During your comprehensive consultation for breast augmentation in San Antonio, TX, you will have ample opportunity to thoroughly discuss your preferences, guided by the expert insights of Dr. Marcos Lopez.
Your tailored plan at Amelia San Antonio will include considerations such as:
- Breast Implant Size: This crucial measurement, typically expressed in cubic centimeters (cc), directly determines the overall size and fullness of your enhanced breasts. Dr. Marcos Lopez will collaborate closely with you to select the ideal size that harmonizes with your body type and aligns with your aesthetic aspirations.
- Breast Implant Brand: Amelia in San Antonio offers a carefully curated selection of industry-leading implant brands, each possessing unique attributes and advantages. Dr. Marcos Lopez will provide a detailed overview of each to facilitate your well-informed decision.
- Sientra
- Motiva
- Mentor
- Breast Implant Profile: This characteristic defines how much the implant projects from the chest wall. Available options generally range from low to high profiles, influencing the visual fullness and shape of the breast when viewed from the side.
- Breast Implant Placement: This refers to the precise positioning of the implant relative to your pectoral muscle. Common placement options include subglandular (above the muscle), submuscular (beneath the muscle), or subfascial (under the fascia), each impacting the final look and tactile feel of the augmentation.
- Breast Implant Type: This broadly categorizes the material used to fill the implant. The two primary types offered are:
- Silicone Gel Implants: These are filled with a cohesive, "gummy bear"-like silicone gel, prized for delivering a highly natural feel.
- Saline Implants: These implants are filled with sterile salt water, inserted in an empty state, and then meticulously filled during the surgical procedure.
At Amelia San Antonio, we recognize that the decision to undergo breast augmentation is a profoundly personal one. The dedicated team, led by Dr. Marcos Lopez, is committed to providing exceptional care, from your initial consultation through your rapid recovery and beyond, ensuring a smooth and gratifying journey toward achieving your desired aesthetic outcome.
You may be a candidate for breast augmentation if you’re concerned by one or more of the following:
- You wish to increase their size, volume, and fullness.
- Your breasts are disproportionate or asymmetrical in size, shape, or volume.
- Your breasts have lost shape and volume due to factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant weight loss, or aging.
- You experience a lack of fullness or an "empty" appearance in the upper part of your breasts.
- You have developmental abnormalities or tuberous breasts
What do breast augmentation scars look like?
Armpit (Transaxillary) Scar
The armpit (transaxillary) scar is discreetly placed within the natural folds of the underarm, allowing for breast implant insertion without incisions on the breast itself.
Crease (Inframammary) Scar
The crease (inframammary) scar is the most common scar. It's positioned in the natural fold beneath the breast, providing direct access for implant placement and often resulting in a well-concealed incision.
Periareolar Scar
The periareolar scar is carefully placed along the edge of the areola, utilizing the change in skin tone to camouflage the incision for implant insertion.
Breast Implant Profile
Profile refers to the “projection” of the implant in relation to the base width of the implant. For the same volume (e.g. 300cc), a low profile implant will typically be wider with less projection than a high profile implant. Many factors like your anatomy and personal goals, go into choosing the right implant profile. Your surgeon will help you determine what profile is right for you at your consultation.
Implant placement is where your surgeon will put the implant.
- Subglandular Placement
Also known as over the muscle placement, the implant is placed over the pectoral muscle. - Subfascial Placement
The implant is placed under the fascia that covers the pectoral muscle. - Submuscular Placement
Also known as under the muscle placement, the implant is placed under the pectoral muscle.
