Breast Augmentation Paramus NJ

Breast augmentation surgery helps our patients make a curvaceous bust line, improve their confidence, and overall body shape. Our breast implant procedure can restore volume in smaller breasts by enlarging them to an optimal size by putting a type of implant in each breast. Lack of breast volume can be from childbearing, weight loss, aging and more.

 

Many of these people start to consider breast augmentation in Paramus NJ. Are your breasts flat or deflated-looking? Are your breasts of noticeably different sizes? Are they starting to lose their battle with gravity and beginning to sag? These sorts of issues can have a very real impact on your self-confidence, your love life, and even your general happiness. And no matter what you do, the older you get, the more the problem progresses, which is why many opt for a breast augmentation.

Nothing can change the genetics of an inherited smaller bust line. Plus, all “natural” bust enhancers are either temporary, wildly overstate their effectiveness, or flat-out don’t work – that’s why none are approved by the FDA. Your best bet for long-lasting larger breasts with a natural look and feel is surgical breast augmentation.

According to a survey study published in a recent edition of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Medical Journal, 225 women were asked about their breast augmentation results. A staggering 98% reported that their implants results “met or exceeded their expectations,” with over half rating their breast augmentation results a perfect 10 out of 10!

Breast augmentation, known in medical terms as an augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that:

• Enhances the size or volume of the breasts
• Improves the breasts’ shape
• Restores fullness to the breasts
• Corrects breast asymmetry
• Provides a subtle lift for mildly sagging breasts
• Allows you to feel more womanly and sexier

Due to the high satisfaction rate of breast implants, safety and effectiveness, breast augmentation for breast mass and shape is the most popular cosmetic plastic surgery procedure in the country. Some 300,000 breast augmentation procedures are performed every year, reports the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BREAST IMPLANTS?

SALINE IMPLANTS

As the name implies, these implants are filled with saline, a sterile saltwater solution. This kind of implant is filled after it is inserted into the body, allowing a minor adjustment in size during your surgery to achieve the aesthetic outcome you want with these saline implants. In the rare event of rupture and deflation, the saline can be easily absorbed by the body unlike gel implants.

That being said, these implants may not be the best option for women with naturally smaller breasts, thin skin or little breast fat. This is because it could increase the risk of visible rippling below the surface of your breast tissue or skin.

SILICONE IMPLANTS

More closely matching the look and feel of natural breast tissue than saline implants, silicone implants are much less prone to visible rippling below the skin. This type of implant is more pliable because the cohesive silicone gel feels much like a soft “gummy bear”. Ask our plastic surgery specialist about how to get gummy bear implants, also known as gumdrop implants. Other types of breast implants take fat deposits from other parts of your body to initiate a fat transfer to your breasts.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BREAST IMPLANT INCISION PATTERNS?

PERIAREOLAR

The incision location is made around the outer edge of the areola, along the lower border and results in barely visible scarring, since it is camouflaged well by the darker coloring of the areola. Unfortunately, it might not be an option for women with smaller areolae. The ability to breastfeed after the procedure may be compromised, so if you’re concerned about that you may want to consider another incision placement.

INFRAMAMMARY

This incision location is made horizontally, within the natural crease where the breast meets the body. This crease is known as the inframammary fold. While a short scar results, this incision placement makes positioning of the implants easier.

TRANSAXILLARY

A short incision is made in the armpit, where the resulting scar remains well hidden. It is considered a good option for the placement of saline implants. However, it can make the positioning of the implant more difficult.

WHAT ARE MY BREAST IMPLANT PLACEMENT OPTIONS?

SUBGLANDULAR BREAST IMPLANTS

This involves placing the implant below the breast gland tissue, but on top of the chest muscles. This placement may not be ideal for saline implants because of their known issues with visible rippling and wrinkling, which can be a concern for women with thin skin or too little fatty breast tissue to properly cover and support the implants.

