Breast Augmentation Middletown, CT | Dr. Mari Rebane-Mazzotta, MD

Understanding Augmentation Mammaplasty

Augmentation mammaplasty, commonly known as breast enlargement, is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast size and correct breast asymmetry. Ideal candidates include women seeking larger breasts or those looking to restore breast volume lost due to pregnancy or significant weight loss.

Breast Augmentation Techniques

Implant-Based Augmentation

Breast augmentation with implants offers two primary options: silicone and saline. Silicone implants provide a more natural feel, while saline implants offer safer absorption in case of rupture. The procedure typically involves placing implants behind breast tissue or chest-wall muscle.

Implant Placement Options

• Behind chest-wall muscle: Potential reduced capsular contracture risk
• Beneath breast tissue: More natural movement and breast positioning

Fat Transplantation Augmentation

Fat transfer breast augmentation uses liposuction to harvest excess fat from other body areas and inject it into the breasts. This technique is ideal for patients seeking subtle, natural-looking enhancement.

Surgical Process and Recovery

The breast augmentation procedure typically takes 1-2 hours under general anesthesia. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. Recovery varies by technique, with patients often returning to work within a week.

Potential Risks and Considerations

• Capsular contracture
• Implant rupture or displacement
• Potential changes in breast sensation
• Possible need for future touch-up procedures
