Chances are you probably have a friend, relative, or neighbor who has undergone breast augmentation. With its rising popularity and our year-round warm weather, breast augmentation is one of the most requested procedures at our plastic surgery practice. For the woman born with small breasts or the woman who finds her breasts have changed after childbirth or breastfeeding, breast augmentation can be a very rewarding procedure.

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a plastic surgery procedure that improves the size, feel, and shape of the breasts via the placement of breast implants either above or below the chest muscle. Women who desire larger, firmer, perkier, and/or more symmetrical breasts—or breasts that are more proportional to the rest of their body—often choose breast augmentation with implants to achieve their new look. The size, type, shape, and positioning of the implants are all customized to suit the patient’s unique figure, needs, and cosmetic goals.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Breast Augmentation?

Potential candidates for breast augmentation are women in good health who are at least 18 years old for saline implants and at least 22 years old for silicone implants (according to FDA requirements). Women who are well-suited for breast augmentation may have:

Small breasts in proportion to their frame or lower body
Experienced marked changes to their breasts after having children, breastfeeding, significant weight loss or gain, and/or aging
Asymmetrical breasts, where one side is bigger or differently shaped than the other
A desire to achieve larger, firmer, more shapely breasts and/or enhanced cleavage
In addition, good candidates have adequate skin elasticity and muscle quality in order to properly support the implants and provide the desired results. During a consultation, Dr. Matas can thoroughly evaluate your health, expectations, and relevant anatomical factors to determine if breast augmentation is the right option for you.

Note: women with a significant, strong family history of breast cancer are counseled to consider the procedure very carefully because implants pose an interference with mammography.
