There are many personal reasons that women explore breast enhancement — a desire for larger breasts, to restore pre-pregnancy volume, or to just return to a more youthful appearance. A woman's satisfaction with the shape and size of her breast can help define her self image. Having a positive body image is important. Many women who experience breast augmentation are more confident in their body posture more comfortable in the way they look in their clothing, and can have a better quality of life.
An ideal candidate for breast augmentation is a woman who has specific concerns regarding the size and shape of her breast, and realistic expectations regarding her results. Equally important is that she is well informed and educated on the changes she is making on her breast size; and that the decision is self motivated, non impulsive or pressured by her partner. When choosing an implant size, many factors such as body type and shape come into play. Proportional body measurements should be taken into account to achieve a total body balance. Breast augmentation not only is about a larger cup size, it is about enhancing the aesthetics, beauty of the breast, and body as a whole. Breast Augmentation uses breast implants which are either filled with a saline solution or silicone gel. Saline implants are most commonly used as the use of silicone implants has been restricted. This is because the rupture of a silicone implant may release the silicone material into the body's tissues which is a significant health concern. If saline implants rupture, the saline solution is harmlessly reabsorbed into the body and the implant can be replaced.

At this time, saline is the only FDA approved implant for first time augmentation patients. Currently, silicone implants are available only to breast reconstruction patients, patients replacing current implants or a very limited first time augmentation patients meeting specific FDA criteria. Breast implants are surgically placed with a number of incision options. An inframammary incision, where the incision is placed in the fold under the breasts, an axillary incision, which is placed through the armpit, a periarolar incision, through crescent shaped area on the areola and an umbilical incision through the belly button. Once the incision is made the implant is placed into the body in one of two positions. Subglandular, over the pectoral muscle and under the breast tissue or Submuscular, where the implant is placed below both the pectoral muscle an overlying breast tissue. Deciding which incision and which implant placement method is best done after a physical examination, since your body type will dictate the options appropriate for you. Dr. Edween's preferred method for insertion of implants is thought the belly button. Although it is more technically difficult for a surgeon it is an option she offers her patients since "the scar is the most inconspicuous, the results are very natural and my patient's recover in a faster amount of time" she states.
