanced or proportionate figure, enhancing their overall appearance. For our patients in Brooklyn breast augmentation can also help reverse loss of breast volume due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss, restoring and accentuating the breasts’ appearance.

Patients tend to love their results, expressing that their breasts help them embrace new confidence and enjoyment of their bodies. Advanced techniques make it possible to customize one’s breast size and shape to align with personal preferences and aesthetic goals. After a breast augmentation Brooklyn patients' results are very long-lasting: fat transfer offers permanent results, while implants in good condition are approved for ten years and often last much longer. Pursuing breast augmentation is a completely personal choice. For those who decide to take this path, the results can be an empowering source of self-confidence, providing benefits in every area of life.

Your Breast Augmentation Procedure

Meticulous Approaches

The details of your surgery will depend on many factors, such as the selected breast augmentation method and your various individual needs and goals for your results. At a pre-op appointment, Dr. Molina will review details, including anesthesia administration, incision placement, the length of surgery, and all necessary aftercare arrangements.

You will be comfortably asleep for the duration of the procedure. Dr. Molina’s surgical techniques will revolve around the needs of your surgery and focus on providing natural-looking results with minimal scarring. When your procedure is complete, we will monitor you in a comfortable recovery room as the effects of the anesthesia wear off to ensure your safety before returning home. Most patients return home the same day of their procedure in the company of a friend or family member to drive them.

Breast Augmentation Recovery and Aftercare

Recover Beautifully

In many cases, you may need to wear a surgical bra or compression garment to minimize swelling and provide support to the newly augmented breasts. Properly balancing rest and activity is crucial during the initial days and weeks following surgery. Brooklyn plastic surgeon, Dr. Molina, will provide guidelines on gradually returning to your normal activity levels. Most people can resume light activities within about two weeks and strenuous activities within one month. Make sure to attend all follow-up appointments, and always contact our office immediately if you have questions. We prioritize providing attentive support during the recovery period to ensure the best possible results.

Breast Augmentation Results

A Bolder You

As post-procedure swelling fades, your results will refine and be yours to enjoy for years. You may experience new confidence in your body and enjoy a broader range of clothing options that let you embrace your unique style.

Breast implants are approved to last up to a decade, but many individuals find they last longer, providing a semi-permanent figure enhancement. The results of breast augmentation with fat transfer are permanent. The body will absorb a small amount of the transferred fat early on, an expected process that is offset by adding slightly more fat than is required to provide lasting enhancement. Our team will work carefully alongside you every step of the way to provide a surgical outcome that aligns beautifully with your vision for your most confident body.

Breast Augmentation Frequently Asked Questions

Where will the incisions be made?

The most common incision locations are inframammary incisions in the natural crease beneath the breasts and periareolar incisions around the border of the areolas. The choice of incision location depends on different factors and will be discussed at your pre-operative consultation.

Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?

Yes, it is generally possible to breastfeed after breast augmentation surgery, but there are some considerations to keep in mind. Implants can be inserted underneath the breast tissue (sub-glandular) or behind the chest muscle (submuscular). Implants placed behind the muscle are less likely to interfere with milk production and breastfeeding. Some women may experience temporary or permanent changes in nipple sensitivity, which can affect breastfeeding latch and milk ejection reflex. The type of breast implant may also influence breastfeeding. Saline implants are typically considered safer than silicone implants because if they were to rupture, the saline solution would be harmlessly absorbed by the body.

It's essential to communicate your desire to breastfeed with your surgeon during the consultation. A skilled surgeon like Dr. Molina can take steps to minimize the impact of breast augmentation on breastfeeding, such as choosing implant placement and incision techniques that are less likely to interfere with milk production. However, individual results can vary, so it's important to be prepared for the possibility of some challenges and seek appropriate support if needed.

Can breast implants correct sagging breasts?

While breast implants can add volume, they do not correct significant sagging. A breast lift may be necessary to achieve a lifted, youthful contour.

Are breast implants safe?

Yes, both saline and silicone breast implants are FDA-approved and considered safe. Regular check-ups and imaging tests can help monitor the condition of your implants.

How long do breast implants last?

Breast implants are designed to be long-lasting, with many lasting 10 to 20 years or more. Regular monitoring and follow-ups with your surgeon are essential to ensure their longevity.
