Enhance Shape And Contour

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast Augmentation in Providence, RI  Providence

Breast augmentation is designed to enhance both the shape and the size of the breasts. It's an ideal choice for women looking to add volume and enhance the contours of their breasts to achieve a more proportionate and confident appearance. It is a highly versatile procedure, allowing you to achieve results that align with your individual goals.

For patients experiencing sagging of the breasts, a breast lift (mastopexy) may be recommended in conjunction with breast augmentation. This combination of procedures allows Dr. Brower to not only enlarge and reshape the breasts but also to lift them to a higher position on the chest wall and reposition the nipple as needed for more youthful contours.

Adult women of all ages can be good candidates for breast augmentation in Providence. The procedure does not typically interfere with the ability to breastfeed in the future. During your consultation with Dr. Brower, he will carefully listen to your goals and conduct a physical examination to create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your unique desires and anatomy.

What does Breast Augmentation address?

Breast augmentation is a versatile procedure that enhances the size, shape, and symmetry of your breasts. Here at Brower Plastic Surgery, we understand that every woman has unique reasons for seeking this surgery, and we are committed to helping you achieve your personal goals with compassion and expertise. Whether you're looking to boost your confidence or address specific concerns, breast augmentation can help with:

  • Increasing Breast Size: For women who feel their breasts are too small, breast augmentation can provide a fuller, more proportionate figure.
  • Restoring Volume: Pregnancy, weight loss, and aging can lead to a loss of breast volume. This procedure helps restore that youthful fullness.
  • Improving Symmetry: Many women have natural asymmetry between their breasts. Breast augmentation can create a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.
  • Enhancing Shape: If you're unhappy with the shape of your breasts, augmentation can help achieve a rounder and more aesthetically pleasing contour.
  • Reconstructive Purposes: Breast augmentation is also a key part of breast reconstruction for women who have undergone mastectomy or other breast surgeries.

By tailoring each procedure to your specific needs and aesthetic goals, Dr. Brower ensures that your results look natural and complement your overall body shape.

What Are the Different Types of Breast Implants?

Choosing the right type of breast implant is an important step in your breast augmentation journey. At Brower Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of implant options to ensure that you achieve the look and feel you desire. Here's a breakdown of the different types of breast implants available:

Silicone Gel Implants

Silicone gel implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. These implants are popular due to their ability to provide a natural look and feel. They are less likely to ripple and are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit your individual needs.

Saline Implants

Saline implants are filled with a sterile saltwater solution. They are inserted empty and then filled once they are in place, allowing for a smaller incision. Saline implants can provide a firmer feel and can be adjusted for size during the surgery. In the unlikely event of a rupture, the body harmlessly absorbs the saline.

Gummy Bear Implants

Gummy bear implants, also known as form-stable implants, are made from a highly cohesive silicone gel that retains its shape even if the implant shell is broken. These implants are teardrop-shaped, providing a more natural contour that closely resembles the natural shape of the breast. They are less likely to wrinkle and are a good option for women seeking a more anatomical look.

Smooth vs. Textured Implants

Smooth implants have a smooth outer shell and move freely within the breast pocket, which can provide a more natural movement. They are less likely to cause rippling under the skin. Textured implants have a rough outer shell that adheres to the surrounding tissue, reducing the risk of movement within the breast pocket. They are often used to minimize the risk of capsular contracture, a condition where scar tissue forms tightly around the implant.

At Brower Plastic Surgery, Dr. Brower will guide you through the selection process, helping you choose the implant type that best matches your body type and aesthetic goals for your breast augmentation surgery. Your satisfaction and comfort are our top priorities, and we're here to ensure you achieve beautiful, natural-looking results.

Now Offering Motiva Implants®

Motiva implants represent the latest innovation in ergonomic breast aesthetics, designed to move dynamically with your body for an exceptionally natural look and feel. Utilizing an ultra-soft, cohesive gel and an advanced biocompatible shell, Motiva implants adapt to gravity—behaving like natural breast tissue whether you are lying down or standing upright. Dr. Brower offers Motiva implants for patients seeking state-of-the-art safety features, a soft tactile feel, and a beautifully natural silhouette.

How Do I Choose the Right Breast Implant Size and Profile?

Choosing a breast implant involves more than selecting a cup size. Implant size, shape, profile, and projection can all influence the final appearance of your breasts. Your natural breast tissue, chest width, body proportions, skin quality, and aesthetic preferences are also important considerations.

Whether your goal is a subtle enhancement or a fuller, more noticeable result, Dr. Brower will help you explore implant options that complement your anatomy and create the proportions you envision.

Breast Augmentation with Lift

Combining breast augmentation with a breast lift (mastopexy) can yield outstanding results, especially for women looking to enhance both the size and position of their breasts. This dual procedure not only increases breast volume but also addresses sagging, resulting in a more youthful and perky appearance.

