Straight talk on breast augmentation, breast enhancement, breast enlargement and breast implants.

Breast augmentation, breast enhancement or breast enlargement can have a dramatic effect on a woman's life. Positive changes in sensuality, better fitting clothing with improved body contour and self esteem are but a few of the benefits gained from breast implants.

Dr. Spence believes in a woman's choice when it comes to breast augmentation surgery and has developed a very busy practice through "The Natural Look" breast augmentation. It is important that women keep up-to-date with the options for breast augmentation. Now more than ever there are different shaped implants to produce a variety to the shape and size of the breasts depending on a woman's choice. (anatomic implants, teardrop implants, round implants).

Planning "The Natural Look" breast augmentation takes time, often one to two hours during your consultation. If a woman would take two hours to choose a dress or bathing suit why not take two hours to choose the right breast implant?

The shape of the implant you choose can to some degree determine the final shape of the breast depending on the tightness of the skin, the position of the implant (behind the muscle vs. in front of the muscle) and the shape of your chest.

The placement of the implant behind the muscle vs. in front of the muscle is a frequent debate, each having their pros and cons. The thin patient with very little breast tissue would be better off with the breast implant placed behind the muscle, while the body builder with well developed muscle would be better off with implants in front of the muscle. Your choice should be based on your particular set of circumstances.

Saline breast implants are approved by the FDA and are available to the public. Dr. Spence places silicone gel breast implants through an investigative study. Ask about the difference between saline and silicone implants during your consultation.

Breast implants come in high profile, low profile and moderate profile. This can sometimes be a little confusing. A high profile implant will give more projection to the nipples and a 'busty' look. A moderate profile implant will round out the chest.
