Breast augmentation is a gratifying procedure for both patients and surgeons. Patients benefit from enhanced breast shape, size, projection, symmetry, and improved cleavage. As a surgeon, we are challenged to deliver excellent results while maintaining a natural balance between increased breast volume and the chest wall.
The concept of tissue-based planning is crucial in breast augmentation. It’s about finding a middle ground between your desires and what your breasts can accommodate.
Every consultation begins with understanding your motivations, wishes, and expectations. The goal is to improve your body satisfaction and self-confidence.
Several anatomical factors must be considered when planning breast augmentation:
- Current breast volume and tissue composition
- Breast shape, nipple position, and proportions
- Skin quality and elasticity
- Breast position relative to the chest
- Inframammary fold position and definition
- Breast and chest wall width ratios
This analysis informs decisions about:
- Appropriate implant shape
- Implant placement plane
- Incision location
- Suitable implant volume
Patients often have specific ideas about implant volume and shape. The surgeons at the Ogeeplast Clinic take time to understand these expectations and concerns. Then, we thoroughly analyze your breasts to determine if your desired implants are suitable. We explore various options and conduct try-on sessions guided by my measurements.
If our opinions align, we proceed to discuss the procedure and post-operative care. If expectations seem unrealistic, we explain why a different approach might yield better, more stable long-term results. Mismatched expectations often involve desire for implants too large for the breast tissue, which can lead to complications like bottoming out, overstretched lower poles, skin thinning, and implant malposition.
By adhering to tissue-based planning principles, selecting appropriate implants for each breast, and performing meticulous surgery, we can achieve remarkable results.
