What is a breast implant? A breast implant is a gel sac filled with either silicone or saline.

They can be smooth or textured. They come in various shapes and sizes. When you meet with Doctor Orloff you can decide together which implants would best fit your needs.

The breast augmentation procedure is performed in a board certified surgery center while you are comfortably anesthetized. There are several approaches. A very popular approach is through a small incision around the lower areola. A small opening is made and a pocket for the implant is developed under the breast tissue. The implant is placed inside the pocket. The opening is then closed using small sutures. This approach allows the incision to heal so well that in most cases one cannot identify the healed scar. Another way is through an incision on the lower breast or through the armpit. When you meet with Doctor Orloff you can decide together which approach would best suit your body shape.

Sometimes breast implants are used to even out asymmetrical breasts. Most women have differences between the right and left breast. This is actually very common and it is rare to find a woman with identical breasts.

Using slightly different implants can even out these differences and create a more aesthetic appearance. It makes wearing most clothing much easier and eliminates the need for padding the smaller side.

Uneven or asymmetric breasts are not uncommon. If the difference is not very big, this can be hidden with padded bras, but if the difference between the breasts so too big to be hidden then the situation can become a real handicap, especially for a woman interested in sports, particularly in swimming. Low cut evening dresses can usually not be worn.

Dr. Orloff can correct this problem and you will be able to enjoy evening dresses or bikinies without the worries that pads might shift.

From the profile you can really appreciate more full breast tissue above the areola, the colored part of the breast. When someone has small or droopy breasts that area appears flat. The implant fills it up and allows for clothing to fit in a more flattering manner.

Breast Augmentation with Periareolar Lift

Many women loose breast tissue with childbearing and breastfeeding. Often with age the breasts become smaller, softer, and more droopy. A breast augmentation can be combined with a breast lift to create a more youthful and uplifted appearance. In this case the excess skin around the areola was removed in addition to adding the breast implant.

You can find more information on this and other methods of breast augmentation at the Buena Vista Surgery Center’s website about the different types of breast lifts.

The breast augmentation procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. Following the surgery and recovery you can go home to fully recover. Your chest may be sore for several days and you will be prescribed pain medication to make your recovery easier. Soon your implants will settle in their new place and Doctor Orloff will teach you how to move them around to maintain a nice and natural appearance.
