Why Individual Customization Matters in Breast Augmentation Surgery
Experienced plastic and cosmetic surgeons know that delivering the ideal results with breast implant procedures isn’t just about the size of the implant, it’s also about providing comprehensive guidance that will enable patients to make well-informed choices as they work together with the surgeon to create a surgical plan that is tailored to their needs and considers the following:
- Body Shape and Proportions
- Lifestyle and Activity Levels
- Aesthetic Goals
- Skin Quality and Existing Breast Tissue
Personalizing Breast Augmentation: What Are the Essential Factors?
Advancements in the construction of saline and silicone breast implants offer surgeons who specialize in cosmetic breast surgery an unprecedented ability to customize breast augmentation procedures. Modern silicone and saline breast implants come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are surgically implanted either in front of the breast muscle, or behind it.
As one of Austin’s leading providers of breast augmentation procedures, Dr. Daniela Atencio knows that achieving a satisfying outcome for her patients, begins with a consultation to physically evaluate their breast anatomy and identify the priority of their specific outcome goals.
For example, if a more natural feeling breast implant is a patient’s top priority, then a silicone implant is probably the best choice. For individuals who are seeking a more significant breast enhancement, but aren’t sure about the size, then an adjustable saline implant that allows for an increase or decrease in volume may be the perfect choice.
Breast Implant Types
Silicone Implants: Known for their realistic feel and reduced risk of rippling, silicone implants are ideal for most body types. Silicone breast implants are pre-filled and form stable, so the shape and size chosen by the patient can influence the surgical techniques used and whether the implant is placed in front of the breast muscle or behind it.
Saline Implants: Saline breast implants offer options that come pre-filled and sealed or as ones that the surgeon fills with a sterile saline solution after surgical placement. during the procedure. Adjustable saline implants come with a small port or valve that allows the surgeon to add or remove saline fluid, typically within a few months of the initial procedure before the port is permanently sealed. Whether standard or adjustable, the chosen size and shape of saline breast implants can also influence the recommended surgical approach.
Breast Augmentation with Implants: Surgical Techniques
Dr. Atencio specializes in cosmetic breast procedures using both saline and silicone breast implants. The doctor utilizes her experience to recommend the surgical placement that is best suited for each patient’s chosen implant type and size and then customizes every aspect of the procedure to align with their physical anatomy and outcome goals.
Subglandular Breast Implant Placement: With this over the muscle approach, the saline or silicone implant is placed between the breast tissue and the pectoral muscle. This method can deliver a slightly more lifted look but for patients with breast tissue that is naturally less dense, this might not be the best surgical approach, particularly for saline breast implants.
Submuscular Breast Implant Placement: With this under the muscle approach, the saline or silicone implant is placed under both the breast tissue and the pectoral muscle. This surgical approach works well for both types of implants and is often recommended for patients who have a more physically active lifestyle or a naturally slimmer build.Â
