Breast Augmentation Cape Girardeau by Gregory Tobin M.D
Breast Augmentation in Cape Girardeau, MO
Understanding Breast Augmentation Techniques
Breast augmentation offers patients multiple options for enhancing breast volume. The procedure can be accomplished through two primary methods: implant placement or fat transfer using liposuction. While implant placement remains the most common approach, each technique presents unique advantages that Gregory Tobin M.D. carefully evaluates during patient consultations.
Implant Options and Characteristics
Patients can choose between saline and silicone implants, each featuring distinct characteristics. Implants are available in multiple configurations, including:
- Surface types: Smooth or textured
- Shape profiles: Round or anatomical (teardrop)
- Placement options: Above or below the pectoralis muscle
Surgical Placement Techniques
Gregory Tobin M.D. utilizes advanced surgical techniques to optimize implant placement. The dual plane technique allows muscle coverage in the upper breast region and breast tissue coverage in the lower portion, creating a natural aesthetic result.
Breast Augmentation Procedure Details
The surgical procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically requires approximately two hours. Patients can expect a comprehensive consultation that includes implant sizer trials and pre-operative medical documentation.
Recovery and Healing Process
Post-operative recovery involves specific guidelines to ensure optimal healing. Most patients return to non-strenuous work within one week, with full recovery taking 3-4 weeks. Implants initially may appear high but will naturally settle into a more anatomical position over 2-3 months.
Personalized Surgical Approach
Gregory Tobin M.D. provides individualized consultations to determine the most appropriate breast augmentation strategy. Each patient receives a customized surgical plan addressing their unique aesthetic goals and anatomical considerations.
