Breast Augmentation in Arlington, TX | Arlington Plastic Surgery - Dr. Anthony Tran M.D.

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breasts. For patients with small or deflated breasts, this procedure can dramatically improve physical appearance and boost self-confidence.

Procedure Overview

Dr. Anthony Tran, a board-certified plastic surgeon, performs breast augmentation by carefully placing surgical implants behind the breast or chest muscle. The procedure is tailored to each patient's unique body and aesthetic goals.

Surgical Techniques

Multiple breast augmentation techniques are available, including:

• Incision placement options:
  • Inframammary (under breast fold)
  • Periareolar (around nipple)
  • Endoscopic axillary (underarm)
• Implant types:
  • Saline implants
  • Silicone gel implants
  • Textured implants
• Implant placement options:
  • Subglandular (between glands and muscle)
  • Submuscular (beneath pectoral muscle)

Procedure Details

Breast augmentation typically takes approximately one hour and is performed under general anesthesia or twilight sedation. The procedure is usually conducted as an outpatient surgery, allowing patients to return home the same day.

Recovery Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves minimal pain and typically allows patients to return to work within 2-3 days. Patients should plan for light physical activity for at least four weeks following the procedure.

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, breast augmentation carries potential risks, including:

• Swelling and bruising
• Potential infection
• Implant deflation
• Temporary or permanent changes in nipple sensation

Consultation and Personalization

Dr. Tran provides comprehensive consultations to determine individual candidacy for breast augmentation. During the consultation, patients can discuss their desired breast size, shape, and specific aesthetic goals.

Cost Considerations

Breast augmentation costs vary based on multiple factors, including implant type, surgical techniques, and anesthesia. Financing options are available to help make the procedure more accessible.
