Benefits of Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation can offer many benefits beyond increasing cup size. Many women seek this surgery to enhance their body confidence, balance their figure, or restore volume and breast tissue that may have diminished over time. For others, it is about correcting natural asymmetry or bringing their body into balance with our doctor’s skillful approach, patients often report a significant boost in self-esteem and satisfaction with their body image after surgery. Additionally, modern techniques and implants offer long-lasting and natural-feeling results that complement each patient’s figure.
Breast Augmentation Options
At JanigaMDs, Dr. Timothy Janiga offers a variety of options to ensure the results align with each patient’s vision.
Breast Implant Types
Patients can choose between silicone gel implants and saline implants, both FDA-approved and designed for safety and a natural look and feel. Silicone breast implants are known for their realistic texture, while saline breast implants allow for smaller incisions and volume adjustments. Silicone implants can be made with different cohesiveness of silicone from more firm to more pliable and you should talk to Dr. Janiga about which implant cohesiveness is best for you.
Implant Shapes and Sizes
Whether you prefer a subtle enhancement or a dramatic transformation with saline or silicone implants, our doctor will guide you through selecting the right size and shape for your breast implant surgery. As an added tool, at JanigaMDs we use the 3-D imaging software, Vectra which allows you to “try on” the different types of implants with a 3-D image of your body projected onto a screen. This helps patients choose from the different types of implants available to find their best “fit”. Options include round implants for fuller upper breast volume, high projection implants for a perkier look, moderate or low projection for a more natural look, or anatomical (teardrop-shaped) implants for a more natural contour.
Incision Locations
Depending on your anatomy and preferences, incisions for your breast surgery can be placed in discrete areas such as under the breast crease (inframammary), around the areola (periareolar), or under the arm (transaxillary). These options are designed to mask the incisions.
Placement of Implants
Implants can be placed above or below the muscle during your surgical procedure depending on your desired look and body type. During your consultation, Dr. Janiga will discuss the pros and cons of each placement option.
Complementary Procedures
Implant insertion can be paired with a breast lift for patients experiencing both a lack in volume and sagging skin in their chest area. If a combination procedure is necessary to accomplish your goals, Dr. Janiga will explain this during your consultation.
What to Expect During Breast Augmentation Surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is performed under general anesthesia in our fully accredited surgical facility Mountain West. The procedure typically takes one to two hours, and most patients can return home the same day. Recovery requires a few days of rest and a gradual return to normal activities within a couple of weeks. Our team provides comprehensive post-operative care to ensure a smooth healing process and optimal results. Patients who undergo breast augmentation plastic surgery can notice an increase in confidence after their breast implant procedure.
