Breast Augmentation
There
are many reasons women have for wanting a breast augmentation.
Breast augmentation, surgically
known as augmentation mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure used
to enhance the size and shape of a woman's
breast. One of the reasons women might choose to have this procedure
is to enhance their body contour because, maybe for personal reasons,
they feel that their breast size is too small. They could also
want to correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy or
possibly balance a difference in breast size. Another reason might
be as a reconstructive technique following breast surgery. Well
for any reason, breast augmentation is available for those women
in New York that want it.
At our practice in New York, Dr. Zevon will perform breast augmentation
by inserting the breast implant behind the breast tissue or underneath
your chest wall muscle through an incision. The incision can be
made in the inframammary crease (the crease where the bottom of
the breast meets the ribcage), around the nipple (areola), or
via the armpit (known as the transaxillary approach). The choice
of incision for breast implant insertion will depend on patient
anatomy and patient preference.
