Breast augmentation is a transformative procedure that can enhance your natural beauty and boost your self-confidence. Dr. Anthony Wilson at AW Plastic Surgery in New Hampshire is a renowned expert in this field, helping countless women achieve their desired looks. Let’s explore the world of breast augmentation and how it can help you feel more confident in your skin.
Understanding Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that increases the size and enhances the shape of the breasts1. This popular cosmetic surgery can be performed using either breast implants or fat transfer techniques4.
Types of Breast Implants
There are two main types of breast implants:
- Saline implants: Silicone shells filled with sterile salt water
- Silicone gel implants: Silicone shells filled with a plastic gel
Both types come in various sizes and have either smooth or textured shells2. The choice between saline and silicone implants depends on personal preference and the desired outcome. Our office only uses silicone gel implants.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation
Many women choose breast augmentation for various reasons:
- Increasing breast size
- Improving breast shape and symmetry
- Restoring volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss
- Boosting self-confidence and body image
Dr. Wilson works closely with each patient to understand their goals and create a personalized treatment plan.
