Breast Augmentation West Palm Beach

Natural-looking Breast Augmentation

In classic works of art, precision and balance work hand in hand to create sublime beauty. Similarly, beautiful, natural-looking results with breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement, require an experienced hand and an artist’s touch. Utilizing his artistic eye for proportion and beauty, Dr. David Rankin achieves beautiful results with breast augmentation (enlargement).

Candidates for Breast Augmentation

A number of factors can determine a woman’s candidacy for breast augmentation. A woman who is dissatisfied with the shape or size of her breasts, has one breast that is larger than the other, or would like to make her breasts proportionate to the rest of her physique may be a suitable candidate for breast augmentation.

It is important, however, that any woman choosing to undergo breast augmentation surgery is in reasonably good physical health. During the initial breast augmentation (enlargement) consultation at our Jupiter office Dr. Rankin carefully examines each potential breast augmentation patient, inquires about her medical history, and thoroughly discusses her options. Patients whose breasts are sagging due to the effects of a past pregnancy or the natural aging process may be given the option of including breast lift surgery as part of their breast augmentation procedure.

The Breast Augmentation Procedure

Dr. David Rankin performs breast augmentation (enlargement) surgery in his private surgical suite or at one of the seven local hospitals where he is on staff. He begins the procedure by making an incision either around the areola, under the breast, or in the armpit. Through the incision, Dr. Rankin inserts either a saline or silicone breast implant and ensures that the breasts appear natural and symmetrical. He then closes the incisions and bandages the area. Implants may be placed either over or under the chest muscle and is dependent upon each patients individual needs. There is always an emphasis on minimal scarring.

After Breast Enlargement Surgery

The first few days after breast augmentation (enlargement) surgery, the patient may experience tenderness or pain. Pain medication is prescribed by Dr. Rankin to ease this discomfort. Although patients are encouraged to walk around after the surgery, it is important that they not engage in any strenuous activity. Although patients are usually able to return to work in approximately a week, care should be taken to avoid contact with the breasts and to refrain from any activity that involves stretching, lifting, pushing, or pulling.
