Dr. Zavell and his staff were wonderful every step of the way. Raven and Sara took great care to ensure I was happy and comfortable with every appointment. They answered all of my questions, and addressed any potential concerns I had leading up to and following my surgery. I am 6 weeks past my procedure, and while recovery has been a little intense, it has been well worth the results. I highly recommend Dr. Zavell and his team.

I would highly suggest going to Dr. Zavell

Two Types of Implants
Dr. Zavell can help you decide whether silicone or saline implants are best for you.
Silicone vs. Saline Breast Implants
Women who desire breast augmentation will need to select which type of implants they want. We offer two types of breast implants: saline and silicone. Dr. Zavell will review the pros and cons of saline and silicone implants with you during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
Saline
These implants have a silicone shell and are filled with a saltwater solution. Soft and durable, saline implants are available in round or teardrop shapes. These implants are typically filled once placed in the breast pocket. Therefore, breast augmentation with saline implants requires smaller incisions. If a saline implant ruptures, it is immediately apparent. Should this occur, the saline is simply absorbed into the body.
Silicone
Filled with a silicone gel, these implants offer an incredibly natural look and feel. They are also less prone to rippling than their saline counterparts. Silicone implants are pre-filled, so larger incisions are necessary to place them during augmentation. Implants filled with silicone gel closely resemble a natural breast, but a rupture may not be noticeable right away and is considered to be a higher risk.
A Note on Silicone
/
While the FDA does approve the usage of silicone gel for surgery, it does not recommend that patients under 22 years of age receive silicone implants.
Breast Implant Placement Subglandular vs. Submuscular
Breast implants can be placed over or above the pectoral muscle, depending on your unique needs and preferences.
Allow Us to Evaluate Your Candidacy
Unfortunately, some women read about candidacy and self-disqualify themselves from surgery, when in reality they may be perfectly suited to receive confidence-boosting augmentation. Call (740) 628-0185 to request a consultation so Dr. Zavell can help you explore the possibilities.

What Are the Risks of Breast Augmentation?
Like any plastic surgery procedure, breast augmentation is associated with certain risks such as bleeding, infection, and allergic reaction. In addition, patients could develop capsular contracture, a condition in which the scar tissue around the implant tightens and hardens.
By choosing an experienced, board-certified surgeon like Dr. Zavell, you greatly reduce your chances of suffering complications.
Caring for Your Body and Breast Implants Following Your Surgery
Each patient's recovery timeline will look different depending on the techniques and breast implants that were used. After your breast implant procedure, be sure to follow all instructions given to you by your plastic surgeon. This will help your body heal quickly and allow for optimal breast augmentation results.
In the Days Following Surgery
After your surgery, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort that can be controlled with pain medication prescribed by Dr. Zavell. These symptoms should subside within a few weeks. Be sure to get plenty of rest for a few days and wear the compression garment you were given following your augmentation. Wearing this garment at all times for several weeks after your augmentation can result in an easier healing period and allow your breast implants to settle properly.
One Week After Surgery
Within a few days to a week, many patients feel comfortable resuming light activities and going back to work. Patients can return to work relatively soon as long as their job doesn't require strenuous activity or overhead lifting. Physically demanding occupations will need more healing time. Though a light workout may be manageable, avoid rigorous exercise for several weeks to minimize the risk of bleeding at the surgical site.
One Year After Surgery
Many patients worry about visible scarring. Once your incisions have healed, you may apply a cortisone cream to minimize the appearance of your scars. Additionally, be sure to attend all follow-up appointments to ensure that your breasts are healing properly. Dr. Zavell will continue to give you instructions to help your healing process.
The final results of your breast augmentation won't be apparent for about three to four months. This gives the body enough time to heal and gives your breast implants time to settle into their proper position.

Dr. Zavell performed a secondary breast augmentation on me with use of silicone implants and I’m very satisfied with the outcome! He and his staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable from start to finish. I absolutely recommend Dr. Zavell to anyone in the area looking for plastic surgery or any other related cosmetic need!

Dr. Zavell also removed the excess skin from my arms and performed a breast lift and augmentation. I am absolutely ecstatic with all 4 procedures he has performed on me and would recommend this man to anyone who has a disfiguration from cancer or weight loss. There are no words that I can write to express my gratitude for how he has changed my life forever. Moving forward I can't wait to take some selfies with the kids and put all of this behind me. From day one his staff has been kind and very attentive and caring. I will be forever grateful
View on GooglePairing Implants With a Breast Lift Is a Very Popular Combination
While breast augmentation offers many enormous benefits, implants cannot address severe sagging. On the other hand, a breast lift can raise sagging tissue, remove excess skin, and improve breast symmetry.
Combining the two procedures can deliver an especially pronounced improvement to virtually all areas of your breasts, providing a stunning, transformative change.