SUBMUSCULAR BREAST IMPLANTS

In this placement method the implant is positioned below the breast gland tissue and partially below the chest muscles. Also known as dual plane, this option comes with a slightly more intense recovery period, but may be the best choice to help cover the implants properly.

Studies show that it can also reduce the chances of a small number of complications, including capsular contracture (a hardening and tightening of the scar tissue around the implant that can lead to a rupture).

If you’re not sure which one to get, speak with our breast augmentation surgeon to learn more about how your body frame, breast size and shape should all be taken into consideration, as well as your desired implant size.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING AND AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY?

Unlike other, more generalized surgeries such as abdominoplasty, a breast augmentation procedure is highly customizable to your own breasts’ anatomy and personal goals of the implants. The details of your specific breast implant surgery will be based on the options you and your plastic surgeon will have discussed during your consultation. In all cases, the procedure will be performed at The Saddle River Valley Surgical Center.

The exact length of the breast augmentation surgery varies depending on the type of implant and technique employed, but it usually lasts no more than one to three hours, and doesn’t require an overnight stay. You’ll be able to go back home after a short period of observation under the dedicated care of our staff right after you get your implants. Although we provide a comfortable room in which you can recover, most of our breast augmentation patients appreciate the fact that they can return to their home on the same day as their surgery.

While you may notice some swelling in the weeks following your operation of breast implants, our post-operative instructions will help you speed up the natural healing process. Since our primary concern is your safety and satisfaction, we also like to take things one step further by scheduling several post-op appointments. These allow us to keep a keen eye on your healing, as well as address any concerns you may have about your implants. Our treatment plan after breast augmentations are the best in Bergen County.

Your first follow-up appointment will be a day or two after your surgery, with a PA or nurse. Dr. Breslow will then see you a week later, a month later, 3 months later, and finally one year after your surgery. You can set additional follow-up appointments after a year, and until you’re completely comfortable with your results and experience.

If you have any bruising, discomfort, soreness that last longer than expected during your healing, or any other weird symptoms, our plastic surgeon is only a phone call away. If you have any adverse affects to the medication afterwards, especially during bedside manner, you can contact your doctor or our staff and we’ll help you as our patient.

The beauty of breast implants is that they still look great as you age. The aging process isn’t easy, but your figure and self-image of yourself will be higher with breast implants.

Before considering breast implants if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, you should ask your doctor about whether you should hold off.

FIVE TIPS FOR A SPEEDY BREAST AUGMENTATION PROCEDURE RECOVERY

1. Before you even come in for your breast surgery, try to make sure your life for the next few weeks will be as simple as possible.

Make your meals in advance. Bring things down from high shelves so you won’t strain yourself trying to reach them. If you feel like it will bother you during your recovery, clean the house before your surgery. Lay out your clothes ahead of time, and make sure to choose shirts that don’t have to be pulled over your head. You’ll appreciate the effort later.

2. Try to massage your new implants every 2 hours while you’re awake as you recover, if we recommend this to you.

Effectively moving your new implants around as the surrounding tissue heals helps to keep the scar tissue capsule that forms as generous as possible, minimizing the chances of significant contracture and a rupture.

3. You’ll need to sleep with your head elevated for 2 weeks (a beach chair works great), and on your back for 6 weeks.

If you find a beach chair to be too uncomfortable to sleep in, you can sleep in bed; just be sure to pile several pillows under your head, and at least 1 or 2 under your knees. This position helps prevent unnecessary swelling.

4. After 6 weeks you can start using silicone sheeting or scar cream.

Your breast incisions should be fully closed before you start doing this. These products are available at our office: our staff can advise you on which ones to use, depending on the incision pattern.

5. Stay positive! It may be a cliché, but it’s a cliché for a reason.

Your state of mind can have a profound impact on how your body handles the stress of breast augmentation surgery and recovery from breast implants — even scientific studies have shown that thinking positively helps! A positive attitude is an important part of any speedy recovery.
