It should come as no surprise that cosmetic procedures have become increasingly popular in our society, from minimally invasive treatments to plastic surgery. According to the recent statistics released by the American Society for Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the most requested procedure was breast enhancement surgery.

For many, this can be traced to the media and its emphasis on the “ideal” female contour – large breasts, small waist, curvy hips and backside. Specific exercises can help to decrease the size of a woman’s midsection and firm up the hips/buttocks; however, the breasts are not as easily transformed. Breast implant surgery can add volume and reshape the breasts if you have small and/or asymmetrical breasts. Using saline or silicone gel breast implants, a qualified plastic surgeon can provide patients with a fuller breast contour.

At the practice of Dr. Michael E. Decherd near Corpus Christi, breast implants surgery is performed while maintaining natural-looking results. A board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Decherd realizes that every patient has a unique anatomy and desired outcome, which is why he personalizes every procedure to meet her needs.

In addition to breast enlargement, breast lift surgery is offered near Boerne, TX at Dr. Decherd’s office. Please feel free to browse his website for further information and to schedule your initial consultation.

Although it is natural for women to have a mild condition of breast asymmetry, it can become a bothersome trait if the difference in size is significant. Due to various reasons, the breasts may be uneven in size and/or shape. Some of the common causes of asymmetry include hormone imbalance, trauma, breast cancer, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and/or massive weight fluctuations.

While some women may opt to create the illusion of a balanced bustline, others may choose to undergo breast augmentation surgery. In order to determine the best surgical plan, it is important to first meet with a qualified and trained plastic surgeon. During a visit, patients are examined and the cause of breast asymmetry is discussed. Based on the degree of asymmetry, either one or both breast will have saline or silicone gel filled breast implants placed. If there is sagging in the breasts as well, your surgeon may recommend the addition of breast lift surgery. Those who have suffered from breast cancer may have the option of undergoing enhancement at the same time as breast cancer surgery (“mastectomy”).
