Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a highly sought-after procedure aimed at enhancing the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. Dr. Wangui Waithaka, a leading authority in plastic surgery, specializes in creating natural-looking results that align with your aesthetic desires.
This procedure involves the placement of implants or the transfer of fat to increase breast volume. Dr. Waithaka offers various options, including saline and silicone implants, as well as the innovative fat transfer method, where fat is harvested from another part of the body and injected into the breasts. Each method is chosen based on the patient’s unique anatomy and desired outcome.
The consultation process with Dr. Waithaka is thorough and personalized. She will discuss your goals, review your medical history, and conduct a thorough examination to recommend the most suitable approach. This ensures that the outcome is tailored specifically to your body and aesthetic preferences.
The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and lasts between one to two hours. Postoperative care is crucial for optimal healing, and Dr. Waithaka provides instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Initial swelling and discomfort are normal but subside as the healing progresses, unveiling fuller, beautifully enhanced breasts.
Dr. Waithaka’s expertise and artistic eye ensure that the results of breast augmentation are harmonious with your natural proportions, enhancing your confidence and body image. Her commitment to patient satisfaction and safety is paramount, making her a trusted choice for breast augmentation.
During your consultation, Dr. Waithaka will discuss the benefits of each type and what is ideal for you.
