Chicago Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation increases the size of the breast and improves the overall shape. Implants are usually saline or silicone and can be placed through a variety of incision which include around the areola, underneath the breast, in the armpit or through the ubelly button.

Saline and silicone implants are both approved by the FDA. Both implants have been studied for long term complications and the effects of silicone and saline in the body. The results of these studies have not shown any increased risk for breast cancer or autimmune diseases.

For the last several years, implants have been placed underneath the muscle to minimize the risks of capsular contraction (scar forming around the implant) and to minimize the rounded appearance at the top of the chest. With newer implants and silicone implants, the shape of the breast can be natural with placement above the muscle. For breasts that have dropped in position with age or pregnancy, placement above the muscle can provide a better shape. Dr. Lee will discuss with you whether placement above the muscle or below the muscle is better for your body type.
