Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a procedure that enlarges the breasts with the use of breast implants. This procedure offers women the ability to address breast size and dissatisfaction by increasing fullness  and projection of the breasts by improving the balance of the figure, which ultimately enhances self-image and self-confidence. 

There are many types and styles of breast implants currently available for breast augmentation. These include low, moderate or high projection implants, smooth or textured surface implants, silicone or saline implants, round or tear-drop (anatomical) implants and almost any combination of the above listed varieties.   We can help you choose the implant best suited to your own particular needs. These implants are often placed behind the breast tissue and the pectoralis major muscle.

Silicone filled implants are again available for breast augmentation after years of testing to support their safety. They offer the advantage of improved softness and less wrinkling. However, the results in respect to the appearance of the breast after surgery, whether the breast is augmented with silicone or saline implants, is similar.

Upon your first visit our office, you will be given all the necessary information about breast augmentation. You will meet the doctor of your choice: Dr. Jacobs, Dr. Alspaugh or Dr. Denk and he will examine you, advise you, and answer all of your questions.  You then have the opportunity to try on different implant sizers to help you choose the most appropriate volume for your goals. We provide implants of various sizes that are placed within the bra cup in an effort to estimate the appropriate size implant for your surgery.  It is helpful to bring clothing that accentuates your figure to try on over the implant sizers.
