Breast Augmentation- by Dr. Mark Bishara in Mansfield & Southlake

Breast augmentation plastic surgery is one of the most common procedures performed annually by members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Women may choose to under go breast enlargement surgery for various reasons. These personal reasons may center around breasts that are perceived to be under developed, or because of differences in the sizes of the breasts or from changes after pregnancy or breast feeding.
Some women may be happy with their breasts but just want them made fuller. Often after weight loss, aging or childbirth a woman’s breast volume and shape may change. This too can lead to a woman to seek a breast augmentation. Breast implant surgery performed by cosmetic plastic surgeons is the most popular way to improve breast shape and size. Breast enhancement using breast implants can give a woman more proportional shape and may improve self esteem.
Before and After Pictures of Dr. Mark Bishara’s Patients:
Are you a good candidate for breast augmentation?
One or more of the following feelings or conditions may indicate that you are a good candidate for breast augmentation:

  • you are bothered by the feeling that your breasts are too small
  • clothes that fit well around your hips are often too large at the bustline
  • you feel self-conscious wearing a swimsuit or form-fitting top
  • your breasts have become smaller and lost firmness after having children
  • weight loss has changed the size and shape of your breasts
  • one of your breasts is noticeably smaller than the otherDuring the consultation, you will be asked about your desired breast size and anything else related to the appearance of your breasts that you feel is important. This will help your surgeon to understand your expectations and determine whether they realistically can be achieved.How will my plastic surgeon evaluate me for breast augmentation surgery?Your plastic surgeon will examine your breasts and take photographs for your medical record. He or she will consider such factors as the size and shape of your breasts, the quality of your skin and the placement of your nipples and areolas (the pigmented skin surrounding the nipples). If your breasts are sagging, a breast lift may be recommended in conjunction with augmentation.
    You should come to the consultation prepared to discuss your medical history. This will include information about any medical conditions, drug allergies, medical treatments you have received, previous surgeries including breast biopsies, and medications that you currently take. You will be asked whether you have a family history of breast cancer and about results of any mammograms. It is important for you to provide complete information.
    If you are planning to lose a significant amount of weight, be sure to tell your plastic surgeon. He or she may recommend that you stabilize your weight prior to undergoing surgery. If you think that you may want to become pregnant in the future, you should mention this to your surgeon. Pregnancy can alter breast size in an unpredictable way and could affect the long-term results of your breast augmentation. There is no evidence that breast implants will affect pregnancy or your ability to breast-feed, but if you have questions about these matters, you should ask your plastic surgeon.

    What type of breast implants can be used for breast augmentation?

    breastaug c2The implant is placed in a pocket either directly behind the breast tissue (right) or underneath the pectoral muscle which is located between the breast tissue and chest wall. 

    The size and type of breast implant recommended for you will be determined by your goals for breast enhancement, your existing body frame, and mass, your existing breast tissue, and the preferences you and your plastic surgeon discuss.  All breast implants include a solid silicone rubber outer shell, called a lumen.
    Breast implant options include:

    • Saline breast implants: Filled with sterile salt water
    • Silicone filled breast implants: Filled with soft, elastic gel

    New scientific data on the safety of breast implants is rapidly being collected. In the future, it is possible that additional types of filler materials may become available as advancements take place. Surgical techniques for breast augmentation and breast implants themselves are continuously being refined, increasing the safety and reliability of the procedure. Your plastic surgeon will be able to provide you with the latest information.

    Maintaining a Relationship with your Plastic Surgeon

Breast Augmentation



contact-us


Breast augmentation plastic surgery is one of the most common procedures performed annually.  During your breast augmentation exam, Dr Bishara will examine your breasts and perhaps take photographs for your medical record. Dr Bishara will then examine the size and shape of your breasts for Breast augmentation surgery, the quality of your skin and the placement of your nipple and areola. Also, a breast lift may be recommended with the breast augmentation.
You should come to your consultation prepared to discuss your medical history. You will be asked whether you have a family history of breast cancer and about results of any mammograms. There is no scientific evidence that breast augmentation increases the risk of breast cancer.
If you think you may want to become pregnant in the future, you should mention this to Dr Bishara.   Pregnancy can alter the breast size and affect long term results of your breast augmentation. There is no evidence that breast implants will affect pregnancy or your ability to breast-feed.
Dr Bishara will recommend a baseline mammogram before surgery. If you are a smoker, you will be asked to stop smoking well in advance of surgery. Aspirin and certain anti-inflammatory drugs can cause increased bleeding so you should avoid taking these medications for a period of time before surgery.
The breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure, meaning you should arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery and to stay with you at least the first night following surgery.  General anesthesia is administered intravenously. When surgery is completed, you will be taken into a recovery area where you will continue to be closely monitored. Your breasts will be wrapped in gauze dressings with a surgical bra. You may be permitted to go home after a few hours.
Prior to your discharge, you and your caregiver will be given detailed instructions about your post-surgical care, normal symptoms you will experience, and any potential signs of complications.
It will take several days to return to normal activities after your breast augmentation. It is possible to return to work within just a few days or a week. Physical activity should be avoided for at least the first couple of weeks following surgery.
Personal preferences and individual factors will help you and Dr Bishara determine your appropriate breast size, location of incisions, and whether the implants will be placed on top of or underneath the chest muscle.
Respectfully yours,
Mark A Bishara, M.D., P.A. Medical Director
The Paragon Plastic Surgery and Med Spa
