Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures performed today. Over time, factors such as age, genetics, pregnancy, weight changes, sun exposure, and gravity can cause the size and shape of the breast to change. The experts at Byrd Aesthetics & Anti-Aging Center can give you the voluptuous breasts that you once had or always dreamed of.
Candidates for Breast Augmentation
- Women who are dissatisfied with the size of their breasts
- Asymetrical breasts that do not match in appearance
- Breasts that lack volume
Types of Implants
Breast implants differ by shape, texture, and profile. Breast implants may be round or contoured, and may have a smooth or textured surface. The breast implant profile may be standard, moderate, or high. Lastly, breast implants vary by size, or volume. The type, style, and size of breast implants you choose are determined by your lifestyle, body contours, the amount of breast tissue you have, and the cup size and appearance that you would like to achieve.
- Saline implants are made of a silicone shell and are filled with sterile saline solution, or salt water. Sterile saline solution has the same salt concentration as the body, which means that the solution presents very little health risk.
- Silicone implants (approved by the FDA in 2006), are made of a silicone shell and are filled with silicone gel. There is no significant evidence that suggests silicone implants increase your risk for breast cancer, connective tissue disorders, or autoimmune disease.
