BREAST AUGMENTATION, BREAST IMPLANTS, BREAST ENHANCEMENT SURGERY

Dr. Amy Bandy performs surgery to enhance the breast and offers both saline and silicone gel implants. Breast implant surgery can not only increase the volume or size of the breast, but it can also help to give a better shape to the breast, as well as boost a womans feminine image. Breast implant surgery has been offered for more than 30 years, and the preference for saline or silicone has oscillated during that time. For a number of years, saline was the only implant that was approved for cosmetic use by the FDA. In recent years, silicone gel has been approved for breast enhancement due to the overwhelming evidence that the two types of implants have the same safety profile. Most women seeking breast augmentation do so because of either small breasts, asymmetric breasts, breast shape dis-satisfaction, or because they have lost volume or shape of their breasts from weight loss or childbirth. Breast augmentation surgery is one of the most common surgeries performed by Dr. Amy Bandy, and certainly one of the most rewarding. The surgery takes just over an hour, and can be done on an outpatient basis. When a woman comes into Dr. Bandy’s office, they will have the ability to do sizing so they can have a good idea of what their final outcome will be, as well as get all of their questions answered about the implants themselves, the various incisions available for the surgical approach, the difference between in front vs. behind the muscle and the expected results. Breast implants are not considered a lifetime device, however they do come with a manufacturer warranty and can be expected to last for up to 10 years or more. Dr. Bandy can help you find the implants that are right for you, and help you obtain the breast enhancement results that you have been looking for.
