Home >> Procedures >> Breast Augmentation
One of the most popular areas of plastic surgery today, breast augmentation, enhances the size and shape of a woman's breasts using a saline or silicone implant that resembles a natural breast. Full, shapely breasts can make any woman feel more feminine, beautiful, and secure in her skin and clothes.
A breast augmentation in San Antonio is the perfect procedure for any woman desiring a more curvaceous, sexy bustline with a naturally enhanced look. Dr. Young strives to exceed the expectations of his patients here in San Antonio by creating completely natural looking results with every procedure. Breast augmentation improves a woman's self esteem and her ability to wear clothes without feeling self-conscious or having ill-fitting garments.
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis where you go home the same day. In some instances, we are asked about "awake Breast Augmentations" and we're happy to discuss this option with you.
The breast implants are usually placed under the pectoral muscles through an incision made in the armpit, breast fold or around the nipple (areola). The incision in the armpit is very popular and is performed with an endoscope. This is a small camera that projects a picture of the surgical site to a TV screen to assist the surgeon performing the procedure. The armpit incision is small and leaves no scars on the breast. Recently, a fourth incision point through the belly button has been introduced, a method called TUBA (transumbilical breast augmentation).
Dr. Young realizes that you probably have very specific likes and dislikes when it comes to how you want your breasts to look, and we want you to let us know. Breast implants come in all different sizes and in two different shapes, round and oval (anatomical), three different projections (low profile, moderate profile and high profile), and are available in saline or silicone. There are implants available for every type of body size and shape.




During the past several years, the two major implant companies have developed a new "high profile" implant that provides more projection with a narrower base. This is a great benefit to the thin patient with a smaller chest. These implants also seem to cause less wrinkling and look and feel more natural.

The newest silicone implants are made with a cohesive gel which has reduced the risks associated with silicone rupture a great deal. Long considered the more preferred breast implant, silicone implants are once again gaining popularity. "Gummy Bear" implants are anatomically shaped implants with even less "give" than cohesive gel implants. They are not yet available in the U.S. market.
Some women ask about "adjustable breast implants" which have been used for many years in post-cancer patients receiving breast implants for breast reconstruction. Although we can usually accomplish the same "adjustment" to the size of a saline implant with a saline fill or saline reduction, we are happy to discuss the pros and cons of this implant option with you.
Your Consultation Visit with Dr. Young is your opportunity to have all of your questions answered about San Antonio breast augmentation. You will try on special breast implant "sizers" to help determine what size implant looks and feels best to you. Both Dr. Young and his nurse(s) can help give recommendations based on their extensive experience as well. Our patients become very excited once they've had their visit.
