Should I Get Implants: Signs Breast Augmentation Is Right for You By Anya Kishinevsky, M.D. on December 01, 2023

Getting breast implants is a serious decision. The good news is that there are so many ways to customize breast augmentation surgery so you get the results you want. From the type of filler used, size, profile, and shape of the implant, we can design a surgical plan that meets your unique goals. At Dr. Anya Kishinevsky’s practice in Norwalk, CT, we discuss the signs that indicate breast augmentation is right for you.

You Have Small Breasts

One of the most common reasons that patients come to our practice for breast implants is because they are unhappy with the size of their breasts. While small breasts are beautiful, many women simply desire larger breasts. This can be accomplished with the placement of silicone or saline implants through an incision made in the crease under the breast, around the areola, under the arm, or through the navel. Dr. Kishinevsky is skilled in all of these incision types, giving you more options for your breast augmentation surgery.

You Have Asymmetry

Many patients have asymmetry of the breasts. This means that one breast appears smaller than the other. At our practice in Norwalk, we can place implants in both breasts to make them appear to be a more similar size. We will place a smaller implant in one breast, and a larger implant in the other breast. The reason that we recommend placing implants in both breasts is to make sure that they both maintain the same level of lift and symmetry in the long term.

You Have Had Children

Many women are unhappy with the appearance of their breasts after they have had children and finish breastfeeding. Unfortunately, this process can affect the size and the shape of the breasts. The only way to restore the breasts to their previous appearance, or even make them larger than they were before, is to undergo breast augmentation surgery. In some cases, we may recommend that you undergo a breast lift at the same time that you have breast implants placed. This will improve the perkiness of the breasts and move the nipple up to a higher location, making the breasts appear more youthful.

You Have Misshapen Breasts

Many women are unhappy with the shape of their breasts. Some patients are born with tubular breasts, while others feel that the breasts are too flat and narrow. By placing breast implants, we can fill out the breasts so they take on an attractive and natural appearance. In these cases, performing the appropriate surgical techniques and placing the right type of implant play an important role in producing the desired outcome. We will help you choose the right size, profile, shape, and filler type for your unique needs. Breast augmentation can greatly improve confidence in women with misshapen breasts.
