What is Breast Augmentation?
A breast mammaplasty, also known as breast augmentation, is a popular option among women who believe their breasts are too small, have breasts that aren’t the same size or who need plastic surgery after weight loss to tighten loose skin. It can also help to restore a patient’s breast volume after pregnancy or help improve reduced volume due to age.
Dr. Roudner is a plastic surgeon in Miami, Florida who has performed many breast augmentation surgeries. He is board certified and holds various certifications in reconstructive surgery. Patients of Dr. Roudner can expect to get the best care when they come to Miami to have their breasts enlarged, resized or reshaped.
Breast augmentation is performed by using a solution of salt water or a silicone gel-like implant to imitate the tissue of a woman’s breast. For men, Dr. Roudner can reshape a man’s chest tissue to create the look the male patient wants. Length of time a breast augmentation surgery takes depends on what Dr. Roudner needs to do to give his Miami patients the results they desire.
As with all plastic surgery procedures, it is important for patients to be realistic about their expectations when coming to Miami for breast augmentation. Before-and-after pictures show results for a particular patient, and those results might not be the same for all patients. In addition, breast augmentation results might not match those of a patient’s friends.
Breast augmentation and reconstruction surgeries should not be taken lightly. Patients should consider possible complications and give the decision careful thought. While Dr. Roudner is well-experienced and qualified to perform these procedures, breast implants might need to be replaced or removed later on due to possible complications. Many implant manufacturers and plastic surgeons recommend that patients replace their implants every seven to 12 years to avoid most complications.
If potential breast augmentation patients coming to Miami have any concerns about possible problems or want more information about what to expect before, during or after surgery, they can discuss any concerns or questions with Dr. Roudner at the patient’s initial consultation.
