Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation Surgery in Las Vegas, NV

Breast augmentation (also called Augmentation Mammaplasty or breast implant surgery) is the surgical procedure performed by a cosmetic surgeon that uses breast implants to enlarge a woman’s breasts. The procedure makes your breasts fuller and raises them just a bit (no more than ¾-inch).*

Dr. Lane Smith, a board-certified plastic surgeon, is considered one of the most experienced and well-trained plastic surgeons in the western United States. Along with his four separate board certifications, he is considered a breast augmentation expert. He often performs corrective breast surgery on patients who did not get the outcome desired from other surgeons. Breast augmentation is one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures and has one of the highest satisfaction rates in the country.*

What is Breast Augmentation?

Las Vegas breast augmentation is a popular procedure. Women in Las Vegas often choose to have breast augmentation because of the city’s atmosphere and culture. The surgeons at Smith Plastic Surgery are experienced in performing breast augmentation procedures.

Several different techniques can be used for breast augmentation. One common technique is to insert the implants through the armpit, and this approach has the advantage of being less invasive than other techniques. However, it may not be suitable for women with large breasts.

Another approach is to insert the implants through a tear in the breast tissue. This technique is often used for reconstruction after mastectomy, and it has the advantage of being less traumatic than other techniques. However, it may not be suitable for women with small breasts.

The most common technique is to insert the implants through a crease in the breast tissue. This approach is less invasive than other techniques and is suitable for women with all sizes of breasts.

Some women choose to have breast reduction before having implants inserted, and this is because larger breasts can make it more challenging to insert and position the implant correctly.

Why Women Choose Augmentation Mammoplasty

A woman’s breasts are viewed worldwide as a sign of beauty and femininity. Female breasts are one of the main ways cultures distinguish between male and female, and so they are given significant importance in just about every country across the globe.

Because cultures place such importance on a woman’s breasts, a woman with small breasts often feels inferior and even at a disadvantage when it comes to being seen as attractive. In addition, women who don’t develop breasts at all or who develop one large breast and one small one can experience feeling “abnormal” or “deformed.”

Improving Self-Esteem

Breast augmentation surgery is a safe and highly effective way to provide women with larger or more symmetrical breasts. Patients who undergo breast augmentation surgery typically report feeling more attractive and feminine. Many also report an increase in their self-esteem, stating that the procedure was the best investment they’ve ever made.*

What To Expect From Your Surgical Procedure

Each woman has different reasons for choosing breast augmentation surgery. Your goals will be different from any other woman’s goals. Some women are seeking huge, round breasts. Some of Dr. Smith’s patients even have asked him specifically to make the breasts look “fake:” they want breasts that are extra firm, very round, and extra high.*

Other patients only want him to fill out breast tissue lost from nursing, while others ask for larger, natural-looking breasts. Cleavage is also essential to many women.

Dr. Smith is most commonly asked to provide a look known as “enhanced natural,” in which a woman’s breasts are made a bit fuller on the upper part, with more cleavage than is natural. This provides breasts that look fuller and rounder but are not obviously fake or “operated on.”

 

Your Discussion With the Doctor

As you start talking to Dr. Smith, tell him why you want breast augmentation surgery and how you’d like your breasts to look. While Dr. Smith can’t always give you an exact look you wish for, he will work to tailor the outcome to meet your desires as much as possible.

 

Can Breast Implants Correct Every Breast Problem?

Please understand that breast augmentation surgery can’t correct every issue you may have with your breasts.

• Some of the things breast augmentation can’t correct:
• Very droopy breasts (ptotic breasts) that are dropping an inch or more may need a breast lift (mastopexy) in addition to (or in place of) breast augmentation.*
• Large differences in the position of one or both of your nipples may require additional surgery or techniques.*
• Breast Augmentation can’t fix inverted nipples and large areolas.*

In short, breast augmentation mainly increases your breasts’ volume.*

 

What To Think About Regarding Your Choices

• You will be making several choices regarding your breast augmentation, including:
• Location of your breast implant and position of the incision site.
• Size of your breast implant.
• The shape of your breast implant.
• Silicone or saline breast implant.

You and Dr. Smith will discuss these choices as you work together to make your decisions. To help you, we’ve put together pages (look for the menu to the right) with additional information on each of the numbered topics above.

Dr. Smith will guide you in your decision, but he feels strongly that you should feel that you have input into your breast augmentation outcome. All decisions you make are entirely up to you, and Dr. Smith and our Las Vegas plastic surgery staff members will work to ensure you are comfortable and happy with your ultimate results.

The Average Cost of Breast Augmentation in Las Vegas is $6,500 – $7,500 (Saline) and $7,000 – $8,000 (Silicone)

 

What Are The Risks?

Breast augmentation is one of the safest surgeries that Dr. Smith performs. Dr. Smith and his staff will discuss the risks of Las Vegas breast augmentation surgery at your consultation, where you are encouraged to ask questions.

