Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is performed to help women adjust the shape and increase the size of naturally small breasts or breasts that have changed with age or pregnancy. Breast implants come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes so that patients obtain the customized results they desire. Dr. Lee tailors his breast augmentation techniques to each patient in order to provide natural-looking, optimal improvement.
What Can Breast Augmentation Achieve?
Every woman has different cosmetic goals in mind for herself. During your consultation, Dr. Lee will discuss all of your options and listen to any concerns you may have before coming up with a customized surgical plan.
Many women want to increase the size of their breasts but still want to maintain a natural appearance and feel. Breast implants are designed to mimic natural breast tissue so that women can have the best of both worlds.
Breast augmentation is performed so that women can achieve breasts that are more symmetrical and in proportion with the rest of their body frame. Breast augmentation improves the harmony of a woman’s figure by producing a balanced and attractive bustline.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Dr. Lee prefer the inframammary incision?
No incision option is without risk. However, making incisions in the breast crease tends to be more sterile, helping minimize the risk of infection, which can lead to capsular contracture. Dr. Lee also utilizes the Keller funnel to further reduce these risks.
What risks are associated with breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a safe way to increase the size of the breasts while still maintaining a natural look. While rare, risks can include:
- Adverse reactions to anesthesia
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Changes in skin sensation
- Potential rupture
- Capsular contracture
- Implant displacement
Following all of Dr. Lee’s post-operative instructions will help minimize the likelihood of these complications.
Are my results permanent?
Breast implants are known to last for several years, if not decades. Unfortunately, breast implants do age and degrade, and occasionally need to be replaced in some patients.
What is your preferred breast augmentation method for Asian women?
The usual incisions in the breast fold or areola lead to prominent scarring in Asians; therefore, we prefer to make an incision within the nipple itself when performing Asian breast surgery. When this method of Asian breast augmentation is used, the nipple usually heals with almost no scarring.
