Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation - Enhance Size & Shape

Breast augmentation (augmentation mammoplasty) enhances breast size, improves symmetry, and restores volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss using FDA-approved silicone or saline implants. This is consistently the most popular cosmetic surgery worldwide, with 300,000+ procedures performed annually in the US alone.

We use only premium implants (Mentor, Motiva, Allergan) with lifetime warranties, and our surgeons tailor every detail - size, shape, placement, incision - to your unique body proportions and aesthetic goals.

Why Women Choose Breast Augmentation

  • Small Breasts: Want larger, fuller bust
  • Asymmetry: One breast smaller than other
  • Post-Pregnancy Volume Loss: Breastfeeding deflated breasts
  • Weight Loss Deflation: Lost breast fullness after losing weight
  • Confidence: Feel more feminine, proportionate, attractive

Implant Choices: The 4 Key Decisions

1. Silicone vs Saline

Silicone (Most Popular)

  • ✓ Feels more natural (like real breast tissue)
  • ✓ Less rippling visible
  • ✓ Available in cohesive gel ("gummy bear")
  • • Requires MRI every 2-3 years to check for silent rupture

Saline

  • ✓ If rupture, body absorbs saline harmlessly
  • ✓ Smaller incision (filled after insertion)
  • • Feels less natural, more firm
  • • Higher rippling risk (especially thin patients)

2. Round vs Teardrop (Anatomical)

Round: More fullness in upper breast (cleavage emphasis). Cannot rotate out of position. Most popular choice (90% of patients).

Teardrop: More volume in lower breast (natural slope). Can rotate and look unnatural. Best for very athletic/thin patients seeking subtle enhancement.

3. Size Selection

Size measured in cubic centimeters (cc), NOT cup sizes (varies by brand). Range 200cc-800cc.

  • Small/Natural: 200-350cc (adds 1 cup size)
  • Medium/Balanced: 350-500cc (adds 1.5-2 cup sizes) - most popular
  • Large/Statement: 500-800cc (adds 2-3 cup sizes)

Try Before: We provide sizers (rice-filled implants) to wear in bra at home to visualize size before surgery

4. Profile (Projection)

Low Profile: Wide base, minimal forward projection (natural athletic look)

Moderate Profile: Balanced width and projection (most versatile)

High Profile: Narrow base, maximum forward projection (dramatic cleavage, best for narrow chest)

Implant Placement Options

Submuscular (Under Muscle)

  • ✓ Most natural look (muscle covers implant upper edge)
  • ✓ Less visible rippling
  • ✓ Lower capsular contracture risk
  • ✓ Better mammogram accuracy
  • • More painful recovery (muscle manipulation)
  • • Implant may move with chest flexing

Subglandular (Over Muscle)

  • • Easier surgery, faster recovery
  • • Better for bodybuilders (no movement with flexing)
  • • Implant sits in natural position
  • • More visible rippling (thin patients)
  • • Higher capsular contracture risk
  • • Can interfere with mamm ograms

Incision Options

Inframammary (Under Breast Crease) - Most Popular

4-5cm scar hidden in natural fold. Best access for precise placement. Our #1 recommended approach.

Periareolar (Around Nipple)

Scar blends with areola edge. Good for simultaneous lift. Risk: slight nipple sensation changes.

Transaxillary (Armpit)

No breast scars. Limited access for adjustments. Requires endoscope. Higher revision rate.

Recovery Timeline

Day 1-3

Surgical bra on 24/7. Moderate pain (feels like chest muscle strain). Breasts swollen, sitting high on chest. Pain controlled with medication.

Week 1

Pain 50% improved. Can return to desk work day 5-7. Avoid lifting >10lbs. Breasts still swollen and high ("boob greed" phase - look too big, will settle).

Week 2-4

Implants begin "dropping" (settling into lower breast pocket). Swelling decreasing. Wear sports bra. Light cardio allowed.

Week 6-8

Resume all exercise including chest workouts. Wear underwire bras. Breasts softening as swelling resolves.

Month 3-6

Final Result: Im plants fully settled in correct position. Soft, natural feel. Scars fading to thin lines.

Important: Implants Are Not Lifetime Devices

While modern implants have lifetime manufacturer warranties, expect eventual replacement:

  • Average lifespan: 10-20 years before replacement needed
  • Reasons for replacement: Rupture, capsular contracture, size change desire, normal wear
  • 20-30% of patients need revision surgery within 10 years
  • Warranty covers implant replacement (manufacturing defect), NOT surgery costs
