Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size and improve overall shape and proportion. This is accomplished by strategically placing breast implants either beneath the glandular breast tissue or under the chest muscles.
For many individuals, this transformative procedure can be truly life-altering, significantly boosting self-confidence and fostering a greater sense of comfort and poise in their attire and overall body image.
What sets Amelia Wilmington apart is our unwavering commitment to a truly individualized approach, affording you the complete freedom to choose every aspect of your breast augmentation journey.
Dr. Anthony Azzolini offers rapid recovery techniques. This innovative approach often allows for a considerably quicker return to your normal daily activities compared to conventional methods, thereby minimizing downtime and maximizing your comfort throughout the healing process.
During your comprehensive consultation for breast augmentation in Wilmington, NC, you will have an invaluable opportunity to discuss your specific preferences in detail, guided by an experienced plastic surgeon.
Your meticulously crafted treatment plan will include careful consideration of:
- Breast Implant Size: This crucial measurement, typically expressed in cubic centimeters (cc), directly influences the ultimate size and fullness of your augmented breasts. Dr. Anthony Azzolini will collaborate closely with you to determine the ideal size that beautifully complements your unique body type and aligns perfectly with your aesthetic vision.
- Breast Implant Brand: Amelia in Wilmington offers a carefully curated selection of industry-leading implant brands, each possessing distinct characteristics and advantages. Dr. Anthony Azzolini will provide a thorough explanation of the nuances of each brand to empower you in making an informed decision.
- Sientra
- Motiva
- Mentor
- Breast Implant Profile: This characteristic defines how much the implant projects outward from the chest wall. Options generally range from low to high profiles, influencing the visual fullness and overall shape of the breast when viewed from the side.
- Breast Implant Placement: This refers to the precise positioning of the implant in relation to your pectoral muscle. Common options include subglandular (over the muscle), submuscular (under the muscle), or subfascial (under the fascia), each affecting 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, widely recognized for providing a very 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 Wilmington, we understand that choosing to undergo breast augmentation is a significant personal decision. Our dedicated team is committed to providing exceptional care, from your initial consultation through your rapid recovery and beyond, ensuring a smooth and highly satisfying 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.
