For many young women, breast augmentation can boost confidence, enhance body proportions, and help them feel more comfortable in their own skin. At Vennemeyer Plastic Surgery in Southlake, TX, Dr. Michael Vennemeyer specializes in breast augmentation and is consistently ranked among the top plastic surgeons in Texas and nationwide.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a popular choice for women who:
- Desire fuller, more balanced curves
- Have naturally small breasts or asymmetry
- Want to improve body proportions for better clothing fit
- Are in overall good health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations
According to FDA guidelines, saline implants are approved for women 18 and older, while silicone implants are approved for those 22 and older.
Why Choose Dr. Vennemeyer?
Dr. Vennemeyer and his team focus on delivering beautiful, natural-looking results while making your experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. Here’s what sets our practice apart:
- Highly Customized Approach: Every surgical plan is tailored to your body, your goals, and your lifestyle.
- Fast Recovery Protocol: Most patients are back to light activities within 24–48 hours.
- Top-Rated Surgeon: Dr. Vennemeyer is consistently recognized in the Top 1% nationally for Allergan breast implant volume.
What Happens During Surgery?
Your journey starts with a personalized consultation where you and Dr. Vennemeyer discuss your goals, review before-and-after photos, and select your ideal implant size and type.
The procedure itself typically takes about one hour and is performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are carefully placed—most commonly under the breast fold—to minimize visible scarring. Implants are then positioned to achieve the most natural look and feel.
What Should You Expect After Surgery?
- Return to Light Activity: Most patients feel well enough to run errands or return to work within 1–2 days.
- Exercise Restrictions: No strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for at least 6 weeks to protect healing implants.
- Post-Op Care: You’ll wear a supportive surgical bra and follow detailed recovery instructions to ensure the best results.
Long-Term Outlook
- Breast implants are designed to last for many years, though they are not lifetime devices.
- You’ll have follow-up visits to monitor healing, and regular self-breast exams and imaging (MRI or ultrasound) are recommended starting 3 years after surgery for silicone implants.
- Most women maintain excellent results for over a decade before considering replacement or revision.
