Aesthetic Issues Addressed by Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is an effective solution for a wide range of aesthetic concerns. Common issues include:

  • Breasts that are naturally small or lack volume.
  • Asymmetry between the breasts, where one is noticeably smaller or shaped differently than the other.
  • Sagging or deflated breasts caused by weight fluctuations, aging, or post-pregnancy changes.
  • Volume loss due to aging or genetics, leading to a flatter appearance.
  • Dissatisfaction with previous breast augmentation results from another surgeon.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation offers numerous benefits that go beyond aesthetics. These include:

  • Enhanced curves that help balance your body proportions.
  • Restored volume and a more youthful breast shape.
  • Improved symmetry for uneven breasts.
  • Boosted self-confidence and a more positive body image.
  • Customizable results that align with your specific goals and lifestyle.

Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is an excellent option for women with good overall health and realistic expectations for their results. Ideal candidates include those who:

  • Want to enhance their breast size or shape.
  • Are looking to correct asymmetry or restore volume lost due to aging or pregnancy.
  • Are non-smokers or willing to quit smoking prior to surgery.
  • Have stable body weight and a healthy lifestyle.

During your consultation, Dr. Tseng will assess your medical history, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals to determine if breast augmentation is right for you.

A CUSTOM BREAST ENHANCEMENT FROM DR. TSENG: WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

Dr. Tseng performs fully customized breast augmentation surgery, which may include:

SILICONE BREAST IMPLANTS

Silicone implants come in a vast range of sizes and shapes and are often chosen by women as they have the most natural softness, weight, and bounce.

SALINE BREAST IMPLANTS

Saline implants are filled after being placed so the size can be custom adjusted to achieve the ideal size for you. These implants require shorter incisions due to being filled after placement.

FAT TRANSFER BREAST AUGMENTATION

Fat is harvested from another area of your body with gentle liposuction, purified, and then transferred to add subtle, long-lasting volume.

COMBINATION TREATMENTS

Breast augmentation may be performed in conjunction with a breast lift or other cosmetic enhancement.

Breast Augmentation Procedure

The first step is a free, private consultation with Dr. Tseng regarding his options for a breast augmentation in Kirkland. The consultation will include an examination, a review of your medical history, and an in-depth discussion about your aesthetic goals. If you choose to undergo a breast enhancement, we will schedule your surgery. We will provide complete pre-operative instructions, including avoiding smoking and certain medications for a couple of weeks before surgery.

A breast augmentation procedure is performed under general anesthesia. It usually takes about two hours. Since there is anesthesia needed for a breast augmentation Kirkland patients will need to arrange for transportation home after surgery, as well as someone to assist them at home for a few days. Patients will need to sleep on their back and not lift anything or raise their arms above their shoulders during the initial healing phase.

Implant Placement Options

Breast augmentation isn’t just about choosing the right size or type of implant—it’s also about selecting the best placement option for your body and goals. Dr. Tseng will guide you through the two primary placement options:

Submuscular (Under the Muscle)

This technique places the implant beneath the pectoral muscle, offering several advantages. Submuscular placement can create a more natural slope at the upper breast, particularly for women with less natural breast tissue. It also reduces the risk of capsular contracture (a condition where scar tissue hardens around the implant) and provides better coverage, making the edges of the implant less visible. This option is especially beneficial for those seeking a more natural look.

Subglandular (Over the Muscle)

With subglandular placement, the implant is positioned above the pectoral muscle but beneath the breast tissue. This option often results in a shorter recovery time and may be ideal for women with enough natural breast tissue to cover the implant. Subglandular placement can also create a fuller appearance at the upper breast, which is desirable for some patients.

Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is an excellent option for women with good overall health and realistic expectations for their results. Ideal candidates include those who:

  • Want to enhance their breast size or shape.
  • Are looking to correct asymmetry or restore volume lost due to aging or pregnancy.

  • Have stable body weight and a healthy lifestyle.

During your consultation, Dr. Tseng will assess your medical history, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals to determine if breast augmentation is right for you.

Each placement has unique benefits, and Dr. Tseng will help determine which is best suited to your anatomy and aesthetic goals during your consultation.

Surgical Techniques for Breast Augmentation

The approach to breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors, including your anatomy, implant choice, and desired results. Dr. Tseng offers multiple incision options to ensure minimal scarring and optimal outcomes:

  • Transaxillary Incision:
    This technique involves making an incision in the natural crease of the armpit. The advantage is that it leaves no scars on the breast itself, making it an excellent choice for patients who want completely scar-free breasts. The implants are inserted using advanced surgical tools, and this method is often used for saline implants.
  • Inframammary Incision:
    The inframammary incision is one of the most common approaches, involving an incision made in the natural fold beneath the breast. This location allows the scar to be discreetly hidden while providing direct access to the breast pocket. It is suitable for all types of implants and provides excellent precision for placement.
  • Periareolar Incision:
    This technique involves making an incision along the edge of the areola (the darker skin around the nipple). The scar blends naturally with the areola’s border, making it difficult to notice. This option is often chosen for its aesthetic advantages and works well for women undergoing breast augmentation combined with a lift.

Each technique has its advantages, and Dr. Tseng will recommend the best option based on your anatomy, implant type, and preferences.

Combination Procedures: Augmentation with Lift

Breast augmentation can be enhanced when combined with a breast lift (mastopexy). For women experiencing sagging due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss, combining these procedures can address both volume and position for a more comprehensive transformation. While augmentation restores fullness and shape, the lift repositions the breasts higher on the chest and tightens the surrounding skin for a youthful and perky appearance. This combination is ideal for women who want to achieve both size enhancement and a more lifted silhouette in one surgery.

Results of Breast Augmentation

The results of breast augmentation are immediate, but it’s important to note that swelling and bruising are normal in the initial weeks following surgery. As your body heals, your breasts will settle into their final shape, revealing fuller, more proportionate curves. The results are long-lasting, especially when maintained with a healthy lifestyle and proper post-surgical care.

Recovery After Breast Augmentation

Recovery from breast augmentation is generally smooth, with most patients returning to work within a week. During the initial healing phase, you’ll need to avoid lifting heavy objects, raising your arms above your shoulders, or sleeping on your stomach. Light activities can be resumed after two weeks, while more strenuous exercises may take up to six weeks. Dr. Tseng will provide detailed aftercare instructions and closely monitor your progress to ensure optimal healing.

Cost of Breast Augmentation

The cost of breast augmentation varies depending on factors such as the type of implant, surgical technique, and whether additional procedures like a breast lift are included. During your consultation, Dr. Tseng will provide a detailed cost breakdown and discuss financing options to make your procedure as accessible as possible. At Tseng Plastic Surgery, you’ll receive world-class care at a reasonable price.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION?

After your breast augmentation Kirkland Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Tseng, will provide complete post-surgical care instructions. Recovery may vary depending on your health and the specific technique used, but you should be able to return to work in about a week and resume most normal activities, including exercise, within about six weeks. We will be carefully monitoring your progress throughout your recovery and are always available if you have questions or concerns.

WHERE ARE THE INCISIONS?

Depending on the type of implants, three incision options are available:

  • Periareolar: An incision around the areola of the nipple.
  • Inframammary: In the natural breast fold.
  • Transaxillary: Through the armpit (saline only).
