About Breast Enhancement Surgery

Breast augmentation is a plastic surgery procedure to enlarge the breasts of those who feel their bust line is too small by inserting breast implants. Breast augmentation is also referred to as breast enhancement surgery, and sometimes it is called a “boob job.” An under-endowed woman may feel uncomfortable wearing a bikini or evening gown or shopping for lingerie. She may also feel self-conscious about her breasts during intimacy, where external padding isn’t an option.

Many products are on the market today, targeting women hoping to have larger breasts. These products include:

  • Breast enlargement creams
  • Pills
  • Massages
  • Exercises
  • etc.

Those who have tried any of these solutions have found one thing true: None of them work. The only way to enlarge one’s breasts without surgery is through pregnancy or weight gain, and neither of these is permanent. Surgical breast augmentation is the only way to achieve a predictable, reliable, and lasting result. Fairbanks Plastic Surgery of Utah is well known for its quality breast enhancement surgery.

Safety and Aesthetics

Our plastic surgeons have extensive experience in treating the under-endowed female breast. We can operate either under local anesthesia and sedation or under a general anesthetic, whichever the patient desires. Local anesthesia is less expensive, and the patient remembers nothing.

As with all our surgeries, every consideration is made to ensure your health and safety. Also, during your consultation, we will review beauty concepts and anesthesia options with you. Our surgeons will also review the various breast augmentation approaches—including their pros and cons—with you before your surgery. We also offer silicone breast implants if the patient wishes to have them. We will work with you to create a plan to make you as attractive and proportional as possible using the most advanced methods of art and medical science.

Can I Still Get Saline Breast Implants If My Breasts Are Too Small?

For a woman with tiny breasts, there may not be enough soft tissue to cover and camouflage the saline breast implants and achieve the optimal result. However, placing the implants under your muscles can achieve excellent results. Sub-muscular implants provide sufficient soft tissue to cover and avoid the presence of rippling, which can occur with the presence of saline breast implants.

If the patient has sufficient soft tissue, breast implants can be placed directly behind the breast gland and provide a beautiful result with less pain and discomfort.

In cases where the sub-muscular approach is used, it takes some time for the muscles to relax and adjust to the underlying implants before you can enjoy the final appearance.

Will Having Breast Augmentation Surgery Alter The Sensitivity Of My Breasts?

Preserving nipple sensation is an essential part of breast augmentation. We use an anatomic approach to breast enhancement surgery to protect the nerves associated with nipple sensation.

Preserving nipple sensitivity may take more time and effort, but our patients deserve the extra work. We want you to be thrilled with your result.

Will I be able to nurse a child after breast enlargement surgery?

Yes! Our technique protects the lactiferous ducts and breast glandular tissue.
