Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation with saline or silicone implants is easily one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the United States—more than 2 million Americans have benefitted from breast augmentation. This procedure enlarges the size and enhances the shape of a woman's breasts.

If you feel dissatisfied with the size of your breasts, breast augmentation at our Paramus, New Jersey plastic surgery office may be an appropriate solution to create a more feminine silhouette and improved body proportion.

How To Know If Breast Augmentation Is Right For You

The typical candidate for breast augmentation will be dissatisfied with her breast size and have a strong desire to change it. Ideal candidates will be non-smokers, have a stable body weight and be capable of understanding the risks of cosmetic surgery.

Most patients who seek breast augmentation in New Jersey do so to achieve the following benefits of breast implants:

• Improved body proportions
• Improved body image
• Greater number of wardrobe options

Aside from the cosmetic improvements that can be made with breast augmentation, the procedure can also be used to correct tuberous breast and a loss of breast fullness, which can occur after pregnancy or weight loss.

Paramus breast lift with implants is another popular breast enhancement procedure that combines breast augmentation with breast lift surgery in order to create fuller breasts that are also perky and high on the chest wall.

How Breast Augmentation Surgery Is Performed

A variety of techniques exist for this procedure. All techniques currently being performed by plastic surgeons involve the placement of saline or silicone filled breast implants. The breast implants can be placed using three possible methods:

• Sub-muscular placement, beneath the pectoral muscle
• Sub-glandular placement, above the pectoral muscle
• Partial sub-muscular

Breast Augmentation Incisions

There are also multiple incision methods used during breast augmentation. Dr. Cozzone may choose to make the incision in the breast crease below the breast or around the nipple/areola.

Other possible incision methods will use something called a surgical endoscope—a small viewing instrument designed for minimally invasive procedures. With an endoscope, it's possible to perform incisions in a location that is very inconspicuous. Breast implant placement through the belly button or near the armpit are commonly performed in this way.
