Dr. Jacob Unger Talks About Breast Augmentation

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and fullness of the breasts. This enhancement is achieved by placing implants beneath the breast tissue or chest muscles. The procedure aims to provide a more balanced figure, improve body image, and boost self-confidence. Whether you’re looking to increase naturally small breasts, restore volume lost due to pregnancy or weight loss, or achieve better symmetry, breast augmentation offers a personalized solution to meet your aesthetic goals.

At Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute, we specialize in tailoring breast augmentation procedures to each individual’s unique anatomy and desires. Dr. Unger utilizes advanced surgical techniques and the latest implant technology, including Motiva Implants®, to ensure natural-looking results with minimal scarring and downtime.

Is Breast AugmentationRight for Me?

If you're unhappy with the size or shape of your breasts, you may be wondering if breast augmentation is the right choice for you. Ideal candidates for breast augmentation are individuals who:

Desire Fuller Breasts: You may feel that your breasts are too small or lack the fullness you desire.
Seek Restoration: Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging may have affected the volume and shape of your breasts.
Wish to Improve Symmetry: If one breast is noticeably smaller or shaped differently than the other, breast augmentation can create a more balanced appearance.
Are in Good Overall Health: Being physically healthy and maintaining a stable weight are important for a successful surgery and recovery.
Have Realistic Expectations: Understanding what breast augmentation can achieve and being realistic about the outcomes is essential.

It's important to be in good overall health without any medical conditions that could impair healing. Non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking before and after surgery are preferred candidates, as smoking can interfere with the healing process.

If you're contemplating breast augmentation, we invite you to schedule a personalized consultation at Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute. During your consultation, we will:

Listen to Your Goals: Understand your desires and expectations for the procedure.
Evaluate Your Health: Review your medical history and assess your overall health.
Examine Your Breasts: Assess factors like breast size, shape, skin quality, and nipple placement.
Discuss Options: Explain the different implant types, sizes, shapes, and surgical techniques available.
Answer Questions: Provide thorough answers to any questions or concerns you may have.

This comprehensive consultation ensures that you have all the information needed to make an informed decision and that your surgical plan is tailored to your unique needs and aesthetic goals.

Physical Examination: Dr. Unger will evaluate your breasts, including measurements and assessments of skin quality and nipple placement.
Implant Selection: Explore different implant options, with a focus on Motiva Implants. Dr. Unger will explain the benefits of Motiva Implants, including their natural look and feel, advanced safety features, and innovative technology. You'll discuss sizes, shapes, and profiles to find the perfect match for your body. Visualization tools like sizers or 3D imaging may be used to help you envision potential outcomes.

Pre-Surgical Preparation

Medical Clearance: You may need to undergo lab testing or a medical evaluation to ensure you're fit for surgery.
Preoperative Instructions: You will receive guidelines on medications to avoid, dietary considerations, smoking cessation, and any necessary lifestyle adjustments.
Scheduling Surgery: Our team will help you schedule your procedure at a convenient time.

Day of Surgery

Admission to Facility: Arrive at our accredited surgical center, where our caring staff will ensure you're comfortable and prepared.
Anesthesia Administration: You'll meet with the anesthesiologist to discuss anesthesia options. General anesthesia is commonly used for breast augmentation to ensure you're asleep and comfortable during the procedure.
Surgical Procedure:
- Incision Placement: Dr. Unger will make incisions in predetermined locations (such as the inframammary fold, around the areola, or in the armpit) based on your surgical plan and the specifications of Motiva Implants.
- Implant Placement: The Motiva Implants will be inserted either under the pectoral muscle (submuscular) or directly behind the breast tissue (subglandular), depending on what's best for your anatomy and goals. The advanced design of Motiva Implants allows for a more natural movement and feel.
- Closing Incisions: Incisions are closed with layered sutures in the breast tissue and skin adhesive or surgical tape to minimize scarring. The smooth surface of Motiva Implants may contribute to reduced scar tissue formation.
Duration: The surgery typically takes about 1 to 2 hours.

