Breasts are associated with femininity and attractiveness, and feeling good about your breasts can significantly boost your confidence. Like many women, you may be considering cosmetic surgery to increase the size and/or improve the shape of your breasts. Whether you want to add youthful volume or correct breast asymmetry, breast augmentation at our Rochester, NY practice, serving Brighton, Fairport, Webster, and beyond, can help you achieve your desired look.
Dr. Young specializes in plastic and reconstructive surgery, helping men and women rejuvenate their faces and bodies. His extensive experience and artistic eye make him the plastic surgeon Rochester patients know and trust.
Meet Dr. YoungThe procedure can provide several different improvements, including:
During your private consultation with Dr. Young, he analyzes your body shape and suggests the best cosmetic surgery plan to achieve your goals. Using the VECTRA® 3-D imaging system, you can also see the potential results of your procedure and provide Dr. Young with feedback about your cosmetic goals.
The price for breast augmentation procedures depends on a variety of factors, including the choice of implants, surgical technique, and individual patient factors. You will be provided with a personalized price quote during your consultation with Dr. Young.
Good candidates for breast augmentation are healthy, non-smoking women over the age of 18 (for saline) or 22 (for silicone) who wish to increase the size of their breasts. While breast implants can provide additional volume and create a flattering shape, it is also important to have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure.
Both breast augmentation and breast lift are cosmetic breast enhancement procedures. Here are some differences:
Because many women want to add fullness and tighten sagging, Dr. Young often combines breast augmentation and lift procedures.
Breast augmentation is a highly customizable surgery that is tailored to each woman’s needs. Choosing the right implant is one of the key components of creating satisfying, natural-looking results. There are multiple factors to consider when reviewing your breast implant options.
Choosing your implant size is one of the most exciting parts of undergoing breast augmentation. Our team will examine your body and help you choose implants that complement your build and frame using a special sizing system that helps you envision your future results.
Implants are filled with either saline (saltwater) or silicone gel. Both materials are proven safe and can be used to create incredible results. Saline is more affordable, is a natural material, and potential ruptures or leaks are immediately noticeable. Silicone gel is lighter, feels very natural, and moves with the body more like real breast tissue. Dr. Young will discuss your options and guide you toward your best choice.
Breast implants come in many shapes and sizes, depending on your personal aesthetic goals. Round implants are the most popular choice, as they provide more fullness in the upper breast. Profile—how far the breast projects from the chest wall—is another customizable option. A high-profile implant will create dramatic results, while a lower profile implant adds a subtle boost.
Dr. Young places the incisions where they are well concealed in either of the following locations:
The choice of placement depends on implant material (silicone requires a longer incision than saline) and personal preference.
Breast implants can be inserted using either of the following placement options:
Definitely! Many women have multiple improvements they’d like to attain with a single surgery and recovery period. Popular options include:
Because many women combine breast and body procedures after pregnancy and breastfeeding, these surgeries are often called mommy makeovers.
Immediately after your procedure, you can expect to feel some grogginess as the anesthesia wears off. You can return home the same day after a brief period of observation. Be sure to have a friend or family member safely drive you home from surgery.
You may experience tightness or discomfort in the chest area for the next several days, and your breasts will likely feel sensitive. Get plenty of rest and follow your doctor’s pain medication instructions. Most patients feel well enough to return to work or school around a week after surgery.
It can be more challenging to detect anomalies in the breast with a mammogram when breast implants are present. Your mammogram technician will take extra pictures of your breasts, called implant displacement views, to work around the issue.
Most women can breastfeed with implants, although implants sometimes affect your milk supply. If you plan to breastfeed after a breast augmentation, it’s important to let your plastic surgeon know about your future plans.
Saline and silicone breast implants each offer benefits, so one is not necessarily better than the other. Some women prefer saline implants for the peace of mind they offer in the event of a rupture. Other women choose silicone breast implants for their natural look and feel.
Yes, breast implants are not lifetime devices and you will need to replace or remove them at some point. However, if you are not experiencing any problems and still like the way your implants look, you do not need to replace or remove them. Most breast implants last 10 to 20 years.
Instead of using breast implants, some plastic surgeons add volume to breasts using excess fat from another area of the body. This procedure, called fat grafting or fat transfer, can only increase breast size by about a cup.
Yes, most breast enhancement surgeries are low-risk procedures when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon who carefully screens the patient for health risks.
