Female breasts are a symbol of femininity, fertility, and empowerment. And the desire to increase breast size is not a modern convention. Breast augmentation history dates back to 1895, when the first successful breast surgery was performed to reconstruct a breast after a mastectomy. [1]

Since then, numerous ways to enhance breast contours have been developed. However, it wasn’t until silicone implants were developed in the early 1960s that breast augmentation solidified itself as a safe, efficient way to boost the breast profile. Today, patients have even more choices at their disposal to enhance their breasts and transform their appearance. Breast augmentation is an extremely personal decision. Dr. Albert counsels each of his Boca Raton Breast Augmentation patients closely during the process to ensure that they receive implants that best fulfill their desires and suit their body.

Your Breast Augmentation Options

Implant Types

Silicone gel implants remain the most popular option in breast implants. These are now designed with multiple exterior layers to reduce the risk of rupture or leakage and are pre-filled with gel for a natural weight and feel. Today’s gummy bear implants are a popular silicone implant that offers the most realistic alternative to natural breast tissue available – but with all the sexy perks! Even when cut in half, the silicone gel remains in place, eliminating the risk of leakage.

Saline implants are filled with a sterile saltwater solution during surgery and are an appealing and safe way to add volume to the chest. Modern synthetic breast implants exist are safer and more realistic than ever and offer multiple features that ensure that nearly any woman’s preferences are satisfied.

Size & Projection

It’s easy to know what cup size you’d like to be, and most women do. However, knowing what size implant will get you there isn’t so easy. Luckily, Dr. Albert and his staff help patients translate cubic centimeters (CCs) into the breast size that’s best.

There are so many sizes available; there’s sure to be one that’s perfect for you. Another important decision is projection. Whether you prefer something high-impact or are hoping for a more subtle change, it all comes down to projection. This is what determines how far your breasts “project” from your chest. It’s not simply the size that matters with your implants. There’s also the consideration of projection. Breast Augmentation implants have different projections based on how much an implant projects forward from the chest wall when the person is standing. Implants with a smaller base width provide greater projection as compared with implants with a wider base.

Implants are low profile, moderate profile, and high profile. Low-profile implants would be good for women with wider chests, moderate implants for women with smaller or narrower chests, and high-profile implants best for petite women who have a narrow chest wall. During consultation appointments, Dr. Albert and the patient review before and after pictures from previous patients to decide what is the best fit for their body. Only after extensive collaboration will Dr. Albert and the patient decide on a range of sizes. These conversations will take into account lifestyle, profession, family and social life, and the sport or leisure activities the patient enjoys.

What to Expect

Breast Augmentation Preparation and Procedure

Preparation

Choosing to undergo a Breast Augmentation is an extremely personal decision, and Dr. Albert and his staff do everything they can to ensure patients are well-prepared and know exactly what to expect. Dr. Albert will provide pre-surgical instructions and ongoing support to patients after their consultation. Completing this pre-op list before treatment ensures optimal surgery, recovery, and results.

  • Pause smoking at least three weeks before and after surgery. Smoking increases your risk for delayed healing, inadequate blood flow to the surgical area and can possibly compromise your results.
  • Discontinue certain medications such as NSAIDs and other blood thinners.
  • Arrange to be picked up from our Boca Raton office by a designated caregiver.
  • Plan to take one to three days from work to recover.
  • Fill medications prescribed by Dr. Albert before your surgery.

Procedure

Breast augmentations are highly customized procedures, and so is the anesthesia that makes it a safe and comfortable operation. Patients may be administered general anesthesia, IV sedation, or local anesthesia to optimize their comfort. Dr. Albert takes every precaution to ensure that implants are safely placed and that any risk of infection is minimized. This includes using nipple shields to prevent the spread of bacteria, a Keller funnel during implant placement, and chlorhexidine to ensure that all surfaces and tissues remain sterile during the procedure. Dr. Albert will perform the determined incision method according to your preferences and the implant being used.

What Types of Incisions are There?

Breast Augmentation Incision Options

Inframammary Incisions

Small incisions are made underneath the breast fold or the axilla so that an implant can be inserted under or over the pectoral muscle.

Transaxillary

Transaxillary incisions avoid making an incision around the breast. Instead, patients will have an incision made in the underarm or armpit. Once the incision is made, Dr. Albert will guide the implant toward the breast pocket.

Periareolar

The periareolar technique reduces visible scarring by making an incision on the lower half of the areola. Then, an implant will be secured in place either underneath or above the breast muscle.

Transumbilical Breast Augmentation

Transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) makes tiny incisions on the inside edge of the belly button. Surgical tools create tunnels underneath the skin that allows an endoscope and deflated saline implants to pass through to each breast pocket. Then, saline is used to inflate the implants to the desired dimensions. [3] Once the implants are secured in place, Dr. Albert will close the incisions with dissolvable sutures.

Dazzling, Long-term Results

Breast Augmentation Recovery, Results, and Aftercare

Most women naturally have slightly asymmetrical breasts, and carefully selected implants can resolve any irregularities. Many other surgeons use implants of two different sizes to correct asymmetry. However, this approach is not ideal. Different-sized implants have a different “footprint,” which can further contribute to asymmetry.

Dr. Albert has a unique approach to resolving asymmetrical breasts and often will perform liposuction or utilize other techniques in order to reduce the size of the larger breast and create enhanced and balanced results. Whether you’re going for a modest, natural look or a more stunning outcome, with a Breast Augmentation Boca Raton patients can improve their breast aesthetic and self-confidence! Today’s breast implants are more durable than ever and can stay in place safely.

Minimal Recovery Time

Recovering from a Breast Augmentation is a standardized process that takes about six weeks. But as soon as a week after your surgery, your symptoms will improve, your new look will come into view, and you’ll be able to resume your daily activities. Patients are given extensive counseling as to what to expect during their recovery.

Recovery

After surgery, you may feel a little disoriented from the lingering effects of anesthesia, so it is essential to have a caregiver to drive you home and look after you for the first day. It is also vital to concentrate on healing. While you will be prescribed medications to resolve your post-operative symptoms, most of our patients are able to get by with over-the-counter medications.

Additional Reading

Because of Dr. Albert’s expert approach, most patients experience discomfort rather than pain during this crucial part of their recovery. The discomfort, stiffness, swelling, and discoloration should be gone within a week. You’ll need to continue wearing your surgical bra to protect the new shape and curvature until instructed otherwise, and you’ll be instructed on how to perform postoperative massages to ease your recovery. You should be OK’d to return to non-strenuous activities within a week. Movements that require more effort can be resumed within six weeks. We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to keep track of your progress during the first month of your recovery. If you can’t make it, we can also arrange for a virtual visit.

Results

Once your symptoms improve and the implants settle into place, you’ll be able to start celebrating your results! You’ll be able to enjoy breasts that suit your body and lifestyle and are beautifully shaped. Patients are highly encouraged to have an MRI or ultrasound performed every 5 to 6 years as recommended by the FDA. These screenings help to ensure that your implants remain in good condition.

Maintaining your Breast Augmentation results

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, nearly 200,000 procedures were performed in the US in 2020, despite a global pandemic.