By integrating these two surgeries, Dr. Brower can help you achieve a fuller, more lifted look in a single operation. At our practice in Providence breast augmentation restores lost volume and enhances shape, while the lift corrects drooping and repositions the nipples to a higher, more aesthetically pleasing location. This combination is particularly beneficial for women who have experienced significant changes in their breasts due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

For those seeking a more natural approach to breast enhancement, fat transfer breast augmentation offers an excellent alternative. This procedure involves using your own body fat, harvested from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, and transferring it to the breasts.

Fat transfer breast augmentation can provide subtle, natural-looking results with the added benefit of body contouring from the liposuction process used to collect the fat. This method is ideal for women who prefer to avoid implants or want to enhance their breasts without significantly increasing their size. The results feel more natural because the augmentation uses your body's own tissue, and there is no risk of implant-related complications. Additionally, the absence of foreign materials means fewer long-term maintenance considerations.

Add Volume

What are the benefits of Breast Augmentation?

With Breast Augmentation Providence patients experience both physical and emotional benefits, as well as a boost in self-esteem and confidence as they achieve their desired breast size and shape. The procedure can:

  • Enhance breast volume and fullness
  • Improve breast symmetry
  • Create a more balanced physique
  • Increase clothing options 
  • Boost self-image

Dr. Brower and his team at Brower Plastic Surgery are committed to ensuring that every patient receives the benefits they seek from breast augmentation while maintaining a natural and aesthetically harmonious appearance.

Breast Augmentation Candidates

Breast augmentation is an excellent option for women looking to enhance their breast size, restore lost volume, or correct asymmetry.

Ideal candidates for this procedure are generally in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the results. Certain factors may disqualify individuals from undergoing breast augmentation, such as allergies to anesthesia or implant materials, chronic health conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or cardiovascular diseases, mental health concerns such as body dysmorphic disorder, or women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding. At Brower Plastic Surgery, Dr. Brower ensures a comprehensive consultation to assess your health, medical history, and aesthetic goals, ensuring that breast augmentation is a safe and suitable choice for you.

An Alluring Aesthetic

Your Breast Augmentation Procedure

Dr. Brower performs breast augmentation with the use of general anesthesia. Patients typically return home the same day as their procedure. Incisions are expertly placed to keep surgical scars minimal, usually measuring less than two inches, and discreetly located in the fold underneath the breast. To achieve a natural look, most patients benefit from the placement of the implant underneath the pectoral muscle, allowing the breast tissue to naturally re-drape over the implant.

While breast implants are commonly used, providing a range of sizes and shapes to choose from, some patients may be candidates for fat transfer. This technique involves removing fat from one area of the body and using it to increase breast size. In some cases, a combination of both techniques may be recommended to achieve the desired results.

Placement With Purpose

Over or Under the Muscle: Where Are Breast Implants Placed?

Breast implants may be positioned above or below the chest muscle depending on your anatomy, implant selection, and desired outcome. Placement beneath the pectoral muscle can provide additional implant coverage and is commonly used to create a smooth, natural transition between the chest and breast.

There is no single placement technique that is ideal for every patient. Dr. Brower considers factors such as your existing breast tissue, body proportions, implant choice, and aesthetic goals when determining the appropriate approach for your breast augmentation.

A Better Fit

Breast Augmentation Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from breast augmentation is typically routine, allowing most patients to return to their daily activities within a reasonable timeframe. 

  • Most patients take about one week off from work after breast augmentation.
  • A surgical bra is worn for three months following surgery to provide support and aid in the healing process.
  • Strenuous activities, particularly lifting and running, should be avoided for approximately six weeks to ensure a smooth recovery.

Breast Augmentation prioritizes patient safety and comfort. Dr. Brower and his team provide comprehensive guidance on the recovery process to ensure optimal results at Brower Plastic Surgery.

Thoughtfully Concealed

What Will My Breast Augmentation Scars Look Like?

Breast augmentation does require an incision, but careful placement can help keep the resulting scar discreet. Dr. Brower typically places the incision within the natural fold beneath the breast, where it can be easily concealed by the breast itself and most bras or clothing.

Scars are initially more noticeable and gradually mature and fade with time. Dr. Brower will provide instructions for caring for your incisions throughout recovery to support proper healing and the best possible aesthetic outcome.

Life-Enhancing

Breast Augmentation Results

The results of breast augmentation are often life-enhancing. Achieving enhanced breast volume and improved contours and symmetry can provide a boost in self-confidence and improved body image. Dr. Brower's expertise ensures that the results look natural and your breasts are proportionate to your body, giving you the appearance you desire and inspiring you to live life to the fullest.

How much does Breast Augmentation cost?

The cost of breast augmentation typically includes several components: the surgeon's fee, anesthesia fees, and facility fees. These elements ensure that you receive comprehensive care from your initial consultation to your recovery. The type of implants chosen, whether silicone or saline, can also impact the overall cost. Additionally, geographic location plays a role in pricing, as costs can vary based on the local market and cost of living. Dr. Brower and his team will provide you with a detailed breakdown of all costs during your consultation, ensuring transparency and helping you understand what to expect financially.
