Often called a boob job, breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that supplements the size and shape of your breasts through the implantation of saline or silicone implants. Women in Miramar who want more shapely breasts should consult with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David J. Levens, at his Coral Springs office.
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a form of plastic surgery where implants are inserted beneath the skin to enhance a woman’s breasts. These saline or silicone implants are medical devices, and they are put through rigorous testing to ensure their safety. Dr. Levens takes pride in using implants of the highest quality. Despite media fear mongering, breast implants do not cause breast cancer. In fact, studies indicate breast cancer occurs in about 10% of all women, whether or not they have had breast implants.
Good Candidates for Breast Augmentation
If your breasts didn’t develop as large as you would have liked during puberty and you are in relatively good health, you are a good candidate for breast augmentation. If pregnancy has wreaked havoc on your body and left your breasts saggy, the procedure can help you get your body back. If you live in South Florida, you can schedule a free consult with Dr. Levens to discuss a personalized plan for your surgery. The size and fullness you can achieve can be limited by the elasticity of your skin and during your consultation, you will learn what results you can realistically expect from your procedure.
What Happens During Breast Augmentation?
During the surgery, Dr. Levens will place the implants behind your chest muscle or behind your breast tissue. Exact placement varies from patient to patient depending on their individual anatomy. Dr. Levens will determine the best placement for you during your initial visit to his South Florida office to ensure your highest expectations are met, if not exceeded.
