Your Breast Augmentation and Breast Implant Surgery
Breast size is very important to many women. One plastic surgery procedure that can help is breast augmentation with breast implants. Breast augmentation with breast implants increases the fullness and projection of your breasts and improves breast asymmetry. Breast augmentation with breast implants can improve the overall balance in your body's figure, enhancing your self image and self confidence. It is also a procedure that can restore breast volume after weight reduction or pregnancy. In addition, breast implants can be used for reconstructive purposes to restore a breast that has been lost due to breast cancer, injury to the breast, congenital breasts deformities, and other reasons.
There are various techniques used in breast augmentation with breast implants. First, there is a choice of incisions and placement position of your breast implants with breast augmentation. The breast implants can be placed with a small incision in the armpit, by the areolar, or underneath the crease of the breast. The breast implants can also be placed either above or underneath the muscle. Secondly, there are various choices of breast implants with your breast augmentation. There are different shapes of breast implants (round breast implants vs. teardrop shaped breast implants). There are different surfaces on the breast implants (smooth shell breast implants vs. textured breast implants). There are different profiles of breast implants (moderate, moderate plus, and high profile). There are also different volume sizes in the breast implants. All of these decisions about breast augmentation with breast implants can be made with help by your plastic surgeon.
One new development in breast augmentation surgery is the recent re-approval of silicone gel breast implants for cosmetic breast augmentation. In February of 1992, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) restricted the use of silicone gel breast implants in purely cosmetic breast augmentation. There was concern that over a period of time the exposure to the silicone in the breast implants could lead to the development of medical illnesses. After many years of litigation over the silicone gel breast implants and subsequent extensive research on the silicone breast implants, it was found that the silicone gel breast implants did not lead to the development of medical illnesses. These studies were based on a large multi-center, double blinded study where they compared two groups of people, patients with silicone gel breast implants to the normal population. The silicone breast implant study followed the two groups for many years and tracked the development of any medical issues. The findings on this silicone breast implant study showed no difference in the development of medical problems between the silicone breast implant group and the normal population group.
Breast augmentation is a highly individualized procedure. Choosing to have breast augmentation with breast implants is a very personal decision. Every patient's body and breasts are unique and different. In addition, every patient's desires and goals are unique and different. By giving his personal attention to every detail, Dr. T. Y. Steven Ip aims to create the best possible breast augmentation result for your body.
