Breast Augmentation for an Athletic Figure

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the breasts using implants. This procedure is ideal for women seeking to improve breast volume lost due to weight loss or pregnancy, achieve better symmetry, or enhance their natural breast size. At Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery, we offer both saline and silicone implants, allowing you to choose the option that best fits your aesthetic goals and lifestyle. The process involves inserting implants through small incisions, which can be made in various locations depending on your preference and the specifics of your surgery.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation

No matter if you’ve felt insecure about your breasts all your life or due to recent changes in your body, we have a solution for your concerns. Breast augmentation in the Vero Beach & Pompano Beach area at Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery offers numerous benefits that go beyond physical enhancement, including the following:

  • Increased Volume and Fullness: Enhance breast size to achieve a more proportionate figure.
  • Improved Symmetry: Correct asymmetry and achieve a balanced, natural look.
  • Youthful Contour: Restore lost volume for a more youthful breast shape.
  • Enhanced Confidence: You can enjoy feeling more self-assured with your newly enhanced curves.
  • Customized Options: Choose from various implant types, sizes, and shapes to match your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
  • Comprehensive Care: Benefit from our integrated approach, combining surgical excellence with attentive post-operative care for optimal outcomes.

Types of Breast Implants: Saline vs. Silicone

Choosing the right type of implant is crucial for achieving your desired results. Here’s a brief overview to help you make an informed decision:

Saline Implants

These implants are filled with sterile salt water. They are inserted empty and then filled once in place. They require a smaller incision and offer a firm feel.

Silicone Implants

These implants are filled with silicone gel, which tends to feel more like natural breast tissue. They come prefilled and require a slightly larger incision.

At Ocean Drive, we have an exclusive on-site breast implant inventory. During your consultation, you can feel different implant types and sizes, ensuring you are confident in your choice before surgery.

Breast Augmentation Techniques

Learn about the multiple incision options. When it comes to placing breast implants, there are multiple incision options, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Learn more so you can make an informed decision:

  • Inframammary: An incision made in the crease between the chest and breast, offering excellent control and a well-hidden scar.
  • Periareolar: This is an incision at the border of the nipple and the skin, best for women with lighter skin tones. It is less common due to visibility concerns.
  • Endoscopic-Assisted Transaxillary: A minimally invasive approach with no incision on the breast, ideal for those wanting to avoid breast scars. Recovery may be longer.
  • Umbilical Approach (TUBA): Not commonly used as it only accommodates saline implants.

Breast Augmentation Recovery & Results

Recovery from breast augmentation requires careful attention to post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. Initially, you may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which are normal side effects of the surgery. Our team provides detailed post-operative care instructions and pain management techniques to ensure comfort. Most patients can resume light activities within the first week, but strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks to promote proper healing.

The breast augmentation results are immediate, with the final results becoming more apparent as the swelling subsides. You will notice enhanced breast volume and improved overall body contours. With proper care and maintenance, breast augmentation results can be long-lasting, allowing you to enjoy your enhanced appearance for many years.
