Choosing The Best Plastic Surgeon For Your Breast Augmentation

PPSD offers an unsurpassed level of patient care that has earned the practice a glowing reputation for some of the best breast augmentation in Charlotte, Gastonia, Shelby, Hickory, Lake Norman, and surrounding cities.  Through their combined skill and decades of expertise, PPSD board-certified plastic surgeons have placed thousands of breast implants with stunning results.

Breast augmentation begins with a private consultation in the warmth and comfort of your plastic surgeon’s office, where he or she will carefully evaluate your goals, go over photographs and 3D imaging results, address any concerns and review your medical history. Some important questions to ask during your consultation are:

  • What is the best type of implant for me?
  • What is the best type of incision and implant placement for my body and goals?
  • What can I expect in terms of downtime and recovery?
  • Are there any risks associated with this procedure?
  • Can I see more before and after photos?
  • How can I pay for my surgery?

Types Of Implants

Breast augmentation patients can select either saline or silicone implants. Both have been FDA-approved and rigorously tested for safety. Each has unique strengths and drawbacks, which can be discussed at length during your initial consultation with your doctor.

Saline Implants

These implants contain a silicone shell that is filled with salt water, the same harmless solution that is used in IV drips. If the implant were to rupture, there is no damage to the body, as the salt water is simply absorbed within hours. Some advantages of saline implants include their lower cost, safety, smaller incisions, and a lower occurrence of capsular contracture (scar tissue that hardens the implant). However, saline implants may not feel as natural as silicone implants. In addition, while rippling can occur with any implant, the risk of visible rippling is more common with saline implants—especially in thin and small-breasted women.

Silicone Implants

Filled with semi-solid silicone gel rather than salt water, these implants tend to feel more authentic to the touch, and are less at risk of rippling due to their natural firmness. Silicone implants also tend towards greater longevity.

Cosmetically, silicone implants offer more dramatic results for those with significant skin laxity and breast deflation.
