Seattle Breast Augmentation Surgery– Learn About Breast Enlargement

Seattle Breast Augmentation

For women seeking increased breast volume and improved breast shape in Seattle, breast augmentation may offer the improvement you seek. Women undergo breast augmentation for numerous reasons:

add volume to breasts they've always seen as too small
restore lost breast volume due to pregnancy or weight loss
correct uneven or asymmetrical breasts
enhance over-all body proportion
simply to feel better about their appearance.

Breast augmentation offers a high rate of patient-satisfaction and is commonly sought by those seeking a sexy, renewed look.

At our state of the art facility in Lynnwood (a suburb of Seattle) Breast augmentation is performed using saline or silicone gel breast implants placed directly behind the breast or behind the pectoral muscle. Though some women choose saline (salt water) implants, others find that silicone gel implants offer a more natural look and feel. Silicone gel implants have been FDA approved for breast augmentation since 2006 and are a popular implant choice due to the excellent match for natural breast tissue look and feel that silicone implants afford. Another option, for women seeking conservative breast enlargement or contouring, is fat transfer. Through careful consultation, the cosmetic surgeons at The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery discuss with each patient which implant best meets their individual needs, including considerations such as implant size, shape, profile, and incision placement. Incisions can be made in the lower half of the areola, in the crease beneath the breast or in the underarm to hide scarring from view.

Though breast implants are long-lasting and offer a high rate of patient-satisfaction, they may not last indefinitely and may eventually need replacement. Though these issues are rare, the most common replacement reasons include leaks, deflation, and internal scarring (capsular contracture).

Breast augmentation can be performed alone, or in conjunction with a breast lift. While breast augmentation can add breast volume and improve breast shape, a breast lift may be needed to address the drooping that many women face after pregnancy, due to weight fluctuations, genetics, or the aging process. The experienced Seattle plastic surgeons at The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery can help decide whether breast augmentation alone or a breast lift/augmentation combination will best meet the cosmetic needs of an individual patient. Other plastic surgery procedures can be combined with breast enhancement, such as liposuction or a tummy tuck for a more complete body makeover.
