Each implant and surgical option will be chosen based on the patient's individual needs. Enlarge Video View All Videos
Breast augmentation, one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedures in the United States, adds size to small breasts, balances asymmetrical breasts, and fills out breasts that have lost volume due to pregnancy or substantial weight loss. Dr. David Passaretti performs breast augmentation surgery for patients throughout Fairfield County and Connecticut. Because of the depth of his experience with breast surgery, he is able to produce consistently high-quality results that help patients look and feel confident.

Suitable candidates for breast augmentation are over the age of 18 and in generally good health, physically and mentally. It is important for candidates to have realistic expectations of the procedure and not feel pressured into the surgery by anyone else. Dr. Passaretti works with every patient individually to understand their specific goals and needs regarding the procedure. As a knowledgeable cosmetic surgeon, he can answer all questions and best determine whether you are a good candidate for breast augmentation during a personal consultation at our practice.
Breast Augmentation Surgery
Your particular breast augmentation procedure will be based on a treatment plan you develop with Dr. Passaretti. This plan outlines the type of implant used, incision location, and method of placement. Depending on Dr. Passaretti’s advisement, the incision may be made in the lower crease of the breast, the areola, the belly button, or the armpit. The implant itself is placed under either the breast tissue or the breast muscle. Dr. Passaretti’s experience and surgical training, as well as the patient’s anatomy and preferences, contribute significantly to these decisions.
Types of Breast Implants

Choosing the right type of breast implants is important. Both saline and silicone breast implants are offered at our Fairfield County, Connecticut office and we can help you select the one best suited for your goals. Enlarge Video View All Videos
Each type of breast implant presents its own set of risks and benefits. The type of breast implant used is based on a combination of the patient’s preferences, her aesthetic goals, and Dr. Passaretti’s expert opinion. Saline implants are filled with a saltwater solution and can be customized in both shape and size to meet the patient’s specifications. Saline implants are very safe; in the rare event that the implant ruptures or leaks, the body can easily absorb the saline. Silicone implants are filled with silicone gel that closely mimics breast tissue, making silicone implants look and feel extremely natural.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation can dramatically improve the way women feel about the size and shape of their breasts. Implants can produce virtually any result that a patient desires- as they come in a variety of shapes and sizes, the possibilities are vast. This highly individualized procedure allows patients to achieve their personal cosmetic goals. Because of Dr. Passaretti’s expertise, post-procedural scarring is minimal and usually in an inconspicuous location. Patients are able to breast feed, maintain normal nipple sensitivity, and have regular mammograms. Implants typically last for many years.
