Breast Augmentation High Point, NY | Virgil Willard

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation surgery is a personalized cosmetic procedure designed to increase breast volume and enhance overall breast shape. The surgery involves strategically placing implants to achieve a patient's desired aesthetic goals, addressing concerns about breast size and symmetry.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal candidates for breast augmentation are individuals in good health who desire improved breast volume and shape. Dr. Willard carefully customizes each procedure to match the patient's unique physical characteristics and aesthetic objectives.

Implant Options

Implant Materials

• Saline: FDA-approved for women 18+, with a soft shell filled with saltwater solution
• Silicone: FDA-approved for women 22+, featuring cohesive gel that mimics natural breast tissue

Placement Techniques

• Submuscular: Implants placed under muscle and glandular tissue for natural appearance
• Subglandular: Implants positioned over pectoral muscle for quicker recovery

Surgical Procedure

The breast augmentation procedure typically takes one to two hours under general anesthesia. Dr. Willard creates strategic incisions, carefully inserts and positions implants to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.

Combination Procedures

Patients may choose to combine breast augmentation with other procedures like breast lift or mommy makeover to achieve comprehensive body contouring results.

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients return to work within two weeks and can resume regular exercise after six weeks. Initial swelling and bruising are normal, with major swelling typically subsiding within six weeks.

Potential Risks

While breast augmentation is generally safe, potential risks include infection, changes in breast sensitivity, and eventual implant replacement. Dr. Willard provides comprehensive consultation to minimize complications.
