What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a breast enlargement procedure. Breast augmentation can increase the size of small, underdeveloped breasts, or breasts that have lost volume after pregnancy, weight loss, surgery, etc.

Breast augmentation can also be used to correct breast deformities or asymmetry.

The true medical term for this procedure is Augmentation Mammaplasty. Traditionally, breast augmentation in Chicago includes placing breast implants. At Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute, we also offer fat transfer breast augmentation in Chicago, and some other non-surgical enhancements.

Breast Enlargement in Chicago | Breast Implants

Breast implants are available in an assortment of shapes and sizes. Patients and surgeons can choose between saline or silicone implants, smooth or textured, round or anatomic, and various projections.

At Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute, our team collaborates with each patient to pinpoint the most suitable implant type for their needs and expectations. This helps avoid the need for costly revision surgeries later on and ensures client satisfaction.

During your breast augmentation consultation, our team will perform a thorough evaluation to recommend the best implants for you.

Implant Types

You’ll have the opportunity to select from two types of breast implants: saline and silicone. Each variety is available in numerous shapes and sizes, with the primary distinctions being between the materials and textures.

Silicone implants are gel-filled, exhibiting a highly authentic feel and texture. Additionally, thanks to the consistency of “gummy bear” implants, the gel remains intact even if an implant casing gets torn. Unlike saline breast implants, which contain a saltwater solution.

Another primary distinction between these two options is how the implants are filled. Silicone breast implants are pre-filled and cannot be altered. However, saline implants are filled during surgery, allowing for smaller incisions compared to those required for silicone implants.

Choosing between silicone or saline implants boils down to which option aligns best with your aesthetic objectives. While saline implants may require smaller incisions, silicone implants provide a more natural feel.

Your cosmetic surgeon will play a crucial role in determining the most appropriate type of implant for your needs. This includes assessing the best material, shape, and texture. At the Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute, we will evaluate your physical health and personal preferences before finalizing a treatment plan.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation aims to enhance breast size while refining breast shape, symmetry, and overall appearance. There are many benefits to getting breast implants in Chicago, such as the following:

  • Breast augmentation allows individuals to obtain a fuller, more feminine figure.

  • Breast augmentation can permanently correct breast asymmetry and sagging breasts.

  • Women can regain their confidence after going through physical changes caused by things like pregnancy, breastfeeding, surgery, hormonal shifts, etc.

  • Injuries to the breast tissue can be corrected and shape and volume can be restored.

  • Breast implants can be used to replace lost breast tissue after a mastectomy or double mastectomy.

Breast Augmentation Results

Breast augmentation surgery provides incredibly long lasting results. The longevity of the final results can vary based on the individual, type of implants used, and surgical technique. On average, breast implants may last anywhere from 10-20 years or longer.

Over time, factors such as aging, gravity, weight fluctuations, breastfeeding, and hormonal changes can alter breast appearance. Some clients choose to undergo revision surgery to replace old implants or refine their results after time passes.

What to Expect During A Breast Augmentation Procedure

During breast augmentation surgery, your surgeon can insert your implants either above or below the chest muscle. There are three different incision placements used for this type of surgical procedure.

  • Below the breast and along the breast crease

  • Around the nipple, at the juncture where skin meets the areola

  • Underneath the armpit

Each type of incision comes with its own benefits and drawbacks. However, regardless of incision placement, scarring is minimal and seldom prominent. Any scars resulting from the surgery will also fade over time.

The placement of your implants will help your surgeon determine which incision technique is most optimal.

Implant Placement

Surgeons can place breast implants in one of three locations underneath the breast tissue. These include:

  • Subglandular – Above chest muscle

  • Subpectoral – Below chest muscle

  • Dual-Plane – Partially below chest muscle

Subglandular placement is usually less invasive than the other alternatives. However, subpectoral and dual-plane have other advantages you will discuss with your surgeon before a treatment plan is finalized.

The Recovery Process

Breast augmentation recovery looks different on everyone. In most cases, it takes patients about 4-6 weeks to fully recover and 3-4 months to see their final results.

You will be instructed to wear a supportive surgical bra for several weeks. Immediately after the procedure, small drainage tubes may be placed to help reduce fluid retention around the surgical site. These tubes are usually removed within 1-3 weeks.

You will likely experience bruising, swelling, and tenderness for up to 5 weeks. However, most patients are able to return to work 1-2 weeks after surgery. Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting until you have fully recovered.

Will There Be Scarring?

Scars from surgery are unavoidable, but those left behind by breast implant placement are small and easily hidden. Regardless of the incision method used, you should hardly notice your scars. They will also fade naturally over time.

Can I Breastfeed With Breast Implants?

Yes, you will be able to breastfeed even after receiving breast implants.

How Much Does Breast Augmentation Cost in Chicago?

Breast augmentation in Chicago from Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute will vary in cost depending on the extent of your surgery. Many women opt for additional procedures to perfect their results, such as a breast lift or tummy tuck. Breast augmentation is also a common part of Mommy Makeovers in Chicago.
