Although most trends come and go, beautiful breasts have long been viewed as synonymous with femininity. As a result, women have been looking for ways to enhance their busts for centuries. Thus, while we tend to think of a breast augmentation as a modern procedure, variations of this surgery have been performed since the 19th century. However, breast augmentation procedures have come a long way as a result of technological advancements. Today, Toronto breast augmentation surgery is incredibly safe, atraumatic, and delivers beautiful, natural looking results.

Our genetics dictate how our body forms, determining the shape and size of our breasts, areolae and nipples. Because the various parts of our body develop in different ways, some women may have “perfect” breasts, but still suffer from overly long, large or drooping nipples. In some cases, these features of nipple enlargement (hypertrophy) may be accompanied by abnormally large areolae, though one problem often presents without the other. The condition usually develops during adolescence, after pregnancy or during menopause.
It can be hard for women affected by nipple hypertrophy to wear form-fitting bras or tight clothing. Visible nipples can lead […]

If you’re considering a breast augmentation in Toronto, you are likely aware of the two most popular breast implant types used in Canada: saline and silicone cohesive gel. Most patients have a basic understanding of the difference between the two implant materials before scheduling their initial consultation, however, many are unaware that each implant also comes in a variety of different textures, shapes, and sizes. Since your choice of breast implant will determine the outcome of your procedure, it is important to have a clear understanding of the options before scheduling your breast augmentation.

The purpose of breast massage after augmentation exercises is to keep the scar tissue that forms around your implants following breast augmentation as soft and pliable as possible. By performing these exercises as described, you can help soften the internal scar, minimize the risk of significant capsular contracture and maximize the likelihood of a soft, natural feel and appearance to your breast. However, is breast massage necessary?
BREAST MASSAGE IS NOT NECESSARY AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATIONThe development of capsular contracture is a complication of breast augmentation. There are many theories as to why capsular contracture happens, and our Plastic Surgeons pay close […]
Breast screening mammograms (or breast x-rays) are incredibly important. Women with breast implants following breast augmentation may be concerned about whether or not their implants will interfere with this process, but, despite a few changes to how the mammogram is conducted, the procedure is still safe and recommended.
The most common risks involve the implant lowering the effectiveness of mammograms in detecting breast cancers. Because the implant takes up space in the breast, less tissue can be seen during the screening, making it more difficult to monitor for unusual growths. Be sure to inform the radiographer and mammogram technician of your […]
