Breast Augmentation Surgery in Toronto

We seek to make your recovery as quick as possible by doing the following:

• We prescribe proactive medications to prepare your body before surgery even begins.
• We minimize the use of strong pain medications to reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting.
• We minimize the amount of time you spend under anaesthesia, thereby decreasing recovery issues (eg nausea and / or vomiting) associated with its use.
• We perform the surgery delicately. This leads to less tissue trauma, inflammation and bleeding, as well as works to cut down on pain and complications, particularly capsular contracture. Less risk of capsular contracture means that our patients do not routinely do post-operative massage, which can be painful.
• We select proportionally sized implants with dimensional planning.
• We minimize the use of medical devices (like drainage tubes or pain pumps).
• We follow your surgeon’s post-operative healing regimen.

What Is Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure involving the placement of implants under the soft breast tissue to enhance the volume and shape of your breasts. Breast augmentation can improve your personal body image, increase your cup size, help correct unevenness in breast size or shape, and can restore breasts after changes caused by childbirth, breastfeeding, losing a significant amount of weight, or aging.

With proper preparation and the advanced surgical procedures offered at Edelstein Cosmetic, breast augmentation surgery is safe, effective, and requires little downtime.

Bloodless breast augmentation and drain free recovery

A fiber optic lighted retractor is used to allow for a clear view of the operating area.

Before the breast implant is placed in the body, your surgeon meticulously cauterizes every blood vessel in the area of insertion, eliminating any blood loss and buildup of fluid during recovery. In addition to aiding your recovery, you do not need drains after surgery even when the incision is placed in the armpit (trans-axillary). Your surgeon does this wherever the incisions are placed, whether it is in the breast fold (infra-mammary), in the armpit or around the areola (peri-areolar).

Bloodless breast augmentation is an original innovation of Dr. Edelstein and as such, he has developed methods to implant through all three of these major incision types.

The advanced technique is a tribute to Dr. Edelstein’s commitment to designing a procedure that is safer and shortens the recovery process for patients. All the more reason you should consider Edelstein Cosmetic if you’ve been thinking about a breast augmentation in Toronto.

Choose the right breast implant size with dimensional breast augmentation

You want attractive sexy breasts, not just bigger breasts. Dr Edelstein has studied breast augmentation techniques for more than 15 years and has learned the techniques and approaches to virtually every type of breast augmentation surgery.

WWe do not believe in the “one size fits all” approach to breast augmentation. Each and every patient is treated as a unique individual to deliver the best possible outcome for their particular situation. To achieve a highly satisfying outcome, a sophisticated technique known as dimensional breast augmentation is used for the most natural looking breast implants.

Dimensional breast augmentation

Dimensional breast augmentation is designed to consistently achieve the most natural–looking result so you won’t look disproportionate or “plastic”. It is a formula that is complemented by the keen artistic eye of our breast surgeons, offering you a custom surgical experience from your initial consultation through recovery. Dimensional breast augmentation is a method based on the measurements of your original, pre-surgery body contour and your desired outcome. It considers such variables as your height, weight, breast width, breast height, distance between nipple and breast fold, as well as your desired cup size to determine the most suitable implant size, type and specific surgical technique.

With dimensional breast augmentation, you will enjoy an improvement that is a pleasing enhancement of the harmonious proportions of your overall body contours. It has improved the rate of satisfaction considerably for our patients. You’ll be less confused about what implant size to get and less hesitant about your surgery. (In fact, a better mindset going into surgery has actually been scientifically proven to improve your rate of recovery!)

You will receive this cutting-edge technique at no additional cost with your breast augmentation.

The No-Touch Technique with the Keller Funnel

You may have heard about The Keller Funnel.

The Keller Funnel is a single-use medical device that is designed to make the insertion of cohesive gel silicone breast implants easier, due to an internal hydrophilic coating that becomes very slippery when wet. It can be used for textured or smooth implant surfaces.

The implant is passed from its sterile container directly into the Keller Funnel, and then slides through it into the space created inside the breast. In this way, the implant never touches the surgeon’s gloved hands or the skin of the patient’s breast. This is known as the “No Touch Technique”.
*The Keller Funnel is believed to reduce the risk of capsular contracture, although the risk of capsular contracture is already extremely low for our patients—only 1%, which is exponentially lower than the current average of 10%-25%!*

How to enhance your breasts

A routine surgical procedure involving placement of implants to add volume to your breasts.

Breast augmentation enables you to

• Feel sexier and more attractive.
• Enjoy wearing the clothes you’ve always wanted to wear, and know that you look great in them without a padded bra.
• Turn heads at the beach.
• Look more feminine or reclaim lost femininity.
• Be admired for your improved body contour.
• Not be embarrassed about the asymmetry of your breasts.
• Replace the volume lost from pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Have a body you can feel fantastic about.

It is also important that you are informed about what the surgery entails, and that you have realistic expectations about what breast augmentation can accomplish for you. During the initial consultation at our clinic in Toronto, your doctor will assess your state of health and suitability for this procedure.

Are You A Candidate?

The best candidate for breast augmentation surgery is fairly fit and generally healthy. Meeting these basic physical requirements ensures that your body can handle this elective surgery, and that you will recover quickly afterwards. If you have recently given birth, you should be finished breastfeeding at least 1 to 2 months before the consultation so that your breasts will have settled into their post-baby size and shape.

Important Issues To Consider With Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast augmentation surgery is a procedure that can produce very desirable results for the right candidates. However, you should be aware that each patient’s body can accommodate different types and sizes of implants. This means there may be limitations to the size of the implants that are appropriate for your body. During your consultation, your doctor will listen to your needs and goals, and will be honest about what is possible and recommended for your unique physique.

As with all surgeries, there are some risks associated with breast augmentation. At Edelstein Cosmetic in Toronto, our doctors perform careful, advanced surgical techniques to avoid complications; however, there is still a very slight (a 1%) risk of capsular contracture.

Some types of implants may rotate and will need to be surgically readjusted. It is also important to remember that even today’s high-quality breast implants only last about 15-20 years, and that future surgery may be required to replace either one or both of the implants.

INCISIONS REQUIRED FOR BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY

Our surgeons use advanced techniques and tools to ensure they make the smallest incisions necessary, and that they minimize tissue damage during surgery. An incision must be made on or beside each breast so that the implants may be inserted, but scarring will be minimal and very difficult to see once your body has healed. There are three possible incision locations to insert the implants.

1The first is placing the implants through an incision underneath the breast, in the inframammary fold. This incision gives your surgeon the best opportunity to visually plan and prepare the pockets for your implants, and may work best to correct breast asymmetry where the inframammary fold (fold under the breast) needs to be adjusted.

2The second possible incision, called the peri-areolar incision, is placed around the areola of the nipple. This option allows the surgeon to minimize the look of scarring for patients with darker skin.

3Lastly, a breast implant may also be placed through the armpit, via the transaxillary incision. This incision leaves minimal, hidden scars only.
