Breast Augmentation

What is Breast Augmentation?

Las Vegas NV

Breast Augmentation enhances the size and shape of a woman's breasts with the placement of silicone or saline implants. According to Dr. Marvin Spann, events that can change the look of the breasts include pregnancy, nursing, weight loss or aging. In addition, some women are born with limited breast tissue or have anatomical features they wish to improve (I.e. uneven breasts). Breast Augmentation offers immediate results, and can have lasting, positive effects on a woman's self-esteem. Las Vegas plastic surgeon Dr. Marvin Spann can help you get the breasts you've always wanted, or regain the figure you once had through a safe, popular procedure that is customized just for you. During your personal consultation, Dr. Marvin Spann will listen to your concerns and explain the details of Breast Augmentation surgery.

BEFORE & AFTER

DISCOVER YOUR PERFECT LOOK

Implant Profile
An implant profile depicts the distance the breast will project forward from the chest wall. Implants are made in low, moderate, high and extra high profiles. During your personal consultation with Dr. Marvin Spann, he will explain the different profiles and help determine which is the best for your body type.
Shape & Texture
The implants Dr. Marvin Spann uses come in several shapes. Round implants tend to offer more fullness on the top of the breast, while teardrop implants are touted to mimic the shape and look of natural breasts. During your consultation, Dr. Marvin Spann will help you to determine which implant is right for you; textured versus round, round versus shaped. Determining the correct implant for each individual patient is what makes Dr. Marvin Spann one of the most respected and most requested plastic surgeons in the Las Vegas Valley. Be sure to contact us today to schedule your consultation with Dr. Marvin Spann. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Breast implants are made with a smooth or textured surface. Round implants can be chosen with either surface, while teardrop implants are made with a textured surface only.

AFTER SURGERY

Dr. Marvin Spann performs Breast Augmentation under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. It typically takes between 1-2 hours to complete and is considered an outpatient procedure. After surgery, patients will need to rest for a couple of days but will be encouraged to move around in order to promote circulation. As the skin adjusts to the new breast size, it is normal to feel tightness in the chest area. Patients may resume their normal exercise routines within 4-6 weeks. It typically takes around 6 months for the breasts to fall into their final position. The result is a softer, natural looking breast appearance.

FIRST 24 HOURS:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Both saline and silicone implants are popular choices among surgeons and patients. In general, patients with a decent amount of breast tissue are good candidates for saline implants, while those with limited tissue and thin chest walls will benefit from silicone. Dr. Marvin Spann will explain your options during your consultation.
Patients sometimes have concerns about the safety of silicone breast implants because of the attention they received in the media years ago. However, the FDA did approve their safety. In addition, no evidence has ever been found to link silicone breast implants to cancer, auto-immune deficiency disease, or any other illness. Ultimately, roughly 60-70 % of today’s breast augmentation patients choose silicone over saline. For reconstruction cases, they choose them 3 times more often.
Breast Augmentation will help with size, but it will not correct sagging. If you are happy with the shape and laxity of your breasts, then implants alone may meet your cosmetic goals. If sagging is what is most bothersome to you, then you may be considered for a Breast Lift. During your consultation, Dr. Marvin Spann will determine if you are better suited for Breast Augmentation, a Breast Lift, or a combination of the two. More information on a Breast Lift procedure can be found on our Breast Lift page
Modern engineering creates strong and durable implants. With proper care and regular check-ups, the risks for rupture are rare. If a saline implant does rupture, the solution will be absorbed by the body and the implant will deflate, becoming visibly noticeable. If a silicone implant ruptures, the cohesive gel will stay intact and will not leak into the body. An MRI will be necessary to detect a silicone defect.
Most implants will last about 10 to 15 years. Some can last even longer. If there is no rupture, leakage, deflation, or any other visible defects (such as rippling), then there is no need to change the implant or have any type of secondary surgery. We look forward to meeting you and answering all of your questions regarding Breast Augmentation surgery with Dr. Marvin Spann!
