HOUSTON - Dr. Ciaravino's unique breast augmentation technique is dramatically improving the outcome and reducing the recovery time of the once invasive procedure - prompting a surge in the number of breast augmentation and revision procedures he performs at his Houston facility.

Performing more than six hundred breast augmentation and revision procedures a year, among the highest in the United States, Dr. Ciaravino attributes the success of his procedure to the small incision he uses and the emphasis on a more gentle and precise manner of implant placement - eliminating bruising and greatly reducing postoperative soreness.

"I place a strong emphasis on the patient's experience. I want to make this procedure as smooth and painless as possible. We proactively work towards this by ensuring that the patient is very well-informed and in the best possible health before the procedure. Great care is taken to minimize the trauma surgery can cause to the body," said Dr. Ciaravino.

Dr. Ciaravino, who specializes in cosmetic surgery of the breast, believes a growing number of women in a variety of age groups are seeking breast augmentation today, because of the options available and less invasive nature of the procedure.

According to Dr. Ciaravino, the recent re-introduction of silicone implants now gives women seeking breast augmentation and enhancement more options - and is actually preferable for some body types.

"While the majority of my patients prefer saline implants, which have provided outstanding results for thousands of women, silicone implants may be preferable for very thin women with a small amount of breast tissue," said Dr. Ciaravino.

"It is important to carefully assess the overall health, anatomy, and lifestyle of a patient before selecting the best implant for them. Every patient is unique and they all have a different reason for seeking an enhancement," he added.

A trend Dr. Ciaravino sees in his plastic surgery practice is the desire for a less obvious, more subtle and natural looking enhancement. He has also seen a growing number of women in the forty-something age group, who are staying healthier, living longer and wanting a physical appearance that matches the way they feel.

Dr. Ciaravino is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is a member of some of the most prestigious organizations in his industry. He remains in the forefront by providing his patients with the latest advances in products and techniques in plastic surgery.
