The Most Natural Breast Implants in Denver, Colorado

We receive many calls on daily basis from inquiring patients aksing the difference between saline breast implants and the Memory Gel high cohesive silicone gel breast implants. The final implant selection is a personal choice made by the patient, but one that can be easily made once the patient knows all of the facts. Listed below are some key differences in the implants that might help to make the choice a little easier for our Denver, Colorado breast augmentation patients.

Mentor Saline Implants

The saline breast implant is made of a silicone shell, and has been the only choice for women looking to have breast augmentation for a number of years. It is made of a silicone shell that comes to the surgeon empty. During surgery the surgeon will place the implant through the preferred incision site, and will be inflated with saline solution.

The pros of choosing a saline implant include: more incision site options, confirmed rip or tear because implant will deflate, lower in cost.

The cons for choosing a saline implant include: higher risk for a deflation requiring a second surgery, higher chance for rippling in very thin women, does not look or feel as natural, fewer profile options.

Memory Gel Breast Implants

The high cohesive silicone gel breast implant was approved by the FDA in 2006 for cosmetic purposes. This implant however has been around since 1993 but was only approved for reconstructive use. The silicone shell is made of three layers (the old silicone implant was made with one shell and the silicone substance was similar to the consistency of motor oil) and can be considered as a solid form. A patient would never know if they had a small rip or tear in this implant because it does not leak into the body and the likelihood of having to remove and replace due to a deflation is much lower than that of a saline implant.

The pros of choosing the high cohesive silicone gel breast implant include: look and feel more natural, lower chance of rippling, lower risk of developing a deflation, lifetime warranty, and more profile options allowing patient to tailor their result.

The cons of choosing the high cohesive silicone gel breast implant include: slightly more expensive, rountine MRI's recommened by manufacturer, uncertainty of tear.

Dr. Broadway at bodevolve is the most experienced plastic surgeon in Colorado to implant the high cohesive silicone gel implants because he was selected in 2002 as a participant in a national study allowing him to implant gel implants 4 years prior to other cosmetic surgeons.

Natural Breast Augmentation Results in Lone Tree, Cherry Creek North, Denver

250 cc Moderate Plus Profile Memory Gel Breast Implants

When patients visit our office inquiring about Denver breast augmentation procedures, we are often told they want their result to look very natural and not like Pamela Anderson. A big misconception among both men and women is that if you have breast augmentation surgery, it means you will also have huge implants and very large breasts. At our Lone Tree and Cherry Creek North offices, Dr. Broadway's statement to this theory; “bigger is not always better.”

Triple board certified surgeon Dr. David Broadway has built his Colorado breast augmentation reputation as being a surgeon who uses very natural breast implant sizes. Many of Dr. Broadway’s breast augmentation patients choose smaller Mentor Saline or Memory Gel breast implants because they are very physically active, or because they only want to add back the minimal volume they lost after nursing. A great number of Dr. Broadway’s breast augmentation patients elect to only increase their cup size to a large B or very small C cup. We never push big implants sizes at our office and we do not believe big is always better.

To learn more about your upcoming breast augmentation procedure in Lone Tree, Cherry Creek North, Denver, and Fort Collins, please call our office to schedule you initial consultation. You will have a chance to try on small implant sizes as well as be placed on our 3-Dimensional VECTRA system to actually view what different sizes will simulate on you after surgery.

How to Avoid Risks Assosiated With Breast Augmentation

Dr. David Broadway is a multi-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is very proficient with breast augmentations. In his 18 years of experience, he has developed a meticulous technique that decreases your risk of Capsular Contraction. After breast augmentation with breast implants, excessive scar tissue may form around the breast implant which causes the breast implants to harden (similar to what a contracted muscle feels like) as the naturally forming scar tissue around the breast implant tightens and squeezes it. To some degree this is normal.

Dr. Broadway performs surgery at Renewal Surgery Center, the only state-licensed ambulatory surgery center in Colorado that is dedicated to plastic surgery. During your breast augmentation procedure, Dr. Broadway is the only person to physically handle the implant to minimize any infection, which can be a related factor to capsular contraction.

Another preventative measure is that Dr. Broadway puts a drain in each breast after surgery. These drains exit right next to the outside of the incision that is about 4cm long. Each drain on average empties approximately 50-100ml the first night post surgery. This is beneficial because the drains pull away this excess fluid that your body makes to fill any voids. This in turn minimizes the chance for any infection to take place.

To learn more about how to prevent risks associted with Breast Augmentation please call our office to schedule your initial consultation. We have been told by numerous patients that Dr. Broadway's Colorado breast augmentation consultation is one of the most informative and detailed. Patients are comfortable and confident going forward with their surgery and have then most beautiful breast augmentation results.

Denver's Best Breast Augmentation

BreastAugmentation VASER Hi Def Breast

Years ago when women decided to have breast augmentation surgery in Denver, Colorado they weren’t offered many options. Saline breast implants were the only implants approved by the FDA and other surgical advances that are offered today were still in the research phase.

Although the saline breast implant has offered beautiful augmentations to women across the nation, the best plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills, New York, and Colorado have taken standard augmentation to the next level with supplementary procedures. Today women can elect softer more natural looking gel implants, or compliment their augmentation with procedures such as VASER Hi Def Breast or the VASER breast lift.

Renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. David Broadway, offers his patients the most advanced aesthetic devices and the most cutting procedures providing his patients the best breast augmentation results in Colorado and possibly in the nation.
