Breast Augmentation in Pensacola serving Gulf Breeze, FL
If you are unsatisfied with the appearance of your breast, a certified surgeon such as Dr. Marcus Ortega can help you. When you have a consultation at Ortega Plastic Surgery, you'll have a thorough consultation about what your expectations are. From breast enlargement reduction to better symmetry, there are many ways your local plastic surgeon can help enhance this area.
Why Get Breast Surgery
The shape, size, and volume of the breast can change as a woman ages or goes through different life events, such as pregnancy. Reconstruction surgery can help women who have dealt with an illness like breast cancer. A plastic surgeon like Dr. Ortega can use his skills to reduce or increase the size of the breast. Augmentation procedures can also make the breasts look better by making them fuller and smoother. If your breasts sag due to aging or post-pregnancy changes, a breast lift can help reshape them as the surgeon cuts away excess skin and tightens surrounding tissue to make them look more symmetrical.
The Augmentation Process
When you go through a breast augmentation, the first step is a consultation to discuss your medical history goals and what the best augmentation approach is to produce the result you want. Usually, the surgery involves being under anesthesia. Your doctor may make an incision under the breast fold or other inconspicuous areas to reduce the likelihood of visible scarring. Other incision sites include along the edge of the areola or in the armpit. If you are getting implants for larger or fuller breasts, your doctor will insert them under the pectoral muscle or directly behind the breast tissue and over the pectoral muscle. Implants may consist of silicone gel, saline, or even gummy bear implants that will maintain their shape if the shell breaks.
Some surgeons also do fat transfers in which they remove fat from other parts of your body and inject it into the breast area. The procedure may sometimes be used in cohesion with implants to help produce a more natural look, and feel and more subtle volume.
