5 Reasons to Consider Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States. The surgery can give you the bust size and shape you’ve always wanted and restores lost volume associated with pregnancy, dramatic weight loss, or aging.
Triple board-certified plastic surgeon Gordon Sasaki, MD, FACS, at Sasaki Advanced Aesthetic Medical Center in Pasadena, California, is recognized worldwide for his top-level surgical skills. He’s also played an integral role in developing implants and tissue expansion techniques that ensure breast augmentation offers the beautiful, natural-appearing results you crave.
Read what Dr. Sasaki and his premier team say about breast augmentation and the top five reasons for choosing this popular cosmetic procedure.
Enhance breast size
Enhancing breast size can boost your confidence and help you feel more attractive. Dr. Sasaki discusses your goals, details of the procedure, and results you can expect from breast augmentation during your pre surgical consultation.
Precise measurements during the evaluation ensure the selected implants’ size and shape complement your figure. The FDA-approved medical-grade implants Dr. Sasaki uses offer a natural appearance and feel while providing the patient safety parameters he demands.
Advances in medical technology and surgical technique make breast augmentation a highly effective and safe option for individuals who want to improve their breast size and shape.
Restore or improve your pre-baby curves
Pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation cause significant changes in your breasts that augmentation corrects by restoring lost volume. Dr. Sasaki ensures your surgery provides the expected results with precise incisions hidden near the crease under your breast or at the areolar line to reduce the appearance of scarring.
Reward your weight loss
Healthy weight loss can positively impact your physical and emotional wellbeing. Unfortunately, it can also cause a dramatic change in your breasts. Once you’ve reached your weight loss goal, breast augmentation is one way to reward yourself for all that hard work.
Breast augmentation enhances breast shape and size but does not correct significantly stretched or sagging skin. For that reason, Dr. Sasaki may recommend combining a breast lift with augmentation to achieve your goals.
Overcome the effects of aging
If your loss of breast volume and sagging skin are related to aging, a breast lift and augmentation can restore youthful tone and shape. During your presurgical evaluation, Dr. Sasaki carefully reviews what you can expect after the procedure, including limiting strenuous activity and restricting all heavy lifting for up to six weeks.
Dr. Sasaki also provides information about when to schedule screening mammograms following augmentation, generally three to six months, to ensure complete healing and prevent unnecessary discomfort during the study.
Correct breast asymmetry
Slight breast asymmetry is perfectly normal and often essentially undetectable. However, a significant difference in breast shape and size is a frustrating experience for many women. Breast augmentation corrects uneven breasts. Dr. Sasaki also performs breast reconstruction for women who have experienced lumpectomy or mastectomy.
