Breast Augmentation in Gainesville, FL | Dr. Gregory Gaines

What Is Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Some women may feel self-conscious about their breast size, shape, or asymmetry. These conditions can result from genetic factors, environmental influences, hormonal changes, and physiological transformations following pregnancy.

Breast enlargement surgery, also known as augmentation mammaplasty, is performed to:

• Accentuate feminine curves
• Enhance overall figure
• Address size and shape differences in asymmetrical breasts

Types of Breast Implants

Saline Breast Implants

Saline implants feature a round silicone shell filled with sterile saltwater solution. Key characteristics include:

• Smaller incision potential due to post-insertion filling
• Less expensive compared to silicone gel implants
• 10-year replacement warranty

Cohesive Silicone Gel Breast Implants (Gummy Bear Implants)

Silicone implants consist of a silicone shell filled with cohesive gel, offering multiple benefits:

• More natural look and feel
• Diverse shape and size options
• Lifetime manufacturer warranty

The Breast Augmentation Procedure

Breast enlargement surgery involves creating a pocket for implant placement, which can be positioned either:

• Underneath the pectoral muscle
• Directly behind breast tissue

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can anticipate:

• Initial soreness for the first few days
• Increased breast sensitivity for 2-3 weeks
• Potential return to light activities after two weeks

Scarring Considerations

Dr. Gaines strategically places incisions to minimize visible scarring, typically around the areola's border. Scar appearance typically improves over 12 months.
