{Best Breast Enhancements}

If you are looking to improve the aesthetic appearance of your breasts, you have several breast enhancement surgery options to choose from. Some of the most common options available are:

• Breast augmentation
• Breast lift
• Breast reduction

Both Breast Augmentation and Breast Reduction are mainly Volume-enhancing procedures. Breast Lifting and many times Breast Reduction are Shape-enhancing Procedures.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is an excellent option of you would like to:

• Increase the size or volume of your breasts
• Correct asymmetrical breasts
• Reduce the appearance of sagging

Your breast enhancement goals can usually be achieved by the three most common incision locations that your plastic surgeon can choose to use. Your surgeon may make the incision by the areola, under the breast, or in the crease of the arm pit. You will also have several different options for implant placement. Your breast implants can be placed over the muscle, partially under the muscle, or completely under the muscle.

You will be able to choose between silicone-gel filled and saline-filled breast implants. Since the FDA reapproved the use of silicone-gel implants more than a year ago, they have been growing in popularity due to their more natural look and feel. Your breast surgeon will discuss the pros and cons of each implant type at your initial consultation.

Breast Lift

Over time, the affects of gravity can cause breasts to sag. If your breasts have begun to sag as a result of aging, pregnancy, or fluctuations in your weight, then a breast lift may be the best option to help you regain the perky breasts of your youth.

During a breast lift procedure, your plastic surgeon will make an incision around the areola. Excess skin will be removed and your surgeon will reposition your areola. The skin near the areola will then be pulled downward in order to reposition your breast higher on your chest. In general the greater the amount of drooping, the more extensive the llifting must be and the longer the incision must be. Dr Hendricks has utilized the French and Canadian Vertical Breast Lifting techniques which leave much shorter incisions and a very natural appearance.

Breast Reduction

Overly large breasts are not always advantageous. They can result in serious neck and back pain, skin irritation, and breathing complications. Frequently, athletic women with very large breasts find it difficult to participate in sports.

If you suffer from one or more of these problems caused by large breasts, then you may be an ideal candidate for breast reduction surgery. One incision will be made near the areola, and another will be made along the downward curve of the breast. Your plastic surgeon will then remove tissue, fat, and skin before repositioning your areola. Before the incision is closed up, your breast skin will be pulled down to lift the breast.

Breast reduction surgery is sometimes covered by health insurance since it may be deemed medically necessary if you suffer from health issues. It is important to ask your plastic surgeon if this procedure is covered by your insurance when talking about breast enhancement financing options.
