Breast Augmentation

Breast Implants or Breast Lift?

“How do I know if I need a breast lift or just implants?”

I hear this question every consultation day.

There are some ways you may be able to determine for yourself, even before consultation with a plastic surgeon.

Perhaps the most important principle to know: breast implants do not lift the breast.

Do you always flip to the article about “Swimsuits for Every Body Type” and check out their advice about the best swimsuits for small busts? Have you tried all their advice and still been unhappy with your look in a swimsuit? Do you wish you could feel a little more feminine in a sundress? Are you happy with all the results of your beach body workout, except for what it did to your breasts? If so, you may be wondering when is the best time to get breast augmentation so your results will be beach ready for the summer.

If you’ve been researching your breast augmentation options, you understand there are many ways for you to customize your results with different options, like placing your breast implants above or below the muscle, choosing your incision site, and selecting saline or silicone breast implants. The profile of your breast implants is another option you can use to customize your breast augmentation results by changing the shape of your breast implants.

I want to give you a summary of what the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) communicated to healthcare practitioners and the public.  The information given was that there is a possible association between breast implants and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL).  ALCL in the breast is extremely rare; 3 in 100 million women are diagnosed per year in the U.S.  However, the FDA is investigating if women with (silicone and saline-filled) breast implants may have a slightly increased risk of developing the condition.  The FDA have identified between 30 and 60 women who have breast implants who

Littleton, CO — January 28, 2011 — On Wednesday, January 26, 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) communicated to practitioners and the public about the possible association between breast implants and anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL).

ALCL is very rare affecting approximately 1 in 500,000 people.  ALCL of  the breast is even less common affecting 3 in100 million people.

On my last blog on Breast Implants: Looking Real: Part 1, I discussed the importance of the choosing the right size of breast implants, in order to avoid a fake appearance. In this blog, I will discuss how shape plays a big role in creating a “fake look.”

In previous blogs, I wrote about size, shape and position as all being important elements of an attractive natural appearing result from breast augmentation. In this blog, I’ll talk about the importance of motion of the implant.

For an augmented breast to have a natural appearance, it must move with the woman’s natural breast.  If the implant is in a fixed position, it creates “an obvious augmented look.”

In my private practice, the most frequent procedure I perform is breast augmentation; I perform well over one hundred procedures of breast enhancement in Denver every year! Women who consult with me about breast enhancement in my Denver practice, which specializes in breast augmentation, uniformly express the concern that they do not want results that look “fake.” This blog is the third in a series in which I talk about what goes into avoiding the “fake look.”
