When getting breast augmentation at Denver Face and Body you are never treated as a conventional patient, but always as an individual. For this reason, we do not charge for follow-up visits to ensure that you have the individual attention and care you need for your individual body. Our post procedure care is unparalleled.

If the following pertains to you, breast augmentation at Denver Face and Body may be a good solution:

• Self-conscious because your breasts are too small or unshapely
• Your breasts have changed shape because of weight loss or other factors
  
• Your breasts have lost their firmness and shape after child birth
• Swim suits that fit your bottom don't fit your top, disproportionate measurements
• One breast is smaller than the other

Because breast augmentation is a surgical procedure, the following are requirements for breast enhancement in Denver:

• Your breast development must be complete
• The psychological, or motivating factors for breast augmentation must be understood by you
• Understanding that breast augmentation will not bring perfection, but improvement
• Annual follow-up visits must be made and must adhere to the American Cancer Society guidelines

We will provide more information about these requirements during your initial consultation.

What happens during your initial consultation for breast implants in Denver?
The overall goal during your initial consultation at Denver Face and Body is education; you will be educated on what breast augmentation entails, how it is performed and we will answer all of your questions and address any concerns. We also get educated; during the consultation we will learn about you, your likes and dislikes and what your goals are.

The size of breast implant is your choice. To help you in making a size decision, you will try on a bra with different sized implants during your initial consultation to see how you look with the different size and shape options available to you.

Also as part of your consultation, we will examine and photograph your breasts for your medical record. Our surgeon will consider the risks and benefits of breast augmentation to you and will take into consideration your current breast size and shape, including the nipples and areolas (the pigmented skin surrounding the nipples).

How is breast augmentation in Denver performed?

There are many different techniques and procedures depending on your desired result. There are three insertion locations for implants: within the armpit, around the bottom "ring" of the areola and within the natural underside crease of the breast. Implants rest either just behind the breast tissue or below the breast tissue and above the chest wall under the pectoral muscle.

Your Denver Face and Body surgeon will review each option during your initial consultation.

Are implants safe?
We use every safety precaution for breast augmentation at Denver Face and Body. Women over 22 years of age can choose between saline-filled and the new FDA approved silicone cohesive gel implants. The saline-filled, silicone rubber shelled implant is filled with sterilized salt water. In the unlikely case of leaking, the salt water is harmlessly absorbed by the body. The silicone cohesive gel implant features a cohesive, gelatin-like substance that acts as a solid rather than a liquid. If there is a leak or rupture of the implant, the MemoryGel(tm) binds to itself reducing the chance of the silicone spreading beyond the implant.

Our surgery centers meet the rigorous requirements for JCAHO accreditation (Joint Commission Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations). JCAHO accreditation is associated with superior risk management, and is the same regulating body that oversees all major hospitals, both in Denver and nationally.

By choosing Dr. Goldstein, an experienced veteran surgeon, and by having your procedure performed in a JCAHO accredited facility, you can be sure you will receive great results without having to worry about your safety.

We have materials and information available on implant surgery, research and safety, and will be happy to provide it to you during your initial consultation.

What type of breast implant does Denver Face and Body use?
Dr. Goldstein offers both saline-filled implants and the new FDA approved cohesive silicone gel implants. Because each individual is different, we may want to perform a Mastopexy, or breast lift along with the implant. All of your options, as well as our professional recommendations will be discussed during your initial consultation.

Saline-filled breast implants
The smooth, round saline implant is a popular choice among breast augmentation patients because it is safe and it produces high-quality results. The saline implant is filled with sterilized salt water. On the off chance that a leak does occur, the salt water will be harmlessly absorbed by the body.

Saline implants do have advantages over silicone implants. Saline implant ruptures are easier to detect than silicone ruptures. When a saline implant ruptures, it deflates, allowing the rupture to be detected almost immediately. On the other hand, when a silicone implant ruptures, the breast will look and feel the same, as the silicone implant was designed to bind to itself and remain in a semi-solid state, causing the rupture to be more difficult to visibly detect.

Dr. Goldstein offers free consultation for breast augmentation, and will provide professional recommendations as to which implant is best for you. To discuss your breast implant options, schedule your free consultation now.

Silicone cohesive gel implants
Women over the age of 22 may choose the new FDA approved silicone cohesive gel implants. These gelatin-like pieces act as a solid rather than a liquid.

Silicone implants do have advantages over saline implants. The silicone implant creates a breast that is considered softer and more natural feeling, and is said to maintain its shape and upright position. The durability looks incredibly promising as well. In addition, if there is a leak or rupture of the implant, the MemoryGel(tm) binds to itself, reducing the chance that the silicone will spread beyond the implant.

The choice between silicone and saline is ultimately up to the individual client. For more information on breast implants and which option is best for you, schedule your consultation now.
