Breast Augmentation

Serving Vancouver and the Portland, Oregon area

Breasts augmentation is a plastic surgery procedure designed to increase the size of your breast. Breast augmentation, also referred to as breast implant surgery or breast enlargement surgery, is a common procedure used to correct a number of aesthetic problems women have with their breasts.

The most common reason to undergo breast augmentation surgery is to increase the size of both breasts. Some women may notice that one breast is smaller than the other, and they may chose to have this breast increased for balance. Breast augmentation can reshape and rejuvenate sagging breasts that are typical after pregnancy.

Many women who undergo breast augmentation surgery choose to have the procedure in conjunction with a breast lift. This combination can produce fantastic results, often giving the patient a boost of confidence and self-esteem.

The breast implant surgery typically lasts about one hour. During this time, you are put to sleep and Dr. Workman will make an incision along your bustline. The breast implants are inserted through the incision, and stitches are used to close the incision. Although the incisions will leave scars, Dr. Workman will try to make these scars as inconspicuous as possible. Often, these scars are can easily be concealed with regular clothing.

Breast implants may be silicone or saline. Choosing the type of implant, as well as choosing between submuscular and subglandular implantation, are decisions you will make with the help of Dr. Workman. During your initial breast implant surgery consultation, Dr. Workman will discuss your goals, explain the breast augmentation procedure, and answer any questions you might have.
