What Is Breast
Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic surgery used to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. Most commonly, breast augmentation is performed using customized implants, which are typically made with either silicone or saline. In some cases, the procedure can also be performed using a method called fat transfer. This technique involves removing excess fat from another area of the body and injecting it into the breasts.
Our team is proud to deliver beautiful results for women who decide to undergo a breast augmentation in Phoenix. Breast augmentation is more than a surgery — it’s also an art, and we are so happy to have a team of gifted surgeons with artistic eyes to achieve incredible results.
One of the reasons that breast augmentation is one of the world’s most popular cosmetic procedures is that it provides women with the confidence that they’ve been missing out on. Having the breasts you want can have an immensely positive impact on your self-esteem and quality of life, especially for those who have struggled with how they view their breasts for a long time.

Types of Breast Implants

Saline Implants

Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater and are known for providing a smooth and adjustable breast appearance. Because the saline solution can be adjusted during surgery, these implants allow for some flexibility in achieving the desired size and shape. If the implant shell were to leak, the saline solution would be safely absorbed by the body. Many patients appreciate saline implants for their reliable breast appearance and the peace of mind they offer.

Silicone Implants

Silicone breast implants are filled with a thick, gel-like substance that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. These implants tend to have a more natural softness and contour compared to saline implants. Silicone breast implants are a popular choice among patients looking for a fuller yet realistic look and feel, often preferred by those who want their augmentation to blend seamlessly with their body.

Gummy Bear Implants

Gummy bear implants, also known as form-stable implants, maintain their shape even if the outer shell is damaged. These implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel that offers excellent support and a natural appearance. Their unique consistency allows them to provide a firmer, more sculpted look while still feeling soft and natural to the touch. Many patients choose gummy bear implants for their durability and long-lasting, natural appearance.

Consultation &
Preparation for
Surgery

Before your breast augmentation, you will have a consultation with us. This consultation is one of the most important parts of the process because it’s where many details of your procedure will be determined. Your lifestyle will also factor into the type of implants you get. It is very important during your consultation to be clear about any questions, concerns, or medical history. The details of your consultation will include:

Which type of implant will be used
The size and shape of your implants
Where the implant will be placed
How much the procedure will cost
What type of incisions will be used
Where the incisions will be made

Breast Augmentation Procedure: A Step-by-Step Overview

Step 1: Anesthesia

Typically, breast augmentation is performed as an outpatient procedure using general anesthesia. This ensures you’ll be completely comfortable and pain-free throughout the surgery.

Step 2: Incisions

Once you’re asleep, your surgeon will begin by making incisions either along the creases of your breasts, underneath your arms, or around your nipples. The incision location is chosen based on your anatomy and implant type.

Step 3: Implant Pocket Creation

Next, the surgeon creates a pocket to hold the implant. This pocket can be made either directly behind the breast tissue or beneath the pectoral muscle, depending on the desired result and your individual anatomy. The chosen placement helps define the final look and feel of the breasts.

Step 4: Implant Placement

Your surgeon will then take your customized breast implants and carefully insert them through the incisions, placing them either behind the breast tissue or underneath the chest muscles.

Step 5: Incision Closure

Once the implants have been properly positioned, the doctor will close the incisions with sutures and apply bandages. In total, the procedure will take around one to two hours, and you’ll be able to return home a couple of hours after it’s finished.

Add-On Procedure:
Breast Lift

For some breast augmentation patients, a breast lift may be recommended to address drooping breasts and restore a more youthful contour. This procedure raises and reshapes the breast tissue, improving firmness and positioning. Combining a breast lift with breast augmentation can create fuller, perkier breasts that better match your aesthetic goals, especially if sagging is a concern along with volume enhancement.

Recovery After Breast Augmentation Surgery

After your breast augmentation, you’ll be given a special support bra to wear and detailed instructions for the healing process. For the first week of recovery, it will be important to rest frequently, but you’ll want to start taking light walks as soon as you feel up to it. Most patients are able to return to work and resume their normal routines approximately one to two weeks after the procedure. However, it’s best to avoid strenuous physical activity for at least four to six weeks.

When to Expect My Breast Augmentation Results?

While some initial changes will be visible soon after your surgery, the final results of your breast augmentation will gradually become apparent as swelling and bruising subside. It can take up to 6 months for the breasts to settle into their new shape and position. Because plastic surgery involves healing at both the tissue and skin levels, patience during this recovery phase is essential. By following your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions, you’ll help ensure the best possible outcome and enjoy your enhanced breast appearance with confidence.

