Dive into the Benefits of Breast Enhancement
Breast Augmentation, more than a mere cosmetic procedure, has become a transformative journey for many. Whether it’s restoring symmetry, reclaiming lost volume, or achieving a desired silhouette, the benefits are profound and deeply personal, offering renewed confidence in one’s own skin.
The Procedure
Breast Augmentation
There are many choices available for women seeking breast augmentation, including the size and the material of the implant and the implant placement and incision location. Dr. Beran meets to privately consult with each patient, completes a physical examination, listens to their desired outcome, receives their health status and history and makes surgical recommendations.
Dr. Beran will discuss the different choices available and will recommend only the best augmentation options for each patient. Bringing several pictures of breasts that you like and those that you dislike will enable open communication. This is the best way to achieve the look you desire. The possible augmentation results can be viewed that day with the Canfield VECTRA 3D imaging system. The advanced digital images allow each patient to see a model of their enhanced breasts from multiple angles.
Breast augmentation incisions are inconspicuously located and may be placed under the arm in the armpit, under the breast within the crease, or around the nipple. The breast implants are inserted through the incisions and may be positioned either directly under the breast tissue or under the breast muscle. Dr. Beran will discuss the incision and material advantages and disadvantages with you and will assist you in making augmentation choices that are best suited for you.
Good Candidates for Breast Augmentation
Good candidates for breast augmentation are in good health and are looking to enhance and improve the appearance of their breasts. Women with a healthy expectation and who are willing to follow the post surgical instructions are likely to be good candidates for breast augmentation.

Breast Augmentation Risks
There are risks associated with all plastic surgery procedures, even those that are as uncomplicated as breast enlargements. Bleeding, swelling and infection are possible risks that the surgical team will prepare you to avoid with proper post-surgery care.
Capsular contracture is a condition that may result when the normal scar tissue “capsule” that forms within the breast begins to contract and squeeze the implant. With the advancement of implant technology, the risk of capsular contracture has declined. Your post-surgical care will include massaging your breasts according to the surgical team’s instructions. Additional surgery is needed in rare cases when capsular contracture causes implant distortion.
How Breast Augmentation Can Add Contour to Your Body
Each woman has a unique body type that she may or may not feel satisfied with. Many women seek to emphasize their feminine features, including the breasts. Enhancing the size of the chest can add desired contour to the body in a number of ways.
Larger Breasts Can Balance a Curvaceous Bottom
Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian have been credited with the growing fad of women sporting an oversized derrière. Buttock implants, Brazilian butt lift, and even exercises that can naturally enlarge this feature have grown in popularity. Women who seek to enhance the size of their backside, or naturally have larger buttocks can even out their top and bottom halves through breast augmentation.
Breast Augmentation May Slim the Waist
Many women accumulate extra fat in their abdomen or find that this area is problematic following pregnancy or weight gain. The muscles and skin may have stretched beyond capacity, creating a bulge in the belly. While abdominoplasty is one option, there are other procedures that can slim the look of the waistline. Through breast augmentation, the chest size expands, which creates a relative contouring of the abdomen. If women find that the breasts and abdomen are equally in need of aesthetic surgery. In women who have given birth, this combination is often referred to as the mommy makeover.
Breast Implants for a Muscular Build
Professional athletes, body builders, or women who stay toned and muscular may achieve a more feminine look though breast augmentation. While this perception is becoming outdated, some women feel that their rock-hard bodies cause them to appear more masculine. While both sexes should be able to enjoy the reward of their fitness efforts, some women may wish to restore some soft curves to the body through a breast enhancement surgery.

Enhance Breast Size on a Thin Frame
Some women choose to be thin while others are naturally built with faster metabolisms or good genetics. Because breasts are composed partially of fat, many thin or small-framed women have very little fat content and therefore small breasts. When undergoing a breast augmentation, the surgeon can permanently enlarge the size of the breasts. Women may be cautioned that implants that are too large for their body type may show signs of rippling, cause stretch marks, or even back pain. Through a consultation with Dr. Beran, patients can explore the best possible options for their frame.
Breast Surgery to Optimize the Fit of Clothing
Many women find that because of their figure, many store-bought clothing is ill-fitting. They may feel that their garments appear unflattering or, worse yet, unprofessional. Breast augmentation offers a contouring of the breasts that fills out clothing the way designers may intend. This can boost a woman’s confidence and restore her ability to feel attractive about her shape, in or out of clothing.
Breast Implants for a Male-to-Female Gender Transition
In male-born patients who identify as female, a breast enhancement surgery is one step that allows them to feel comfortable with their bodies. Some people spend the majority of their life feeling as though they were born into the wrong gender. Even in patients who opt to leave their genitalia untouched, breast implants are a staple during the transition process.
