Breast Augmentation in Georgia by Dr. John Paletta, MD
Breast Augmentation in Richmond Hill, GA
Understanding Breast Augmentation Procedures
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size, shape, and symmetry. Patients may choose this surgery for reconstructive purposes or cosmetic enhancement. Dr. John Paletta specializes in personalized breast augmentation techniques tailored to individual patient goals.
Implant Options
Two primary breast implant types are available:
- Saline implants: Silicone shells filled with sterile saltwater
- Silicone gel implants: Silicone shells filled with cohesive plastic gel
Surgical Procedure Details
Breast augmentation typically requires 1-2 hours under general anesthesia. Dr. Paletta strategically makes incisions in inconspicuous locations, such as under the breasts, under the arms, or around the nipples. The implant is carefully positioned either above or below the chest muscle.
Recovery and Potential Risks
Post-surgical recovery involves minimal activity for several weeks. Patients should anticipate temporary swelling and gradual scar healing. Potential surgical risks include:
- Temporary nipple and breast sensation changes
- Potential scar tissue development
- Rare infection possibilities
Implant Considerations
Patients should understand potential long-term implant considerations. Saline implants will visibly deflate if ruptured, while silicone ruptures may be less immediately apparent. Regular medical consultations help monitor implant integrity and overall breast health.