Breast Augmentation
Candidates

Breast augmentation is an excellent option for individuals looking to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of their breasts. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have fully developed breasts, and maintain realistic expectations about the procedure and its results. Those considering surgery should not be pregnant or breastfeeding and must either be non-smokers or willing to abstain temporarily to support proper healing.
In addition to aesthetic enhancement, breast augmentation can help restore breast volume lost due to weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or aging. Patients should understand the surgical process, including incision placement, implant selection, and recovery expectations. Proper preparation, such as maintaining a stable weight and following pre-surgical guidelines, can help optimize results.
A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to determine candidacy. During this process, the surgeon will assess anatomy, discuss aesthetic goals, and recommend the most suitable implant type and surgical approach for achieving natural, balanced, and long-lasting results.

Breast Augmentation FAQs

Can breast augmentation improve my posture?

While breast augmentation is primarily a cosmetic procedure, some women report feeling more balanced and confident in their posture after surgery. However, breast augmentation is not specifically designed to correct posture issues. If posture improvement is a goal, it’s best to discuss this with your surgeon, who may suggest other approaches, such as physical therapy or exercises to strengthen back and core muscles.

How does breast augmentation impact mammograms?

Breast implants can make mammogram imaging slightly more challenging. However, experienced technicians can use special techniques called ‘implant displacement views’ to ensure the breast tissue is adequately examined. It’s important to inform your technician that you have implants before the mammogram. Regular mammograms should continue as part of routine health care, and your doctor will guide you on the best approach.

Can I combine breast augmentation with other procedures?

Yes, breast augmentation can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as a breast lift, tummy tuck, or liposuction, often referred to as a ‘mommy makeover.’ Combining procedures can save time and optimize results. However, it’s essential to ensure that your health allows for multiple procedures at once. Your surgeon will assess your overall health and recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your goals. Pseudo-gynecomastia refers to a condition where the chest is enlarged due to excess fat rather than glandular tissue. It is not caused by a hormonal imbalance. Pseudo-gynecomastia may respond well to weight loss, liposuction, or skin tightening treatments, depending on the severity.

What is the risk of implant rupture?

Implant rupture is rare but can occur. Regular check-ups help monitor implant condition, and ruptures are typically easy to address with a replacement.

Why do some patients want breast implant removal a few years after augmentation surgery?

Some patients choose breast implant removal due to complications such as capsular contracture, which occurs when scar tissue tightens around the implant, causing discomfort or changes in breast shape. Others may experience visible implant edges that affect the appearance they desire. In these cases, a breast revision surgery can address these concerns. Our experienced surgeons can handle various plastic surgery needs and manage all complications effectively.

Is the actual procedure painful?

Most patients find that breast procedures involve some discomfort, but excessive pain is uncommon. Pain management techniques and anesthesia ensure that the surgery is as comfortable as possible. Post-operative soreness typically improves within a few days as healing progresses.

How is fat transfer breast augmentation performed?

Breast surgery using fat transfer involves taking the patient’s own tissue from areas with excess fat, such as the abdomen or thighs, through liposuction. This natural breast tissue is then carefully purified and injected into the breasts. Many women appreciate this method as it enhances their breasts using their own tissue, preserving nipple sensation and improving overall body shape with a more natural look and feel.

Why is breast augmentation often performed after breast cancer treatment?

After breast cancer treatment, breast reconstruction surgery often uses saline or silicone gel breast implants to restore breast volume and shape. This approach helps many patients regain their confidence and feel whole again after their treatment journey.

Can breast augmentation accomplish all of my aesthetic goals?

While breast augmentation is a highly effective breast enhancement technique, achieving your desired breast size and shape depends on many factors, including your anatomy and skin quality. Discussing your goals openly with your surgeon ensures that your aesthetic surgery plan is realistic and tailored to your expectations.

Can I combine breast augmentation with non-surgical treatments?

Yes, many patients choose to combine breast augmentation with non-surgical treatments like skin tightening or fat reduction procedures to enhance overall results and achieve a more harmonious appearance.

Why is it important to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon?

Choosing breast surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery ensures that your provider has met rigorous quality standards. This certification is linked to a reduced risk of complications, access to the latest techniques in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, and the delivery of compassionate care that prioritizes your safety and comfort. Skilled surgeons also take steps to minimize scarring and provide natural-looking results.
