What is breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation increases breast volume and fullness using silicone implants, tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic goals. It can also address asymmetry between the breasts.
Implant options
Implants vary by content (silicone gel/saline), shape (round/anatomical), and surface (smooth/textured). The selection is personalized based on your desired outcome, tissue thickness, chest measurements, and surgical plan.
Placement options
Implants can be placed above the muscle (subglandular), below the muscle (submuscular), or in a dual plane position. The best option depends on your tissue thickness, activity level, and desired upper fullness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Typically 1-2 hours under general anesthesia.
A compression garment is worn for the first week. Light activities resume in 1-2 weeks, exercise at 4-6 weeks.
Modern implants don't have an expiration date, but monitoring and possible replacement over time is recommended.
No. Modern imaging effectively screens breasts with implants. Simply inform the mammography technician about your implants so additional views can be taken.
The body naturally forms a capsule around any implant. Capsular contracture occurs when this capsule excessively thickens and hardens. It's uncommon with modern implants and techniques.
In most cases, yes. Breastfeeding channels are preserved in most techniques. However, guarantees cannot be given. Inform your surgeon if you plan to breastfeed.
Size is determined by chest wall measurements, existing tissue, skin elasticity, and your goals. Sizers during consultation help visualize different options.
Light walking from week 1, upper body exercises at 4-6 weeks, intense sports at 6-8 weeks. A sports bra is recommended.
Modern implants have no expiration date. Replacement is only needed if a problem occurs. Regular monitoring is recommended.
Modern silicone gel implants feel very similar to natural breast tissue, especially with adequate tissue coverage and proper placement.
Over the muscle (subglandular) offers faster recovery; under the muscle (submuscular) provides better coverage for thin patients. Dual plane combines benefits of both.
