As a leader, mentor and author, Dr. Keyes is familiar with the latest trends in breast augmentation utilizing the latest proven surgical techniques.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, well over a million women from 2000 to 2008 underwent the breast augmentation procedure to increase breast size, improve the appearance of asymmetry or misshapenness, or reconstruct the breasts following breast cancer surgery. Breast augmentation has consistently been the most popular bodily plastic surgery procedure in the U.S.

The Breast Augmentation Consultation

At The Keyes Surgery Center, women may consult with Dr. Keyes about both silicone or saline filled implants. There are differences in the fill content of these implants. Patients should be well informed about the risks and benefits of both types of breast implants to facilitate their decision about the procedure they choose to undergo. They may select from a wide variety of projection profiles, volume sizes and chest width sizes to help ensure a custom fit. Women interested in breast augmentation may consult with Dr. Keyes as many times as they choose to gain a full understanding about breast augmentation. A knowledgeable patient is better able to set reasonable expectations for the outcome of their procedure. During these consultations, Dr. Keyes will evaluate candidacy for the procedure, review incision location options and breast implant placement location choices. You will be able to view before and after photos of women with similar anatomical features and try on breast implants to obtain a truer image of how the breast implants will appear on you.

The Breast Augmentation Procedure

Dr. Keyes will perform breast augmentation surgery while you are under general anesthesia for optimal comfort. There are three incision locations that may be used in the breast augmentation procedure, including: 1) under the breast at the crease 2) under the arm pit 3) through the areola, the pinkish tissue upon which the nipple rests. Other techniques, such as incisions within the umbilicus or “belly button” are also reviewed. There are three placement locations such as under the pectoral muscles, above the pectoral muscles and under the breast tissue, or partially under the muscle. The decisions for the incision location and placement location will be made jointly between Dr. Keyes and you. Dr. Keyes will identify specific reasons why he has certain recommendations and this will allow you to make a better educated decision about the procedure. During the procedure, the breast implants will be slipped under the appropriate area and incisions will be delicately sutured into place leaving no visible sign of the stitches. You will then be comforted in the recovery area to provide an advantageous transition home. You may be transferred to a aftercare facility, if you prefer.

Breast Augmentation Recovery

Prior to breast augmentation recovery, you will receive a list of post operative instructions to help allow for a smooth recovery. It will be wise to purchase any necessary recovery aids prior the procedure. You will meet with Dr. Keyes in the days following the procedure to further ensure the most favorable outcome.
