Breast Implants Soar With Popularity

National statistics show that breast augmentation surgeries increase dramatically every year. We have certainly seen the increase in our office. You would be surprised to learn that many of our conservative Pittsburghers have breast implants. Because we are a fairly conservative city, our implants tend to be a little smaller so that they better fit our body frame giving us a more natural look. Now we still get our ladies in from Vegas that like them big and beautiful, but most of our patients just want a breast implant that will take them up 1-2 cup sizes. They just want to look and feel womanly in (and out) of their clothes.

Breast enlargement surgery, or augmentation mammaplasty, changes the body contour of a woman who desires larger breasts. The procedure also corrects the volume loss in the breasts after pregnancy, or to correct asymmetrical breasts. The surgery usually takes 1 hour in an outpatient setting.

During your personal private consultation with Dr. Barber, we will discuss all your options for breast implant surgery-saline vs. silicone, implant size and shape, implant placement, and incision placement. We will also discuss the best way to keep you comfortable during and after your surgery. Pain pumps are now available and widely utilized to keep discomfort to a minimum which is a great option for patients that have a low pain tolerance.
