Possible Breast Augmentation Options

The decision to move forward with a breast augmentation is deeply personal and intimate. You don’t want just anyone seeing or operating on your breasts after you’ve spent years debating over their shape, fullness, or height. 

The body is not perfectly symmetrical and neither are our parts, even if they come in twos. So, as we develop breasts they may not come in the way we’d hoped. Or, as we age, complete the process of pregnancy, or breast feed; time and gravity cause them to take on a pendulum quality that causes us to find them less appealing than they once were. But, there are options as you choose to move forward, in comfort and in pride. You want to be satisfied but excited about the glands leading you through this life. Is there anyone better to help you with that than a surgeon who understands the female form and function inside and out? 

A gynecologist who also performs breast augmentation is ideal for a lot of women. You may feel more comfortable discussing in detail how and why you’d like to improve the appearance of your breast in order to receive more specified results. 

Most plastic surgeons have an area of specialty that they excel at and understand all of the equipment, techniques, and methods for achieving a certain number of results. A gynecologist who performs these surgeries becomes familiar with several ways to achieve a woman’s desired results. They make inventive use of the breast lift, fat transfer, and the more popular implant placement. Through the means of an initial consultation and examination you and your surgeon will determine which procedure will achieve similar results to a look you once possessed or the look you are going for. 

Breast augmentation is usually synonymous with saline or silicon implants. However, augmentation only defines the amplifying alteration, not necessarily the means by which it is achieved. First, the breast lift procedure occurs predominately when a woman with very large breasts seeks to have the heavy and low breasts and nipples repositioned. 

During this procedure, depending upon the size of the breasts, several techniques may be chosen from to remove a section of the lower breast and the remaining skin rejoined to form a higher tauter shape. The nipple is also then removed and positioned higher on the new breast mounds. Second, the fat transfer process can occur if there is sufficient fat elsewhere in the body to be harvested for the relocation. 

The fat transfer can help to plump up one’s natural breast with one’s natural tissue to facilitate adherence. Lastly, the use of implants can be used in the same ways to create fuller and larger breasts for a more impactful appearance. It’s important to keep in mind that with breast augmentation there are as many options of sizes and techniques as there are body types and preferences.
