Breast Augmentation

During your consultation with Dr. Fealy, you will be given information which will help you make the best implant choice to meet your needs and expectations. A variety of implant options are available. Dr. Fealy offers patients a choice of saline or silicone implants. Implant selection also includes the choice of shell, (smooth or textured surface), the size, the shape and the projection of your implants.

Implants come with low, medium or high projection, which determines how far forward your breasts will be after surgery. Implant shape options include round, anatomic, and teardrop.

Dr. Fealy specializes in using two types of incisions to start the breast augmentation procedure. In both cases, resulting scars are hardly noticeable because they are so well hidden. One site is where the bottom of the breast meets the chest wall, or ‘infra-mammary’, where a small incision will be made, hidden by the crease of your own breast. The other incision is through the areola, or ‘peri-areolar’, which is in the pigmented area of skin surrounding the nipple. Implants may be placed over or under your chest muscles. Dr. Fealy will advise you on which incision and which implant location best suits your anatomy, skin type and other factors. Post-operative recovery can be made very comfortable with the use of a temporary ‘pain pump’ in addition to standard pain medications.

To help give you an idea of what your breast augmentation may look like, Dr. Fealy offers:

• Before-and-after pictures of former breast enlargement patients.
• “Sizing,” whereupon office-use implants will be placed in your bra to get a sense of the implant’s weight and size after the procedure.
