Decreasing Potential Problems During Breast Augmentation in New Jersey!

POSTED ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 08, 2013 AT 5:22 PM  by Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi

Are you considering breast augmentation in New Jersey? Each year, hundreds of thousands of women choose to enhance their curves through breast augmentation surgery. As many women have just begun undergoing breast-enhancing procedures, hoping to fill out bathing suits in time for beach trips and summer’s curve conscious fashions, Dr. Asaadi wants patients to learn what they should know before their breast enhancement in NJ.

“There is a difference when doing breast augmentation as opposed to breast revision and breast reconstruction surgery,” Dr. Asaadi says. “Patients need to know all the advantages and disadvantages of undergoing breast augmentation.”  

The outcome of breast augmentation is dependent on surgical techniques and the experience of your plastic surgeon. When performed correctly, patients should not experience leakage of the breasts or any signs of capsular contraction. Unfortunately, many patients fail to visit a board certified plastic surgeon who understands breast augmentation surgery, the anatomy of the patient, and how to choose the best treatment for that patient. 

Dr. Asaadi is board certified in plastic surgery and helps educate and inform his patients of everything they need to know and understand before breast enhancement. In fact, 20 years following breast augmentation, Dr. Asaadi’s patients do not even realize they have implants. In the last 22 years, Dr. Asaadi has only used saline implants, and the rate of secondary procedures on his patients who received breast augmentation mammoplasty remains less than 1%. “At my practice, we do not have patients with capsular contraction, leakage of the implant, infection, bleeding, or hematoma. They do not need drains or dressings following surgery,” he says. “My patients wear a soft bra immediately following their breast enhancing procedure.” His gentle and meticulous surgical techniques leave patients with only minimal pain and discomfort. 

According to national statistics, 25% of breast implants call for a secondary procedure following breast augmentation because the first surgery was not performed correctly. “You cannot do this procedure half-hazardly,” he advises. “It is important to have breast augmentation performed perfectly the first time to avoid problems later in life,” he says. Questions to consider when visiting your plastic surgeon for breast augmentation surgery include:

What is the size implant suitable for me?

The size of the implant patients receive should be fit the patient’s chest, base of the breast, thickness of the breast, and other anatomy of the patient. Just like a shoe size, patients should choose the size implant that fits the size of their chest. If you have a larger chest for example, you may opt for a larger implant. Patients with a smaller, tighter chest however, should not choose an overly large implant to ensure safety and to avoid complications with the implant following breast augmentation.

What type of implant fits my individual anatomy?

The most famous questions patients ask before their breast augmentation remains, should I use silicone or saline implants? Both silicone and saline implants have advantages and disadvantages, however, Dr. Asaadi prefers to use the saline implants due to their natural feel, look, and shape.

Where will the surgeon be placing my implant?

Your plastic surgeon can insert your implant through four different areas. These areas include the armpit, around the areola, the stomach, and under the fold of the breast. Dr. Asaadi cautions against having the implant inserted through the breast tissue, as there becomes a greater risk of developing biofilm, which can lead to capsular contraction. Capsular contraction causes hardness of the breast, leading to complications that often require patients to have another surgery. 

Enhance your curves in time for summer and go into your surgery educated and with the right plastic surgeon.
