Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is not for everyone — and patients who aren’t sure what they want should never be rushed; they should wait until they are certain. But for those patients who are ready and have a clear vision of how they want to transform, breast augmentation is an excellent way to achieve their goals. Because breast augmentation is an incredibly popular procedure, there are some misconceptions about what it is designed to accomplish and who might be a good candidate. Dr. Lawton spends extra time with every patient in order to ensure they feel comfortable with the specifics of the procedure and the projection of their results. Most good candidates for breast augmentation will exhibit at least some of the following characteristics:

• A desire for larger breasts
• Uneven or asymmetrical breasts
• A desire to enhance the proportions between the hips, waist, and breasts
• Fully developed breasts
• Good physical health (women considering the procedure should not be pregnant or nursing, or planning to get pregnant in the near future)
• Dissatisfaction with the volume of the breasts
• Realistic expectations about what breast augmentation can accomplish

One important note: Patients considering breast augmentation should be doing so for themselves — not because of outside pressure from a spouse or significant other. During your private consultation with Dr. Lawton, you will be able to discuss any specific concerns you might have about your medical history or about achieving the results you want.
