Dallas breast enlargement and augmentation surgery by Dr. Paul Pin

Breast Enlargement

To increase breast size, implants containing either saline or silicone are used. Silicone implants became available again in 2006 after an extensive evaluation by the FDA documented their safety. Breast augmentation is performed either in an office facility, an outpatient surgical center or hospital, usually under general anesthesia. The incision necessary for inserting the implant can be made in the crease where the breast meets the chest, around the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple) or in the arm pit. Scars are usually inconspicuous. The breast implant may be inserted directly under breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle.

The procedure usually takes less than one hour and pain is easily controlled with medications during the first few days.. Most patients naturally restrict their activity for the first 48 hours to reduce their discomfort. Sutures are dissolvable and therefore do not need to be removed. Since there are no bandages, patients can shower the day after surgery. Most patients return to work within a few days and scars fade over several months. Swelling and “settling” usually resolve in a few weeks. The breasts are usually sensitive for two to three weeks, then normal sensation returns.

Every year thousands of women achieve great success with this remarkable procedure. A revitalized body image can make you more comfortable with yourself and confident with others.

As with any medical procedure, there are certain inherent risks which should be discussed with a qualified physician. Costs vary depending upon the extent of the surgery and areas treated.
