Breast augmentation utilizes breast implants to create fuller, more flattering breasts. Dr. Brou has extensive experience in breast augmentation surgery, and his artistic ability has won praise from patients and medical professionals alike.
Breast implants can increase the fullness, firmness, and projection of your breasts, and they can restore the desired proportion to your body. However, a breast augmentation alone can’t lift your breasts. If childbirth or extreme weight fluctuation has caused your breasts to droop or sag, Dr. Brou may recommend a breast lift in conjunction with your augmentation.
During your consultation for breast augmentation in Oklahoma City, Dr. Brou will talk to you about your cosmetic goals, so he can tailor his technique and choose the implant best suited to your cosmetic needs as well as your breast anatomy, skin elasticity, and body size and shape.
During your consultation, Dr. Brou will discuss what to expect during the processs of surgery and recovery. He will help you to choose the implant size after a trial of digital simulation along with the opportunity to try on breast implant sizers to give you an idea of what you will look like after the surgery. Many patients come back after their breast augmentation consultation to try the breast implant sizers on again, especially if their spouse or loved one was not able to attend the first meeting with Dr. Brou.
You will also have an opportunity to meet with our patient coordinator to get exact pricing and financing options if you choose to schedule surgery.
Breast implants have been proven very safe in years of clinical research, and they continue to improve in design and aesthetics. For more information we encourage you to visit the American Society of Plastic Surgery website for the latest information on breast implants.
Dr. Brou will explain the relative benefits of different kinds of breast implants that are available on the market. Saline breast implants were very popular in the 90’s and early 2000’s because of concerns with silicone breast implants. After extensive research and a 14 year moratorium, silicone breast implants came back in 2006 upon approval by the FDA. The safety and efficacy of these devices was deemed satisfactory. Today there are many different kinds and styles of silicone breast implants so choosing can be rather confusing. Dr. Brou will explain the best choice for you based on his 26 year experience as a board certified plastic surgeon.
The most common incision is made below the breast in the mammary fold. This area tends to have the least complications and heal nicely. Areola incisions may be made especially when reducing the size of your areola. Incisions under the arm are normally made when using endoscopic equipment to place the implant.
Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia in the outpatient surgery center Oklahoma Surgicare in Oklahoma City (across the turnpike from Mercy hospital). This surgery is outpatient and no overnight stay is required.
For the first week following your breast augmentation procedure, you may experience some discomfort and tightness in the chest. Dr. Brou will prescribe oral medication to help with the pain, which should dissipate in about a week. You can expect to return to work after a week, with some limitations. To stabilize your new breasts, you will wear a support bra and sometimes a chest strap for around 4 weeks.
