The Art of Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery designed to increase the size and improve the shape of the breasts. This procedure is performed using silicone or saline implants that are carefully placed to enhance the overall contour, symmetry, and proportion of the chest.

Breast augmentation is a highly customizable surgery that not only increases breast volume but can also address minor asymmetry and restore fullness lost due to pregnancy, weight fluctuation, or aging. Dr. Anu Antony focuses on personalized augmentation, ensuring the result complements your unique figure and achieves a beautiful, natural-looking appearance.

Is Breast Augmentation Right for Me?

If you're looking to enhance the size, shape, or symmetry of your breasts, you could be a good candidate for breast augmentation surgery. During your initial consultation with Dr. Anu Antony, she will evaluate your specific goals, current health, and medical history to ensure that the procedure is a safe and effective option.

Ideal candidates for breast augmentation should be non-smokers who are free of any serious medical conditions. Women who are currently pregnant or nursing should also wait to undergo the procedure.

Breast Augmentation Benefits

Breast augmentation in Cary, NC with Dr. Anu Antony can effectively address several issues, enhancing appearance and confidence:

  • Asymmetry: Corrects noticeable size differences between breasts.
  • Small breasts:  Smaller breasts can be enhanced to create the ideal curves and balance for your figure.
  • Volume Loss: Restores fullness lost due to weight fluctuations, aging, or childbirth.
  • Shape Alteration: Improves the overall shape and contour of breasts that may sag or change due to aging. It is often coupled with a custom breast lift.
  • Post-Mastectomy Reconstruction: Rebuilds the breast after surgical removal due to cancer or other conditions, aiding in physical and emotional recovery.

Dr. Anu Antony’s personalized approach ensures that each augmentation result is balanced and harmoniously aligned with the patient’s body.

Customized Breast Augmentation

As every patient’s body and aesthetic vision are unique, Dr. Antony approaches breast augmentation by developing a highly individualized surgical plan. She offers comprehensive consultations to discuss desires, concerns, and the range of options available, from implant types and sizes to the surgical techniques that best suit the patient’s anatomy and wishes.

Textured vs. Smooth Breast Implants

One of the choices you'll have before undergoing breast augmentation is whether you prefer textured or smooth breast implants. Textured implants are created with a special finishing process, which adds texture to the outer shell of the implant. Both smooth and textured implants offer unique advantages. When you have your consultation with Dr. Anu Antony, she will help you decide whether smooth or textured implants are the ideal choice for your situation.

Texturized breast implants have an easier time adhering to the surrounding tissue, which helps to prevent undesired rotation. Additionally, with textured implants, you may be at reduced risk for capsular contracture, a serious complication in which a capsule of scar tissue tightens around the breast implant. That said, smooth breast implants are not as likely to experience rippling as textured implants are. For this reason, we generally recommend smooth implants for patients who have a relatively small amount of breast tissue.

Your Breast Augmentation Recovery

Immediate Postoperative Period

Immediately following your breast augmentation surgery, you will be taken to a recovery area, where you will be closely monitored as you awaken from anesthesia. You may feel groggy and sore, but these sensations will be managed with pain medications prescribed by Dr. Antony. A support bra or compression garment will help reduce swelling and support the breasts throughout your recovery.

First Few Days

During the first few days after surgery, it’s normal to experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Dr. Antony will prescribe medication to manage pain and instructions on caring for your incisions to minimize scarring. You will be advised to limit physical activity and avoid lifting anything heavy. Rest is crucial during this initial recovery phase.

Follow-Up Visits

Dr. Antony will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and ensure your new breasts heal properly. These visits are the opportunity to answer any concerns and evaluate how the tissues are healing.

Recovery Timeline

Recovery varies by individual, but most patients can return to work and light activities within one week, provided their job does not involve heavy lifting or strenuous activity. Complete physical activities, including exercise and lifting, can resume within six weeks. Dr. Antony will provide you with a tailored timeline based on the type of augmentation performed.

Dr. Antony, Anu is truly amazing and listens to her clients and what they want. I went for a breast augmentation and was back and forth on which size I wanted. With her method she was able to choose what looked best for my body with the two sizes I gave her. And they turned out absolutely stunning and I Really Love them. Would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Antony and her team. They are all so pleasant to work with and walk you through every bit of the process.
