What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the volume, shape, contour, and position of a woman’s breasts by inserting an implant, either silicone or saline, above or below the chest wall muscles. Women seeking this surgery are often looking to increase breast size, restore lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss, or to improve breast shape, contour, and/or position. Breast augmentation may be performed alone or in conjunction with a breast lift (mastopexy) to reduce sagging skin and raise the breasts to a more youthful position on the chest.

Breast implants come in many sizes, types, and profiles, allowing lots of flexibility to personalize the outcome to your physical dimensions and aesthetic preferences. Using innovative Vectra 3D imaging technology, you can see how various implants would look with your exact physical proportions. Our board-certified surgeons work closely with you to design a procedure that elevates your physique beautifully and naturally.

Technical Excellence Meets Inspiration

Your Breast Augmentation Procedure

Incision locations for the breast implant procedure can vary. Possible locations are in the crease under the breast (inframammary), around the areola (periareolar), or in the armpit (transaxillary). The choice of incision site depends on factors like your individual anatomy, the type of implant, and our recommendations for your unique case. Once the incision is made, a pocket is created either behind the breast tissue (subglandular) or beneath the chest muscle (submuscular). The selected breast implants, either saline or silicone, are then carefully inserted into these pockets through the incisions. The incisions may be closed using layered sutures, surgical tape, or skin adhesive to provide the foundation of good healing. The surgery duration typically ranges from one to two hours, although this can vary based on factors like the complexity of the procedure, implant placement, and additional procedures performed simultaneously, such as a breast lift.

Breast Augmentation Results

You will notice a change in the volume and shape of your breasts immediately after surgery, with results continuing to improve as swelling diminishes. It can take a few months for the implants to settle into their optimal position and for the skin to accommodate the implants to sit naturally, a process known as “drop and fluff.” As the implants settle into place, they may improve in both shape and volume. The result is a shapely, full contour that can help many women achieve a more balanced appearance and greater confidence in their feminine beauty. After breast augmentation Pittsburgh patients can see results lasting up to a decade or longer, providing a long lasting enhancement you can enjoy for years to come.

Witness Your Transformation

Breast Augmentation Recovery and Aftercare

Immediately post-surgery, you'll be observed in a recovery area until you are cleared to return home with a friend or family member to drive you. Dressings or a surgical bra might be applied to support the breasts and aid in healing. Resting and avoiding strenuous activities are crucial in the first few days after surgery. Discomfort and soreness are common initially and can be managed with prescribed medications. To facilitate proper healing, strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and certain exercises are restricted for about four to six weeks.

We will check your healing at post-operative visits and provide guidance on incision care to minimize the appearance of scars. You should be able to return to light activity levels within about one week, with a gradual return to more strenuous activities in the coming weeks. The final outcome becomes more apparent as the breasts heal completely, which can take several months.

Breast Augmentation Frequently Asked Questions

How long do the results of Breast Augmentation last?

Breast implants can provide optimal results for a decade or longer. In some cases, breast revision surgery will need to be performed after several years to maintain optimal results.

Can I still breastfeed after Breast Augmentation surgery?

While many women can breastfeed after breast augmentation, there's a possibility of challenges. Make sure to communicate your intentions to breastfeed with your surgeon, who can offer personalized advice and guidance based on your individual situation.

What is recovery and downtime like after Breast Augmentation surgery?

Recovery after breast augmentation typically involves a few days of discomfort and swelling, with most individuals returning to light activities within a week. Strenuous activities and heavy lifting are restricted for four to six weeks to allow proper healing. Complete recovery, including the settling of implants and final results, may take several months.

How do I select the right breast implants?

Selecting the right breast implants involves careful consideration of your desired size and shape, ensuring the implants complement your body proportions. Your surgeon will discuss the differences between saline and silicone implants to help you decide on the type that aligns with your preferences and lifestyle. You will also be able to select the implant's profile and projection, considering your chest dimensions and aesthetic goals.

How much does Breast Augmentation cost?

During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will assess your needs, discuss the proposed procedure, and provide a detailed breakdown of the costs involved. Total costs can vary based on the type of implants selected and other details of the procedure.