Post-Anesthesia Recovery

Monitoring: After surgery, you'll be taken to a recovery area, where our team will monitor you as you wake up from anesthesia.
Initial Care Instructions: You'll receive instructions on how to care for your breasts, medications to apply or take orally, and signs to watch for in the healing process.

Discharge

Going Home: Breast augmentation is usually an outpatient procedure, so you'll be able to go home the same day. It's essential to have someone drive you home and stay with you for at least the first 24 hours.
Post-Operative Kit: You’ll be provided with the necessary supplies and detailed instructions for at-home care.

Breast Augmentation Recovery & Results

Understanding what to anticipate after your breast augmentation with Motiva Implants will help ensure a smooth journey toward your desired results. Upon waking from anesthesia, you may feel groggy and experience soreness, tightness, or swelling in your chest. These sensations are normal and can be managed with prescribed pain medication.

Rest is crucial during the first few days following surgery. You’ll need to limit physical activities and avoid lifting heavy objects. We will provide specific instructions on how to care for your incisions, including cleaning protocols and the use of a supportive surgical bra to minimize swelling and support healing. The advanced design of Motiva Implants may contribute to a more comfortable recovery due to their compatibility with your natural tissue.

Most patients can return to light daily activities within a few days but should continue to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting. Swelling and bruising may persist but will gradually decrease over time. The SmoothSilk™ surface of Motiva Implants is designed to promote better healing and reduce the risk of complications such as capsular contracture.

Between the second and sixth weeks after surgery, you should be able to resume normal activities gradually, following our guidance. Light exercise may be reintroduced, but any activity that strains the chest muscles should be avoided until you are fully healed. You’ll notice immediate changes in breast size and shape after surgery, but final results will develop over several weeks as swelling subsides and the Motiva Implants settle into position. Over the next three to six months, your breasts will continue to soften and take on a more natural appearance, thanks to the adaptive gel technology of Motiva Implants that allows them to move and feel like natural breast tissue. Incision lines will fade over time but may take up to a year to mature fully.

With proper care, breast augmentation results with Motiva Implants are long-lasting. These implants are designed for durability, but regular monitoring is important to ensure ongoing satisfaction and health. One of the unique features of Motiva Implants is the inclusion of Q Inside Safety Technology™, an FDA-cleared micro transponder that allows for non-invasive verification of implant information. This technology aids in monitoring implant integrity and provides peace of mind.

Maintaining a stable weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise supports the longevity of your results. Using quality skin care products and wearing appropriate support garments, especially during physical activity, can enhance skin elasticity and breast appearance.

Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor implant integrity and overall breast health. Dr. Unger will utilize Motiva Implants’ advanced features to assess their condition without invasive procedures. Complementary aesthetic treatments or non-surgical procedures may further enhance your appearance, and Dr. Unger can advise on options like scar care or skin rejuvenation techniques.

By adhering to Dr. Unger’s post-operative instructions and attending scheduled follow-ups, you can ensure optimal healing and enjoy the full benefits of your breast augmentation with Motiva Implants. Our team is here to support you throughout your recovery, providing personalized care to help you achieve the confidence and satisfaction you desire.

How Long Do Motiva Implants Last?

Motiva Implants are designed to be durable and long-lasting, but they are not guaranteed to last a lifetime. Many implants can last 10 to 15 years or longer without issues. Regular check-ups are important to monitor implant integrity and address any concerns promptly.

As with any surgical procedure, breast augmentation carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, adverse reactions to anesthesia, implant leakage or rupture, capsular contracture, and changes in nipple or breast sensation.

Preparation may include medical evaluations, adjusting current medications, quitting smoking, and arranging for someone to drive you home after surgery. Dr. Unger will provide detailed preoperative instructions tailored to your situation.
