Breast augmentation, often casually referred to as a boob job, increases the size and enhances the shape of your breasts using saline or silicone implants. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David J. Levens and the staff at his Coral Springs practice specialize in helping women who live in the Fort Lauderdale and Broward County area achieve the breasts they have always wanted through breast augmentation.
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure where implants are used to enlarge breast size. Breast implants, made from silicone or saline, are medical devices. The implants Dr. Levens uses are held to the highest standards, thoroughly tested, and have a reputation of proven results. Breast implants are perfectly safe. In addition, we would like to assure our patients that there is no scientific evidence that breast cancer is caused by breast implants, despite the popular urban legend. Statistics and studies show that a woman’s chance of getting breast cancer does not increase with breast augmentation.
Good Candidates for Breast Augmentation
While most healthy women are suitable candidates for breast augmentation, the breast size and shape you can achieve through surgery is dependent on your structure and tissue. Extremely small-breasted women or those who have never had their breasts stretched by breastfeeding may have tighter skin that limits just how large their final results can be. Dr. Levens offers free consultations to discuss your unique situation. You will have an opportunity to share your desired look, and he will help you develop realistic expectations for your procedure.
What Happens During Breast Augmentation?
During breast augmentation, implants are surgically placed behind a patient’s chest muscle. Occasionally, the implant is positioned in back of the breast tissue. The positioning of the implant is determined by the patient’s chest wall anatomy. Dr. Levens has years of experience in determining the best implant placement, personalized for each of his South Florida clients.
