BREAST AUGMENTATION IN ALBUQUERQUE, NM | ALBUQUERQUE CENTER FOR
PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING BREAST AUGMENTATION PROCEDURES

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the
size and shape of a woman's breasts. Patients may seek this procedure
for various reasons, including increasing breast volume, correcting
asymmetry, restoring breast shape after pregnancy, or as a
reconstructive technique following breast surgery.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE OVERVIEW

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring patient
comfort throughout the operation. Surgical approaches may vary
depending on individual anatomy and surgical recommendations.

INCISION AND IMPLANT PLACEMENT OPTIONS

 	* Incision locations: Under the breast crease, around the areola, or
in the armpit
	* Implant placement: Directly behind breast tissue or underneath
chest wall muscle
	* Goal: Minimizing visible scarring and achieving natural-looking
results

IMPLANT PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS

Surgeons may recommend placement behind the chest muscle to
potentially reduce capsular contracture risks and improve mammogram
examination capabilities. This placement might result in slightly more
post-operative discomfort compared to direct breast tissue placement.

CONSULTATION PROCESS IN ALBUQUERQUE

During the consultation, Dr. Loutfy performs a detailed examination,
takes individual body measurements, and provides patients an
opportunity to visualize potential outcomes using implant sizing
techniques.
