My Philosophy
Located in Portland OR, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Marcus Melvin, utilizes the latest surgical techniques in his practice of Breast Augmentation, Breast Implants, and Breast Enhancement surgery!
Dr Melvin is a board certified plastic surgeon with the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and has been in solo practice in the Portland area for over 20 years. He performs his surgery as an outpatient both at Providence St Vincent hospital and the Center for Specialty Surgery.
Plastic surgery has progressed to the level of being able to offer you what you want. When you come in for a consultation, we will discuss the end result you desire, and I will present the options of which operations would be suitable.
Women are entitled to have their breasts the way they want them – not just according to the dictates of their surgeon. So remember in your interview with your surgeon to be as clear as you can as to what your expectations are from your surgery. But be careful- there are two very big and important warnings: the way you are limits the way you can be; and make sure you really do want what you are asking for!
By this I mean that the end result of surgery is very much dependent on how you are now; such as how much soft tissue you have, not just how much breast tissue, but more importantly how skinny you are. This is one time it pays to be a little overweight! The more you have to cover the breast implant, the less you will see and feel the implant. The other thing is that the bigger you ask for, the more evident the implant will be; so the smaller the implant, the more natural you will be.
At your consultation I will ask you to decide on many important decisions- such as what type of prosthesis you want- saline or silicone gel- where you will want the incision, where you want the implant placed, and what size implant you want. I will help you with each of these decisions and give you my advice.
Just know that so many thousands of women have this operation and have a result where no one can tell that you have been augmented. This operation has to be rated as one of the most satisfying procedures there is, with so may resulting happy patients.
