What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast Augmentation is a surgical procedure for women looking to add fullness, regain volume, achieve proportion, or find a new normal post-mastectomy. During the procedure, saline or silicone gel breast implants are added with either subfascial placement (just below the fascia tissue in the muscle) or submuscular placement (below the muscle).

For women experiencing insecurities about the size or shape of their breasts, breast augmentation can help achieve fuller and more proportionate breasts, enhancing physical appearance as well as self-esteem and overall confidence for years to come!

Breast Augmentation is a complex procedure that requires careful planning with a highly trained and experienced plastic surgeon. Our patients receive exceptional care throughout the entire process with safe, successful outcomes that exceed expectations!

What are the Factors to Consider Before Breast Augmentation?

Type of Breast Implant

Breast implant technology and technique has changed significantly over the past 2 decades. Today there are two types of implants available for breast augmentation: saline and silicone gel. It is important to note that both types of implants have a shell made of silicone. There are advantages and disadvantages to all implants. Each implant provides a different type of look depending on your body type.

Location of the Incision

Over the years, there have been a variety of incision sites used for Breast Augmentation surgery. Our surgeons have found that the best placement for the incision is in the Inframammary Fold located underneath the breast. This location allows for minimal visible scarring with the lowest risk of complication. While we strongly encourage this incision site, other options, such as through the areola, can be discussed.

Placement of the Implant

There are two choices for implant placement: Subfacial or Submuscular. There are advantages and tradeoffs to each implant location.

Prior to the 1980’s, most breast implants were placed above the muscle, but due to the high rate of hardening of the tissue around the implants in the 1990’s (also called capsular contracture) the transition was made to the majority of implants being placed under the muscle, or submuscular placement.This change decreased the risk of capsular contracture from 20% to under 5%. Today with better implants, better surgical techniques, and more women doing extreme exercising there is a trend toward placing implants over the muscle but under the fascia, or Subfascial placement. The early studies are suggesting that the capsular contracture rate is the same as if the implants are being placed under the muscle.

After your physical assessment and listening to your concerns, Dr. Bonness or Dr. Rowe will recommend which type of implant, incision site, and implant placement would be most appropriate for you.

BEFORE & AFTER GALLERY

Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Breast Augmentation is recommended for patients who are at least 18 years of age and are unhappy with the shape, size, or loss of volume of their breasts. To ensure you are an appropriate candidate for a Breast Augmentation, we begin with an initial consultation.

The initial consultation is a 45 minute appointment. You will spend the first 30 minutes meeting with Dr. Bonness or Dr. Rowe and our Medical Assistant. During this time, we will collect a health history and do a physical assessment. Your surgeon will cover all of the basic aspects of Breast Augmentation Surgery, and you will be able to ask any questions that you may have regarding the surgery. After your surgeon has completed her portion of the consultation, you will meet with one of our surgical coordinators. During this time, we will provide you with a quote for your surgery, discuss financing options and explain the next steps in moving forward with your surgery scheduling.

Types of Breast Implants

Saline

Saline implants are filled with a sterile salt water solution and offer flexibility in size adjustments during surgery. They tend to be less expensive than silicone implants, but may not feel as natural.

Silicone Gel

In general, silicone gel implants have a more natural look and feel with less wrinkling. If you are very thin and have no breast tissue, you will feel the implant more, so the gel may be a better aesthetic option. The newer gel implants have a thicker, rupture-resistant shell and a more cohesive, almost solid gel inside with a more optimal fill. All gel implants in the United States are cohesive silicone gel, ensuring if they do rupture the gel does not spread into the surrounding tissue. The rupture-related problems we saw with the pre-1992 thin-shelled, wrinkly liquid gel implants are now extremely rare.

Natrelle implant profiles

Natrelle Silicone Gel Implants

Natrelle breast implants are made with a cohesive gel that holds shape while maintaining a soft feel. Their gel implants contain a patented shell technology and an INTRASHIEL barrier layer designed to keep the gel in place.

Natrelle offers five different profile options, ranging from low to extra full. Different implant profiles offer varying levels of forward projection from your chest for your
desired fullness. It’s not just about the look, but also the feel. Natrelle is the only implant brand that offers three gummy levels for a firmer or softer feel. Both Dr. Bonness and  Dr. Rowe prefer the Soft Touch, as it is a nice balance between softness, firmness, and fill.

Motiva Silicone Gel Implants

Motiva is the latest cohesive gel implant to become FDA-approved in the United States. It uses a patented Smooth Silk Ergonomix technology to decrease capsular contracture and implant rupture while also adapting shape as your body changes positions. The true monobloc shell results in a natural feeling and moving implant. Your breast implants can now have a round shape when lying down and a teardrop shape when standing up!

