Breast Enlargement – It’s a Personal Choice

Breast enhancement surgery is one of the most popular forms of cosmetic surgery today. Breast augmentation, technically known as augmentation mammoplasty is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of the breasts by using breast implants.

Advances in breast implant technology and surgical techniques make breast augmentation a safe option among women of all ages wanting to enhance their physical appearance. The size and shape of breasts can often alter after childbirth or with age and many women elect to have breast surgery to help give them a better figure and boost their confidence. Most importantly, the wide-ranging reasons are both personal and valid.

If you are considering breast augmentation, we hope you will fully investigate the options available to you. Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has again approved silicone implants after removing them as an option for many years. The decision to reintroduce silicone implants was not made lightly and is the result of an overwhelming amount of evidence proving their safety and reliability. Dr. Mok and Dr. Kotlus have been certified by major silicone implant manufacturers since their reinstatement.

. Traditional saline implants are also available and can be a good option for some women. During your initial consult Dr. Mok or Dr. Kotlus will discuss which options are right for you.

Different Women, Different Expectations

Each woman has a different vision of her expected outcome. In addition to an array of implant choices, including silicon or saline and high, medium or low profile, candidates for breast enhancement have important decisions to make before undergoing breast augmentation.

Dr. Mok or Dr. Kotlus will carefully guide you in selecting the procedure that will best meet your needs and expectations. A popular choice of breast enhancement is Trans Umbilical Breast Augmentation (or TUBA), which leaves virtually no scarring. Other surgical methods available to patients are fully discussed on an individual basis. Patients must also decide whether they wish to have the implants placed under or over the chest muscles. More women select the sub-pectoral, or under the muscle, option because it typically provides more natural results. Candidates with significant breast tissue are best suited to the over-the-muscle option.

Given all the choices available to breast augmentation candidates, working with a qualified surgeon is of paramount importance. Our surgeons extensively consult with their patients to discuss all questions and concerns, and assist in choosing the correct procedure and implants. Call either Dr. Mok or Dr. Kotlus for a personal consultation, explore the options available and make an informed decision, your initial consultation is at no cost to you.
