Breast augmentation, sometimes called breast enhancement surgery or a boob job, increases the size and improves the shape of your breasts using saline or silicone implants. For years, women in Pembroke Pines have trusted the skill of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David J. Levens and his Coral Springs staff to give them the breasts they have always desired.
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a common procedure in the Fort Lauderdale and Broward County area that allows women to reshape and enlarge their breasts through surgically inserted implants. These implants are medical devices held to the highest quality control standards. Dr. Levens uses implants that have been thoroughly vetted for both safety and aesthetics. Some women are worried that getting implants will cause them to get breast cancer, but studies show that breast implants don’t cause breast cancer. Statistics indicate that breast cancer occurs in about 10% of women, with or without breast implants.
Good Candidates for Breast Augmentation
You are a good candidate for breast augmentation if you are healthy and have enough skin elasticity to cover the size of implant you desire. Women with breasts that have started to sag also make great candidates. Before your surgery, Dr. Levens will meet with you to make sure you have realistic expectations of your end results. During this free consultation, he will access your body type and together you can determine the size and kind of implants you desire. Together, you and the doctor will develop a plan that will ensure your expectations are met.
What Happens During Breast Augmentation?
During the surgery, the implants are placed in either the back of the chest muscle or behind the breast tissue. Dr. Levens is one of the leading surgeons in South Florida, and he will make a decision on placement based on your initial examination and individual anatomy.
