Overview

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures performed today. If you live in Fort Lauderdale or Broward County and are unhappy with the size or shape of your breasts, consider breast augmentation with double board-certified plastic surgeon Nathan Eberle, M.D., D.D.S., F.A.C.S. at the Weston Center for Plastic Surgery in Weston, FL.

Dr. Eberle — Recommendations for Breast Augmentation

Breasts come in all shapes and sizes, and the appearance of your breasts has a profound effect on how you feel about your body. Unhappiness with their shape or size can cause feelings of unattractiveness, low self-esteem, and even depression. Some women feel less feminine or sexy than they would like, which can affect personal and professional relationships.

Other women find that their breasts are fuller and perkier in their youth, then lose volume and firmness over time, or after bearing children. They may even sag. Patients no longer have to live with that dissatisfaction.

Breast augmentation surgery enhances the size, shape, and overall appearance of the breasts so you can feel confident again. When paired with a breast lift, the skin across the chest is tightened so the breasts sit higher and look more youthful.

Implant Options

Saline vs Silicone Implants

Breast augmentation can be performed with saline or silicone implants. Each has its own feel, profile, and reasons a patient tends to prefer it.

01

Saline Implants

Saline implants are inserted into the chest empty, then filled with saline to the desired level. Because each side can be filled to a different volume, saline implants are particularly popular among patients with asymmetrical breast sizes.

02

Silicone Implants

Silicone implants are placed pre-filled, which produces a softer, more natural feel. Because they arrive at their final shape, a slightly larger incision may be required to insert them.

The Procedure

The Breast Augmentation Procedure

Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthetic, which means you will be asleep during and immediately after the procedure. Your implant size is determined at consultation and tailored to your specification.

Once you are asleep, small incisions are made into the chest wall so that the implants can be placed. Scarring is typically hidden in the fold underneath the breast or near the armpit. While initially red, the scars fade over time.

At your consultation, Dr. Eberle helps you choose between saline and silicone implants, projection, and placement so your result fits your anatomy and goals. Breast augmentation patients throughout Fort Lauderdale and Broward County rely on his experience for natural-looking, proportionate results.

Added Lift

Combining a Breast Lift

When augmentation is combined with a breast lift, the skin and breast tissue are lifted and tightened, and the nipple repositioned, before the implants are placed. The combined procedure is slightly longer and more involved than augmentation alone, but it produces a result that addresses both volume and position in a single recovery.

This combination is common for women who have lost breast volume after pregnancy or weight change and also notice drooping or stretched skin. Dr. Eberle plans both procedures together so implant size and lift technique work in harmony.

Recovery

Breast Augmentation Recovery

Three Phases
01

The First Week

Most patients need at least a week away from work, as it can take several days before moving around feels comfortable. You will receive pain medication, and you should contact Dr. Eberle if significant discomfort persists.

02

Weeks Two to Six

A sports or post-surgical bra is essential and worn for approximately six weeks, per Dr. Eberle's instructions. Contact sports and strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks after surgery.

03

The Long View

As with any cosmetic surgery, following your post-operative guidance closely is essential. It is the single greatest predictor of an efficient recovery and a result that holds up over time.
