Your Guide to Your Ideal Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the United States. Dr. Timothy Janiga is a leading expert in breast augmentation, specializing in a variety of surgical techniques and implant options to meet each patient’s aesthetic goals.
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast size, enhance their shape, and correct asymmetry. This procedure is beneficial for patients who have wanted a more balanced body and those who have experienced volume loss due to natural aging or pregnancy and breastfeeding and want to restore their body to their pre-pregnancy shape.
At JanigaMDs, we specialize in advanced technology and surgical techniques to give patients the best possible results. Your procedure will begin with a consultation to discuss your cosmetic goals and needs, and we will use a 3D imaging software to let you “try on” different implant sizes and shapes. Breast augmentation with Dr. Janiga is customized at every step. The following options for your surgery will be discussed at your consultation, but it is helpful to know what to expect.
Implant Options
Dr. Janiga offers two main types of breast implants: saline or silicone. Saline breast implants are made from a silicone shell filled with sterile salt water (saline). These implants can be placed through smaller incisions and filled after placement. Patients may prefer saline implants because if the implant leaks or ruptures, the body will naturally absorb the saline solution.
Silicone breast implants are made from cohesive medical-grade silicone gel, which provides a more natural feel and appearance compared to saline. Silicone implants are now made with a gummy bear or cohesive silicone that stays together even if the outer shell of the implant ruptures. With the softer and more realistic move and feel of silicone, many patients prefer the natural texture of silicone implants.
Incision Options
The most common incision type is an inframammary incision placed under the breast fold. This allows Dr. Janiga to access the breast pocket, and the resulting scar can be easily concealed. However, other incision options can be considered including transaxillary and periareolar since each offers different benefits for different body types and surgical goals.
Implant Placement
Dr. Janiga can place the breast implants behind the chest muscle (submuscular placement) or over the chest muscle (subglandular placement). Submuscular implant placement can give the breasts a more natural contour but recovery time is a bit longer since the muscle is involved. Subglandular placement may be better for very active women who do not want the implant under the muscle. Dr. Janiga will help you determine which placement option is best for your unique situation and body type.
