BREAST IMPLANTS & AUGMENTATION DALLAS, TX

In many cultures, a full breast size is the standard of beauty for women. Therefore many women seek to gain more confidence in their appearance with a fuller bust. Breast implants can help a woman with naturally small breasts or one who has lost volume in their breasts due to pregnancy or weight loss.  Since breast shape and size cannot be altered by exercise or other natural methods, women choose to enhance the size and shape of their breasts with breast augmentation surgery.  Breast Augmentation also helps correct asymmetry of the breasts.

Dr. Warren J. Katz offers breast implants at his Dallas cosmetic surgery office. Dr. Katz, with over 30 years of experience, uses the most advanced techniques and latest breast implant technology.  Thereby, providing his patients with fuller breasts and improved self-esteem.

WHAT IS BREAST AUGMENTATION?

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure involving the insertion of implants to enlarge and shape the breasts. Either saline or silicone breast implants are used depending upon the needs and desires of the patient.

To perform the procedure, standard incisions are placed around the areola (periareolar), in the crease beneath the breasts (inframammary) or through the armpit (axillary). Once the incisions are made, Dr. Katz places the implant beneath the breast tissues, either above or below the muscle covering the chest wall. Implant placement is determined, in part, by the patient’s desired look and appearance of the breasts and by the individual’s body type.

During the complimentary consultation Dr. Katz consults with the patient about what changes they want to see.   Dr. Katz can then determine the size, shape and look that not only fulfills their desires but achieves the best aesthetic result. Using this information, Dr. Katz  selects the implant with the best size, shape and consistency to achieve a fabulous end result.

Surgery and Recovery

Breast augmentation surgery is performed on an outpatient basis using IV Sedation at Dr. Katz’s state-of-the-art Dallas surgical facility.  Typically, the procedure takes 1.5 to 2 hours.  After surgery, the patient is sent home to recuperate. Patients may experience some discomfort as the breast tissues recover, but minimal pain medication is required. Most of Dr. Katz’s breast implants patients are able to return to work and resume most regular activities within four days of surgery. However, strenuous activities involving the upper body should be avoided for a few weeks after the procedure.

Follow-up appointments are scheduled with each patient in the weeks after surgery to ensure that the healing process is going well and that complications do not develop.

How Can I Choose the Right Cup Size for Me?

Choosing the correct breast implant size can be a tough decision. It is important to note that “cup size” is not necessarily the most accurate measure because cup sizes tend to differ between bra manufacturers. Instead, your plastic surgeon will discuss desired implant size in terms of ccs (cubic centimeters), generally ranging from 240 to 1,000.

During the pre-op consultation, Dr. Katz discusses your goals to better understand your ideal look and aspirations for your breasts. Dr. Katz will take into account your body size, body type, and characteristics of the breast tissues to suggest a course of action. While the decision, ultimately, is yours, it is important to understand Dr. Katz’s recommendations. His expertise over the years allows him to provide a true sense of what leads to the most natural-looking result with the quickest and easiest recovery.  For example, if you attempt to take on a breast implant size that is too large, your risk of tissue damage and overstretching increases greatly. On the other hand, if you choose an implant size that is too small, you may be dissatisfied with the results.

How Do I Know if I Need a Breast Lift?

The factors to determine if you need a breast lift in addition to a breast augmentation are determined by the nipples and your skin laxity. If your nipples are below the level of your breast fold or if the skin appears as if it has begun to hang or droop, you might want to consider a breast lift. If you need a lift and choose against one your implant may appear to sit too high on the chest in regards to the nipple or will not provide you with the desired youthfulness or volume.  A complimentary consultation with Dr. Katz can determine the necessity of a breast lift.

How Often Do I Need to Replace My Breast Implants?

The answer to this question varies greatly from patient to patient. Some patients get lucky and their implants last for the rest of their lives. Others (about 20% of patients) will experience leaking or deflating within the first seven to 10 years.

Can I Get Cleavage from a Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is designed to improve the size and shape of your breasts. Typically, if you have breasts that are close together, they will remain close together and if you have breasts that are naturally far apart, they will remain far apart after the procedure.

Will I be able to Breast-feed after a Breast Augmentation?

Depending on the type of procedure, breast augmentations may or may not affect breast-feeding. If you have functioning breast tissue prior to the procedure you should be able to continue breastfeeding. An incision around the nipple increases the risk of not being able to breastfeed. During your consultation, Dr. Katz will discuss your current or future pregnancy goals to tailor the procedure to your desired lifestyle.

What Are the Risks Involved with Breast Augmentation Surgery?

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved with breast augmentation surgery.  Many risks can be partially mitigated by choosing an experienced plastic surgeon. Potential complications include:

• Adverse reaction to anesthesia
• Bleeding
• Scarring
• Infection
• Loss of sensation in the nipple
• Implant rupture or necessity for revision surgery
• Not being able to breastfeed

Who is NOT a Good Candidate for a Breast Augmentation?

Patients that may not be a good candidate for breast augmentation include:

• Patients with an active infection or ongoing health issues
• Women that are currently pregnant or breastfeeding
• Children under 18 since the breasts have not fully developed
• Women with unrealistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure
