breast augmentation
Does a breast augmentation (AKA boob job) seem like a good idea but you’re not sure if a boob job is right for you? There are several types of cosmetic breast surgeries that can help women enhance the look, feel and symmetry of their breasts like a breast lift, reduction, fat transfer or breast implant.
Discover Your Ideal Breast Augmentation in Nashville
Breast augmentation surgery, clinically referred to as augmentation mammaplasty, is a transformative procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of your breasts. Whether you’re seeking to increase breast volume, restore lost volume due to pregnancy or weight loss, or simply improve your overall self-image and confidence, breast augmentation offers you a path to your desired aesthetic.
Achieve Your Desired Look
Breast augmentation can help you achieve the following:
- Increase Fullness and Projection: Customizable to your preferences, breast augmentation allows you to select the size and projection that best suits your body and aesthetic goals.
- Improve Balance: Achieve a harmonious balance in your figure by enhancing the proportions of your breasts.
- Enhance Self-Image: Boost your self-confidence and body image, helping you feel more comfortable and self-assured in your own skin.
Complementary Procedures for Your Unique Goals
While breast augmentation can add volume and shape to your breasts, it’s important to note that it doesn’t address severely drooping breasts. If you desire both fullness and lift, a breast lift (mastopexy) may be recommended in conjunction with breast augmentation. In some cases, these procedures can be performed simultaneously, but occasionally, they may require separate operations. During your consultation with Dr. Garza, you’ll receive personalized guidance to tailor your treatment plan to your specific needs.
Meet Dr. Garza and Explore Your Options
Dr. Robert Garza, a renowned plastic surgeon, is your trusted partner in achieving your breast enhancement goals. With expertise in a range of breast implant options, Dr. Garza offers you choices that align with your vision for the perfect result.
Breast Implant Options Include:
- Gummy Bear Implants: Often referred to as gummy bear breast implants, these are known for maintaining their shape, even if the implant shell breaks. They offer a natural appearance and are designed to prevent abnormalities. Keep in mind that this type of implant may require a longer incision, resulting in a more noticeable scar.
- Saline Implants: Filled with sterile salt water, saline implants provide a uniform shape, firmness, and feel. In the event of a rupture, the saline is safely absorbed by the body. Saline implants are FDA-approved for women aged 18 or older.
- Silicone Implants: Filled with silicone gel, these implants mimic the feel of natural breast tissue. If a silicone implant ruptures, the gel may remain within the shell or escape into the implant pocket. Regular check-ups with your plastic surgeon are recommended. Silicone implants are FDA-approved for women aged 22 or older.
- Smooth Implants: These implants offer the softest feel and allow for natural movement and texture. However, they may have some palpable or visible rippling.
The Road to Recovery
After your breast augmentation procedure, you’ll enter a breast augmentation recovery phase. Your breasts will be dressed in gauze or a support bra to minimize swelling and support healing. Dr. Garza will provide you with specific post-operative care instructions, including medication recommendations and follow-up schedules.
While some discomfort, pain, and swelling are common in the initial recovery period, most patients can resume normal activities within a few days to weeks, as guided by their plastic surgeon.
