Breast Augmentation
One of our staples here at Kansas Plastic Surgery is our Breast Augmentation. Breast augmentation, also known as breast implants, increase the fullness and size of the breasts. When a breast augmentation is performed in combination with a breast lift, the procedure can improve the balance of both breasts and the hip contours enhancing self-image and self-confidence.
At Kansas Plastic Surgery, we offer two different kinds of breast implants. Silicone and saline implants may be placed either above or below the pectoralis muscle or the carrying muscle. Dr. Schoonover will discuss which of these options are right for you at your first consultation.
While breast augmentation will increase size and fullness, it will not correct severely drooping breasts. For this reason, we often combine a breast augmentation with a breast lift to improve both fullness and lift. These two breast procedures may be done simultaneously.
