Follow Jen as she has Breast Augmentation Surgery by Dr. Leonard M. Hochstein.

Breast Augmentation increases the size of a woman’s breast. You can easily go from an A-cup to a full C-cup or more. Breast Augmentation can also yield firmer, fuller breasts.

By looking at the position of the nipple, you can tell if Breast Augmentation is right for you. The crease under the breast is called the infra mammary crease. If the nipple is above this crease you are a good candidate for breast augmentation. If your nipple is level with this crease you are not an ideal candidate, however, a large implant can increase the size and may lift the breast so there is less droopiness. If your nipple is below the crease, you may want to consider a breast lifting procedure with augmentation.
Just as Breast Augmentation is your decision, so is the type of implant you wish to use. It is important to discuss your implant options with Dr. Hochstein. Saline is a silicone shell filled with saline and is the most common implant used. Silicone gel implants have an identical shell but are filled with silicone.

The texture of the implant can also make a difference. Textured implants have less results of hardening breasts and tend to stay in position better. Though, there can be evidence of rippling. Smooth texture has less risk of rippling but can be displaced more.

The placement of the implant is also important to consider. Dr. Hochstein places the implants under the muscle for a softer, more natural and long lasting result.

There are also a variety of incision sites that can be used by the doctor. The incision site is the access point for the doctor to perform the surgery. The incision can be placed at the edge of the nipple, under the breast, under the armpit, or through the belly button. In choosing the incision site it is important to take into account your lifestyle and visibility of scars.

The common risks with breast augmentation include firming of the breasts, loss of nipple sensation, implant displacement, implant deflation, or breast rippling.

During your consultation, it is important to ask questions. Be sure to go over the surgery in detail. Dr. Hochstein is there to ensure you receive the best possible outcome and that you are happy with your Breast Augmentation.

Breast Implant Sizers: 7 Reasons to Try Before You Buy

Breast implant sizers are designed for women who are considering breast augmentation. The primary goal of a breast sizing system is to help you make your final breast implant size choice.

One recent study shows that over one-third of all breast augmentation revision procedures is simply to change the size of the implant alone. Since a revision procedure is a second or third surgery complete with all the costs and risks of the first procedure, doctors welcome the help of these systems.

To avoid subsequent surgeries it is important that you experiment with various breast sizes. Here is my list of the top 7 reasons to try breast implant sizers before choosing your final size choice:

1) You are spending a lot of money on breast augmentation, maybe four to five thousand dollars. The extra hundred dollars to buy a breast implant sizing system is well worth it to avoid a second or third surgery.

2) The risks of breast augmentation are comparatively minor versus some operations. Still, do your best to avoid having another surgery by using breast sizers.

3) Experience is better than guesswork. By experiencing various breast sizes before you undergo surgery, you avoid leaving your decision to pure guessing.

4) Before and after photos do not tell the whole story. A certain implant size may look good on one woman’s body, but have a completely different effect on yours. Using a sizer can help you see and feel what different breast sizes are like.

5) Various breast sizes in different clothing and activities can have an impact on your decision. The twenty minutes at a doctor’s office is important, but you should really live with different sizes before you make your final decision.

6) Your body changes throughout the month and over time. Wearing breast implant sizers over a period of time can help you decide on an appropriate size.

7) Most women who undergo subsequent surgeries come back to get a larger size. Most report that they were concerned about going “too big” the first time, but found they liked their new breasts so much they wanted to come back and make them bigger. If they had used a breast implant sizer system they may have avoided the second surgery.

If you are considering breast augmentation, try using breast implant sizers to see how you look and feel with different sizes. Wear various breast implant sizes over a period of time to experience your thoughts, emotions, and feelings about each size.

Try wearing each sizer set in your favorite clothing. Go beyond just standing in front of a mirror with different sizes. Wear them out shopping, out for a night on the town, or even at work. See how you feel and get feedback from your family and friends.

Through experience, over a couple of weeks, you will be in a better position to make a good choice the first time.

