Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is one of the most in-demand aesthetic surgery procedures worldwide. Many women seek to enhance the shape and volume of their breasts in order to feel more confident, achieve a more balanced silhouette, or restore firmness lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes.
What Is Augmentation Mammoplasty?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that involves placing silicone breast implants to increase volume and improve the shape of the breasts. Every patient is unique, which is why Dr. Vricella carefully selects the type of implant, the placement technique, and the ideal size to achieve a harmonious and natural result.
There are different types of implants:
- Round implants: ideal for providing greater projection in the upper part of the breast.
- Anatomical (teardrop) implants: offer a more natural appearance, imitating the natural breast shape.
The incisions can be made around the areola, under the breast fold, or in the armpit, leaving minimal and barely visible scars.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation
- Improved body proportions and aesthetic harmony.
- Restoration of firmness and volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss.
- Boost in self-confidence and self-esteem.
- Natural results tailored to each patient.
