I’m originally from upstate New York and from an area where we wear lots of clothing and layers because it’s very cold probably eight months out of the year. But in that time when I was living in upstate New York, I was always a little self-conscious about my chest and that it was small. But because we weren’t exposing yourself many months out of the year, it was something that I could easily avoid. Two years ago, I moved to Sarasota, Florida, and I’m boating all the time, wearing bikinis, and on the beach, and it’s a much more fun lifestyle. But I was always self-conscious in going out with friends and going to clubs and going to the beach because of my chest size is always so much smaller, and I’m constantly looking around and comparing myself to the other girls.

So, since moving to Florida, I was really self-conscious about my chest size and had given a lot of thought to breast augmentation. And about maybe six months ago, I started researching the other surgeons in the area. I wanted to stay local in Sarasota and have my procedure done in the city because I didn’t want to have to travel all the way to Tampa or to the east coast of Florida if any complications arose. I wanted to make sure I was home in my comfort zone.

And then I did a lot of research on the internet and came across Doctor Sessa and had a consultation with him and Chris. That consultation lasted probably close to two hours, and they really made me feel extremely comfortable in my decision, and they spent a long time just trying to figure out what size that I should be. And I think that is every girl’s biggest concern; they don’t want to be too big, they don’t want to be too small because what was the point of the surgery? That was always my biggest stress. And I had visited approximately four other offices and no doctor’s office had ever given me that much time in an initial consultation. No one had worked with me at length that Doctor Sessa had over the size and the procedure and all my questions and concerns. I felt extremely comfortable working with him and his staff. And it was a very easy decision to make at that point. I was comfortable in who I was working with and I think I signed up for the surgery two weeks after that initial consultation. I was that comfortable with his office.

What I also liked the most about Doctor Sessa’s office was that the surgery would occur right here at the office. They have their own operation room. And I did not like the fact of going to a hospital to have the procedure done. That made me really nervous. I had never had any operations previous. So, I really liked the fact that you’re in a small surgery center, right here in the office.

I had my surgery November 2nd in the morning, and I had never had surgery before, so I was extremely nervous about the feelings I would be going through and the whole experience. Never been under anesthesia before. I just never had been that vulnerable in my life, so I was very nervous going into the surgery. But as soon as I came to the office and I sat down with the anesthesiologist and the other nurses, I was put at ease immediately. They’re just such wonderful people. I still think about my experience having the surgery and the nurses, I’m just always touched by how kind and compassionate they were to me through the whole experience.

There are Different Types of Breast Surgery – Saline or Silicone? Ask Dr Sessa in Sarasota FL.


Most of my patients come in, and one of their biggest questions is should I have saline? Should I have silicone? However, with the age of the internet, most women that are looking at getting breast implants already have read about it. They understand the pros and the cons of silicone versus saline. A lot of my patients choose saline, number one, because financially, it’s cheaper. But number two, because they like the fact that it’s filled with saltwater. This is an example of one of these implants, and you could see that you’re not gonna have all bubbles inside of it. These implants are devoid of bubbles when they’re filled, so you’re not going to hear, like I just drank a big glass of water, and you’re going to hear blub, blub, blub in your stomach. You’re not going to hear that. But saline is still very, very natural, and I tell my patients it’s a great choice.

Whether you’re looking at saline versus silicone, saline is still an excellent choice, and it’s very, very safe. The way that I place my implants, I usually place them underneath the muscle. And the one thing that we do have to watch out for, though, and very, very thin people, sometimes you can see the outline of these implants. And we really want to try to avoid that. So, one of the things that we could do to protect that and protect against things like rippling, like here, you could barely see some rippling here on the sides. We want to avoid that, because that really tells everybody, these are fake. We want– I pride myself in doing very natural-appearing implants, and most of my patients come to me because of that. Because they say, Doctor Sessa, your patients look really natural. One of the things that I really abide by is, you really have to overfill these implants slightly.

So, let’s say you’re looking at a 375cc implant that you tried on that you really like the look of. So, more than likely, we’ll probably fit you with like a 330cc implant. And then we overfill it, so if we give you a 330cc implant, and let’s say you look at this implant, it’s sort of flacid a little bit. What we want to do is to make sure that we don’t have any of these ripples. We overfill it, so if we push it out a little bit and overfill it, you could see that those ripples just disappear. And that’s what we really want to do. We
want to overfill it a little bit, stretch the casing of the implant a little bit. This way, those ripples will just disappear, and it will be nice and smooth at the edge.

Saline initially, may feel slightly more tense than silicone. But as time goes on and the skin stretches and acclimates to the new size, it feels very, very natural. And most of my patients, they love it.

How Do I Choose Breast Implant Size? Let Sarasota Surgical Arts Give You a Free Consultation – Sarasota FL


One of the first things that happens when you come in for your consultation is, I take measurements, because everyone is different. And the implants that you’re gonna choose, this isn’t one size fits all. There’s varying different sizes of implants. Different shapes in both width and height, projection, there’s lots of different things that really work, and that’s sort of the art in choosing an implant. There’s not just, I want larger breasts, so you come on in, and we you know put in the generic implant.

So, the first thing that we do is, I take measurements. Of course, we go over your history, make sure that you’re healthy for this procedure. I usually make the recommendation of getting a mammogram if you’ve never had one. It’s just a good rule of thumb in terms of getting implants and moving forward. But once we get past all those small little hurdles, and we take the measurements, one of the greatest things that I do is, I take measurements of your width. The width of your breast.

Now, everyone’s breast width is different, and that’s why there are different sizes. So, once I take measurements of where your nipple is situated and the width of your breast, once I do those two things, then I will make some sort of general recommendations. I’ll ask you what size you are now, what cup size you are now and what cup size would you like to go to. You want to look busty or do you want to look natural? Are you athletic? There’s lots of different things and reasons behind choosing an implant. It’s not just, I want to be larger. Because you will be larger. A breast implant will make your whole breast larger in all dimensions. But most women nowadays want to look natural. And there’s a lot of choices to be had.

This is an example of a 300cc implant. Okay. This is a high-profile implant. There’s different types of implants that are, it’s very important to choose. I particularly like the high-profile implant because if you look at it from the side, you could see that it’s sort of cone shaped. And this is gonna give you the most amount of projection with the smallest implant. And here’s another example. This is a 375cc high profile implant, and this implant, if you put these side by side, you could see that the projection isn’t gonna be very different. However, this 375cc implant is slightly wider. Then we have another type of implant, this is, again, this is 375. And these are the pair of implants.