 

The Appearance of the Breasts Immediately After Surgery

• What to expect in terms of the appearance of the breasts immediately after surgery: Immediately after surgery, the breasts will appear to be too high and look elongated rather than round. The breasts will be very tight and not move well. This is normal. With time the breasts will slowly drop, become more round-shaped, become softer and move easily, just like natural breasts. It is essential that the breasts do not drop to a normal position too quickly, or in the end, the breasts will be too low, and it takes about 3-6 months for the breasts to drop entirely. Wearing a supportive bra for six months is essential to prevent the breasts from falling too low unless we tell you otherwise.
• There is always some swelling and usually some bruising after surgery: It is normal for the breasts to be slightly swollen after surgery. Sometimes the swelling and bruising can even extend down into the abdomen area or lower. This is normal.
• Often the breasts will make a squishy sound or feeling: Initially, after surgery, it is normal for the breasts to create a squishy sound or have a feeling like there is some fluid around the implant. This is normal and will go completely away, but it may take several months. Also, sometimes some air can be under the skin, which can feel like bubbles in bubble wrap. This is not dangerous and will go away.
• There will be special tape covering the incisions: This will help the incisions to heal and the scars to look better.

 

Recovery After Surgery

Following your surgery, you will notice some swelling and bruising that will gradually subside after a few weeks. This may cause some discomfort but can be easily managed using oral pain medication and muscle relaxers prescribed by Dr. Smith.

After your procedure and as part of your recovery, Dr. Smith will provide a surgical bra for you to wear. Once Dr. Smith has approved, you may change out of the surgical bra into a shapely underwire bra, also provided by the practice. This bra should be worn for 6-8 weeks to help stabilize the lower and outer breast pocket dimensions, leading to a more predictable implant position and central cleavage. Long-term bra support is one way to decrease the risk of sagging in the future.

You will want to take up to 2 weeks off work to recover from the surgery. Your breast augmentation recovery includes refraining from any upper body activity, such as heavy lifting or fitness activities, and any other strenuous exercises for up to 4 weeks. After the first month of recovery, you can gradually resume light exercise.

What To Expect Next?

Your breast implants will tend to soften, settle and drop over time, which typically starts after two months but can vary depending on the tightness of your tissue and skin tone. You will notice mild changes in the appearance of your breast, which can continue for up to 6 months after your breast augmentation surgery.

The patient typically will continue to look better, and the scars improve for up to two years or more after surgery. Around 6-9 months after the surgery, we will typically take a post-operative photo and provide you with a set of pre-operative and post-operative images. This will help you see your improvement. Often, patients will have forgotten what they looked like before surgery and are surprised to see that the improvement in their appearance was more than they thought.

 

The Benefits of Breast Enlargement

There are many benefits to choosing breast augmentation surgery, including:

-A more youthful appearance
-Increased self-confidence-Better proportions and figure
-More options for clothing styles
-Improved quality of life
-Improve breast shape and symmetry of the breasts.

How do I choose my breast implant size?

There are many options available when it comes to breast augmentation surgery. You can choose between saline implants, silicone implants, and different sizes and shapes. The implant placement can also be customized to fit your body type and desired look. Age is not a contraindication for the breast augmentation procedure, but factors such as smoking and pregnancy should be considered before making a decision.

When considering breast augmentation, implant size is one of your most important decisions. This decision will affect your appearance, comfort, and satisfaction with the results.

There is no single answer to how to choose breast implant size, and your plastic surgeon will help you select the best implant based on your anatomy, body type, and aesthetic goals. However, here are some things to keep in mind when making your decision:

1. Breast implant size is measured in cubic centimeters (cc), not cup size. So don’t worry if you’re unsure what cup size you are. Your plastic surgeon will help you select the right implant size based on your desired breast volume.
2. The ideal breast implant size varies from woman to woman. Some women prefer a modest increase in breast size, while others want a more dramatic transformation. Ultimately, deciding what’s suitable for you is up to you.
3. When selecting the implant size, your plastic surgeon will also consider your body type. If you have a more petite frame, you may need a smaller implant than someone with a larger structure.
4. Ultimately, the best way to choose an implant size is to work with your surgeon and trust their expertise. They will be able to guide you toward the implant that will give you the results you desire.

Who is the Ideal Candidate for Breast Enhancement Surgery?

Breast augmentation is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and it is also not recommended for women who have significant medical problems or who smoke. Candidates for breast augmentation should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the breast augmentation results.

When selecting the size of your breast implants, it is essential to consider your body type and aesthetic goals. Dr. Lane Smith will help you choose the size that is best for you. He offers both saline and silicone implants, and each has its own set of benefits.

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the United States. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 300,000 breast augmentation procedures were performed in 2016.

