Many women, like you, desire fuller breasts. It may be a wish you've had since adolescence, or evolve from reduced size following pregnancy and/or nursing.
A 2-hour procedure, performed through small, hidden incisions around the areola or in the inframammary crease can give you the fullness you desire, improve your proportion, and expand your clothing options. More importantly, it can boost your confidence, changing your approach toward both your social interactions and career.
There are two FDA-approved options for breast augmentation -saline implants or silicone gel-filled implants. At your initial consultation with one of Denver's few female, board-certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Tanya Atagi will discuss the pros and cons related to each. Visit www.breastimplantsafety.org, www.memorygel.com, or www.implantinfo.com for additional silicone implant information.
Also at your initial consultation, Dr. Atagi will have you try on "sizers" to help you chose your desired fullness. We recommend bringing photographs that illustrate that fullness as well. Great websites for such photos include www.plasticsurgery.org and www.loveyourlook.com.
And you will be in the best of hands. 5280 "Top Doc", Dr. Atagi is renowned for her skill and experience in breast augmentation surgeries. Her publications in the field include:
- "Alloplastic Materials" in: Mathes SJ and Hentz Volume I, Chapter 26, pp 745-768.
- Discussion of Rohrich RJ, Kenkel JM, Adams W P, et al., "A Prospective Analysis of Patients Undergoing Silicone Breast Implant Explantation." PRS 105(7):2540-2543, 2000
- Discussion of Cunningham BL, Lokeh A, Gutowski KA, "Saline-filled Breast Implant Safety and Efficacy: A Multicenter Retrospective Review", PRS 105(2):2150-2131, 2000.
In addition, your procedure will be performed under the guidance of a MD anesthesiologist. Although not all plastic surgeons take this extra precaution, we believe it is highly important to have the best-trained and most experienced medical professionals on your case.
