Vancouver Breast Augmentation Provider – Dr. Eric Pugash

Breast Augmentation – Overview

Breast augmentation is an operation to enhance the size and shape of the breasts and improve body proportions. The operation can be carried out in women who are naturally small-breasted, as well as those whose breasts have changed as a result of weight loss or childbirth. The goal of breast augmentation surgery is to create a more feminine, proportioned breast. As an accomplished Vancouver breast augmentation surgeon, Dr. Eric Pugash has many years’ experience delivering exceptional breast augmentation results for his patients.

Breast Augmentation with Dr. Pugash

Dr. Pugash is a talented Vancouver breast augmentation surgeon. He offers all currently-used implants, including cohesive silicone gel devices in both round and tear-drop shapes. Please note that Canadian law requires patients to be at least 22 years-old in order to receive silicone gel implants.

Dr. Pugash is also experienced in all the currently used breast augmentation incisions, including the nipple incision and the minimal-incision armpit surgery. By offering patients a variety of implant types and incision placement techniques, Dr. Pugash gives them the freedom of choice regarding their surgical procedures.

Preparing for Breast Augmentation Surgery

As a leading Vancouver breast implants surgeon, Dr. Pugash believes that thorough patient preparation is an important aspect of a successful surgery. He takes into consideration the size and shape of the breasts, the quality of the skin, and the placement of the nipples in helping you plan your procedure. If your breasts appear saggy, Dr. Pugash might recommend a breast lift in conjunction with your breast augmentation.

Individual factors and personal preferences will help you and Dr. Pugash determine your desired breast size. Dr. Pugash will use photographs and implant sizers to help you choose the implant that will give you the best result.

He will also talk to you about placing the implants behind or in front of the chest muscles, and suggest the best choice for you.

The discussion will also cover the type of implant that is best for you. Dr. Pugash has extensive experience with all available implants: saline, cohesive gel, and highly cohesive gel devices (so-called ‘gummy bear’ implants).

Your Breast Augmentation in Vancouver

Dr. Pugash performs breast augmentation on an outpatient basis either at the False Creek Surgery Centre in Vancouver or the Parklane Surgery Centre in Surrey. Patients usually return to non-strenuous activities in seven to ten days, and they can resume exercising two weeks after surgery.

Dr. Pugash will provide complete care following your surgery to ensure that you are comfortable, return to your activities quickly, and obtain the best possible result. He will remain accessible during the recovery period to answer any questions you might have, and to address any concerns. His goal is to make you feel relaxed and completely cared for during the healing period.

Complications and Risks

Although the vast majority of Dr. Pugash’s breast implants Vancouver patients recover quickly and do not experience any complications, various surgical risks cannot be eliminated completely. The potential risks of breast augmentation surgery include reactions to the anesthesia, blood accumulation that may need to be drained surgically, and infection. Changes in nipple or breast sensation may result from breast augmentation surgery. Breast implants might also interfere with the process of mammography, although this is less a problem when the implants are placed behind the muscle.

Patients should also understand that a scar capsule forms around the implant as part of the natural healing process. This capsule may sometimes tighten and compress the implant, causing the breast to feel firmer than normal. Capsular contracture can cause discomfort or changes in the breast’s appearance. In such cases additional surgery may be needed to modify or remove the scar tissue, or to remove or replace the implant.

While the risks inherent in any surgery cannot be eliminated entirely, Dr. Eric Pugash and his medical team minimize them by adhering to the strictest safety protocols. As a result, their Vancouver breast augmentation patients consistently achieve excellent aesthetic results in a safe, speedy manner.
