A More Natural Breast Augmentation There are several reasons women consider breast augmentation. The procedure is used to enhance the body contour of a woman who, for personal reasons, feels her breast size is too small. It can also be utilized to correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy, balance a difference in breast size or as a reconstructive technique following breast surgery. "By inserting an implant behind each breast, surgeons are able to increase a woman's bust by one or more bra cup sizes," explains P. Craig Hobar M.D. "After surgery, breasts appear fuller and more natural in tone and contour."
"I am opposed to the 'TUBA' or transumbilical approach, because there is very little ability to precisely dissect the pocket for the implant," Dr. Hobar says. "The endoscopic assisted transaxillary approach has all the benefit-no scar on the breast-but is much more accurate and artistic in my opinion." To better meet each individual woman's needs, breast implants come in different sizes. In his initial consultation, Dr. Hobar discusses the patient's individual preferences so that he can take them into account in choosing the right implant size and shape. Dr. Hobar performs the surgery in an operating room at the Dallas Day Surgery Center. Dallas Day Surgery offers a state-of-the-art operating facility, the latest equipment, full-service anesthesia and recovery and an overnight hotel suite with a registered nurse in attendance. The surgery usually lasts one to two hours. Dr. Hobar makes the incision and creates a pocket for the implant, precisely controlling the shape the implant and breast will take. Then the implant will be placed in the pocket, filled, and positioned. Finally, the incision will be closed with stitches that dissolve after about a week to ten days. The surgery generally heals within several weeks.

To aid in achieving the most natural possible
results, Dr. Hobar uses the endoscopic technique with most of his breast augmentation
patients. This procedure is completed through an inconspicuous incision in the armpit.
"The transaxillary, or armpit approach is an outstanding way to perform breast
augmentation," he says. "The incision is virtually undetectable after it heals
and there are no scars on the breast." The instrument used, an endoscope, allows very
precise dissection, essential for obtaining the correct placement and shape.
