Plastic Surgery Clinics Texas

Breast augmentation, or enlargement, remains one of the most common cosmetic surgical procedures performed. An implant is placed behind the breast tissue either in front of, or behind, the muscle to enhance the shape and size of the breast. Ideal implant placement along with the choice of the right breast augmentation procedure will be determined after a consultation with Dr. Gallas. Decisions will be made regarding the size, shape and type of implant. Different techniques – including implant position and incision choice for achieving your desired improvements – will also be discussed in detail. This discussion will focus on your concerns and goals. Relevant history relating to the breast such as previous surgery, pregnancy, breastfeeding and family history of breast cancer will be explored. Breast augmentation in the presence of breast ptosis, or “droopiness,” requires correction with mastopexy (breast lift) in addition to augmentation. This is particularly common after pregnancy or other instances of weight gain and loss.

The breast implants are usually placed under the pectoral muscles through an incision made in the armpit, breast fold or around the nipple (areola). The incision in the armpit is very popular and is performed with an endoscope. This is a small camera that projects a picture of the surgical site to a TV screen to assist the surgeon performing the procedure. The armpit incision is small and leaves no scars on the breast. Recently, a fourth incision point through the belly button has been introduced, a method called TUBA (transumbilical breast augmentation), and Dr. Young is happy to discuss this option with you in a free consultation visit.

(sometimes called breast enhancement) surgery can replace those negative feelings and increase your breast size – boosting your confidence; giving you a shapelier, more feminine appearance; and helping you look better in clothing and swimwear.

Our experienced surgeons offer breast augmentation (enhancement) with breast implants, breast enhancement with the patient's own fat (autologous fat grafting), breast lift (mastopexy), and breast reduction procedures. These procedures help create an aesthetically pleasing look for women who are self-conscious about their breast shape or size.

For many women, the size, shape and fullness of their breasts plays a significant role in their ideal body image and self-esteem. Achieving the feminine contours you have always desired is possible with Breast Augmentation. The goal of Breast Augmentation surgery is to enhance body contour, add fullness to breasts after pregnancy, nursing or weight loss, and balance size.
