Because breasts can be one of the most feminine and defining areas of a woman\u2019s body, breast enlargement procedures to enhance their natural size and shape are actually quite common. At<\/span> Premier Plastic Surgery & Dermatology<\/span><\/a> in Pittsburgh, we offer a variety of<\/span> breast procedure<\/span><\/a> options performed by board-certified plastic surgeon<\/span> Dr. Brian Heil<\/span><\/a>. Whether you\u2019ve always been self-conscious about the size of your breasts, have recently achieved a weight loss goal, or are considering a<\/span> breast augmentation<\/span><\/a> for other reasons, know that this is a very common procedure that many Pittsburgh women opt for each year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is Breast Augmentation\u00a0Right for Me?<\/b><\/h3>\n

While breast enlargement is very common and can certainly work to boost your self-confidence and leave you feeling great about yourself both inside and out, it\u2019s important to maintain realistic expectations about your results. If you\u2019re considering a<\/span> breast procedure<\/span><\/a> because the size or shape of your breasts is interfering with your self-image, or if you\u2019ve experienced weight loss or a pregnancy and want to update your look,<\/span> breast augmentation<\/span><\/a> may be a good option for you. If you think you\u2019ve reached a stage in your life where you\u2019d like to do something for yourself but aren\u2019t sure where to start, scheduling a consultation with a certified surgeon to carefully and respectfully discuss your goals could be a good idea.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Do I Choose My Implant Size?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Once you\u2019ve decided that<\/span> breast augmentation<\/span><\/a> is right for you, the next step is to choose an implant size and type that will help you achieve your desired results. While the final decision will ultimately be yours to make, careful and clear communication with your surgeon can help to guide you through your options. Using tools like before-and-after pictures and implant sizer bras, you and your surgeon can work together to ensure you get the results you want.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also likely want to discuss the type of implant you\u2019d like with your surgeon before you make a decision. While both saline and silicone implants are encased in an outer silicone shell, saline implants are filled with sterile salt water, whereas silicone implants are filled with silicone gel. Depending on the final results you want and your natural body type and shape, your surgeon may suggest using one material over the other, as each comes with its own pros and cons for certain situations (<\/span>Mayo Clinic<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Breast Augmentation vs. Breast Lift<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re looking to simply boost the volume and size of your breasts, then you could be a great candidate for<\/span> breast augmentation<\/span><\/a> alone. However, know that<\/span> breast augmentation<\/span><\/a> won\u2019t correct any sagging that may be present, so if this is also a concern for you, you might want to consider a<\/span> breast lift<\/span><\/a> as well. Depending on your individual needs, you may choose one procedure over the other, or combine the two into one.<\/span><\/p>\n

A<\/span> breast augmentation<\/span><\/a> consists of inserting implants to enhance the look and feel of the breasts, whereas a<\/span> breast lift<\/span><\/a> can help to correct things like asymmetry and sagging. In a<\/span> breast lift<\/span><\/a>, the actual position of the breast can be altered, which creates a perkier, lifted look. At<\/span> Premier Plastic Surgery & Dermatology<\/span><\/a>, we find that many women considering a<\/span> breast procedure<\/span><\/a> may be great candidates for a combination breast augmentation and lift. If you want to correct asymmetry and sagging, but are also looking to add volume to your breasts, a combination procedure might be the best way to get the results you want (<\/span>American Society of Plastic Surgeons<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> Medical News Today<\/span><\/i><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Choose Premier Plastic Surgery & Dermatology for Your Breast Augmentation?<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re considering a<\/span> breast augmentation<\/span><\/a> in Pittsburgh, contact<\/span> Premier Plastic Surgery & Dermatology<\/span><\/a> to set up a consultation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bottom Line<\/b><\/h3>\n

Many different factors play a role in a woman\u2019s self-image and self-esteem, including the inevitable changes to her body due to aging, pregnancy, and even weight loss. If these changes are beginning to make you feel less confident in yourself, or are interfering with other aspects of your life, a<\/span> breast augmentation<\/span><\/a> or other<\/span> breast procedure<\/span><\/a> may be just what you need.<\/span><\/p>\n

With nearly 300,000<\/span> breast augmentations<\/span><\/a> performed in the U.S. just last year, breast enhancement is much more common than you might think. So if you\u2019ve been considering the procedure to help you look as great as you feel, allow yourself to take a little \u201cme\u201d time. You can schedule a consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon<\/span> Dr. Brian Heil<\/span><\/a> of<\/span> Premier Plastic Surgery & Dermatology<\/span><\/a> by contacting us at <\/span>724-264-3608<\/span> or by sending us an<\/span> email<\/span><\/a>.
