Breast augmentation (augmentation mammoplasty) is a cosmetic surgery procedure that enhances breast size and shape using implants. This popular treatment helps patients achieve:
✔ Improved breast volume and fullness
✔ Better breast symmetry
✔ Restored shape after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging
Types of Breast Implants
Patients can choose between two main implant types:
Silicone Gel Implants – Natural look and feel
Saline Implants – Adjustable size, firmer feel
Surgical Technique & Placement
The procedure involves:
Implant Placement (under or over the chest muscle)
Incision Options:
Inframammary (under breast fold)
Periareolar (around the nipple)
Transaxillary (through the armpit)
Ideal Candidates
Breast augmentation may be right for you if you:
Desire fuller, more proportionate breasts
Have lost volume due to pregnancy or weight changes
Seek improved body confidence
Recovery & Results
Initial Recovery: 5–7 days (light activities)
Full Recovery: 4–6 weeks (avoid heavy lifting)
Final Results: Visible after 3–6 months (once swelling subsides)
Why Choose a Board-Certified Surgeon?
✅ Natural-looking, symmetrical results
✅ Reduced risk of complications
✅ Personalized surgical plan
Potential Risks
While generally safe, possible risks include:
Capsular contracture (scar tissue tightening)
Implant rupture or leakage
