In our continuing series highlighting Plastic Surgery procedures in Singapore, Expat Choice caught up with internationally acclaimed Plastic Surgeon Dr. Marco Faria Correa to discuss Breast Augmentation Surgery.
It would be a challenge to argue that the breast is the most prominent external identification of femininity, a symbol of motherhood and fertility since the beginning of time.
Women who are confident about the appearance of their breasts often reflect a strong personal charisma and positive self-image. On the other hand, smaller breasts tend not to provide the visual cues associated with fertility and therefore may not trip the pleasure centres of the brain associated with looking at what is perceived to the opposite sex as a beautiful human form.
It is no wonder that Breast Implant Surgery has become one of the most common plastic surgical operations for females in the modern era. Breast Enhancement Surgery can help women have the breast size and shape they have always desired to ultimately improve the silhouette of the body contour.
Breast Augmentation, also referred to as Breast Enlargement, improves the size and appearance of the breasts by implanting silicone breast implants either under or over the chest muscle, thus producing a cosmetic enhancement.
With individual design, breast implants offer patients a superior aesthetic outcome. In breast reconstruction, the application of breast implants improves the quality of life alleviating the subsequent aesthetic deterioration after early-stage breast cancer mastectomy. With less invasion and a satisfactory outcome, breast implantation is still one of the most widely used methods for breast reconstruction and augmentation in the 21st century.
Since Silicone Gel Breast Implants were first introduced as a procedure to aid breast implantation, multiple kinds of prostheses have been applied in breast augmentation and breast reconstruction.
This is not intended to be a sexist or derogatory comment to make in anyway - whatsoever, but in our discussion with Dr. Marco, I raised the question. What makes breasts beautiful? Now, this subjective interpretation can vary according to a given culture, moment in time or race but Dr. Marco Faria Correa explained, what makes breasts beautiful comes down to breast definition.
As the age old saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, although even what are perceived as beautiful breasts can eventually lose their shape, and firmness due to lactation, aging and over time, gravity.
Size is obviously one of the most important factors in breast attractiveness. The use of breast implants to augment breast volume and improve breast shape, is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the world.
Breast Augmentation can create beautiful breasts for women who are unhappy with the size and shape of their breasts. It´s a procedure that makes women feel more feminine and attractive, as it creates breasts that are uniquely sized to complement their frame or body contour.
Breast Implant can either be used during a breast reconstructive surgery, following breast cancer surgery, to balance asymmetrical breasts, or to change the proportions of the body. Successful breast augmentation depends on choosing implants that are the best fit for you. Consequently, the beauty, the elegance and the harmony of the body will help the woman´s confidence and self-esteem.
A good candidate for Breast Implant is an emotionally mature woman, who understands her personal motivations and who has realistic goals for the results of the procedure. According to Dr. Marco Faria Correa Breast Augmentation can be performed at any age after the breasts are fully developed. Successful Breast Augmentation depends on choosing implants that are the best fit for you.
If your breasts are sagging, a breast lift may be recommended in conjunction with augmentation. Also, it is important to note, there is no scientific evidence that Breast Augmentation increases the risk of breast cancer.
Dr. Marco shares, “we tailor our surgical plans and operations by considering the unique needs of each woman, based on lifestyle, physics, and age - to name a few components of our initial assessment. We will consult a patient in choosing the best approach, be it infra-mammary fold, peri-areola or an armpit approach, and also implant placements such as under the muscle or under the breast. This we do case by case”.
Dr. Marco is a pragmatic surgeon who has mastered the minimally invasive and the traditional open methods by applying the latest techniques for properly hiding the scars in the anatomical folds and crease, leaving inconspicuous scars.
He is a well-versed Plastic Surgeon in the various benefits and limitations of the different procedures and methods; hence, he will always advise his patients on what is the best option to achieve the outcome you want.
