Breast Implant Benefits

Breast implants offer women a number of physical and mental benefits. A breast implant can be used to increase breast size, improve shape, correct asymmetry and sagging, restore volume and firmness as well as to facilitate breast reconstruction.

You may benefit from breast implants if:

• The size of your breasts makes you feel self-conscious or uncomfortable
• Your breasts have lost volume due to weight loss or breastfeeding
• You have issues with sagging
• Your breasts are noticeably asymmetrical
• You have undergone a mastectomy and wish to have reconstructive surgery

While there are many aesthetic and psychological benefits of breast implants, it is important to realize that there are limitations to this procedure and how it will impact your life.

Breast Implant Candidacy

Breast implant candidates must be 18 years of age or older and generally healthy enough to undergo surgery. If you have any major health conditions or Dr. Mandraccia’s assessment reveals any potential safety concerns, he will discuss this with you before allowing you to proceed.

In addition, you will also need to be in a healthy state of mind. Ideal breast implant candidates have realistic expectations about what the surgery will accomplish, they understand the risks involved and they are making the decision for the right reasons.

The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for a breast implant Fort Myers is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Mandraccia.

Customizing Your Breast Implant Procedure

Once you have determined that breast implants are the right breast surgery procedure for you, there are several other decisions that will need to be made regarding:

• The type of implant used
• The size of your implants
• Your implant placement
• Your incision location

It’s important to consider all of your options before making your final decisions.

Breast Implant Types – Saline or Silicone?

Both saline and silicone implants are safe and effective breast enhancement options. Generally saline implants can be easily adjusted, are easier to replace and tend to have a lower rate of capsulation and deflation than silicone.

Alternatively, many breast implant patients find that silicone implants have a more natural look and feel than saline implants.

The type of breast implant you choose will ultimately depend on your aesthetic goals and physical needs.

Implant Size and Placement

When it comes to the size and placement of your breast implants, it’s important to consider your lifestyle first and foremost. If you regularly participate in rigorous physical activities like body-building or other demanding athletics, you may want to consider a more moderate size.

Additionally, the subglandular or submuscular placement of your implants will have an impact on how comfortably you will be able to perform certain activities.

Dr. Mandraccia will take the time to discuss these options with you in person depending on your individual lifestyle requirements.

Incision Options

There are three main breast implant incision locations:

• Periariolar (around the nipple) – Produces the least obvious scarring but does not accommodate silicone implants.
• Inframammary (under the breast) – Inconspicuous scarring for both silicone and saline breast implants.
• Transaxillary (in the armpit) – Scarring is kept away from the breast but can be more difficult to conceal. Generally only viable with saline implants.
