Breast Augmentation
By adding volume to your breasts, breast augmentation effectively increases their size. Asymmetry, disproportionately small breasts, weight loss or pregnancy aftereffects, or self-confidence issues are common reasons for breast augmentation. With his considerable knowledge, expertise, and compassion, Dr. Oscar Porras strives to give each of her patients the figure they desire.
In breast augmentation, specially sized implants are used to enlarge the breasts. In addition to increasing or restoring breast size, surgery can also improve breast tone and shape.
Following your consultation, Dr. Oscar Porras will determine the most suitable breast implant options based on your anatomy and overall aesthetic preferences.
Implant options include:
- Silicone gel-filled breast implants
Implants come in a variety of sizes and types to fit all body types. Additionally, patients can enhance their breasts with fat transfer, a breast lift, or a breast lift with implants. Based on your anatomy and aesthetic preferences, Dr. Oscar Porras will recommend the most suitable operation for you.
How Does Breast Augmentation Work?
Diet, exercise, and other methods can’t change your bustline as effectively as breast augmentation, giving you welldeserved confidence. You can achieve your ideal figure and claim your feminine curves with long-lasting results through safe, effective breast augmentation with an experienced surgeon.
The following are some of the most common benefits patients report:
- Curves and volume have been added
- Breasts that are more symmetrical
- Results that last
Surgery for breast augmentation
Dr. Oscar Porras will make small incisions in either the lower breast crease, along the nipple areolar complex, at the inframammary fold or in the axilla (underarm). The procedure usually takes 2 hours.
Aftercare for Breast Augmentation
A soft bandage is applied immediately following surgery and is maintained for three days afterwards. Within 3-4 weeks after your surgery, you will be fitted with either a surgical bra or a sports bra. Dr. Porras will see you for regular check-ups for at least one year.
How Does A Breast Lift Work?
Mastopexy, or breast lift, is a surgical procedure that elevates the nipple and lifts the breast. When a woman ages, her breasts sag because of weak ligaments. Breastfeeding and weight fluctuations can make this particularly difficult. In mastopexy, excess skin is removed from the breast and surrounding tissue is tightened to provide a more supportive and contoured breast. The breast is lifted to create a more youthful and aesthetic appearance by repositioning the nipple. Typically, patients considering breast lifts do so to improve the appearance of their breasts because of:
- Aging
- Gravity
- Heredity
- Pregnancy
- Breastfeeding
- Weight fluctuations of significant magnitude
Breast lifts do not significantly alter breast size. To achieve larger breasts, you may combine breast augmentation surgery with breast lift surgery in a procedure called a breast lift with implants. Breast reductions can be combined with breast lifts to reduce the size of the breasts.
Breast Lift Procedure
To elevate the nipple, Dr. Oscar Porras will make incisions to reshape the breast tissue and remove redundant skin. In order to support the breast, Dr. Porras will close the incisions layered deep within the breast tissue. Surgery usually takes three hours.
Breast Lift Aftercare
Breasts are wrapped in a soft bandage immediately after surgery. Three days are required to maintain the bandage. To minimize swelling, a surgical bra or sports bra can be worn after day 3. When can I expect to see the results of my breast lift? Immediately following your breast lift, you will see some results. For a few weeks, you may experience swelling that obscures your final results. Your results will improve as your body heals. Following Dr. Porras’ instructions regarding physical activities is crucial to achieving optimal results after breast lift surgery. If you maintain a healthy lifestyle and maintain your weight, you will enjoy long-lasting results from your breast lift procedure.
