Your breasts have the ability to enhance your body contour and compliment your femininity, but if you feel self-conscious about their appearance, then they might actually detract from the way you wish to look.

To help restore the shape of your breasts and rejuvenate your body, you might consider breast augmentation as a treatment option with Dr. Lickstein. Although the idea of larger, fuller breasts may sound appealing, you could also be wondering whether the procedure is right for you.

What Are Your Cosmetic Goals?

If you are interested in breast augmentation, it’s clear that you desire larger breasts, but it’s also essential that you consider the particular way you want your breasts to look once they increase in size.

You have several options to consider when thinking about the shape, texture, incision and placement of your implants. You can choose between teardrop and round implants, depending on how you envision the profile of your breasts, and you have the option of receiving saline or silicone gel.

The placement of your implants will also play a role in the overall outcome of your augmentation. Implants can either take on a subglandular (over the pectoral muscle) or submuscular (beneath the glandular tissue and pectoral muscle) placement. The method that you pick will depend on your ideal aesthetic as well as the amount of natural tissue already present in your breasts.

When thinking about the most useful incisional technique, Dr. Lickstein can explain which method will deliver the most natural result. The shape, size and material of the implant used in your breast augmentation will often dictate the incision that Dr. Lickstein uses.

A Consultation Can Help

With so many options to choose from, it can feel like a challenge to decide how you want your implants to look. Although it’s rather beneficial to have such a customizable procedure available, ensuring that you’ve picked the right methods and materials might leave you wondering whether breast augmentation is right for you.

A consultation with Dr. Lickstein will provide you with the answers you need to move forward. With a physical examination, he can determine whether you are healthy enough to receive surgery and whether breast augmentation would be beneficial.

He will discuss the procedural details of surgery and explain each method that he may use to produce the best result. Dr. Lickstein will ensure that you have a thorough understanding of breast augmentation before undergoing surgery.

During your consultation, you can browse a before and after gallery to visualize what your individual results may look like. Although every patient has different expectations, seeing successful and beautiful results on other patients will give you the confidence you need to receive surgery.
