    What Is Breast Augmentation?

    Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size, shape, or symmetry using implants.

    • Medical definition: Also known as augmentation mammoplasty, this procedure involves placing silicone or saline implants beneath the breast tissue or chest muscles.

    • Why patients seek it: Many women choose augmentation to restore volume lost after pregnancy, achieve better proportion, or improve self-image.

    At Leva Medical in Queens, breast implant surgery is tailored to each patient’s body and goals, with an emphasis on natural-looking results and safety.

    Who Is a Candidate?

    You may be a candidate for breast augmentation if you:

    • Desire fuller or more symmetrical breasts

    • Have lost volume due to pregnancy, weight changes, or aging

    • Are in good overall health and a non-smoker

    • Have realistic expectations about results

    Contraindications:

    • Uncontrolled medical conditions

    • Current pregnancy or breastfeeding

    • History of untreated breast disease or infection

    A personal consultation is essential to determine candidacy.

    How the Procedure Works

    Your breast augmentation journey at Leva Medical typically involves:

    1. Consultation: Discuss your goals, review implant options (silicone vs saline), and undergo a personalized exam.

    2. Pre-op planning: Lab work, medical clearance, and customized surgical planning.

    3. Surgery: Performed in a certified surgical center under anesthesia. Incisions may be placed under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit depending on your anatomy.

    4. Implant placement: Implants are inserted either beneath the breast tissue or chest muscle.

    5. Aftercare: Most patients go home the same day with post-operative instructions and follow-up visits scheduled.

    Breast augmentation can:

    • Increase breast size and fullness

    • Improve body proportion and silhouette

    • Restore confidence after weight loss, pregnancy, or surgery

    Realistic outcomes: Results vary, and while implants are long-lasting, they may require replacement or revision over time.
