Subglandular placement may make your surgery and recovery shorter, may be less painful, and may be easier to access for reoperation compared to submuscular placement. However, subglandular placement may result in more palpable implants (more likely to “feel” the implants through the breast). Speak with Dr. Niessen to see if Breast Augmentation is for you!

Breast Augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance the  size and shape of a woman’s breasts. By inserting an implant behind each breast, Dr. Niessen is able to increase a woman’s bust line by one or more cup sizes.  Breast enhancement is usually done to enhance the body contour of a woman who, for personal reasons, feels her breast size is too small, to balance a difference in breast size or to fill in breast volume loss due to pregnancy or breast-feeding. Dr. Niessen offers both saline and cohesive silicone gel breast implants.

Dr. Niessen offers both types of saline implants.  We offer 1) Round Style Breast Implant To accommodate various body types, the round shape is available in a wide variety of sizes. Round breast implants are available in two different shells: smooth and textured. Smooth surface breast implants are less likely to be felt through the skin and tissue and have a slightly softer shell. 2)  Contour Style Breast Implant These saline-filled breast implants feature a contoured  shape that re-creates the more teardrop outline of a natural looking  breast.  Women who are looking for a gently sloping…

During breast augmentation, implants will either be placed under the chest wall (submuscular) or on top of the muscle and under the breast gland (subglandular). Submuscular placement may provide you with youthful-looking breasts for a longer time, may reduce the chances of your implants being felt through your skin, and it may help reduce the chance of scar tissue hardening around your implants (capsular contracture). It will also make it easier to image your breast during a mammogram.

Each woman’s recovery is different.  In general, you will feel a little sore for several days following your breast augmentation surgery. The first 24 to 48 hours after your procedure is when you will experience the most discomfort. Your breasts will be swollen and tender. An important part of recovery involves wearing a bra.  This is designed to provide you with extra support while you heal. Meet with Dr. Niessen to see if breast augmentation is right for you.

Breast augmentation is not only a medical decision, it is a personal one. The perception we have of ourselves defines who we are and how we introduce ourselves to the world. Not every woman may feel the need for breast augmentation, but for many women it has provided them with a great deal of personal satisfaction, confidence and sense of well-being. Meet with Dr. Niessen to see if breast augmentation is right for you.
