February 24, 2025When you come in for a breast augmentation, you’ve probably already decided that you want to have an operation to improve the way you look, and are just seeking out the best professional to help you through the process. Our board-certified and board-eligible plastic surgeons have performed countless breast augmentations and know all the various reasons why women continue to seek out this popular procedure. Here’s what you need to know about the benefits – and potential risks – of getting a breast augmentation.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation
There are numerous benefits to visiting North Texas Plastic Surgery and signing up for a proper breast augmentation.
Customized Outcomes with State-of-the-Art Implants
Our plastic surgeons strive for perfection, using only the latest surgical techniques and the finest implants available. From a subtle, natural-appearing augmentation to a more dramatic profile, we have all kinds of implant shapes and materials available (including Sientra, Mentor, Motiva, and Allergan). This helps ensure the outcome will be best tailored to your body type and personal preference – not a cookie-cutter result that everyone gets. And you will just love the way your enhancement merges naturally into your surrounding contours.
Greater Confidence
Breast augmentation can have a huge effect on your relationship with your own body. Many of our patients appreciate that, after their surgery, they feel much more confident in their clothes and appearance. The psychological and emotional benefits can be equally rewarding as the physical transformation, leaving you looking great, but also feeling better and more at ease in your own skin.
Long-Lasting Enhancement
The breast implants we place are designed to last. If properly cared for and periodically checked, your augmentation will remain in the correct shape and position for years to come. While the implants may need to be replaced down the road, there is no set-in-stone timeline for doing so, and we can always consult with you about if, and when, it is time to revise or replace your implants.
Risks of Breast Augmentation
Even though breast augmentation is a largely safe operation, it is always a good idea to consider all the associated risks in order to set your mind and make the best decision.
Surgical Risks
As with any surgery, risks do exist, such as infection, bleeding, scarring, or reactions to anesthesia. Our team is very meticulous in their technique, using the most current surgical advancements and safety precautions to minimize these risks. You will have your surgery in our state-of-the-art in-office surgical facility in Southlake where patient care is always the number one priority.
Implant-Related Complications
Though uncommon, this may include implant rupture or capsular contracture, which is the formation of scar tissue around the implant. If this happens, we have the skill to perform breast revision surgeries to replace the implant or reposition them in your chest. If you decide that an explant surgery is preferable, we can also go that route and discuss alternative options.
Sensation Changes
Some patients leave the surgery with temporary or permanent changes in sensation regarding the breast or nipple area. These usually are temporary; however, they can sometimes linger. Approximately 98% of patients have normal sensation after a breast augmentation and 95% have normal sensation after a breast lift once everything is healed.
