What Is Breast Augmentation?

It is possible to achieve the fuller, perkier, more symmetrical appearance of the breasts you desire at Queen City Plastic Surgery. There are a number of breast augmentation techniques that can help you to reshape your breasts, add volume, or achieve greater balance. You may have always wanted to change the size of your breasts, or you may want to reverse changes brought about through weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.

When you feel great about the appearance of your breasts, you can enjoy greater body confidence and pride. Many satisfied patients report an improved quality of life after their augmentations. Because Dr. Haque in Charlotte is a skilled, experienced plastic surgeon, your augmentation procedure will be precisely tailored to your body’s shape and anatomy, yielding the beautiful results you deserve.

Selecting Your Implants

As part of your treatment journey, Dr. Haque will assist you in making a series of choices regarding your surgery, guiding you toward the best decisions for your comfort, preferences, and overall well-being. Together, you will choose the following:

Type of Implant

There are two major styles of breast implants available to women in Charlotte. Both silicone gel implants and saline implants are safe and FDA-approved, and both can produce beautiful results with a natural look and feel. While silicone implants have a gel filling, saline implants have a saltwater solution inside. Both types are encased in a silicone elastomer outer shell. Your surgeon will review the profiles of each type of implant to help you make an informed decision. Some women prefer the feel of silicone implants, while others prefer saline options.

Implant Size

It is essential to recognize that larger is not always better when it comes to implant size. Factors such as your chest width, height, weight, activity level, and aesthetic preferences will all impact your decision around implant size. During your private consultation in Charlotte, Dr. Haque will allow you to “try on” various implants under your blouse so you can get a sense of the right fit for your body type and goals.

Implant Placement

There are several options for implant placement, including behind the breast tissue (subglandular), beneath the pectoral muscles (submuscular), or the dual-plane method, which combines the benefits of the two previous options. While a subglandular approach is often recommended for those with mild breast ptosis (sagging), the submuscular position reduces the risk of capsular contracture and allows easier mammography.

Incision Placement

Dr. Haque can use several different types of incisions to place your implants. He will make recommendations based on your choice of implant type, the desired outcome, and your body type to determine the best surgical approach. Incisions may be made in various locations, such as beneath the breast or along the areola border, depending on your specific needs. Dr. Haque will personalize the approach to you. In all cases, your Charlotte breast augmentation plastic surgeon will use the smallest, least visible incision possible to achieve your goals, avoid scarring, and create a durable, natural fit and placement.

Who Are the Best Candidates for the Breast Augmentation Procedure?

You may be a great candidate for a breast augmentation if you are a healthy woman in Charlotte who wants to change the appearance of your breasts. Because augmentation is such a personal procedure, it is important that you choose this option to meet your own goals for your body. Women who choose on their own to pursue breast augmentation report high levels of satisfaction with the outcomes.

Breast augmentation is suitable for adult women who have fully developed breasts that they consider to be too small. In some cases, the shape and size of your breasts may have changed with age, or after weight loss or pregnancy. In other cases, you may have always had one breast that is smaller than the other, and you may be bothered by the disparity in and out of clothing. In addition, the best outcomes are achieved in women who are satisfied with their current weight and do not plan significant future weight gain or loss.

What Are the Benefits of Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, performed with elegance and nuance by Dr. Haque in Charlotte, comes with an array of powerful benefits, including:

  • Creates a more feminine, attractive figure
  • Restores volume, shape, and vitality to the chest
  • Rewinds the clock on aging
  • Corrects changes in the physique due to pregnancy or weight fluctuations
  • Expands wardrobe choices
  • Boosts confidence and self-esteem
  • Enhances balance and symmetry in the figure
  • Long-lasting, natural-looking outcome

What to Expect on the Day of Breast Augmentation Surgery

On the day of your surgery in Charlotte, we will welcome you to our state-of-the-art facility and briefly review your treatment plan. The surgery takes around one to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring you sleep deeply while Dr. Haque reshapes and rejuvenates your upper body profile. During the procedure, the doctor will create incisions according to your personalized surgical plan, carefully minimizing scarring and enhancing overall balance. He will create capsules in the chest and then painstakingly insert the implants utilizing today’s most advanced techniques. Dr. Haque may combine breast augmentation with a breast lift or fat transfer for the best results. Once all changes have been completed, your incisions will be closed, and you will be placed in the recovery area for careful monitoring until you awaken and are ready to go home.

Breast Augmentation Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Breast Augmentation Care

Your board-certified Charlotte plastic surgeon will provide you with detailed guidance throughout your recovery. Generally, you can begin light exercise approximately 1 week after your surgery. It is best to wait for around three weeks after your NC breast augmentation to resume more strenuous physical activities. Additionally, your surgeon will provide detailed guidance on your return to work or childcare responsibilities.

After your procedure, you will see the effects of your augmentation immediately. In the first weeks after your augmentation, your breasts may feel firm and swollen; however, within 12 weeks, you will begin to see the final results of your procedure. During your recovery, you will start with a post-surgical bra specifically designed for recovery; later, you can transition to a sports bra. You can return to your standard bras after approximately two weeks.
