What is Breast Augmentation?
Cosmetic breast surgery is a procedure that adds volume to breasts to create a fuller look. It is known as one of the most desired cosmetic surgeries, providing women who are unhappy with their breast shape numerous options for improvement. With the help of implants or fat grafting, this cosmetic treatment improves breast size and shape and creates an appealing and natural-looking outcome. Charlotte, NC plastic surgeons Dr. James Appel and Dr. Blair Wormer are experienced in executing this procedure and perform many breast augmentations each year. During your consultation at Appel Wormer Esthetics, your surgeon will address your concerns and desires and provide you with all of the choices available while also tailoring a treatment plan to attain your goals.
What is our Surgical Technique?
Incision placement and implant placement are aspects that are made before surgery. During the procedure, the chosen incision is created and then the implant will be slipped into its position. Two techniques may be applied for implant placement. These include either submuscular placement (under the pec muscle) or behind the breast tissue but over the pectoral muscle. Where to place the breast implant depends on varying factors, including the size and type of implant, along with the expertise of Dr. Appel and Dr. Wormer. No matter where the incision is placed, scarring is usually minimal. Implant placement is determined based on your implant size, activity level, and body type.
During a fat grafting procedure, you will be under some form of anesthesia. The exact type of anesthesia or numbing method will depend on how much fat tissue is being removed, including where it will be reinstated. Liposuction is first performed using a thin, special cannula to carefully extract the fat, which will then be purified and harvested inside a centrifuge (which preps the highest quality fat for syringes). After preparing the injection site, the healthy fat tissue will be transferred into the breasts. The process of injecting is completed in layers until the desired outcome has been attained.
