Atlanta Breast Implants

Our plastic surgeons are unique in their ability to perform breast procedures that combine modern surgical techniques with classical aesthetics to enhance the natural contours and motion of a woman's breasts.

While both doctors believe there is no universal ideal for how a woman's breasts should look, they also believe there is an ideal breast form and size for every woman. Drs. Bauer and Connors work closely with each patient to create a plan that specifically matches her vision of her breast's ideal shape and size to her body's form and function.

Breast Implants (Enlargement)

Breast enlargement (augmentation mammoplasty) is a procedure used to enlarge small breasts and rebalance breasts of different size or proportion. Breast implants are used to add fullness to breasts that have decreased in size or begun to sag due to age or pregnancy.

Breast enlargement is often performed to bring the size of a woman's breasts into balance with the rest of her body. The goal of breast enlargement surgery is to create natural-looking results that enhance your body's natural shape and curves.

Breast implant options can be narrowed down to two types: silicone gel and saline (salt water) filled. The recent FDA approval of silicone gel implants give women the option to choose between saline-filled implants or silicone gel implants, according to their desires and the surgeon's recommendations. Recent advantages in implant technologies offer options that create a more natural look than ever before. Exciting new implant coatings and fillings are always on the horizon, and the Swan Center participates in important clinical studies.

Be sure to ask if the new "high profile" breast implant designed to provide better breast projection and volume is right for you. Depending on the shape of your chest, these new "high profile" implants may be exactly what you need to achieve fuller, more natural-looking breasts.

Breast Lift

The breast lift operation (mastopexy) raises and recontours loose, sagging breasts. Women often elect for breast lift surgery after losing a considerable amount of weight, or after losing volume and tone in their breasts after having children. New mini and small incision techniques are now available to minimize scarring and recovery time.

Breast lift surgery can be performed alone or in combination with breast enlargement, depending upon your desired look. Many women notice that their breasts have lost volume in addition to becoming saggy as a result of aging or after pregnancy. A combined breast lift/enlargement can restore your breasts to a fuller, more youthful contour.
