Breast Augmentation

Looking for a breast augmentation/breast implant specialist?

Most women would agree that their breasts are a symbol of femininity and youthful vitality. For women with full, well-shaped breasts, they are often a source of self-confidence. It is no surprise, then, that many women who are unhappy with the appearance of their breasts seek breast augmentation surgery with saline or silicone breast implants. This procedure can be performed to improve the appearance of small, deflated-looking, or asymmetrical breasts.

If you can relate to these sentiments, you have come to the right place. At Accurate Aesthetics, Dr. Katherine Hein and her team are proud to provide breast augmentation procedures that help women in Wellesley, Boston, and MetroWest love the look of their breasts and enhance their quality of life.

Dr. Hein and her supportive staff are committed to providing beautiful yet natural-looking results from breast implant surgery in a compassionate, comfortable environment.

Why pursue breast augmentation surgery?

Breast augmentation, technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breast for the following reasons:

  • To enhance the body contour of a woman who, for personal reasons, feels her breasts are too small
  • To create more cleavage or a greater degree of outward projection of the breasts from the chest wall
  • To achieve a subtle lift
  • To correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy1
  • To balance a difference in breast size
  • As a reconstructive technique following breast surgery

Dr. Katherine Hein and her professional team at Accurate Aesthetics encourage you to schedule a personal consultation to establish whether you would benefit from breast implant surgery or perhaps another procedure, such as breast lift surgery or combination breast lift surgery with implants.

Who is an ideal breast augmentation/implant candidate?

Breast augmentation can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won’t necessarily change your looks to match your ideal or cause other people to treat you differently.Generally speaking, the best candidates for breast augmentation are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. Also, women should be in good overall health, both mentally and physically and have made the choice to pursue breast augmentation surgery of their own volition.

Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations, and discuss them with Dr. Katherine Hein during your personal consultation.

What types of breast implants are used?

Undergoing breast augmentation surgery in Boston under the care of Dr. Katherine Hein can be a positive experience for patients who desire to augment their breast size. Patients who had the procedure often remark that they love their new figure and have greater self-confidence.

Nonetheless, the decision to undergo breast enhancement should not be taken lightly, as it is a serious surgical procedure, and the results of the procedure are long lasting.

There are several important decisions that must be made during the breast augmentation process, including what type, size, and profile of breast implants to choose. To help you make an informed decision about which breast implants to choose, the team at Accurate Aesthetics will spend as much time as you need to make an informed choice.

What are the steps in planning for breast augmentation surgery

In your initial consultation, Dr. Hein will evaluate your health and explain which surgical techniques are most appropriate for you, based on the condition of your breasts and skin tone. If your breasts are sagging, she may also recommend a breast lift.

Be sure to discuss your expectations frankly with Dr. Hein. She will be equally frank with you, describing your alternatives and the risks and limitations of each. You will need to review and sign the manufacturers’ information brochure, so that you are fully informed. And be sure to tell us if you smoke, and if you’re taking any medications, vitamins, or other drugs.

We will also explain the type of anesthesia to be used, the type of facility where the surgery will be performed, and the costs involved. Because most insurance companies do not consider breast augmentation to be medically necessary, insurance carriers generally do not cover the cost of this procedure.

Our staff will give you instructions to prepare for surgery, including guidelines on eating and drinking, smoking, and taking or avoiding certain vitamins and medications.

While preparing, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you home after your surgery and to help you out for a few days, if needed.

Where will your surgery be performed and is anesthesia needed?

Dr. Hein performs breast augmentation surgeries at her fully certified in-office surgical suite. Your comfort and privacy is of paramount concern. Breast augmentation is usually performed with general anesthesia, so you’ll sleep through the entire operation. Another option is local anesthesia combined with a sedative to make you drowsy, so that you’ll be relaxed but awake and may feel some discomfort.

Dr. Hein utilizes a board-certified MD anesthesiologist or certified nurse anesthetist (CRNA) on each case where sedation or general anesthesia is required.

Breast augmentation for your new look

For many women, the result of breast augmentation can be satisfying, even exhilarating, as they learn to appreciate their fuller appearance.

Regular examination by your plastic surgeon and routine mammograms for those in the appropriate age groups at prescribed intervals will help assure that any complications, if they occur, can be detected early, and treated. Dr. Hein likes to see all her breast implant patients once a year.

Your decision to have breast augmentation is a highly personal one that not everyone will understand. The important thing is how you feel about it. If you’ve met your goals, then your surgery is a success.
