Breast augmentation - also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that increases the size, shape, or fullness of the breasts. Depending on the recommendation of the surgeon and the patient’s aesthetic goals, the procedure may use breast implants or the patient’s own body fat.
Breast augmentation is the most frequently performed cosmetic surgical procedure in Canada and the United States. Every year, hundreds of thousands of women undergo breast augmentation to enjoy a fuller cup size, better contour and breast size and shape that is in balance with their individual body. Dr. Edouard Coeugniet is pleased to be one of Montreal’s most in-demand breast surgeons.
Breast augmentation involves the creation of an incision in the breast to place the breast implant of your choice. In cases of breast augmentation with fat transfer, fat is collected from another area of the body and injected into the breasts. Each breast augmentation procedure is personalized to the patient to ensure optimal results.
We know that every woman is unique in both her desires and her body shape. With that in mind, Dr. Edouard Coeugniet will take the time during the pre-operative consultation to learn what each woman hopes to gain from breast augmentation surgery and to decide which implant type and implant placement are best. In this way, every one of our patients enjoys a completely customized treatment designed with her specific goals in mind.
Once you have decided to make this exciting new change and undergo breast augmentation in Montreal, you will need to provide medical clearance from your family physician. You will be given instructions as to how to prepare for breast augmentation, and will be given prescriptions to be filled in advance. A custom-made post-surgical garment will be ordered for you by Dr. Edouard Coeugniet’s office, eliminating unnecessary bother or fuss.
The world of breast implants offers a variety of options for patients seeking a more enhanced and confident appearance. There are two basic types of breast implants: saline and silicone. Both are approved by Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and both have proven effective at bringing patients successful breast augmentation results.
“ 2 of the most common implant types are Saline Breast Implants and Silicone Breast Implants, each with their unique advantages and characteristics”
Saline breast implants are the most common type used in breast enlargement surgery. They are composed of a silicone outer shell, and are filled with a sterile salt-water solution. Saline breast implants are not pre-filled before insertion – they are empty once placed into the breast pocket and then filled later during the procedure. This is advantageous in that the incision made for placement is often smaller for saline breast implants, which typically results in less scarring. One disadvantage of saline implants is they can cause the appearance of rippling under the breast in some cases. Some patients have also experienced capsular contracture, a condition characterized by scar tissue forming around the implant and giving the area a hardened feel.
Silicone implants are made of a silicone outer shell containing a silicone gel. This type of breast implant can often feel more natural than its saline counterpart, and there are less instances of rippling with silicone implants. However, silicone implants typically require a larger incision for placement. Also, if the implant ruptures, it is less noticeable and less easily absorbed by the body than with saline implants. Patients who have silicone breast implants should have their breasts checked regularly to make sure they are functioning properly, and should not hesitate to call their doctor if they feel something may be wrong with the implant.
TRANSFORMATIONS
Getting a procedure is a tremendous personal investment. However, it is not a decision that should be made lightly or in a hurry. Rushing might influence you to choose the wrong shape or go too big, which may impair you from running, jumping, or performing certain physical activities with ease. Go too small, and you may feel underwhelmed with your new look.