Breast Augmentation with Breast Lift - Post-Pregnancy Cosmetic Surgery

http://beverlyhillsplasticsurgery.com
This is Erika’s Story… A couple years after having her son she noticed that her breasts had lost volume and began to droop. This video is a documentary of her experience having cosmetic surgery to rejuvenate her breasts and regain her pre-pregnancy figure. The procedure was performed by Dr. David E. Kim of Beverly Hills Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Time, gravity, life and babies can take their toll on women’s bodies. The advancements and popularity of cosmetic surgery has resulted in the term “Mommy Makeover” to become the new buzzword. A Mommy Makeover consists of an assortment of body contouring and enhancement procedures that vary from surgeon to surgeon. Common are tummy tucks, liposuction, breast enhancement and full body lifts.

While all of these are excellent procedures and provide great results, we have found that the loss of volume in the breasts is the primary area of concern for women. Other areas of the body affected by pregnancy are worn as a “badge of honor”.

Therefore we specialize in Breast Augmentation procedures with a focus on the many different types of Breast Lift Procedures.

In most cases drooping breasts cannot be corrected with implants alone. The end result would be a bigger breast that sags even more due to it’s increased size. Mastopexy is the medical name for breast lift surgery. It incorporates excision of excess skin and resuturing the remaining skin and tissue to literally lift the breast back up and give it a more youthful appearance.

In some cases, the areola becomes enlarged over time, and a breast lift will reduce this as well.

Depending on your unique situation, small breasts that do not droop, small breasts that droop and have loose skin, good volume but the breasts droop, large breast volume with drooping breasts, we will customize your procedure providing you with a lift that achieves your goals and minimizes scaring. The general rule of thumb is the less lift, the less scarring and the more lift, the more scarring.

The best candidates for mastopexy are healthy, emotionally-stable women who are realistic about what the surgery can accomplish. The best results are usually achieved in women with small, sagging breasts. Breasts of any size can be lifted, but the results may not last as long in heavy breasts.

What was your experience with Breast Augmentation?

What was your experience with Breast Augmentation?
Have you had breast enlargements done? How was the experience, were you nervous looking into the procedure?

OR

Are you thinking of having breast enlargements done? What are your thoughts on it, or what are your hesitations?

I'm asking this in the parenting section, because after having my daughter and breast feeding for 15 months my boobs are smaller then before and I feel like they even sag a little, I am just curious to see if other mothers did this procedure. I'm a 34 B.

I think I'd like to get mine done…I"ll wait until after I have my 2nd (and last) child though…That won't be for another 2-3 years though.

The only thing besides money that I have concerns about is getting them re-done every 10-15 years, then would I keep getting them, or eventually have them taken out (like when I'm 60 years old and older)???

So many questions, I sometimes don't even think they're worth it….Good luck on whatever you decide hun!!

Please do not post anything negative I have very assymetric breast and I want breast implants so please just answer the question.

Who are you?, Last month my step mom underwent a breast implant procedure and she's really happy with the results. Where I live a there are certain surgeons that are better than others.

Breast augmentation : implants through nipple or under arm?

Is it better to have a breast augmentation through the nipples or under arm? Why?

It depends on whether you are doing the implants on top of your pectoral muscle or underneath it. A good plastic surgeon will evaluate your body type (slender, athletic, large-boned, etc.) and determine what kind of implant is best. Once the implant type is determined, the surgeon will discuss with you the options you have - underarm, nipple, underneath the breast or even belly button. The type of implant will also determine the cost. As for pain, the actual surgery doesn't hurt because you are sedated. When you wake up there is pain because of the implants but you are provided prescriptions for pain killers.

Indianapolis Breast Augmentation Plastic Surgeon

http://www.zollmanplasticsurgery.com

Patients undergoing “augmentation mammoplasty” generally have expectations in terms of size and post-op confidence. When it comes to size, there are three different types: proportional, proportional plus (more than average), and expander implants. Most women opt for either the proportional or proportional plus. You should bear in mind that the operation does not intend to explicitly change your life, but many patients do gain a great deal of pride.

Important factors in how the surgery is performed are; 1) Placement of incision, 2) Type of implant, and 3) Placement of the implant. Dr. Zollman uses the inferior periareolar (located around the areola) incision, which is placed just on the border of normal- and darker-colored skin, nicely hiding the scar. He then places the implant in a sub muscular position, giving the implant an elastic, vascular covering. Lastly, he uses saline implants (with a solid silicone outer shell), which are flexible and stay soft.

Please visit Dr. Zollman’s Web site to learn more about breast augmentation in the Indianapolis area.
