What Are the Different Types of Breast Augmentation Performed?

Implants

Enhancement can be accomplished using either saline or silicone implants. An incision will be made either within the breast crease, around the areola, or in an inverted T-shape around the nipple and down to the inframammary fold when combined with a breast lift. The choice of implants and the location of the incision will be decided upon by you and Dr. Zampell during your private consultation in Beverly Hills.

Autologous Breast Augmentation

Dr. Zampell can perform breast augmentation using tissue taken from the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. Autologous tissue can be used in a similar way to a breast implant, placed underneath the breast mound to augment the natural breast. For women who have experienced complications with implant augmentation, they may be candidates for implant removal and replacement with their own tissue for augmentation. A realistic breast mound is created, and the donor area is beneficially slimmed.

Natural Breast Augmentation With Fat Transfer

Fat can be harvested from an area of the body where it is unwelcome, such as the hips, thighs, belly, or waist, and then purified and sterilized for injection into the chest. A natural breast augmentation can be stunning and elegant, but it typically only increases the bust size by a single cup.

Can Breast Augmentation Be Combined With Any Other Procedures?

Breast augmentation is a procedure to create fuller, more youthful breast mounds that are more proportionate to your figure and offer you a more feminine aesthetic. The procedure however cannot address breast ptosis, so it is often well combined with a breast lift procedure, which adjusts the angle and projection of the breasts while also repositioning the nipples. Breast augmentation may also be a major component of a mommy makeover procedure performed after pregnancy to help reshape and rejuvenate the entire physique.

Does Breast Augmentation Increase The Risk of Breast Cancer?

Women with implants who get breast cancer have the same chance at remission as women who have not undergone surgery.

How Long Until I Can Exercise?

What is the Effect of Pregnancy on My Breast Augmentation Outcomes?
