Breast Implant

Breast augmentation is designed to improve the size and contour of a woman’s breasts. Sagging breasts may also be helped using a breast lift procedure combined with breast augmentation.

During breast augmentation surgery a small incision is placed in a hidden area and either a saline or silicone gel implant is placed behind the breast. The implant may be placed above or below the muscle. Recovery times for breast augmentation can vary depending on the type of procedure and the individual.

There are many choices to make when considering breast enlargement including:

• Size
• Shape
• Placement
• Incision type
• Silicone vs. saline

The choices made will depend on your individual body type and personal goals. Philadelphia Breast Implant Surgeon Dr. Bottger can help you make these decisions, tell you what you can expect from breast augmentation surgery, and inform you of ay risks involved.
