Patients considering breast augmentation surgery are often intimidated by the process of selecting the size of the breast implants. At our Chicago and Winnetka offices we make this process simple with our photo database, anatomical sizers, that properly demonstrate the effect of implants, and Dr Cook’s extensive experience in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery.
Many of my patients who undergo breast augmentation surgery are athletes. The majority tolerate breast implants in the plane underneath the pectoral muscle without any apparent effect on athletic performance.
Breast Augmentation in athletes is more common than one might think. Many of our patients in Chicago are athletes, and they want to know more about breast augmentation surgery.
The base of the breast is important in breast implant surgery because this will provide you with important information to help you to select an implant that is in harmony with your natural breast structure.
Patients at the Whole Beauty® Institute have a strong preference for silicone gel implants over saline breast implants. In a recent review of our data from the last 2 years we found that 87% of our patients selected silicone gel implants for their breast surgeries performed by Dr. John Q. Cook.
Breast augmentation patients need to choose the location of the breast implant: subglandular – under the breast, or submuscular – under the pectoral muscle.
