Some women have always felt their breasts are small for their frame. Clothes don’t fit the way they should, swimsuits are frustrating and it’s easy to feel self-conscious about it. Through breast enhancement, Dr. Eric Desman has helped many women in Northern Virginia get the fuller and more balanced figure they’ve wanted.
Breast enhancement, also called breast augmentation, uses saline or silicone breast implants to increase breast size. No two women want the same result, so every procedure is planned around your body, your proportions and the look you’re after.
The Choices You’ll Make
A big part of breast enhancement happens before surgery, in the planning. Dr. Desman will walk you through each decision so you understand how it affects your final result.
- Implant type. Saline and silicone implants feel and behave a little differently, and each has its own advantages.
- Implant size. The right size depends on your frame, your current breast tissue and how dramatic a change you want.
- Incision placement. Incisions can be made in different spots, and the best one depends on your anatomy and implant choice.
- Implant placement. Implants can sit above or below the chest muscle, which affects how natural they look and feel.
There’s no single correct answer to any of these. The goal is to find the combination that fits you.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
The best candidates for breast enhancement are in good overall health, don’t smoke and have realistic expectations about what surgery can do. If your main concern is sagging rather than size, implants alone may not get you the result you want. In that case, a breast lift with implants may be the better fit.
