Silicone Gel Implants BREAST AUGMENTATION WITH IMPLANTS Many women feel their breasts are too small in relation to their body proportion This may be naturally occurring size reduction after pregnancy and nursing or after weight loss Another reason to seek implant breast augmentation is asymmetric breasts where one breast is smaller than the other Regardless of the reason implant breast augmentation is an excellent choice for women looking to increase the size and shape of your breasts Breast augmentation is a personal choice and each individual s experience must be customized to meet the specific needs and goals of the patient Selecting the type size and shape of the implant are supported by the insight and experience of Dr Larsen and his team Your surgery is customized with the implant that best fits your body and your desires The breast augmentation surgery is conducted under general anesthesia Patients usually take a two to five days to recover however each person s recovery time is unique to them Breast augmentation surgery is an outpatient procedure Get the breasts you dream of with implant breast augmentation BEFORE AFTER 6 Silicone gel implants are the most popular type of breast implant Many patients feel that silicone gel implants look and feel the most natural when compared to other types of implants We offer Mentor MemoryGel Sientra HighStrength Silicone Gel and Natrelle INSPIRA Silicone gel implants maintain their shape which is why many patients prefer this type of implant Saline Breast Implants Saline breast implants are filled with a saline solution after insertion into the body With saline implants the incision is smaller and the cost is lower However unlike silicone saline implants are filled with liquid and may not maintain their shape as dependably as silicone after surgery We offer Natrelle and Mentor saline breast implants

BREAST AUGMENTATION PLACEMENT REVISION BREAST AUGMENTATION Breast augmentation revision is designed to enhance existing breast augmentation Over time our bodies change This may happen with aging weight fluctuation pregnancy and other natural causes Thankfully Dr Larsen offers surgery options to update your breast augmentation to keep your breasts looking the way you want There are several different techniques that may be used during a breast augmentation revision The breast implant removal process may be followed up with new implants an internal bra a fat transfer and or a breast lift The reasons for revision breast augmentation vary but this procedure allows you to change the size type or shape of your breast implants or to remove them completely Dr Larsen also offers a tissue matrix such as Strattice commonly referred to as an internal bra and is designed to prevent visible rippling of the breast implants and may lead to a more natural look and feel The internal bra is designed to minimize stretching and support the implant to promote longer lasting breast augmentation Similar to breast augmentation general anesthesia is used when revising the breasts This procedure is usually outpatient The recovery time is typically three to five days but may vary for each patient 7

FAT TRANSFER BREAST AUGMENTATION Fat transfer breast augmentation offers the dual benefit of breast enhancement and fat removal Each surgical plan is customized to fit your specific needs and circumstances This procedure works best for women who only want to increase their breasts by about one bra cup size Also this works well to balance out asymmetrical breasts Fat transfer breast augmentation uses fat from another part of your body to increase the size of your breasts Liposuction procedure is conducted to extract the fat from a predetermined area of your body The fat cells are processed to separate other fluids and remove impurities The fat cells are then injected into the breasts to create fullness The recovery time with fat transfer breast augmentation is usually the same as implant breast augmentation However you will have the added surgery location where the liposuction took place The same process of general anesthesia is used for this procedure This is usually an outpatient surgery 8 BEFORE AFTER BEFORE AFTER

BREAST LIFT A breast lift is an excellent option to regain elevated and perky breasts Dr Larsen will work with you to develop a surgical plan depending on your specific breasts and the amount of lift needed to achieve the results you want BEFORE The goal of a breast lift is to rejuvenate the breast by elevating the nipples and areolas as well as tighten loose tissue and skin Nature changes our bodies over time which results in droopy and sagging breasts The decreased skin elasticity can be caused by aging pregnancy and gravity A breast lift does not increase the amount of breast tissue It only repositions the nipple and areolas For additional breast tissue to increase the size of the breast consider breast implants in combination with your breast lift This will not only lift the breast but also increase the size A breast lift surgery also uses general anesthesia and is an outpatient procedure for most individuals The recovery time is usually around two to five days however it may be up to three weeks until exercise is allowed Most women are pleased with the youthful figure they achieve after a breast lift surgery 9 AFTER

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION Breast reconstruction offers women another way to heal and recover after breast cancer Often a breast cancer diagnosis includes a full or partial mastectomy Also some women who are at high risk for breast cancer opt to have their breasts surgically removed New technology and medical procedures now make it possible to reconstruct breasts that match the form and appearance of natural breasts This integral part of healing helps with the emotional recovery of breast cancer and is covered by medical insurance Depending on your diagnosis and personal preference breast reconstruction surgery can usually occur during the same operation as breast removal or after a waiting period Each surgery is customized to meet the patient s needs Breast reconstruction usually falls into two categories implant based or autologous The implant method uses expanders to slowly stretch the tissues to allow room for the implant The flap technique uses the patient s tissue to reconstruct the breast The tissue is taken from another part of the body like the abdomen and relocated at the breast Unlike with many of the other breast surgeries breast reconstruction requires a hospital stay of 1 to 2 nights Implant based breast reconstruction usually has a quicker recovery time than the flap tissue method BEFORE 10 AFTER

BREAST REDUCTION A breast reduction surgery is the removal of breast tissue to reduce the size or change the shape of the breast While many women want breast augmentation to create larger breasts women with large breasts that aren t in proportion to the rest of their body may experience physical and emotional health issues related to their breasts Reducing the size of the breast can lead to lift in the breast that creates a more perky look and feel Also many women report a reduction in headaches back pain and shoulder pain after their breast reduction surgery From athletes hindered by their larger breasts to women seeking to improve the appearance of their breasts after weight loss Dr Larsen customizes each patient s breast reduction to provide her with the best possible results The goal of breast reduction surgery is not only to remove tissue but also to shape the breast to achieve a more flattering and proportionate figure Dr Larsen s preferred technique is the WISE pattern This technique offers the most substantial lift and tightening In some cases liposuction is used in combination with the breast reduction surgery to give the patient an overall look they desire Like with the other breast surgeries general anesthesia is used for this procedure With most breast reduction surgeries patients are released to go home the same day However follow up appointments are needed in the days following the surgery The recovery time is three to five days BEFORE 11 AFTER
