Candidates for Breast Augmentation

A number of factors can determine a woman's candidacy for breast augmentation. A woman who is dissatisfied with the shape or size of her breasts, has one breast that is larger than the other, or would like to make her breasts proportionate to the rest of her physique may be a suitable candidate for breast augmentation.

It is important, however, that any woman choosing to undergo breast augmentation surgery is in reasonably good physical and emotional health. During the initial breast augmentation (enlargement) consultation at our Jupiter or Lake Worth location, Dr. Rankin carefully examines each potential breast augmentation patient, inquires about her medical history, and thoroughly discusses her options. Patients whose breasts are sagging due to the effects of a past pregnancy or the natural aging process may be given the option of including breast lift surgery as part of their breast augmentation procedure.

The Breast Augmentation Procedure

Dr. David Rankin performs breast augmentation (enlargement) surgery in Palm Beach County, South Florida at one of the four local hospitals where he is on staff or in his private office operating suite. He begins the procedure by making an incision either around the areola, under the breast, or in the armpit. Through the incision, Dr. Rankin inserts either a saline or silicone breast implant and ensures that the breasts appear natural and symmetrical. He then closes the incisions and bandages the area. Implants may be placed either over or under the chest muscle and is dependent upon each patients individual needs.

After Breast Enlargement Surgery

The first few days after breast augmentation (enlargement) surgery, the patient may experience tenderness or pain. Pain medication is prescribed by Dr. Rankin to ease this discomfort. Although patients are encouraged to walk around after the surgery, it is important that they not engage in any strenuous activity. Although patients are usually able to return to work in approximately a week, care should be taken to avoid contact with the breasts and to refrain from any activity that involves stretching, lifting, pushing, or pulling.
