Breast Augmentation in Detroit
Breast Augmentation in Detroit (Augmentation Mammoplasty)
Breast augmentation in Detroit is performed to increase the size and fullness of the breasts. Uneven breast sizes may also be improved by the use of different volumes in each breast implants. The exact size of the breast cannot be guaranteed. The size depends upon the amount of tissue available to cover the implant, the patient’s stature and the judgment of the surgeon.
An incision is made in the fold of the skin below the breast. The breast tissue is elevated from the rib cage, a surgical “pocket” is constructed under either the breast tissue or muscle, and the implant placed into this “pocket”.
Saline implants vs. Silicone implants:
In the fall of 2006, after rigorous review of data collected over 10 years, the FDA approved silicone gel breast implants for cosmetic breast enlargement. Silicone breast implants are filled with silicone gel and saline breast implants are filled with sterile salt (saline) water. Currently, both silicone and saline breast implants in a variety of shapes are utilized at the Straith Clinic. Dr. Sabbagh will discuss with you the advantages and disadvantages among saline implants, traditional gel silicone, and the next generation of silicone - cohesive gel implants, also known as gummy bear implants.

The risks involved with cosmetic surgery of the breasts:
No surgery is risk free, and that includes cosmetic surgery of the breasts. Although cosmetic surgery is an elective procedure, every patient must understand that these procedures are real surgical operations that involve the potential for complications. However, most cosmetic surgery procedures are categorized as low risk when performed in an accredited facility, by breast surgeons with the appropriate training and qualifications. The risk of complications from breast enhancement surgery can be minimized with a combination of the proper knowledge, skill and qualifications, sound surgical practices and by closely following your surgeon’s instructions on follow-up care during the recovery period.
