What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance breast size, often using implants or fat transfer. Many women seek breast augmentation to achieve fuller breasts, improving their body balance or meeting personal aesthetic goals. Dr. Adam Weinfeld, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Austin, TX, offers personalized breast augmentation treatments, ensuring natural and symmetrical results tailored to each patient's desires.

Why Consider Breast Augmentation?

Women opt for breast augmentation for various reasons, including naturally small breasts, post-pregnancy changes, or restoring breast volume after weight loss. This procedure can boost self-confidence by creating a more proportionate figure and allowing women to fit better in clothing designed for fuller breasts.

Breast Implant Options

Dr. Weinfeld offers two types of breast implants:

• Saline Implants: Filled with sterile salt water, saline implants can provide a firmer feel but may result in less natural contours.
• Silicone Implants: Made with cohesive silicone gel, these implants are soft, flexible, and provide a more natural appearance.

Implant Placement

Implants can be placed in two locations:

• Subpectoral (Under the Muscle): Commonly used to create a natural slope and offer better support.
• Subglandular (Above the Muscle): Preferred for patients with adequate breast tissue, offering less interference with muscle movement.

Fat Transfer for Breast Augmentation

In addition to implants, Dr. Weinfeld offers fat grafting, which involves transferring a patient's fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs to the breasts. This is ideal for those looking for a modest size increase and natural results.

Surgical Approach and Recovery

Dr. Weinfeld uses precise surgical techniques to minimize scarring and promote quick recovery. Most patients return to work within 1 to 3 days and resume normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Discomfort is typically minimal, and results offer long-lasting satisfaction.
