REDISCOVER CONFIDENCE WITH BREAST AUGMENTATION AT THE LETT CENTER

At the Lett Center, we specialize in empowering individuals through transformative aesthetic journeys and we understand that each person’s aesthetic goals are unique. Whether you seek to increase volume, achieve symmetry, or restore contours post-pregnancy or surgery, our skilled breast augmentation surgeons tailor every aspect to your individual desires.

WHAT IS A BREAST AUGMENTATION?

Breast Augmentation*, also known as mammoplasty, can be a tremendous help to patients who desire a fuller profile, who have lost breast volume due to pregnancy or nursing, or who have undergone breast reconstruction and want to gain a more natural look again. While breast augmentation will usually make the breasts larger, the surgery will not move the breasts closer together or lift sagging breasts.

REASONS FOR CONSIDERING BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY

  • Enhance body shape if breasts are too small

  • Increase breast volume after pregnancy and nursing

  • Equalize a difference in breast size (cup size) to gain breast symmetry

  • Reconstruct breasts following a mastectomy or injury

BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY

Breast augmentation involves making a small incision to insert a breast implant into the breast area in order to enlarge the breast. The surgery is commonly performed on an outpatient basis at a hospital or state-of-the-art surgical unit while the patient is under a general anesthesia and asleep. There are several possible locations for the small incision that will be used for inserting the breast implant. The most frequent technique utilizes an incision made in the lower portion of the breast. Another technique, though less frequently used, involves making an incision in the armpit. A third technique makes an incision around the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple). A newer technique uses an incision in the belly button, thus reducing the chance of scarring in the breast area. The best technique will be decided together between the patient and the surgeon during the consultation.

During surgery, the breast tissue is raised to create an open pocket under the breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle. Inserting an implant behind each breast can increase a woman’s breast size by one or more bra cup sizes. Implants typically contain a saline solution (similar to saltwater) although in special cases the implants can contain a silicone gel. In some circumstances, particularly those in which there is breast asymmetry (uneven breast size), an inflatable implant may be used to allow the surgeon to adjust the level of inflation to attain breast symmetry and balance. Surgery typically lasts from 1 to 3 hours.

TYPES OF BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY

Traditional Breast Augmentation: Involves implant insertion with incision sites such as under the breast, around the areola, or through the armpit.

Transumbilical (Belly Button) Incision: An innovative technique for scar-minimization, utilizing the belly button as the incision site.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation: Offers a natural alternative by using the patient’s fat cells for enhancement.

Whether you desire a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, our skilled surgeons at the Lett Center are dedicated to helping you choose the type of breast augmentation that aligns seamlessly with your goals.

BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY RECOVERY

Generally, post-operative instructions call for plenty of rest and limited movement in order to speed up the healing process and recovery time. Bandages are applied right after surgery to aid the healing process and to minimize movement of the breasts. Once the bandages are removed, a specialized surgical bra will need to be worn for several weeks. Patients sometimes report minor pain associated with the surgery. This pain can be treated effectively with oral medication. While complications are rare, patients can minimize potential problems by carefully following the directions given by the physician after surgery.
