Breast Augmentation FAQs
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a transformative cosmetic procedure that enhances the size, shape, and symmetry of your breasts. Using either implants or fat transfer, this procedure is ideal for women who want to restore volume lost due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging, or for those simply looking to achieve a more proportional, contoured silhouette.
At Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, Dr. Christopoulos offers both silicone and saline implants, carefully selected to suit your individual anatomy and desired outcome. These advanced implants are designed to last for decades, often remaining in excellent condition for over 20 years. With Dr. Christopoulos’s expert guidance, you can expect results that are both long-lasting and beautifully natural.
Why Choose Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is more than a cosmetic enhancement—it’s a way to reclaim confidence, restore balance, and feel at home in your own body. Patients choose this life-changing procedure for a variety of reasons, including:
- Enhancing self-esteem and body image
- Restoring volume and shape after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
- Achieving a proportional balance between the breasts and hips
- Correcting natural asymmetry in breast size or shape
- Creating a silhouette that aligns with your unique body type and aesthetic vision
In addition to its cosmetic benefits, breast augmentation can also be a vital part of recovery and reconstruction following injury, trauma, or mastectomy. Implants are highly customizable, allowing Dr. Christopoulos to help you achieve a look that is uniquely yours, whether you’re enhancing your natural features or restoring your confidence after a life-changing event.
Key Considerations Before Breast Augmentation
Undergoing breast augmentation is an exciting and empowering decision, but it’s essential to approach it with careful planning and realistic expectations. Here’s what you need to know:
- Health and Candidacy:
Good overall health is crucial for a successful procedure and recovery. During your consultation, Dr. Christopoulos will review your medical history and ensure you’re a suitable candidate for surgery. - Implant Placement Options:
Placement options include under the pectoralis muscle, partially under the muscle, or above the muscle. Each option offers unique benefits, and Dr. Christopoulos will help you determine the best approach for your body and goals. - Incision Locations:
Incisions can be made discreetly under the breast (inframammary), around the areola, or in the armpit. These options ensure minimal visible scarring while achieving your desired results. - Combining with a Breast Lift:
If sagging or drooping is a concern, a breast lift can be performed in conjunction with augmentation to achieve a more youthful, perky appearance.
Dr. Christopoulos takes a patient-centered approach, providing honest, detailed guidance to ensure you feel informed and confident every step of the way.
The Breast Augmentation Process
Breast augmentation is a highly personalized procedure designed to deliver stunning, natural-looking results. Here’s what you can expect during your journey:
- Anesthesia:
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery. - Surgical Procedure:
The surgery typically takes 1–2 hours. Dr. Christopoulos will carefully place the implants through discreet incisions, ensuring symmetry, proportion, and a natural appearance. - Precision and Safety:
As a double board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Christopoulos uses advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology to ensure your procedure is safe, efficient, and effective.
Recovery and Post-Operative Care
Recovery after breast augmentation is a critical part of your journey, and Dr. Christopoulos and her team are here to support you every step of the way.
- Initial Recovery:
Bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort are normal during the first two weeks. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks. - Post-Surgery Care:
Dr. Christopoulos will provide detailed instructions, including recommendations for supportive bras and massage techniques to aid healing and optimize your results. - Long-Term Care:
While implants are designed to last for decades, it’s important to maintain regular check-ups and be aware of potential changes over time. Some patients may choose to replace or remove their implants in the future due to personal preference or lifestyle changes.
