Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that enhances or restores breast size and shape. Primarily, the surgical procedure uses silicone or saline implants to accomplish this goal.
A breast augmentation can achieve a more proportionate figure that improves the balance between your breasts and hips. Breast augmentation may also address issues that are related to symmetry, where one breast is noticeably smaller or shaped differently than the other.
Additionally, women can experience changes in breast volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or aging. A breast augmentation can help restore that breast volume.
Scheduling a comprehensive consultation at our Troy office is the first step to determining whether you are a good candidate for breast augmentation surgery and the type of results you can expect from the procedure.
There are several criteria to identify the best candidates for breast augmentation surgery in Troy. During your consultation with Dr. DeLuca-Pytell, she will discuss your medical history, your cosmetic concerns, and your goals.
Women who want to enhance the size, shape, or symmetry of their breasts for personal reasons are good candidates. Other considerations include being in good general health with well-controlled medical conditions like diabetes or heart disease as well as having realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery.
Weight fluctuations can negatively impact the results of the surgery, so ideally you will have stabilized your weight and maintained it for roughly six months. Your mental health is also a consideration. Candidates for breast augmentation should be pursuing surgery for personal reasons rather than as a result of external pressure.
Additionally, women should be non-smokers or willing to quit for six weeks before and after the procedure as nicotine can increase the risk of complications during surgery and slow healing during recovery. Dr. DeLuca-Pytell may also make recommendations for stopping certain medications before breast augmentation such as blood thinners.
In some circumstances, you may benefit more from an alternative procedure or the addition of other surgeries alongside your breast augmentation. For example, women who want to address sagging breast tissue may need a breast lift to achieve their desired result since augmentation alone only addresses concerns with volume. Dr. DeLuca-Pytell takes an individualized approach to each procedure she performs and will never pressure you into pursuing a surgery you do not need or recommend a procedure if she does not feel it is in your best interest.
Many women find that breast augmentation surgery boosts their self-confidence and self-image. When you are considering cosmetic or reconstructive breast surgery, we encourage you to call Your Girlfriend the Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Danielle DeLuca-Pytell, to discuss if you are a candidate for breast augmentation surgery in Troy.
