Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast Enlargement with Breast Implants

Breast augmentation is one of the very most popular plastic surgery procedures in the United States. Through placement of breast implants, women have been able to achieve changes in their figure (breast enlargement / breast enhancement) that otherwise would have been impossible.

In spite of their overwhelming popularity (here comes the bad news), breast implants have limitations. Breast augmentation surgery will not improve nipple asymmetry, move your breasts closer together, lift droopy breasts, or remove stretch marks. In order to determine whether breast augmentation surgery is for you, you must weigh the risks and the benefits of breast augmentation. This site will explain a lot about breast augmentation surgery, including silicone gel breast implants, cost of breast augmentation, and recovery of breast augmentation surgery.

Photos of others who have had breast augmentation are helpful, but nothing compares to using sizers to help you select implant size. Along with the all-important size decision are several other decisions you and your plastic surgeon will need to make before surgery. Take your time with these pages, as they contain a lot of helpful information.

Also be sure to visit Tips for Getting the Best Results from your Breast Augmentation to help you minimize your risks, expedite your recovery, and get the best possible results.

Be sure to visit FAQs, questions to ask your plastic surgeon, and Breast Blog, where you will have access to a variety of commentary by Dr. Loftus.

To help understand the evaluation and operation for breast augmentation, Dr. Loftus has posted videos of the live operation being performed in her private operating room on an actual patient. Be sure to watch the video showing how Dr. Loftus performs a breast augmentation operation. In it, you will see a number of things that are difficult to appreciate without the use of video, including how the implants are placed, how saline implants are filled, and other issues. Another video shows how women are evaluated prior to breast augmentation to determine whether they are good candidates for the operation.
