With expert care and advanced techniques, we’ll guide you through every step of your transformation journey.

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. Using implants or fat transfer, our experienced surgeons increase breast volume, improve symmetry, and create a natural, appealing look. This procedure is perfect for those seeking to enhance their curves and boost their confidence.

Ideal candidates for breast augmentation are women in good health, have fully developed breasts, and seek to improve breast size or shape. Whether you’re looking to restore breast volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss, or you simply want to enhance your natural curves, breast augmentation can help you achieve your goals.

Procedure Overview

The breast augmentation procedure typically takes one to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Your surgeon will make an incision, usually in the crease under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit. Through this incision, the surgeon will insert the implant, either beneath the breast tissue or under the chest muscle, depending on the desired outcome and your anatomy. The incisions are then closed with sutures, and you will be placed in a supportive garment to aid recovery.

Risks and Complications

Breast implants carry a range of risks and complications, some of which may occur immediately after surgery, while others may develop over time. Common issues include:

  • Pain: Often in the nipple or breast area, usually occurring immediately after surgery.
  • Nipple/Breast Sensation Changes: Numbness, increased sensitivity, or loss of sensation in the nipple and breast can occur, possibly affecting breastfeeding and sexual response.
  • Infection: Ranges from mild to serious and can develop anytime after surgery, requiring possible removal of the implant if antibiotics are ineffective.
  • Capsular Contracture: Scar tissue forms around the implant, causing the breast to harden and distort.
  • Implant Rupture: Saline implants can deflate, while silicone implants may rupture silently, potentially leading to silicone spread and the formation of granulomas.
  • Asymmetry: Breasts may appear uneven in size, shape, or level.
  • Implant Position Issues: The implant may be improperly positioned, either during surgery or afterward due to movement or shifting.
  • Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL): A rare immune system cancer linked to breast implants, particularly textured ones.
  • Blood Clots: Longer procedures increase the risk of clots forming in veins deep in the body.
  • Breast Tissue Atrophy: The skin around the implant may thin and shrink over time.
  • Calcification: Hard lumps may form around the implant, which can be mistaken for cancer during mammography.
  • Necrosis: Dead skin or tissue around the breast, potentially caused by infection, smoking, or radiation.
  • Wrinkling/Rippling: Visible wrinkles or folds may appear on the skin over the implant.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from breast augmentation varies depending on factors like implant size, type, and placement, as well as the surgeon’s skill. On average, full recovery takes about four to six weeks. During this period, avoid physical activity, heavy lifting, and overexertion to ensure proper healing.

What to Expect After Breast Augmentation

24 Hours Post-Op:
After surgery, expect soreness, fatigue, nausea, chest tightness, and sensitivity changes in your breasts. Swelling and bruising are also common but will fade over time. You’ll rest in a postoperative room until the anesthesia wears off, and a trusted person should drive you home. Extreme pain and discomfort may occur during the first 24 hours; take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed, and your doctor may prescribe additional medications.

5 to 7 Days Post-Op:
By the end of the first week, pain should lessen, but mild discomfort may persist. You may return to normal activities if your surgeon approves, but avoid strenuous activities like lifting your arms above your head. Your breast implants will begin to settle, so follow any post-op instructions, such as massaging the breast tissue to reduce swelling.

3 to 4 Weeks Post-Op:
At this stage, pain and discomfort should be minimal. Swelling and bruising will have significantly reduced, though some bruising may linger depending on your surgery type. Your doctor may suggest light exercises but avoid strenuous activities. Continue wearing a post-surgical bra or front-closure bras to support healing.

4 to 6 Weeks Post-Op:
Most patients are fully recovered by this time and can resume regular activities. Your breasts should appear and feel more natural. Schedule a follow-up appointment with your surgeon for a full evaluation of the breast implants.
