What is Breast Augmentation?

Our breast augmentation in Utah surgery is a procedure designed to enhance the volume of breasts. Many improvements can be expected following completion of a successful breast augmentation:

The size of the breast may be increased to improve overall body proportion and to create a harmonious balance of the torso.
Restore lost volume following pregnancy or weight loss.
Provide improved symmetry between the breasts, creating a better volume and shape match
Breast augmentation usually involves the use of a patient’s own fat or a breast prosthesis (implant) to accomplish these tasks

In general, women are very pleased with the results of Breast Augmentation and would readily undergo the procedure again. Breast augmentation is among the highest ranking cosmetic surgery procedures in terms of patient satisfaction. This surgery can have a very powerful impact on the patient’s self-esteem and has been shown to alleviate depression and provide an overall improvement in a patient’s quality of life.

Breast augmentation with breast lift may be right for you.

Breast augmentation alone does not correct severely sagging or drooping breasts. In some cases, a breast lift may be required to allow you to achieve the best possible result. A breast lift can be performed along with breast augmentation. For the best results in a breast augmentation Utah has to offer, Dr. Brzowski can assist you with determining if a lift is necessary during your consultation.

How much does breast augmentation cost?

Breast augmentation is a highly personalized surgery, with each patient choosing the best type of implants, incisions, and implant placements for their body and lifestyle. Because of this, fees vary from patient to patient. A general range is $5,000 to $10,000 for the surgery. Additional costs may be incurred if the patient undergoes a breast lift simultaneously, as is often the case. Insurance does not cover breast enhancement for cosmetic reasons. If you have questions about your health insurance, It's best to speak with your insurance carrier. We can set you up with some excellent financing options and payment plans so you can get started right away. Costs should not prohibit you from pursuing breast augmentation with the surgeon you feel most capable and experienced; you need to feel confident and secure in your appearance.

What Are My Breast Implant Options?

You have several options for breast implants. The type of material filling the implant may be either saline or silicone. Furthermore, if you choose a silicone implant, there are now different thicknesses and firmnesses of the implants. Also, you will have a choice of a round implant or a shaped implant. Lastly, you’ll have the option of a textured or smooth device. Each of these decisions will impact your final result, so your consultation with Dr. Brzowski will educate you regarding the advantages and disadvantages of these options.

Implant types

Silicone

Silicone implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel very much like jello. Older styles that are no longer in use were filled with a gel more similar to shampoo or honey. Currently used silicone gel implants have essentially three varying thicknesses/cohesivenesses of the gel and include the “gummy bear devices”. These variations impact the roundness of the upper part of the implant when upright, the smoothness and the firmness of the implant. They are available in many sizes, shapes, and levels of projection. These implants are felt to most closely match the weight and bounce of natural breasts. Most patients and surgeons believe them to feel and look the most natural. In general, the warranty on silicone implants is for life. Compare these implant features with saline implants.

Gummy Bear

Also called “form stable” implants. These are silicone gel implants with a much more cohesive silicone gel. In the past, they were only available in a teardrop shape to mimic a “natural” breast shape. Recently several versions of the gummy bear implant have been released in a round shape. Dr. Brzowski will let you know if you are someone who would benefit from the use of a gummy bear breast implant.

Saline

Saline breast implants are filled with sterile water that is added to the implant during the surgery. They are also available in many sizes, shapes and levels of projection. Typically, patients with saline implants will feel firmer, potentially have less fullness in the upper part of the breast unless the implant is overfilled with saline, and experience more rippling. This rippling may be able to be felt with the hand or in more severe cases seen. Saline implants tend to put more stretch on the lower part of the breast during vigorous physical activity making them a poor choice for active women especially those with poor strength in that part of their breast tissue. The warranty on saline implants in currently for 10 years.

The four primary decisions about breast augmentation:

There are four primary decisions to be made when considering breast augmentation:

The incision used for insertion of the implant;
The shape of the implant used;
The size of the implant; and,
The composition of the filler material, either silicone gel (and the variations in gel thickness) or saline.

The Decision to Have a Breast Augmentation

This is a complex decision that is best made after the consultation with Dr. Brzowski and a discussion with you regarding your goals and expectations for the procedure. Many patients will bring in a supportive family member or friend to help them consider the factors involved in the decision. In the right surgical candidate with the right expectations, the rewards can be remarkable. Women who have undergone breast augmentation often comment on the benefits of no longer needing padding in their bras, the fact that their sports bras no longer squeeze them flat, and the niceness of feeling more comfortable in their swimsuits and in the nude with their significant other. An enhanced feeling of feminity is typically encountered.

