Types of Breast Implants
Understanding the different types of breast implants is crucial in making an informed decision about your augmentation. The two primary types are:
- Saline Implants: Filled with sterile salt water, saline implants offer a uniform shape and firmness. They are inserted empty and filled once in place, allowing for smaller incisions.
- Silicone Implants: Filled with silicone gel, these implants feel more like natural breast tissue. They come pre-filled and require a slightly larger incision for placement.
Preoperative Preparations

The Breast Augmentation Surgical Procedure
The Breast Augmentation Procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about one to two hours. Dr. Dennis Alwen begins by making incisions in discreet locations, such as the inframammary fold (under the breast), periareolar (around the nipple), or transaxillary (in the armpit). The chosen implant is then inserted either under the pectoral muscle (submuscular) or directly behind the breast tissue (subglandular), depending on the patient’s anatomy and desired outcome.
Postoperative Care and Recovery
Recovery from a Breast Augmentation Procedure involves several stages. Initially, patients can expect swelling, bruising, and some discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Dr. Alwen provides detailed postoperative care instructions, including guidance on managing pain, caring for incisions, and resuming normal activities. Most patients can return to work and light activities within one to two weeks, with full recovery typically taking several months.
Expected Results and Benefits
The benefits of a Breast Augmentation Procedure extend beyond aesthetic improvement. Key advantages include:
- Enhanced breast size and shape.
Improved body proportion and symmetry. - Boosted self-confidence and self-esteem.
- Long-lasting results with proper maintenance.
Risks and Complications
As with any surgical procedure, breast augmentation carries potential risks and complications. These can include infection, changes in nipple or breast sensation, implant leakage or rupture, and capsular contracture (scar tissue forming around the implant). Dr. Dennis Alwen takes every precaution to minimize these risks and provides comprehensive care to address any complications that may arise.
Cost of a Breast Augmentation Procedure
The cost of a Breast Augmentation Procedure varies depending on factors such as the type of implants chosen, the complexity of the surgery, and additional fees (e.g., anesthesia, facility costs). Dr. Dennis Alwen provides a detailed cost estimate during the consultation, including information on payment options and financing plans.
Financing Options for Your Breast Augmentation Procedure
Dr. Dennis Alwen understands that financing a Breast Augmentation Procedure can be a significant consideration. Flexible financing options are available to help manage the cost, making the procedure more accessible and affordable for patients.
Combining Procedures with Breast Augmentation
For a comprehensive transformation, many patients choose to combine their Breast Augmentation Procedure with other surgeries, such as a breast lift (mastopexy), liposuction, or tummy tuck. Combining procedures can enhance overall results and achieve a more balanced and harmonious appearance.
Maintaining Results After a Breast Augmentation
Maintaining the results of a Breast Augmentation Procedure involves a commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Patients should follow Dr. Alwen’s recommendations for regular check-ups, maintain a stable weight, and avoid activities that could damage the implants.
