Breast Augmentation Before & After Case 5

This 24 year-old mother of two was dissatisfied with her small, A-cup breasts. After breastfeeding, her breasts were much emptier than before, a common problem women experience after breastfeeding. To find out more about how she could regain her pre-baby shape, she planned a consultation with Alabama plastic surgeon Dr. Beckenstein. After much thought, the two decided together on a breast enhancement.

At Dr. Beckenstein's plastic surgery office near Montgomery, Alabama, this patient underwent a breast enlargement with smooth, round, saline implants filled to 320 cc on each side. Dr. Beckenstein placed each implant below the pectoral muscles, a position that helps ensure a more natural curve. At the same time, it helps prevent the risk of scarring around the implant and minimize the chance that you will see any ripples in the implant surface. Many women also appreciate how submuscular placement poses less difficulty for mammograms.

Like most of Dr. Beckenstein's breast enlargement patients who are active moms, this woman was pleased to find out that she would be able to get back to her job and typical activities with her children relatively soon after her surgery. Most breast enlargement patients can expect to return to work in 7 to 10 days and resume normal activities in 3 to 4 weeks. This patient's post-operative photos show a dramatic improvement in her breast size, and she reports wearing a "full C cup" bra. Her breasts appear very balanced, and altogether she is very happy with the speedy and natural-looking results of her breast enlargement.
