Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgical procedures by Dr. Parker. The goal is to enlarge the breasts and improve shape. Patients feel an improved body image and self esteem.

A new generation of silicone gel implants was recently approved by the FDA, so now women can choose between silicone gel-filled and saline-filled breast implants.

"I wanted to express how happy I am with my surgery. I was hesitant about having the surgery, but you put me at ease. It is wonderful dealing with such a great doctor and your staff. Thank you again for giving me back my confidence 100%." —Breast Augmentation Patient
Breast Enlargement Surgery
Breast implants are inserted through small incisions which usually become inconspicuous after they heal. They can be placed through an incision under the breast, under the areola, or through the armpit. Implants can be placed in front of, or behind the pectoralis muscle. The decision is influenced by individual physical characteristics. The best option will be recommended during a consultation.
Several implant shapes are available today. Your physical characteristics will often dictate which type is best for you. In terms of size, the breast increases approximately one cup size for each 200 cc of implant. Most commonly, implants ranging in size from 210 to 330 cc are used. Size selection varies with patient desires, chest size and the amount of breast tissue present. A natural appearance is paramount to us. Photographs can be helpful in helping patients decide about size.

I wish to thank you and your staff for making me feel so comfortable before, during, and after the procedure. You have helped to increase my self esteem and I wish you continued success in helping others." —Breast Augmentation Patient
Recovery from Breast Enlargement
Breast augmentation is completed within two hours, most often using general anesthesia. Patients are usually discharged home within one hour after surgery wearing a soft, support bra. In addition to producing "natural looking" breasts, we expect our patients to recovery from breast augmentation painlessly. Using our Rapid Recovery Program, we tell our patients that they should return to most normal activities of daily living within 24 hours of surgery. We are delighted by our patients' comments after they return for their follow-up visits. They tell us that their recovery was quick, easy, and so very different from their friends who have undergone breast augmentation elsewhere. Showering and light activities are permitted the day after surgery. All sutures dissolve and do not have to be removed. Work can usually be resumed in several days.
