If you’ve decided to enhance your breasts, you may be unsure which procedure is right for you. Because multiple breast surgeries are available, it’s essential to understand each one and what they are designed to accomplish. During your consultation with Dr. Macias at his Marina del Rey office, he will discuss your goals and provide you with information on which procedure will best suit your needs.
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase the size of a woman’s breast. This is achieved through implants or fat transfer. The procedure can help even out any size disparity between the breasts and increase the cup size.
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures today. A breast augmentation is typically performed by placing a breast implant inside the breast. The incision can be made in one of three places: inframammary (along the breast crease), periareolar (around the areola), and trans-axillary (within the armpit). During your consultation, you’ll also be able to select your implant type. There are three types of breast implants: saline, silicone, and silicone gel. The type of implant you choose will vary based on your goals and budget. Some women may also choose to have a fat transfer to their breasts which involves taking fat from one body area and transferring it to the breasts. This can result in a more natural shape.
As we age, our bodies can exhibit natural changes. For women, this can include sagging or drooping in the breasts. This can also occur after weight loss or childbirth. A breast lift is a surgical procedure designed to correct drooping breasts and lift them to your desired position.
The first step is to create an incision in one of the following locations:
Through the incision, your doctor will be able to contour and reshape the breast tissue that is sagging. They will also be able to reposition the nipple and remove any excess skin if necessary.
It is also possible to combine the two procedures to get a more full and lifted look. If you are interested in either procedure contact Dr. Macias today to schedule a consultation and discuss which option is best for you.
