Breast Enhancement Ft Myers

The breast size may be increased with saline or silicone breast implants. The goal of the surgery is to try and create the look you desire. Cleavage, fullness, roundness, natural appearance, large enhancements, modest enhancements, are all goals that vary by patient to patient. Dr. Schneider will evaluate your desires and your anatomy and together a plan will be formulated that fits you.

One of several incision locations may be used for placing the implants. Dr. Schneider has become renown in the region for his technique of hiding the incision in the armpit. This is called the endoscopic breast augmentation and can be utilized for either saline or silicone implants.

Once an incision is created in the armpit, a small camera is inserted and a pocket is created below the muscle on the chest wall called the pectoralis major. The key to the final result is the size and position of the pocket and the size, type and profile of the implant that is chosen. Some patients may require more or less pocket creation depending upon their underlying anatomy and the result they desire. Bi-planar or Uni-planar pockets may be used depending upon your breast shape. Then the appropriate implant based on the goal we are trying to achieve (saline vs silicone, high profile, moderate profile, low profile) is placed.

This creates an enhancement with no visible scar on the breast. Dr. Schneider has published and presented his technique at national symposia. Breast augmentation typically takes 45 minutes to perform and many patients are able to return to normal activities within a few days.

Choosing Size & Look

One of the most important facets of the consultation is learning what look the patient is trying to achieve. The vast majority of patients initially state that they want a "full C-up" with a natural appearing breast. However, upon further exploration we find that what patients want varies greatly once they understand the possibilities that can be achieved in size and shape.

Shape: Natural vs Round

The breast naturally has a slope that extends from the upper chest down to the fullness of the breast. In a naturally appearing breast, that slope line is either straight or slightly concave when viewed from the side. In an augmentation where a "natural appearance" is created, this slope angle is increased but it is still either straight or slightly concave. In the "round look", a convex or round slope is created. How we vary the natural vs round look is determined by several factors including implant size, implant projection, the patients underlying breast shape, and by implant type.

Size: Breast Fullness | Cup Size

Breast size is often measured in "cup size", or what size bra is required to fit the breast. Cup size in breasts is not an exact measure as cup size is in cooking. In cooking, one cup is exactly 250cc's. Adding exactly 250cc's to the size of one's breast does not necessarily increase the breast one cup.... from a B-cup to a C-cup. Thus when we discuss size, we are discussing a range and the look the patient desires. The two breasts pictured above are both in the C-cup range though there shape and size clearly differs significantly. We find that the best way to achieve the desired size, is for patients to show us photo's of breasts they like and those they do not like. The "look" desired is then better communicated and more easily achieved.
