Breast Augmentation Philadelphia

Breast augmentation, known by its technical term as augementation mammoplasty, is a type of cosmetic surgical operation designed to increase the volume of the breast (usually by one or two bra cup sizes) and enhance its shape.

There are many reasons a woman would choose to have a breast augmentation, but usually it is due to the breasts losing their shape, volume and firmness after excessive weight loss, child birth or simply due to age. This procedure can also be performed on women who simply are dissatisfied with the size and shape of their breasts and are over the age of 18, when breasts have typically stopped their development.

There are many procedures that fall under the spectrum of breast augmentation; but generally your Philadelphia plastic surgeon will make an incision around the nipple of under the crease of the breast and the skin and tissue of the breast are then lifted to create a pocket large enough to accommodate the breast implant. This implant is inserted either directly beneath the muscle of the chest wall or simply under the tissue.

The size and placement of the incision will depend largely on what type of implant you choose for your breast augmentation. The most common option for breast implants are saline, in which a silicone shell is inserted and then filled with saline solution requiring a smaller incision. However, you also have the option for silicone filled or gel filled which come already in their final and sealed form. Because of this, the incision tends to be slightly larger to accommodate placement and manipulation by the doctor.

The advantages to having a breast augmentation are numerous and personal: a boost to self-esteem and confidence, a relatively quick return to all normal activities, and when discussed ahead of time your surgeon can position your implants in such a way that breast feeding will still be possible should you desire children. Also with medical advancements, the risk of breast cancer and autoimmune diseases associated with the implant are minimal.

There is, however, the possibility of negative side-effects to having a breast augmentation such as loss of sensation in the nipple and/or breast itself, rippling, tightness, and even the rupturing of the breast implant itself.

As with any medical procedure, a breast augmentation is a major cosmetic surgery and must be taken seriously. Discuss your concerns with your Philadelphia plastic surgeon, as well as what your aesthetic goals are. Only you and your doctor can determine the best course of action for meeting your needs of having a safe, long-lasting and healthy breast surgery.
