What is a Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation involves the insertion of saline- or silicone-filled implants to enlarge, enhance or balance your breasts. This procedure, also known as mammoplasty, is often chosen by women to: Increase the fullness and projection of their breasts Improve the symmetry of their figure Boost their self-image and self-confidence

For more than 25 years, women across the Houston region — including residents of Spring and The Woodlands — have brought these concerns to Dr. Joseph M. Perlman at Advanced Plastic Surgery Centre. By carefully listening to their body issues, he has helped thousands of Texas patients reach their aesthetic goals with breast augmentation in Houstpn.

Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation in Houston? If you experience one or more of the following, then you may be a good candidate for Houston breast augmentation: You are bothered by the feeling that your breasts are too small. Clothes that fit well around your hips are often too large at the bust line. You feel self-conscious wearing a swimsuit or form-fitting top. Your breasts have become smaller and lost their firmness after having children. Weight loss has changed the size and shape of your breasts. One of your breasts is noticeably smaller than the other.

Dr. Perlman's board-certified skills have boosted the confidence of many Houston breast enlargement patients. He understands that small, flat or oddly shaped breasts can negatively affect your body's contour, chipping away at your happiness and self-esteem.

How Do I Select Breast Implants?

There are a number of factors to consider when selecting the ideal implants for your Houston breast augmentation. Dr. Perlman has cultivated a reputation as one of the Houston area's top plastic surgeons, working with women to make sure they are getting the breast size and shape they desire. He can guide you through these decisions and make recommendations based on your individual body type and aesthetic preferences.

Here are some aspects to consider when you are undergoing breast augmentation in Houston:

Saline or silicone breast implants?
Saline is a sterile water solution, and silicone is an elastic gel. At Advanced Plastic Surgery Centre, 60 percent to 70 percent of our mammoplasty patients choose the gel over the saline. This is because silicone has a softer feel and less incidence of rippling.

What's the appropriate breast implant size?
Some women prefer a dramatic and sexy look, but many others opt for subtler enhancement when they undergo breast augmentation in Houston.

Which implant profile do you want?
High-profile implants are designed to project the breast farther than moderate-profile or moderate-plus implants.

It is important that you realize that implants differ in shape for a number of reasons. There is no "one size fits all" rule nor is there a "one shape fits all" rule in breast augmentation. For example: Mentor and Inamed, the two leading breast implant manufacturers, offer smooth implants, textured implants, implants with different profiles (projection), volume adjustable implants, saline filled, silicone gel filled and double-lumen saline/gel implants. A 350 CC implant inflated to 380-400 cc could give a projection of 3.9, 6.2 or 6.9 cm depending on the type of implant. If your chest is narrow, a high-profile implant will give more projection with a narrower base than a moderate profile implant. An anatomic (tear drop) implant gives more projection in the lower portion of the breast.

When you meet with Dr. Perlman, he will talk with you about your goals for a breast augmentation in Houston. He will ask for your desired size and shape and then assess you to determine what implant will help you achieve the look you want.

What is the Process for Breast Augmentation in Houston?

A breast augmentation in Spring is one to two hours long and usually requires general anesthesia. Your surgeon will create an incision in either the fold under the breast, the bottom edge of the areola or the armpit. He will then place the saline or silicone implant behind the breast tissue or underneath the muscles of the chest wall, depending on the individual needs and desires of the patient. The incisions are closed with layered sutures in the breast tissue and with sutures, skin adhesive or surgical tape to close the skin.

What Does Recovery Entail After Breast Augmentation?

Following breast augmentation in Spring, the chest area will be covered with surgical dressings. You are likely to feel soreness and swelling for a few weeks. Most patients return to work about a week after their Spring breast augmentation.

Dr. Perlman will give you specific instructions about which activities to limit or avoid during the healing process. It is vital that your follow his advice so you can maximize your recovery time.
