Which Breast Implants Are Best?

I am often asked by patients which breast implants are the best – Silicone gel or saline?  My answer is that they are different products and each has its own advantages.  The saline breast implants are adjustable implants, so if you are uneven, I can make you more symmetric as well as larger with these. The silicone gel implants usually feel softer and in most people look more “natural”.

At the time of the consultation we discuss these issues and many more. We will also go over breast augmentation before/after pictures, talk about recovery after breast surgery, and cost of breast augmentation. To set up your consultation please call us at (614) 326-4661.

The Mommy Makeover – What is it?

In recent years a set of Plastic Surgery procedures has been growing in popularuty and has been termed the “mommy makeover”. This is really several procedures which can be done at the same time to restore a woman’s figure after childbirth. Even though it is called by one name, it is a customized approach and different for each person.

Typically the procedures done for the mommy makeover are tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), liposuction of hips and thighs, and a breast lift or augmentation. It can also include facial rejuvenation procedures if desired. Obviously, the best time to do this is when you are sure you are done having children.

I do these procedures as an outpatient at a certified and accredited outpatient surgery facility. I am a board certified Plastic Surgeon. It is very important that you ask your surgeon if he/she is a board certified Plastic Surgeon and for safety preasons it is almost always best to have procedures done in a surgery center as opposed to a physician’s office.
