Breast Augmentation in Boca Raton
What makes a woman decide to have breast augmentation in Boca Raton after she spends months, or even years, thinking about it?
Many women whose breasts have become deflated after pregnancy and breastfeeding choose to restore their figure once their family is complete. Some women decide that they have lived with asymmetrical or misshapen breasts long enough and it's time to take action. Still others research the procedure, learn that it is safe and straightforward, and elect to create the fuller, shapelier look they have always wanted.
No matter what's motivating you, don't spend any more time just thinking about breast enlargement in Boca Raton. When you request a FREE consultation with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Schuster, you can feel confident that you are in good hands. A warm, caring plastic surgeon, Dr. Schuster will consider your individual needs carefully, then help you understand and think through your options.
The Basics – Breast Enlargement
At Schuster Plastic Surgery, your breast enlargement procedure will be customized for you. During this procedure, a breast implant is placed inside a pocket formed underneath the breast tissue called the capsule or pocket. Dr. Schuster will help you choose from several breast augmentation options including implant size and shape, and incision location. He has experience placing implants both above and below the chest muscle.
Many women can benefit from a mastopexy, or breast lift, combined with breast augmentation. Moms interested in "mommy makeover" surgery often need to restore both volume and position to regain a youthful profile.
Your Procedure, Your New Look
Breast enlargement surgery usually takes around 2 hours. It's performed as an outpatient procedure, under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. You'll return home the same day in a soft bandage or elastic bra with oral pain relievers to take for a few days as needed. Most women find they can go back to work in a few to several days, adding more strenuous activities gradually over a 2 to 3 week period.
With his extensive training, years of experience and dedication to continuing education, Dr. Schuster can create beautiful, natural looking breasts for you. If you're like most of his patients, you'll be thrilled with your new shape. You'll look forward to more clothing options—wearing dresses, tops and bathing suits you might have left on the rack before surgery. You're very likely to feel more satisfied with your appearance and you may even find your self-confidence at a new level.

Dr. Schuster Answers Your Questions
There are many aspects of breast surgery you'll want to discuss when you come in for your consultation. I look forward to meeting you and learning more about your concerns and cosmetic goals. In the meantime, here are answers to questions many of my patients have about breast enlargement.
Will breast augmentation make my breasts more likely to sag?
All breasts relax over time for several reasons: gravity stretches the skin, the skin loses elasticity, and breast tissue often decreases with weight changes and pregnancy. Therefore, you can expect your breasts to sag whether or not there are implants. Though the implants do increase the weight of the breasts, the implants and capsule can also provide internal support. After breast augmentation, breasts usually don't sag as rapidly as they would have if they were naturally larger, but do relax faster than if they remained small.
Can I breastfeed after surgery?
Most women can breastfeed successfully after breast augmentation, but you will not know for sure until you actually try. During surgery, I can minimize impact to the milk ducts by placing the implants below the chest muscle and keeping incisions away from the nipples. Before your surgery, it's important to inform me of your future desire to breastfeed.
Can I combine other plastic surgery procedures with my breast augmentation?
Yes. Many women in Boca Raton interested in breast augmentation choose a "mommy makeover" to restore a more youthful, pre-pregnancy shape. This customized set of procedures commonly includes breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction.
