What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, also called augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast size, improve shape, or restore volume lost due to aging, pregnancy, or weight changes. The surgery typically involves placing implants under the breast tissue or chest muscles.

This procedure can help:

• Enhance breast symmetry
• Improve body proportions
• Restore breast fullness after pregnancy or weight loss
• Boost self-esteem and confidence

Dr. Espinoza uses advanced techniques to ensure results look natural and harmonious with your body.

Types of Breast Implants

Choosing the right implant is a key part of breast augmentation. There are two main types of implants:

• Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saltwater, these implants offer a uniform shape and can be adjusted during surgery. They are FDA-approved and provide a natural feel.
• Silicone Implants: Filled with silicone gel, these implants feel more like natural breast tissue. They are popular for their soft, natural appearance and come in various shapes and sizes.

Dr. Espinoza offers personalized consultations to help you select the implant type that best fits your body and aesthetic goals.

The Breast Augmentation Procedure

The surgery usually takes about one to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Espinoza carefully plans the incision location and implant placement to minimize scarring and optimize results.

Common incision options include:

• Inframammary (under the breast fold)
• Periareolar (around the nipple)
• Transaxillary (in the armpit)

Implants can be placed either:

• Subglandular (above the chest muscle)
• Submuscular (below the chest muscle)

Each option has benefits depending on your anatomy and desired outcome. Dr. Espinoza’s expertise ensures the best approach for your unique case.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery times vary, but most patients return to normal activities within a few weeks. You may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort initially. Following Dr. Espinoza’s aftercare instructions is essential for a smooth recovery and optimal results.

Tips for recovery include:

• Wearing a supportive surgical bra
• Avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for several weeks
• Attending follow-up appointments to monitor healing

Dr. Espinoza’s team provides compassionate support throughout your recovery journey.
