Breast Augmentation Toronto

Breast surgery and breast augmentation in particular is a specialty of Dr. Wanzel’s.

Breast augmentation is used to enhance the appearance of the breast by placing a breast implant under the breast mound. Breast augmentation will increase volume, improve the fullness of the breast, correct asymmetry, and provide a more youthful shape.

Breast enhancement surgery remains a popular procedure due to the relative straight forwardness of the operation and the predictability of the results. However, after completing extra training in the form of a fellowship in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery, Dr. Wanzel is well versed in a variety of techniques, allowing him to tailor solutions to your particular needs.

Breast augmentation surgery can be done with either saline-filled implants, which consist of a silicone rubber shell filled with sterile saline (salt water) or newer Health Canada and FDA approved cohesive gel silicone implants.

A small incision is made either underneath the breast, around a portion of the areola, or within the armpit. A pocket is then created into which the implant is inserted. This pocket is either directly behind the breast tissue or beneath the pectoral muscle of the chest.

The surgery is performed as an outpatient, usually under general anesthesia. Thankfully, serious complications of breast augmentation surgery are very infrequent. However, the procedure is expectedly followed by some short term discomfort that is usually easily controlled with medication. A small amount of bruising and swelling is also usually mild and resolves in a short period of time. You can shower a day or two after surgery, and can often resume your normal routine shortly after your breast augmentation.

At your personal consultation, you will be well informed about breast augmentation - the benefits you can expect, the surgery itself, and the recovery period. Individual factors and personal preferences will help you and Dr. Wanzel to determine your appropriate breast size, the type of implant, the location of the incisions and whether the implants should be placed on top of or underneath the muscle.
