Breast Augmentation in Columbus, OH
Women in Columbus, Ohio, choose to enhance their breasts through breast augmentation for many reasons. Although each patient is unique, women seeking breast augmentation in Columbus, Ohio, usually fall into one or more of the following groups:
- Women who have had children or who have lost a significant amount of weight and want to restore fullness and lost volume to their breasts. In this situation, a breast augmentation is often combined with a breast lift, but sometimes, implants alone are enough to create fullness in the upper portion of the breasts which creates the illusion of a lift. Dr. Houser can help you determine which procedure is appropriate for you, during your consultation.
- Women who have not had children or women who are happy with the shape of their breasts, but want to increase the overall size of their breasts through breast augmentation
- Women whose breasts are asymmetrical and who want to balance the size and shape of their breasts
What to Expect at Your Breast Augmentation Consultation in our Columbus, Ohio office
A breast augmentation consultation usually lasts about an hour in our Columbus, Ohio office. During your consultation with Dr. Houser, a complete medical history will be taken.
During your consultation, you will have a discussion with Dr. Houser about the specific changes that you would like to see in your breasts, because not all women are looking for the same types of changes. It is very important to Dr. Houser that each and every patient is very happy with her results. He achieves this by spending much more time during the consultation and planning phase with each patient than the average plastic surgeon does.
During your breast augmentation consultation, Dr. Houser will also examine your breasts, take measurements, and make recommendations about your options. Many patients find it helpful to bring a list of questions.
Topics that are usually discussed during a breast augmentation consultation in our Columbus, Ohio office include:
- Types of implants (saline & silicone)
- Incisions
- Sizing
- Placement (above or below the muscle)
- What to expect the day of surgery
- Risks
- Recovery
- Follow-up care
- Any concerns that you have
Out of concern for patient privacy, Dr. Houser does not publish patient before & after photos on the internet. Because of the open nature of the internet, once a photo is posted, it can be used by anyone for almost any purpose. In addition, photos alone, without detailed information can be very misleading. Before & after photos of breast augmentation are available for in-office viewing where patient privacy is protected and Dr. Houser can discuss the details of the photos with you.
