1. Breast augmentation with Implants

     - With areolar widening and VASER breast defining liposuction 

Dr. Stanwix MD, FACS performs MTF breast augmentation almost always with silicone implants.  The best news...you decide which size you would like to be!  Its an exciting process during your consultation where you try on various sizes and determine which fits your body best.  Sometimes saline implants are temporality placed for a two staged procedure if the size you would like is larger than which can be accomplished in one stage. Also, Dr. Stanwix may recommend a shaped silicone implant, and is the only one in Richmond VA to be extensively trained and an expert with it.

               Before                    After                    

Surgery involves a 1.5-2 hour operation in which Dr. Stanwix places the implant in either the periareolar incision or underneath the breast fold.  Its minimally invasive and involves state of the art VASER liposuction to define the breast and create the right shape and contour to fit your desire.  At the same time, Dr. Stanwix will enlarge your areola if needed. Its performed as an outpatient surgery with minimal downtime.

Care around surgery

Dr. Stanwix meets with all his MTF patients in at least two consultations to go over the surgical details and the postoperative care. Here, Dr. Stanwix will let you know which medicines not to take before surgery (such as ibuprofen, aspirin, etc) and what to expect from surgery. After surgery care is important. Dr. Stanwix will place you in a compression bra and likely a surgical drain. He uses skin glue and advanced techniques such that you can shower the next day, and your drains only stay a handful of days. Depending on which type of MTF surgery you had, he will have you back into most activities within 2 weeks or so.
