Body image is an important part of feeling good
about your self. Body Contouring procedures are
developed to re-balance the patient’s body.
With the addition or deletion of the size of an
individual’s anatomical areas, your appearance
becomes more proportionate and natural. Dr.
Heir offers a wide range of surgical procedures
to achieve this goal.
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure used
to enhance the size and shape of a woman's
breast. The need for enhancement can range from
changing the body contour of a woman who feels
her breast size is too small, to correct a
reduction in breast volume after pregnancy, or
to balance a difference in breast size and
shape.
While breast augmentation will enlarge the
breasts, it will not alter basic defects in
breast shape or form. Major asymmetries may be
improved but will not be completely corrected. A
slight difference in the size or shape of the
two breasts is considered normal and should not
be a cause for concern. If breast size or nipple
position asymmetries are severe then additional
procedures to further improve symmetry may be
necessary. Long experience with this operation
has demonstrated it to have highly satisfactory
results for the majority of patients who are
considered suitable candidates for the surgery.
Dr. Heir performs this procedure primarily as a
transaxillary (via the underarm region), sub-fascial
approach. Because the implant is placed through
a small incision in the armpit, the procedure is
nearly scarless. |
