Post-Bariatric Plastic Surgery Texas

By placing a breast implant behind each breast, we are able to increase a woman’s chest by one or more bra cup sizes. It can also improve the shape of the breasts. We feel that the shape of the breast is just as important as the size.

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures available at our San Antonio practice. Through a detailed consultation and evaluation with her patients, Dr. Barone establishes which type of breast implant and which type of incision is appropriate for each patient. Today, implants are highly advanced to create a full, natural look that complements the individual patient's body type and desired look.

He physical exam will help determine the best option of implant location (on top of the muscle or below the muscle), incision (inframammary fold or periareolar) and implant type (silicone or saline). The implant can be placed on top of the muscle (subglandular) or below the muscle (submuscular). Subglandular implant placement is valid in women who have a moderate amount of breast tissue present before surgery and physically active women or bodybuilders. Incision placement is usually below the breast in the inframammary fold. In women with large areola (pigmented portion of breast) a periareolar incision can be used with and without areolar reduction. It is very common for women to have some asymmetry of the breasts. After breast augmentation some asymmetry may still exist. Correction of mild asymmetry in size can be improved by filling saline implants with different amount of fluid. To correct severe asymmetry a breast lift or reduction of the larger breast may be needed at the time of the breast augmentation

If so then the mommy makeover may be just what you need. The "mommy makeover" is a term used to describe procedures of the breast and abdomen for women who have children and are not planning future childbirth. Common concerns after childbirth are sagging breasts with loss of volume and excess skin and bulging of the abdomen. The breast surgery usually consists of breast augmentation with possible breast lift. A Tummy tuck and potentially liposuction addresses the abdominal concerns. For more information read the sections on breast augmentation, breast lift, and tummy tuck.

A breast augmentation procedure, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, refers to the surgical insertion of implants into the breasts to increase the size of the breasts or to make them more proportional to the body.

Breast augmentation, or enlargement, remains one of the most common cosmetic surgical procedures performed. An implant is placed behind the breast tissue either in front of, or behind, the muscle to enhance the shape and size of the breast. Ideal implant placement along with the choice of the right breast augmentation procedure will be determined after a consultation with Dr. Gallas. Decisions will be made regarding the size, shape and type of implant. Different techniques – including implant position and incision choice for achieving your desired improvements – will also be discussed in detail. This discussion will focus on your concerns and goals. Relevant history relating to the breast such as previous surgery, pregnancy, breastfeeding and family history of breast cancer will be explored. Breast augmentation in the presence of breast ptosis, or “droopiness,” requires correction with mastopexy (breast lift) in addition to augmentation. This is particularly common after pregnancy or other instances of weight gain and loss.

Breast implant surgery can do more than simply enlarge your breasts. This surgery, medically termed augmentation mammoplasty, can also help: Balance your breasts if they are unequal in shape or size Add firmness if your breasts have lost volume. (If you also have sagging, breast augmentation can be combined with a breast lift.) Bring your upper body into better proportion to your lower body
