Breast Augmentation Explained
Breast augmentation enhances breast volume through the careful placement of breast implants.
Breast augmentation can be ideal for women who have never liked their curves or who have lost breast volume due to pregnancy, childbirth, or extreme weight fluctuations. The procedure may be done on its own or in conjunction with a breast lift, which repositions the nipple and enhances the shape of the breast.

The Procedure Process Explained
The Initial Consultation
During the first meeting with your surgeon, you will have an opportunity to ask questions and to learn more about treatment options. Your surgeon can also use digital technology to help you visualize what your final breast augmentation results might look like.
What Is Surgery Like?
When you arrive for your breast augmentation procedure, you will be warmly welcomed by members of our patient care team. We will lead you back to a private treatment area where our on-site anesthesiologist will administer sedation. Once you are completely comfortable, your surgeon will carefully make incisions, providing a way to add your breast implants and ensure their proper position.
What Should I Expect in Terms of Recovery?
For most women who get breast augmentation, the recovery period is straightforward and easy. You will need a couple of days to rest, but most patients who have the procedure on a Thursday or Friday feel ready to resume their normal activities by Monday. The exceptions include any activities that involve strenuous exercise or heavy lifting.
Some soreness can be expected following breast augmentation, but these symptoms can be alleviated with over-the-counter medications and the use of compression garments.
How Long Will My Results Last?
While breast implants typically do not last forever, your results can last a long time, assuming you follow your post-operative guidelines carefully and maintain a healthy lifestyle overall.
