Like many of Dr. Lara Ontiveros’ breast augmentation patients, you probably have highly personal reasons for wanting breast implants. Whether you have always had small breasts, want to restore volume lost after having children, or you want to make both breasts the same size, Dr. Lara Ontiveros and our team create a positive, trusting environment where your needs are a priority.

Women of all ages can select the breast size they have always desired or restore the youthful contour of the breasts they once had. In addition to enhancing the size and shape of the breasts, breast augmentation creates firmer breasts that still feel natural.

Breast augmentation surgery involves the placement of either:

• Saline breast implants that are filled after being inserted, or
• Pre-filled cohesive silicone gel implants

BREAST AUGMENTATION CANDIDATES

The most suitable breast augmentation candidates are generally healthy individuals who have concerns about the size or shape of their breasts. After a careful physical exam and assessment of your medical history, we will determine whether or not you’re a good candidate for the procedure.

It is rare that someone who is interested in a breast augmentation is not healthy enough to have this operation.

Breast implants are designed to add volume. This is achieved through implants filled with either saline (salt-water solution) or silicone gel. All implants have a silicone shell, but the material filling the implant is different.

INCISION LOCATIONS

The vast majority of implants are placed underneath the pectoralis (chest) muscle. Whether they are fully under the muscle or partially under the muscle — called the dual plane approach — depends on the patient’s personal anatomy.

The incision can be placed in the armpit, on the lower edge of the nipple, or under the breast. Incisions usually heal very well with minimal scarring.

There are advantages and disadvantages to each of these incision locations. We will discuss these with you. The decision of where to place the incision is made at your preoperative visit and depends on your wishes and goals for the surgery.
