Breast Augmentation in Maryland

Among the most popular of cosmetic procedures is breast augmentation surgery ("augmentation mammaplasty"). Breast surgery has been performed since the 1960s and throughout the decades there have been many advancements in breast implant options and techniques. This not only makes it easier to design the surgery towards the individual's personal goals, but also provides more safety for the patient.

Dr. Markmann will discuss your desires in regards to the size and shape of your breasts during the consultation. This will determine which approach will help you achieve your goals. Depending on the patient's preference, saline or silicone gel breast implants will be used. Along with the implant type, Dr. Markmann will also discuss the different insertion sites, such as through the armpit, through the nipple, or under the breast crease. Transumbilical breast augmentation is also available in Columbia MD, which is performed through the belly button, leaving the patient with no visible scarring. He will explain the pros and cons, including the scarring that each entails during the consultation. Implants will be placed either above or beneath the pectoralis muscle (breast muscle); typically, Dr. Markmann prefers under the muscle because it yields more natural-looking results and less palpability of ripples or folds. It is also the best position for the implants so that they do not interfere with cancer detection on mammography.

Women who are undergoing breast augmentation surgery to correct loss of volume due to pregnancy often desire breast lift surgery ("mastopexy") or combine this with complementary body reshaping procedures, such as tummy tuck surgery ("abdominoplasty"), and liposuction ("lipoplasty"). By combining tummy tuck surgery, liposuction, and/or breast augmentation, women can restore a more feminine and youthful figure.