Submuscular Placement

Implant placement below the muscle, also known as submuscular placement or subpectoral placement, involves placing a breast implant beneath the pectoralis major muscle. It provides a more natural look and feel, less chance of wrinkling and implant visibility, less scar tissue formation around the implant, and better visibility on future imaging such as mammograms.

Advantages

  • More tissue coverage to hide the implant
  • Less visible implant edges and wrinkling
  • Better for very thin patients with minimal breast tissue
  • Better for mammograms
  • Historically lower capsular contracture rate

Disadvantages

  • Animation issues-where you see the implant move with muscle flexing. (Usually mild but can be severe)
  • Slightly more early activity restriction
  • Possible shoulder dynamics interference

Subfascial Placement

Subfascial Implant placement beneath the fascia, involves placing a breast implant beneath the layer of connective tissue covering the pectoral muscle, but above the muscle itself. It provides a more natural look and feel, especially for athletic women or women with chest wall deformities, while also decreasing recovery time.

Advantages

  • No interference with pectoralis muscle
  • No animation issues-where you see the implant move with muscle flexing
  • Quicker recovery time to normal activity
  • May be better for women that do a lot of upper body resistance training or athletes
  • Better for women with chest wall deformities where the sternum is sloped inward (excavatum), tubular breasts, or very wide separation of the breasts/wide set breasts
  • Possible when requesting larger implants

Disadvantages

  • Possible more implant visibility and palpation in thin patients with minimal breast tissue and fat (Can be improved with fat grafting)
  • Possible higher capsular contracture rate

Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting

Fat grafting procedures are gaining in popularity as an option to add volume to the breast. Fat grafting can be done as a stand-alone procedure to make the breast fuller or it can be done to improve the results of a breast lift or implant. Bonness Cosmetic of Brookfield, WI, helps patients get professional breast reshaping through fat grafting.

As a stand-alone procedure, fat grafting can add a small amount of fullness to the breast. Patients can expect to go up half a cup size. Because fat is very soft, it does not achieve the significant fullness you see with implants. Fat is removed from one part of the body, like the abdomen, flanks or thighs and placed into the breast. This 2-hour outpatient surgery is done under general anesthesia.

Fat Grafting for Patients with Breast Implants

Fat grafting can also be done as an “add on” procedure in very thin patients who already have breast implants. In this situation, adding fat around the implant can help soften and hide visible implant edges. Fat grafting can also be added on after a breast lift to add more volume to the top of the breast. A breast lift is a great procedure to raise a fallen breast to a higher position, but it does not add fullness to the breast.

The advantages of fat grafting are that minimal incisions are used and no foreign body is placed. The fat that survives the procedure will last and will act like a normal breast.

Limits of Fat Grafting

There are some limitations to fat grafting the breast. Unlike breast implants that can increase the size of the breasts significantly by multiple cups, fat grafting will add only a small amount. When placing fat in the breast, only a percentage of it will survive. Immediately after surgery, the breast will be quite full, but this will decrease over the year to a final smaller volume. Studies are underway to help increase the survival of fat cells that are transferred. The final results are not evident for 9-12 months.

Fat grafting can also be very technique-dependent. Large boluses of fat should not be injected as that increases the chance of the fat not surviving. Small amounts of fat using small cannulas should be layered in.

Other trade offs include possibly needing multiple fat grafting sessions to achieve the size you want and the reabsorbing fat can cause calcifications on mammograms that need to be followed. Bonness Cosmetic consultations will go over your options for reshaping and sizing your breasts.

Internal Bra With Breast Surgery

Breast surgery can improve the shape and size and position of your breast tissue but it cannot change the inherent characteristics of your breast tissue and skin. An internal bra used in breast surgery procedures (breast reduction, breast lift, or breast augmentation) provides internal support to the breasts with an absorbable mesh material. It helps support either the breast tissue or breast implant from stretching the bottom of the breast too much (stretch deformity). Adding the absorbable mesh can improve the outcome of surgery, especially in women with inherently lax tissue.

The internal bra absorbable mesh is designed to create additional support to help hold an implant or lifted breast tissue in place. This support helps prevent sagging and helps ensure a more natural, long-lasting result. However, it cannot lift a breast to a higher position on the chest wall if you are low breasted.

Patients that may benefit from Internal Bra Absorbable Mesh Support

  • Massive weight loss patients
  • Inherent poor tissue with laxity
  • Extra large implants
  • Smooth implants
  • Saline implants
  • Chest wall asymmetries with fold asymmetry when the fold needs to be lowered, or sloping chests
  • Revision for fold issue,double bubble, symmastia (uniboob)
  • Low breast footprint

Disadvantages of Internal Bra Mesh Support

Not FDA-approved to be used in the breast yet—It is all used off label
Adds additional cost to breast procedure
