Breast Augmentation in The Villages, FL

What is Breast Augmentation?

Bespoke Approach

Today, breast augmentation is the most frequently performed plastic surgery procedure. Patients who choose breast augmentation do so for a variety of medical and aesthetic reasons, including replacing breast mass lost after pregnancy, improving symmetry of the breasts, and correcting a congenital breast defect.

Breast Augmentation Surgery

Your Breast Augmentation Procedure

At VIP in The Villages breast augmentation is performed in our on-site state-licensed ambulatory surgical center by Dr. Yi and a full staff of nurses and technicians. Dr. Yi will begin by making a small incision either under the breast (fold incision) or partially around the areola (periareolar incision), which will allow for the insertion of the breast implant. The location of the incision depends on the patient’s anatomy and preferences and is decided during your initial consultation with Dr. Yi. Read more details on the incision location above.

After the incision is made, the implant is inserted either under your breast tissue and over your chest muscle (sub-glandular placement) or completely under or partially under your chest muscles (sub-muscular placement). Sub-glandular placement (above the muscle) can allow for a faster recovery time and be less painful during recovery than sub-muscular placement. However, sub-glandular placement may make the implant easier to see and feel through your skin. This also carries a higher chance of capsular contracture, which is thickening and tightening of normal scar tissue and may make the breast appear hard or change its shape.
