Ideal candidates for breast implants are individuals who are:

• Physically Healthy: Free from serious medical conditions that could impact healing or the procedure's success.
• Realistic in Expectations: Understand the potential results and limitations of breast augmentation.
• Looking to Achieve One or More of the Following Goals:
  • Increase breast size for a fuller appearance.
  • Improve breast symmetry for a more balanced look.
  • Restore breast shape and volume lost due to pregnancy, weight loss, or previous surgery.

It's important to consult with a qualified surgeon to determine if breast implants are the right choice for your goals and overall health.

Breast implant surgery typically involves some level of discomfort and pain, especially in the first few days after the procedure. Most patients report soreness, swelling, and tightness in the chest area, which gradually improves over time. Pain management options, such as prescribed medications, are usually effective in reducing discomfort. Recovery experiences vary depending on the individual, the type of procedure, and the surgical technique used.

Swelling can take several weeks to months to fully subside, revealing the final outcome of your surgery.

It typically takes 3-6 months for breast implants to settle into their final position. Initially, during the first 1-2 weeks, the implants may sit higher on the chest. By weeks 3-6, they gradually settle and take on a more natural appearance. Over the following 2-6 months, the implants soften and achieve their final shape.

There are two common types of breast implants used in breast augmentation surgeries, each offering unique characteristics and benefits. Here's an overview of both types: 

1. Round Shape Breast Implants: 

   Round shape breast implants are symmetrical, with the same shape and volume all around, resembling a flattened sphere. 
    

   Benefits: 

• Fullness: Round implants tend to provide fullness and volume to both the upper and lower parts of the breast, resulting in a rounder and fuller appearance.
• Versatility: Round implants can be used for various aesthetic goals, including increasing breast size, enhancing cleavage, and achieving a more prominent projection. 
• Lower risk of rotation: Due to their symmetrical shape, round implants are less prone to rotation within the breast pocket. 
   

2. Anatomical Shape (Teardrop) Breast Implants:

   Anatomical shape breast implants, also known as teardrop implants, have a tapered, natural-looking silhouette with more fullness at the bottom and a gentle slope towards the top, akin to the shape of a natural breast.
    

   Benefits: 

• Natural appearance: Anatomical implants are designed to mimic the shape of a natural breast, providing a more anatomically correct contour and a natural-looking result.
• Sloped projection: The teardrop shape of anatomical implants can create a more gradual and natural projection, especially in the lower pole of the breast. 
• Suitable for thin patients: Anatomical implants are often preferred for patients with minimal breast tissue or those seeking a subtle enhancement with a natural outcome. 
   

Choosing between round shape and anatomical shape breast implants depends on several factors, including your aesthetic goals, existing breast anatomy, tissue characteristics, and preferences. During a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon, you can discuss your desired outcome and receive personalized recommendations based on your individual needs. Ultimately, both round and anatomical shape breast implants can achieve beautiful and natural-looking results in breast augmentation surgery. 
 

Your plastic surgeon will guide you in selecting the most suitable implant type and size to help you achieve the aesthetic outcome you desire.
 

It is a sophisticated technique that combines elements of both submuscular and subglandular placement to achieve optimal results for certain patients. In a dual plane breast augmentation, the implant is positioned partially under the muscle (submuscular) and partially under the breast tissue (subglandular) to address specific anatomical considerations and achieve the desired aesthetic outcome. Key points about dual plane breast augmentation include: 

Benefits: 

• Improved natural contour: Dual plane placement allows for a more gradual slope of the upper breast, providing a natural-looking result. 
• Reduced risk of implant visibility: By utilizing the dual plane technique, the implant can be strategically positioned to minimize the risk of visible rippling or implant edges. 
• Enhanced cleavage: The dual plane technique can help enhance cleavage by optimizing the position of the implant relative to the chest muscles and breast tissue. 
• Indications: Dual plane breast augmentation is often recommended for patients who have a combination of breast tissue, muscle tone, and desired aesthetic goals that may benefit from this specialized placement technique. Candidates with mild breast ptosis (sagging) or asymmetry may also be suitable candidates for dual plane breast augmentation to achieve improved breast shape and symmetry. 

Procedure: 

During dual plane breast augmentation, the surgeon carefully creates pockets for the implants, with the lower part of the implant positioned beneath the muscle and the upper part under the breast tissue. - The dual plane technique allows for more precise sculpting of the breast shape and positioning of the implant to create natural-looking results while addressing individual anatomical considerations. 

Recovery: 

Recovery from dual plane breast augmentation is similar to that of other placement techniques, with temporary discomfort, swelling, and restricted physical activities. 

Following post-operative instructions, wearing supportive garments, and attending follow-up appointments are crucial for optimal healing and long-term results. Dual plane breast augmentation is a specialized technique that requires expertise and experience in breast augmentation surgery. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is skilled in this technique can help you determine if dual plane breast augmentation is the right choice for achieving your desired aesthetic goals and optimal results

1. Submuscular Placement:

   Submuscular placement involves positioning the breast implant beneath the chest muscle (pectoralis major muscle). This technique offers several advantages, including:

   • More natural-looking results: Placing the implant under the muscle provides better coverage and a more natural slope to the upper portion of the breast.
   • Reduced risk of capsular contracture: Submuscular placement may lower the risk of developing capsular contracture, a complication where scar tissue around the implant tightens.
   • Better support and protection: The muscle adds extra coverage and support for the implant, reducing the risk of implant visibility or rippling.

2. Subglandular Placement:

   Subglandular placement involves positioning the breast implant above the chest muscle but beneath the breast tissue. This placement option offers several benefits, such as:

   • Faster recovery: Subglandular placement typically results in a quicker and less uncomfortable recovery period compared to submuscular placement.
   • Potential for more pronounced cleavage: Placing the implant above the muscle may help create a more defined cleavage line in some cases.
   • Reduced risk of muscle distortion: Subglandular placement avoids potential muscle distortion that can occur with submuscular placement.

Your plastic surgeon will consider several factors when determining the appropriate plane for breast implant placement, including your anatomy, desired outcome, tissue characteristics, and personal preferences.

During a consultation, your surgeon will discuss these options with you and recommend the most suitable placement based on your individual needs and goals. It's essential to have a thorough discussion with your plastic surgeon to understand the benefits and considerations of each placement option. This ensures that you make an informed decision that aligns with your aesthetic objectives and results in the best possible outcome for your breast augmentation surgery.
