If
you often wish that your breasts
were larger, fuller or more
shapely, breast augmentation
surgery may be the right choice
for you. Breast augmentation is a
cosmetic procedure that uses
implants to enlarge and shape the
breasts. Your new look will bring
you greater freedom with fashion
and may give your self-image a
boost as well.
You
may be a good candidate for breast augmentation (augmentation
mammaplasty) if you have any of the
following conditions:
You
are bothered by the feeling that your
breasts are too small
Weight
loss has changed the size and shape of
your breasts
After
having children, your breasts have
become smaller and have lost their
firmness
Dresses
that fit well around your hips are
often too large at the bustline
One
of your breasts is noticeably smaller
than the other
You
feel self-conscious wearing a swimsuit
or form-fitting top
How
is breast augmentation performed?
The specific method chosen for your breast
reduction will be determined by your
anatomy, Dr. Wigoda's preferences and your
desired results.
The
incision is small and is usually made in
one of three locations: underneath the
breast just above the crease; around the
lower edge of the areola; or within the
armpit.
Once
the incision is made, Dr. Wigoda creates a
pocket into which the implanted is
inserted. This pocket is made either
directly behind the breast tissue or
beneath the pectoral muscle located below
the breast tissue and above the chest
wall.
Anatomic
tear drop shaped implants are available
and may be optimal in certain patients,
depending on their anatomy and the look
they desire.
Dr.
Wigoda's practice serves patients from
Florida, the Caribbean, South America, and
Europe, in addition to Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton.
