Breast augmentation, more commonly referred to as a “boob job,” uses saline or silicone implants to enhance the shape and size of a woman’s breasts. Women of Boca Raton, Florida, can receive natural-looking breast augmentation that will truly compliment their bodies with board-certified plastic surgeon David J. Levens and his skillful team in Coral Springs.
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a common procedure in which medical devices called implants are used to increase the size and fullness of a woman’s breasts. Dr. Levens uses high-quality breast implants that are manufactured under the strictest standards to give patients incredible results.
Some have the misconception that breast augmentation causes cancer. On the contrary, studies have proven that breast cancer occurs in approximately 10 percent of women regardless of whether or not they have ever had breast implants. There are no reputable studies linking breast implants to a higher incidence of breast cancer.
Good Candidates for Breast Augmentation
Healthy women who are unhappy with their smaller breast size caused by genetics or the loss of fullness after pregnancy or breastfeeding are good candidates for breast augmentation. If you are considering a “boob job,” Dr. Levens will provide a complimentary consultation to discuss the results you hope to see. The actual size of your augmentation is determined by the amount of breast tissue. For example, women who have never been pregnant or are an “A” cup or smaller could have very tight skin which might limit the amount of fullness that can be achieved.
What Happens During Breast Augmentation?
During breast augmentation, implants are placed either behind the chest muscle or behind the breast tissue. The placement depends on what will work best for your specific breast type and chest wall anatomy. Either way, your breast tissue is found in front of the implant so it can be easily examined. Dr. Levens is one of the best breast implant surgeons in South Florida, and he will go over your best options with you before your procedure. Our number one priority is your satisfaction.
