Breast Augmentation in Portland, Oregon: Beyond the Basics
Understanding Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation, also known as "breast enlargement" or colloquially as a "boob job," is a surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of the breasts. It's a popular choice for many women seeking to boost their confidence, correct asymmetry, or restore volume lost due to aging, weight loss, or childbirth.
Types of Implants and Their Placement
When it comes to breast augmentation, there are two primary types of implants: saline and silicone. Saline implants consist of a silicone shell filled with a sterile saline solution, while silicone implants are filled with a silicone gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue.
The placement of these implants is a crucial factor in achieving the desired aesthetic outcome. Inframammary incisions, made in the crease under the breast, are a common choice due to their ability to hide scars and provide direct access to the breast tissue.
The Inframammary Approach
The inframammary approach involves making an incision in the crease where the lower part of the breast meets the chest. This method allows for precise placement of the implant, either above or below the chest muscle, depending on the patient's anatomy and desired results.

The Role of Aesthetic Surgery in Enhancing Beauty
Aesthetic surgery, including breast augmentation, plays a significant role in enhancing one's beauty. It's not just about increasing the size of the breasts—it's about improving proportion, symmetry, and overall body contour. A successful breast augmentation can boost self-esteem and contribute to a positive body image.
