Good Candidates for Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation is a highly individualized procedure. There are several factors plastic surgeons consider before classifying patients as good candidates for breast augmentation. Here are just a few:

Dr. Sanders hears from many moms who simply want to look the way they did before they had kids, undoing some of the unwelcome side effects of pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing. In many women, this is largely achievable through breast augmentation.

Women who are currently suffering from infections or health conditions that inhibit their ability to heal properly, may not be suitable candidates for breast augmentation. Dr. Sanders and his team will take stock of each patient’s medical history, prioritizing overall health and safety above all else.

One of the most common reasons to seek breast augmentation is because the breasts are asymmetric in size. If you have one breast that is notably larger than the other, Dr. Sanders can explain your options for achieving a more harmonious, even appearance.

Patients must be 18 years old for saline implants and 22 years old for silicone implants.

A Unique Approach to Breast Augmentation

Dr. Sanders uses the “dual plane” placement method, a method that places the implants partially under the muscle (with the top of the implant under the pectoral muscle and the bottom of the implant in front of the pectoral muscle). This implant placement method provides a more natural slope to the upper part of the breast.

The dual plane method also results in less discomfort than placing the implant completely behind the muscle. Placing the implants behind the muscle as opposed to in front of the muscle also results in a lower risk of capsular contracture (contraction of the scar tissue around the implant, causing breast to harden) and traction rippling (folds or wrinkles in the implant that are visible through the skin) after surgery.


Choosing An Implant For You

Both silicone and saline implants are available in various sizes and shapes, according to the patient’s personal preference. Both types of implants require minimal incisions, with the silicone implant requiring a slightly longer incision than the saline implant. Both silicone and saline implants can be placed through inframammary (breast fold) or periareolar (along the lower areolar border) incision areas. The incision scars are barely noticeable and easily concealed either just under the areola or by the breast fold. The transaxillary (underarm) approach does not allow for as precise a placement of the implant as do the inframammary or periareolar approaches. For this reason, Dr. Sanders does not favor the transaxillary incision.

Types of Breast Implants

Saline

Saline implants are available in different shapes and sizes, making it easy for Dr. Sanders to customize an implant to the patient’s needs and goals. Saline implants are empty when inserted into the breast and are then filled with a salt water solution to give them volume. Because of this, saline implants typically allow for smaller surgical incisions.

Smooth

Whether patients choose saline or silicone, they can get their implants with either a smooth or a textured outer shell. Smooth-shelled implants are round in shape and are the more popular of the two options. They wrinkle less than textured implants, which is important for women with small breasts.

Silicone

Silicone implants differ from saline implants in that they come pre-filled with a silicone solution; this material is meant to simulate the texture and feel of natural breasts. Some women prefer silicone implants because they offer a more realistic feel and appearance. These implants can require a slightly larger incision and are only available to patients 22 and older.

Textured

Textured implants are also available with both saline and silicone breasts. These implants have a rougher exterior than their smooth counterparts and are designed to better adhere to the natural breast tissue. As such, textured implants have a slightly lower risk of inadvertent repositioning. Also, textured implants are available in either round or tear-drop shapes.
