Conditions Improved By Breast Implants

Many conditions lead patients to want larger breasts. Some of the most common reasons for breast implants are below. Small Breasts Most women who choose to undergo breast implant surgery feel that their breasts are too small for their figure. Surprisingly, most women actually want to increase their cup size by only one size or they wish to have enlarged breasts that appear natural and proportional to their figure. Shrinking Breasts after Pregnancy During pregnancy, breasts grow markedly to produce enough milk to sustain the newborn baby. After months of engorgement and nursing, the skin on the breast loses some elasticity. Soon after the cessation of breastfeeding, breast tissue generally involutes or thins out to a size smaller than before pregnancy. Coupled with decreased skin elasticity, the breasts droop and sag. Enlarging and lifting the breasts with implants can return the breasts to their original size while correcting the droopiness or ptosis. Droopy Ptotic Breasts Decreased tissue elasticity leads to droopy breasts. Multiple pregnancies can exaggerate droopiness. Breast implant surgery lifts the breasts to a more youthful position. Uneven Breasts Nearly 100 percent of women have uneven or asymmetrical breasts. When the size difference is significant and noticeable, a small implant in the smaller breast dramatically corrects the asymmetry. Some women may choose to place an implant in both breasts, using a larger breast implant in the smaller breast. Congenital Deformities Several congenital conditions lead to uneven breast size and shape. Poland's Syndrome is a condition that affects the arms and breasts, resulting in extremely small or abnormally developed breasts. Pectus excavatum condition is the abnormal development of the ribs and sternum causing an "excavated" appearance of the chest. The ribs and sternum depress the insides of the chest cavity. Consequently, the breasts develop inwardly resulting in extremely wide cleavage. Properly selected breast implants can improve the deformity associated with this condition by simply filling in the depression in the ribs. Breast Cancer Reconstruction Breast implant surgery remains one of the premier options for reconstructing the breasts after breast cancer surgery. Though radiation therapy after breast cancer surgery can negatively affect the softness of breast implants, some surgeons still recommend breast augmentation to reconstruct irradiated breasts. Tubular Breasts Some women have breasts with a narrow base, which can herniate or protrude through their nipple-areola complexes. To correct such a deformity, doctors must cut the connective tissue thereby widening the base of the breast. A breast implant fills in the space and maintains the aesthetic of normal base width.

Some concierge practices do not accept insurance of any kind. These are as cash-only or direct primary care practices. By refusing to deal with insurance companies, these practices can keep overhead and administrative costs low, thereby providing affordable healthcare to patients. They become concierge only if the practice assesses an annual or monthly fee instead of or in addition to a fee for each medical service. Other concierge practices do take insurance, even Medicare, but ask for an annual fee for additional services exclusive of insurance plans. This annual fee is not a substitute for medical insurance, and generally does not cover consultations outside the practice, laboratory procedures, medicines, hospitalizations, or emergency care from other providers.
