Breast Augmentation
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009
The decision to have any surgery is a big one that can never be taken lightly. Elective surgery, such as breast augmentation, requires just as much consideration, research, and faith in your surgeon as a surgery that is not elective.
Board-certified cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Ankit Desai at the Desai Center of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery performs hundreds of breast augmentation procedures each year and firmly believes in educating his patients thoroughly prior to surgery, so they are fully aware of what to expect before, during and after breast implants are placed. There are many factors that must be taken into consideration when deciding if you are a good candidate for breast enlargement surgery. Not everyone is a good candidate, but most women over the age of 18 do qualify for this procedure. After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Desai will discuss the various breast augmentation options with you and offer his opinion on which is best for you.
There are four different approaches Dr. Desai can take when performing breast augmentation. You will have one of the following:
- Periareolar – This procedure requires an incision around the nipple-areola area
- Inframammary – This incision is made at the base of the breast
- Transaxillary endoscopic augmentation mammoplasty – This procedure creates an incision within the armpit, and a camera is used to create a very precise pocket under the muscle for the implant
- TUBA (Transumbilical Breast Augmentation) – In this procedure, an incision is made around the belly button
Dr. Desai will discuss the pros and cons of each procedure with you during your consultation. He will also explain the different types of implants used (saline, silicone), and what your recovery will entail.

Breast Augmentation – Finding the Right Size
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
When your breasts aren’t the size you want, it’s often easy to fantasize about your cup size being vastly larger. Such thoughts can skew your thinking about breast augmentation and personal feelings following surgery.
Like Goldilocks discovered, some things are too small, some too large, but finding something that feels just right can go a long way toward happiness. Placing your faith and trust in a surgeon who can guide you toward the size that’s right for you is important in breast enhancement or breast reduction surgeries.
Considering an A B C or Larger
If being noticed after breast augmentation is desired, you can certainly achieve that. However, cup size decisions should not be made on a whim. Some questions to contemplate are:
- Does increasing your AA cup size to a D or larger, fit your body frame?
- Do you understand that your clothing style will likely change? Clothing styles on small breasted women are often not appropriate for women with larger breasts.
- Have you considered the limited bra selection for DD or E sizes?
- Have you considered how your body will adapt to a larger breast size? Women with larger breasts often complain of back aches and restricted movement.
- Have you test-driven your desired size? It’s best to buy a bra in the size you desire and after filling the cups with sealed bags of liquid or rice, wear that size for a while to see how your body adjusts to the change.
If you are ready to discuss your breast augmentation decision with a skilled surgeon who has experience with helping women choose the size that best fits their lifestyle, please contact Dr. Desai at his office at the Desai Center of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in Jacksonville, Florida.
