Breast Augmentation with Silicone or Saline Implants - The Approach of Our Award-Winning Houston Plastic Surgeons
For ACPS surgeons, breast augmentation surgery encompasses far more than simply adding volume to breasts. They give detailed attention to the suble nuances and characteristics of a woman's unique anatomy in order to create soft and shapely curves that appear to be a natural part of her body, in contrast to an artificial bolted-on look.
As a reflection of their reputations for excellence in breast augmentation surgery, ACPS surgeons have been invited to participate on three investigational teams sponsored by the nation's leading breast implant manufactureers, with the goal to make implants "softer, prettier, and better: in order to give you exceptional aesthetic results. As a result, the newest generation of breast implants are not only more autthentic in look and feel to natural breast tissue, but also more durable in construction.
During your consultation, you will have the opportunity to try on saline and silicone implants of various sizes in order to help you visualize and determine the look you want to achieve through breast augmentation surgery. ACPS surgeons take into account both your size preferences as well as the unique characteristics of your anatomy in order to evaluate and recommend the implant syle and volume that will give you the results you desire.
Although breast augmentation surgery is completed in just one to two hours as an outpatient procedure, its effects are frequently positive and transformative not only to a woman's appearance, but to her sense of feminine beauty and self-confidence.

Our surgeons see women of all ages and from every walk of life who come from all across the nation and the globe because of our surgeon's reputation for excellence and the warm and caring attention that is given to every patient to ensure an experience that is smooth, rewarding and postive from start to finish.
While some seek breast augmentation in order to obtain a look that more closely fulfills their aesthetic ideal, others desire to restore a fuller, shapelier appearance to breasts that are left smaller and less firm in appearance as a result of pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and aging.
Breast Augmentation Procedure
In the breast augmentation procedure, small incisions are made in the crease under the breasst. Silicone or saline implants are then placed within small pockets that are formed behind the chest muscle. ACPS surgeons have found that placing the implants beneath the chest muscle produces the best aesthetic result, giving the breasts a gentler slope and a more natural teardrop shape. Silicone implants are placed prefilled into the pockets, while saline implants are filled with sterile saline water after being placed inside the breast pockets .Breast augmentation is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia and takes approximately one to two hours to complete.
