What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a widely popular cosmetic surgery that uses implants to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breasts. It involves adding a silicone or saline implant beneath the breast’s tissue or muscle to improve the breast profile.

Whether you aim to attain more symmetrical or balanced breasts or enhance your curves in swimwear or everyday clothing, breast augmentation can dramatically improve your bustline.

How Is Breast Augmentation Performed?

Breast augmentation is performed as an outpatient procedure, usually using general anesthesia or IV sedation for your safety, comfort, and convenience. This procedure usually takes between one and two hours.

Breast Implant Options

Breast implants are highly customizable and available in many sizes, shapes, and filling materials. You will choose from the following options:

Silicone implants (silicone shell filled with cohesive silicone gel)
Saline implants (silicone shell filled with sterile saline)

Breast Augmentation Incisions

Breast augmentation involves making small incisions in inconspicuous areas on the breast to minimize scarring. There are three possible incision techniques, namely:

Periareolar (along the lower half of the areola)
Inframammary (below the curve of the breast)
Transaxillary (the fold of the underarm)

Your incision and placement options depend on several factors, including anatomical indicators, breast implants, and unique needs.

Breast Augmentation Placement

After the incision, a pocket is created to insert the breast implant for augmentation. This pocket will be made in one of the following locations.

Submuscular/ subpectoral (beneath the breast tissue and muscle)
Subglandular (beneath the breast tissue but above the muscle)

While every patient is unique and benefits from a personalized approach, Dr. Tolomeo usually prefers silicone implants placed in the subpectoral position with the inframammary fold incision. This combination tends to provide very natural-looking results and allows for a variety of implant sizes.

Can Breast Augmentation Be Combined With Other Cosmetic Surgeries?

Breast augmentation is commonly performed alongside a breast lift for women who desire larger breasts but also experience moderate to significant breast ptosis (sagging). A breast lift with augmentation is often selected following pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Alternatively, breast augmentation can be performed alongside body contouring procedures like tummy tuck surgery and high-def liposuction. This combination is often referred to as a Mommy Makeover.

What Is Breast Augmentation Recovery Like?

Although recovery time is required following breast augmentation surgery, it won’t be long before you start feeling like yourself again.

During the initial 24 to 48 hours, you can expect to feel moderate pain, soreness, sensitivity, and tightness in the breasts. These are typical side effects of the surgery that can be managed effectively with prescription and over-the-counter medications.

By the end of the first week, you’ll experience mild discomfort, and your implants will start to settle into position. Any swelling, sensitivity, and bruising will diminish over the next few weeks, and results will continue to improve even further as healing progresses.

You can resume your regular, non-strenuous routines about five to seven days after the procedure, and many patients fully recover within four to six weeks. Still, it’s essential to restrain from heavy lifting or strenuous work that could compromise your healing journey and results.

For optimal results and minimal post-operative risks, patients are advised to follow all post-operative instructions and attend the recommended follow-up appointments. For more information on recovery, read our blog How to Prepare for Breast Augmentation Recovery.

What Results Can I Expect From a Breast Augmentation Procedure?

Breast augmentation often produces a fuller and more youthful breast appearance that elevates your body contours. Besides the obvious physical benefits, many patients report feeling more confident, making them feel more comfortable and at ease with their femininity.

Your breast augmentation results may not be permanent, but they can provide you with many years of improved self-esteem and satisfaction.
