How Liposuction Works Choose Your Enhancement
At Athēnix, our plastic surgeons employ expert surgical techniques in their approach to breast augmentation. Both silicone and saline implants consist of an outer silicone shell, each providing a slightly different texture and feel. Our surgeons meticulously select the ideal size, shape, type, and placement of implants to achieve a youthful, full, and natural-looking outcome. Fat transfer offers a more subtle enhancement with a natural look and feel.
Silicone Implants
Silicone implants are prefilled with a special silicone gel that aims to mimic the natural feel of human fat, producing a texture closely resembling natural breast tissue. At Athēnix, our surgeons utilize FDA-approved Natrelle® and Sientra® implants, which come in various sizes and shapes and automatically enroll you in a complimentary warranty program, providing reassurance about the safety and durability of your implants.
Natural Fat Transfer
The natural fat transfer for breast augmentation entails using liposuction to extract excess fat from areas like the thighs or abdomen and transferring it to the breasts. This approach provides a more natural appearance and sensation than implants, without the risk of implant rupture or rejection. It serves as a dual-purpose procedure, enhancing the breasts while sculpting another area of the body.
Saline Implants
Saline breast implants are filled with sterile saltwater, providing a versatile and adaptable choice for breast augmentation. They are available pre-filled or can be filled during the surgery, allowing for easier size adjustments. In the event of a rupture, the body safely absorbs the saline. These implants are FDA-approved and suitable for women aged 18 years or older.
