Breast Augmentation

The demand in Ft. Lauderdale for breast augmentation is no different than in the rest of the country: at the top of the list. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ (ASPS) 2014 Plastic Surgery Report, breast augmentation was the leading cosmetic surgical procedure performed last year, with 286,000 cases nationally.

Those are 286,000 completely unique stories, bodies and considerations.

One frequent concern of patients considering breast augmentation is whether the procedure could affect the accuracy of their mammogram. Many have heard that the silcone or saline in their implants can block some of their breast tissue from view. Breast cancer is a disease that requires frequent testing, as 75% of women who get the disease exhibit no risk factors, so ensuring accurate test results is very important.

To get the best possible results from breast surgery, you may want to consider getting more than one procedure done. An effective and popular combination is a breast augmentation with a breast lift, which can improve the position and shape of the breast while simultaneously increasing their size.

You may want to consider a combination breast augmentation and breast lift procedure if:

Many prospective patients considering breast augmentation surgery ask us how long the surgery takes. While every person’s procedure is unique, breast augmentation surgery typically takes between one and two hours. In general, many breast augmentation surgical procedures are relatively simple, which is why most surgeries are fairly short.

The primary goal of a breast augmentation is to enlarge and beautify your breasts. As such, many Fort Lauderdale-area women initially consider choosing the largest possible breast implant size.

However, this might not be right for you. The important thing is finding an implant size that achieves your aesthetic objectives, not an implant size that maximizes your bust.

Form stable breast implants, more commonly known as “gummy bear implants,” may offer natural looking and feeling results, even when implants are placed above chest muscles. These silicone breast implants are specifically designed to feel like natural breast tissue, allowing them to improve contours without producing an overly-enhanced appearance. What’s more, the gel in form stable implants is thicker and will not leak out or drain even in the rare instance of implant rupture.

According to a survey published in the medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a majority of people find a breast ratio of 45:55 to be “perfect.” This means that 45 percent of the breast tissue is above the nipple and 55 percent is below. 94 percent of the plastic surgeons who responded to this survey suggested that is the shape they choose to create when performing breast augmentation.
