Breast Augmentation Before and After: Visualizing Your Results with Dr. Rajaie Hazboun
Breast Augmentation Pre- and Post-Procedure: The First Step Toward Informed Decisions
Breast augmentation is more than silicone or saline—it’s about alignment. Alignment of your body, your goals, and a surgeon’s expertise. Dr. Rajaie Hazboun, a fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, emphasizes that “the ‘before and after’ isn’t just photos; it’s understanding how implants interact with your tissue, chest anatomy, and lifestyle.” While online galleries aren’t available here for patient privacy, our clinic offers private viewing of curated before-and-after books during consultations. This tactile approach, paired with Dr. Hazboun’s precision in subglandular or submuscular placement, ensures you visualize outcomes tailored to your frame.
The Science of Placement: Where Your Implant Lies Matters
Implants sit either above (subglandular) or below (submuscular) the chest muscle. Each option impacts aesthetics, recovery, and long-term results.
| Subglandular Placement | Submuscular Placement |
|---|---|
| Over the muscle, under breast tissue | Under the muscle |
| Quicker recovery | Longer recovery, natural slope |
| Ideal for athletic builds | Reduces implant visibility |
| May show edges in thin patients | Better for mammography screening |
| Higher risk for capsular contracture | |
| Must have enough tissue to cover the implant |
Dr. Hazboun notes: “Submuscular placement often produces a softer transition, especially if you have limited natural tissue. But it’s not one-size-fits-all—your anatomy dictates the best path.”
Key Considerations When Choosing Your Surgeon
- Specialization: Ensure they’re trained in breast augmentation, not just general plastic surgery.
- Transparency: Will they discuss risks like capsular contracture or hematoma?
- FDA-Approved Implants: Silicone and saline options have evolved since the 1990s—verify their materials.
FAQs: Addressing Common Concerns
Q: Can I feel silicone implants?
A: Submuscular placement often masks edges. “The goal is for you to feel natural, not the implant,” says Dr. Hazboun.
Q: How long do results last?
A: Implants aren’t lifetime devices. Monitor them annually; plan for replacement every 10–15 years.
Q: What if I don’t want general anesthesia?
A: Local anesthesia with sedation is an option, but most choose a “sleep-like” state for comfort.
