Breast augmentation surgery is an option for women who wish to increase breast volume, refine breast shape or restore fullness after pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss. At Dr David Cong’s practice, breast augmentation is designed to provide a premium aesthetic experience, combining modern surgical techniques with a strong professional foundation and meticulous attention to detail.
With in-depth knowledge of anatomy and formal training in plastic and aesthetic surgery, Dr David Cong focuses on developing a surgical plan tailored to each patient. This includes selecting the appropriate breast implants, size and surgical technique to achieve fuller, well-proportioned breasts that complement the overall body shape.
What Is Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a procedure that uses breast implants to increase breast volume and adjust breast shape. It may be considered by women with naturally small breasts, limited fullness or changes in breast shape following pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss.
At Dr David Cong’s practice, the breast augmentation consultation begins with an assessment of the current breast size and shape, skin elasticity, existing breast tissue, body proportions and aesthetic goals. Based on the examination, the surgeon discusses suitable implant types, sizes, shapes, placement options and incision locations for each patient.
Beyond increasing breast size, the surgical plan also focuses on achieving balance between the breasts and harmony with the overall figure. For patients with breast sagging or noticeable differences in breast shape, Dr David Cong will assess whether breast augmentation alone is suitable or whether a combined procedure may need to be considered.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation Surgery with Dr David Cong
Dr David Cong focuses on the following factors when providing consultations and developing a surgical plan.
- Increasing breast volume and refining breast shape
Breast implants can increase breast size, restore fullness and adjust the breast contours according to the patient’s aesthetic goals. Implant size is selected with consideration of body measurements, existing breast tissue and the desired outcome.
- Creating better balance between the breasts and body shape
Choosing implants with a suitable size and shape can help the breasts appear more proportionate to the shoulders, chest and overall body frame. Dr David Cong discusses the available options with each patient before agreeing on a surgical plan.
- Restoring breast fullness after pregnancy or weight loss
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and significant weight loss can affect breast volume and shape. Breast augmentation may be considered to restore lost volume. If breast sagging is also present, an assessment is necessary to determine the most appropriate approach.
- Selecting implants according to individual needs
Breast implants are available in various sizes and shapes. Dr David Cong assesses the breast structure, thickness of the surrounding tissue and the patient’s preferences before recommending suitable options. The potential benefits and risks of each option are also explained.
- Focusing on surgical technique and procedure standards
Every stage of preparation and surgery must follow professional medical requirements, including infection prevention and surgical safety protocols. The surgical plan is developed based on a pre-operative examination and assessment of the patient’s health.
Who Is Breast Augmentation Suitable For?
Breast augmentation may be suitable for adult women who wish to adjust their breast size or shape. However, the appropriate approach depends on each patient’s individual condition and the results of a medical assessment.
You may wish to consider a breast augmentation consultation with Dr David Cong if you fall into one of the following categories:
- Naturally small breasts: Your breast size is smaller than you would prefer or appears disproportionate to your body frame.
- Limited breast fullness: Your breasts have relatively little volume, particularly in the upper portion, and you are not satisfied with their current shape.
- Changes after pregnancy and breastfeeding: Your breasts have lost volume or changed shape following pregnancy.
- Reduced breast volume after weight loss: Changes in body weight have resulted in reduced breast tissue volume and fullness.
- Uneven breasts: There is a noticeable difference in the size or shape of your breasts that requires assessment.
- A desire to refine body proportions: You would like fuller breasts that are more proportionate to your overall figure.
Important considerations
Breast augmentation must not be performed during pregnancy. Patients whose health is unsuitable for surgery or who have uncontrolled medical conditions may need to postpone the procedure until they meet the relevant medical requirements.
For women who have recently given birth, the timing of breast augmentation should take into account recovery after childbirth, breastfeeding status and the results of a pre-operative health assessment.
The Breast Augmentation Procedure at Dr David Cong’s Practice
The breast augmentation process is organised into several stages, from the initial consultation to post-operative follow-up. All clinical procedures must comply with current Vietnamese Ministry of Health regulations and be performed at a facility authorised to carry out the surgery.
1. Consultation and Assessment
Dr David Cong assesses breast shape and size, breast tissue characteristics, skin elasticity and overall body proportions. He also discusses the patient’s aesthetic goals to recommend suitable implant types, sizes, placement options and incision locations.
During the consultation, patients are informed about the limitations of the procedure, expected outcomes, potential risks and important considerations before making a decision about surgery.
2. Pre-operative Health Assessment
Patients undergo a medical examination and any necessary tests as directed by the medical team. The surgeon reviews their medical history, current medications and any factors that could affect the procedure or recovery.
This is an important step in determining whether the patient is medically suitable for surgery and ensuring the medical team can prepare an appropriate surgical plan.
3. Breast Augmentation Surgery
Once the necessary preparations are complete, the surgeon takes measurements and marks the planned surgical sites. The procedure involves antiseptic preparation, anaesthesia as prescribed, creation of the implant pocket and placement of the breast implants in the selected position.
The surgeon checks the shape and symmetry of both breasts before closing the incisions using an appropriate surgical technique. The incision location and implant placement method are selected according to the patient’s anatomy and the surgical plan agreed upon during the consultation.
4. Post-operative Monitoring and Care
Following surgery, patients are monitored at the medical facility as directed by the clinical team. The surgeon provides instructions on incision care, the use of a supportive bra if required, prescribed medication and activity restrictions during recovery.
Follow-up appointments are arranged to assess the incision sites, swelling and the settling of the implants.
Post-operative Care After Breast Augmentation with Dr David Cong
- Wearing a supportive bra
Patients may be advised to wear a specialised surgical bra during the initial recovery period. It helps support the breasts while they heal. The recommended duration and correct way to wear the bra should follow the surgeon’s instructions, taking into account the surgical technique and the patient’s condition.
- Following incision care instructions
The incision sites should be kept clean and cared for according to medical instructions. Patients should not apply topical products, change dressings or treat the wounds themselves without appropriate guidance. If unusual redness, swelling, discharge or signs of infection occur, they should contact their medical provider.
- Limiting strenuous activities
During the initial recovery period, patients should avoid heavy lifting, high-intensity exercise and activities that place strain on the chest. The timing of a return to exercise and normal daily activities depends on the patient’s recovery and the surgeon’s advice.
- Attending scheduled follow-up appointments
Follow-up visits allow the surgeon to examine the incision sites, assess swelling and monitor implant position. Patients should attend all scheduled appointments, even if they feel their recovery is progressing well.
- Taking prescribed medication and monitoring health
All post-operative medication should be taken according to the prescribed dosage and schedule. Patients should not stop medication or take additional medicines without first discussing this with their surgeon.