Breast Augmentation Incisions

The location of your incisions is an important point to consider. The incision locations include in the breast crease at the bottom of the breast, at the bottom of the darker skin of the nipple (areola), in the armpit or through the belly button. For a multitude of reasons and patient preferences, the majority of our patients undergo this procedure through an incision in the breast crease. You’ll have an opportunity to consider the pros and cons of each of these during your consultation.

What is the recovery?

The recovery from our breast augmentation in Salt Lake City is generally very fast and not an exceptionally experience. Importantly, a quick recovery is facilitated by a gentle, careful and delicate approach. Dr. Brzowski has incorporated the techniques of a fast recovery in his “Soft Touch Augmentation” which great reduces complications, recovery times and patient satisfaction. Dr. Brzowski’s technique is one that many other surgeons attempt to to copy.

A further benefit of the Soft Touch Augmentation is the lessened need for narcotic medication. Many patients find that they are able to remain quite comfortable through the use of options such as Tylenol or Motrin. Because Dr. Brzowski is focused on an excellent patient experience, for those who are unable to resolve their discomfort or pain using just those medications, narcotic pain medications and muscle relaxants will be made available.

What are the risks?

Breast Augmentation is a surgical procedure that should ideally be performed by a surgeon who has undergone rigorous multi-year training program under the guidance and observation of multiple different surgeons. Because safety is always the top priority, your surgeon should be “top shelf” with a background that involved many years in education, training, and experience.

As with any surgical procedure, risks such as infection, bleeding, scarring and poor healing may occur. Because we are dealing with two breasts (one on each side), unevenness in size and position may occur. In fact, most patients come to us with some differences in the appearances of their breasts prior to surgery. Remember, “breasts are sisters, not twins.” A change in nipple sensation is another potential but very uncommon risk. Dr. Brzowski has examined the statistics of patients undergoing a breast augmentation in his practice and discovered that the risk of permanent numbness is 100x lower with him than the national average. Breakage of the implant(s), formation of a firm scar around the implant called a “contracture” or a rotation or inversion of the implant are possible complications.

Choose the Right Breast Surgeon

The success of your procedure is the directly impacted by the experience, skills and talents of your surgeon. It is our opinion that your surgeon is should be board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. As well, membership and active participation in the local and national plastic surgery organizations is a positive sign of expertise and ongoing education. Here in Utah, the Utah Plastic Surgery Society is the only local society representing the board-certified plastic surgeons of the state. Membership in this society is a sign of high ethical standards and the respect of one’s colleagues. Dr. Brzowski has been proud to have served two terms as President of the Utah Plastic Surgery Society.

It is helpful to read patients reviews, ratings on various sites, and look over the before and after gallery of your plastic surgeon. You are advised to meet with the surgeon in person, as a successful breast augmentation requires good communication between you, the staff, and your doctor, This personal connection is difficult to establish without a face to face appointment.

It is critical to see how you feel while visiting the practice, how you are treated, and your comfort level. Dr. Brzowski and his staff always put the patient’s needs first, and have a genuine commitment and deep interest in the well-being of each and one. Look for accreditations for onsite surgical centers, such as AAAASF certification, as you can be confident that the surgical center meets very high standards for patient health and safety.

Review the educational background of the surgeon, and the quality and reputation of the educational facility. Find out the area of training that your prospective surgeon obtained immediately following medical school. The only training programs certified by the American Board of Medical Specialities that include training in breast augmentation are plastic surgery residency programs.

Experience

Experience matters in quality of results. Ensure your treatment is performed by a highly-experienced breast augmentation surgeon. There are few things that develop the skill set of a surgeon quite like performing a high volume of surgical cases. Dr. Brzowski routinely performs 3-4 x the national average of breast augmentations. In fact, he has consistently been the top and among the top breast augmentation surgeons in the utilization of gummy bear breast implants. His advice on breast augmentation has been sought out and he has had the opportunity to lecture colleagues from around the world regarding breast implants. His lecture on “Breast Implant Choices” has been routinely remarked as a favorite of attendees at educational meetings.