Breast Surgery with Implants

Breast augmentation with implants is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures today. This procedure can help you achieve the look you desire for your breasts by increasing their size and fullness and enhancing their overall shape. If you’re considering enlarging your breasts or reshaping them, breast augmentation with implants may be right for you.

Which implant is best for you will depend on your body type and aesthetic goals. Smooth implants are rounder in shape than textured implants, providing a fuller look while still being soft to the touch. They are usually ideal for those looking for a moderate amount of augmentation as well as those looking for cleavage enhancement. On the other hand, textured implants offer more lift and projection due to their firmer structure. These are perfect for patients who want more dramatic results or are looking for increased cleavage enhancement.

Most of our patients opt for silicone gel implants as they offer a more natural feel and appearance than saline options; however, both types come in various shapes and sizes, so we can customize an implant specifically for each patient’s body type desired outcome. We’ll also consider what kind of incision was used during surgery when creating our customized treatment plan to ensure optimal results are achieved while minimizing scarring.

No matter what kind of implant you choose, our experienced surgeons at Smith Plastic Surgery use advanced techniques to ensure the most natural-looking results possible. Our team will ensure you have all the information necessary to make an informed decision about your breast augmentation procedure and will work closely with you throughout your journey to achieve your desired outcome safely and efficiently.
Once you have selected an implant type that fits your desired look and feels, our surgeons will perform the surgical procedure. During this time, sedation or general anesthesia may be administered depending on what works best for you; our team of experts will explain all aspects of the procedure beforehand so that you feel comfortable every step of the way before going under anesthesia if needed.

During your consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss different implant types with our highly-experienced surgeons so that you can decide which one is right for you based on personal goals and preferences. We understand that every patient’s wishes are unique, so we take extra care when selecting the right size, shape, profile, and texture of implant that fits each patient best. Depending on what type of implant you choose, other factors, such as placement and incision location, may also need consideration when determining your optimal outcome. All these details will be discussed during your consultation so we can ensure satisfaction with your breast augmentation results together!

Saline vs. Silicone Implants

Both are FDA-approved types of breast implants. Saline implants are filled with a saltwater solution, and silicone implants are filled with a silicone gel. Some women prefer saline implants because if they rupture, the saline solution is harmlessly absorbed by the body. Silicone gel implants are thought to feel more natural than saline implants but are more likely to rupture.

Breast augmentation can be a life-changing procedure, but it can also be expensive. The breast augmentation cost in Las Vegas varies depending on the surgeon, the type of implant, and other factors.

Many surgeons offer financing options to make the procedure more affordable. Some surgeons also offer discounts for cash payments. Patients should ask their surgeons about financing and discounts before scheduling their surgery.

The Details of Breast Enlargement Surgery

Breast augmentation surgery is a relatively simple procedure performed under general anesthesia. The surgery typically lasts one to two hours, and patients can usually return home later that day. Dr. Smith makes a small incision near the fold of the breast, inserts the implant, and closes the incision with dissolving stitches. Most patients experience minimal scarring and recover quickly from surgery.

Many different types of implants are available, so you can choose the size and shape that best suits your needs. Implants come in various sizes, shapes, textures, and colors, so you can find one that matches your style. Dr. Smith offers different implant options to ensure you find the perfect fit for your body and lifestyle.

The results of breast augmentation surgery are permanent, although breasts may change over time due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss/gain. Implants may also need to be replaced if they leak or become distorted over time.

Like any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with breast augmentation surgery. These risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, nipple sensation changes, implant rupture or deflation, capsular contracture (tightening of the scar tissue around the implant), and asymmetry (uneven breasts).

 

Breast Implant Incision Options

When considering breast augmentation surgery, it is essential to understand the different incision options available to you. Three incisions to open a path to insert your breast implants: transaxillary or endoscopic, inframammary, or periareolar.

The transaxillary incision is made in the armpit and is the least visible option. This incision is less popular than the other two options because inserting and positioning the implant correctly can be more difficult. The inframammary incision is made just below the breast tissue. This is the most popular option because it gives surgeons much flexibility regarding implant placement. However, it is more visible than other options and can cause more scarring. The periareolar incision is made around the areola (the dark skin that encircles the nipple) and is commonly used for revision breast augmentations. This incision allows for good visibility and control of the implant placement.

Ultimately, your best incision choice will depend on your anatomy and preferences. Talk to Dr. Lane Smith about which option would be best for you.

Dr. Lane Smith is a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. He is highly skilled in the periareolar method of breast augmentation, which is often recommended for breast augmentation patients. This approach involves making a small incision around the areola and allowing the surgeon to place the implant directly behind the breast tissue. This results in a more natural-looking result and eliminates the need for transaxillary incisions (made in the armpit), which can sometimes leave visible scars.

Breast augmentation is a highly personal decision, and Dr. Smith takes the time to get to know each of his patients individually. He will listen to your concerns and help you choose the best implant size and type for your body type and chest difference.
