Types Of Breast Implant Procedures



Different surgeries. Different surgical expectations.

Several types of surgery utilize breast implants. While important aspects of the surgeries are consistent, there are important differences between augmentation and reconstruction surgeries.

Breast Augmentation Surgery

Benefits

The benefits of breast augmentation can be very satisfying to women who are unhappy with their current breast size. The breast augmentation procedure results in larger, fuller breasts. All women have different body shapes and proportions, therefore implants are not a one-size (or shape)-fits-all device.

Your Goals

While many women have breast augmentation surgery, each has a personal reason for doing so. You may desire more proportioned breasts, feel that your breasts are not symmetrical or simply wish to return your figure to how it looked before pregnancy. You know your reasons for moving forward and should communicate those to your surgeon. Together you will determine what's right for you.

Expectations

Make sure to speak with your surgeon about your expectations of the results, as well as what you can expect regarding the length of the surgery, your recovery, and any potential complications of the surgery. For more information, please read the complete patient information. You and your surgeon will work together to help you achieve the fit you desire.

Breast Reconstruction

Benefits

There are many benefits to choosing saline-filled or silicone gel-filled breast implants for breast reconstruction. That’s why breast reconstruction with an implant has been the most commonly used breast reconstruction procedure for the last 20 years. Great strides have recently been made in the field of breast reconstruction. When paired with the innovative products in the Natrelle™ Collection, your Natrelle™ experienced surgeon has access to a wide variety of options to recreate the contour of your breast and find the right fit you desire. Breast reconstruction can offer you many emotional benefits as well as physical ones, including restoring your self confidence, renewing your sense of femininity, and completing your recovery process by helping you return to your previous shape. Your surgeon will decide whether your health and medical condition make you an appropriate candidate for breast reconstruction with an implant.

Your goals

While it is important for you to realize that your reconstructed breast will not look or feel exactly like your natural breast, many women who have undergone breast reconstruction surgery enjoy a significant improvement in their emotional well-being. If your goals for breast reconstruction are to recreate the fullness of the breast that was lost and to restore a sense of feeling whole, surgery with a saline-filled or silicone gel-filled breast implant may be your best option.

Expectations

Make sure to speak with your surgeon about your expectations of the results, as well as what you can expect regarding the length of the surgery, your recovery, and any potential complications of the surgery. For more information, please read the complete patient information. You and your surgeon will work together to help you achieve the fit that’s right for you.
