Big News in Breast Implants is Small in Raleigh, NC

Breast implants in Raleigh and elsewhere for cosmetic augmentation have been available since the 1960's. By the 1980 breast augmentation was the 2nd most popular plastic surgery (after liposuction), and the motto seemed to be "the bigger the better". The oversized implants seen everywhere in the popular media in the 80's and 90's clearly served to alter the public's perception of what breasts are supposed to look like: large, taut and high.

Today, breast implants are more popular than ever. The American Society of Plastic Surgery (www.plasticsurgery.org) statistics show 329,000 breast augmentation surgeries were performed in 2006. This is an almost 30 percent increase from 2003. But reason is beginning to prevail. Patients are 'rediscovering' the fact that the aesthetic ideal for the female breast is soft, supple, much fuller in the lower than the upper pole, and in proportion to the rest of a woman's figure.

Patients are changing, too. Women in their 30's and 40's, particularly mothers are the fastest growing group of patients seeking breast implants today. These women who have lost breast volume following pregnancy and lactation, and seek to restore a natural, more youthful breast contour. They don't want to look like they've had surgery; they instead wish to 'fill out' clothing better and feel more comfortable out of clothing. Even gals who have not had children are choosing smaller, more realistic appearing breast augmentation. Professional women (including doctors!) want to look their best, but they don't want to look "done".

"I often perform breast augmentation surgery that changes the breast profile from and 'A' cup to a 'B' cup," says Michael Law, MD a board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in Raleigh, NC, formerly of Beverly Hills. "I rarely have patients requesting large implants anymore. But there are still a few who express a desire for a very large, 'done' look. I counsel those patients that although it is possible to achieve that look, if it is truly what they want, I simply won't perform any aesthetic surgery that doesn't look natural. A woman with very large breast implants that doesn't match her frame may look like a cartoon character, and that is not my aesthetic ideal.

One advantage of a conservative breast enhancement is that small implants are much more likely to feel natural. It is possible to provide an enhancement that is soft, supple and even undetectable with a small implant, something that is never achieved with very large breast implants.

"One of my most recent breast enhancement patients (another physician) siad fol at her three-week follow-up appointment: 'If I hadn't written a check to pay for them, I wouldn't know they're not really mine.'

Implants of a conservative (and in my opinion, natural -looking) volume, both saline or silicone gel implants, look natural.

Michael Law MD of Raleigh, North Carolina is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. His Raleigh, NC plastic surgery practice has been featured on the cover of Plastic Surgery News, the official news journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Dr. Law performs surgery in a hospital Operating Room to make sure they're comfortable and receive the best possible postoperative care. Dr. Law's philosophy is that great plastic surgery doesn't look like surgery, it just looks great.
