It doesn’t matter if you’re slim or young, you can still have a double chin. It’s unfortunate, but hereditary factors do play a role. Sift through family photos or think about other family members—do many of them have double chins? If they do, that’s probably why you have a double chin as well. It’s genetics.

Are you finally taking the plunge and getting breast implants? You probably have a ton of questions about the procedure. Plastic
surgeons are asked certain questions quite often in consultation with patients.
That’s why we wanted to share a guideline on how breast implants are placed and
some common questions patients tend to ask about breast augmentation.
Unsurprisingly, breast augmentation remains one of the top
performed procedures in North America. It’s in high demand, but certain trends
in breast enhancement have changed. One interesting trend to note is that big
breast implants are no longer as popular today. Think back to the 90s when
busty and voluptuous celebrities like Pamela Anderson had large breast
implants. That was the trend that many women liked and wanted for themselves.
Lately, plastic surgeons have noticed that women are now
asking for smaller breast implants that suit their bodies more naturally. Women
who want to remove their breast implants are downsizing too. Before, a lot of
women requested to increase their breast size to a D or DD. The current trend
is moving up to a B or C.
How do you get
natural looking results for breast augmentation?
It depends where the breast implants are placed. If they are
placed underneath the pectoral muscle, the results will look more natural
compared to placing the implants over the muscle. However, this is dependent on
different factors: how your breasts look, if your breasts are droopy and how
much natural breast tissue you have.
Fat grafting to the breasts is also another way to achieve a
natural look and modest increase in breast size. Your plastic surgeon will
extract fat from an area of your body—like your tummy or thighs—purify it and
inject into the breasts. Since you’re using your own fat to enhance your
breasts, the results won’t last as long as breast implants would. That’s because
over time, some of the fat cells that have been injected into the breast won’t survive.

Where are incisions
made when getting breast implants?
The 3 most common incisions include:
1. Axilary: Incision made in the armpit. Saline implants are
the only implants that can be inserted through this incision.
2. Inframammary: The incision is made above the crease under
the breast.
3. Periareolar: Inicision through the border of the areola.
How much does breast
augmentation cost?
Prices will vary from plastic surgeons in Ontario. The range
is anywhere from $6,000-$10,000 for breast augmentation.
What is capsular
contracture?
Like with any surgery, there are always risks or
complications involved. One of the complications of breast augmentation is
capsular contracture. This is when there’s abnormal scarring around the
implants. The membrane around the implants tighten, which then cause the
breasts to feel firm or hard. Another sign of capsular contracture is when the
implants start looking more round and ride higher on your chest.
If you think you might have capsular contracture, you need
to see your plastic surgeon to discuss how you can correct the problem.
These are just some of the frequent questions that breast
augmentation patients ask their surgeons. Don’t hesitate to contact us or leave
